At Sunnyside – Where Truth and Beauty Meet

Marianne Stokes: Candlemas Day

“Like a number of other painters with whose work Marianne Stokes has affinities – notably Joseph Southall and the Birmingham school – the artist abandoned oils towards the turn of the century in favour of tempera painting, and, ‘Candlemas Day’ is a good example of her work in this medium. According to Alice Meynell, this…

Pierre Bonnard: Femme assise, de dos

“Unlike the long series of paintings that the artist would make of a hired studio model in 1905, which appear quite consciously posed, Marthe seems to be caught unaware at a private moment, her head bowed in a posture of self-absorption. A man’s straw boater, which hangs on the wall in the background, provides evidence…

Martha Argerich: Piano Concerto No. 2 (Beethoven)

“Maurice Prendergast played a key role in the development of Modernism in America. His ability to absorb and adapt the tenets of European Modernism into his own distinctly color-focused style introduced the American public and other artists to Post Impressionism. Whilst his own work retained strong European influences, he gave subsequent generations of American artists…

Gustav Klimt: Houses at Unterach on the Attersee

“Even to this day, the shorefront of Unterach on the Attersee retains much of the appearance captured by Klimt circa 1916–ninety years ago. In Klimt’s rendering of the Houses in Unterach on the Attersee, the traditional appearance of the houses is at odds with the intense modernity of their depiction. The interlocking forms in this…

Justin Johnson: Tears in Heaven (Clapton)

““Tears in Heaven” is a ballad written by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings about the pain Clapton felt following the death of his four-year-old son, Conor, who fell from a window of the 53rd-floor New York apartment of his mother’s friend, on March 20, 1991.” via Epitaph “Over the last year, I’ve gotten a lot…

Maria Berrio: Our Children on the Battlefield

“In her group portraits, Berrío routinely includes at least one of her figures—typically a woman—staring directly out at the viewer. Here, despite the tilt of her head, the central woman maintains direct eye contact with the viewer, engaging them in a silent dialogue. Surrounding this dominant central figure with a baby balanced comfortably on her…

“Speaking of his own art…, Rubin declared: ‘I am not at all interested in copying nature. I wish only to express the idea of a Supreme Being. I am a seeker of a God who will end the suffering of humanity. I see Him in colour, line, movement’ “(quoted in A. Werner, Rubin, Tel-Aviv, 1958,…

Edouard Vuillard: Misia et Vallotton à Villeneuve

““I have always been shy in your presence, but the security, the assurance of a perfect understanding relieved me of all embarrassment; nothing was lost by this understanding being a wordless one.” So wrote the typically reticent Vuillard, with unexpected candor, to the prodigiously charismatic and alluring Misia Natanson, his perennial muse and the object…

Gustave Loiseau: Quay in Dieppe

‘Loiseau’s brush translates the vibrations of air and water, with its infinite modulations’ (Catherine Puguet, curator of the Musee de Pont-Aven’s 2001 retrospective Gustave Loiseau and Brittany). “To this painting of air and light inherited from Impressionism, Loiseau adds a very personal signature: thick layers of paint, with apparent irregularities and disparities, evoking the roughness…

Pierre Bonnard: Corbeille de fruits

” …“On the dining room table stood baskets with tall handles of plaited osier or raffia,” recalled Bonnard’s grand-nephew Michel Terrasse, a frequent visitor to Le Bosquet, “somewhere to put the peonies and mimosa, the oranges, lemons, and persimmons gathered, with the figs, from the garden” (op. cit., 1988, p. 14).Departing from the Impressionists’ deftly…

“By 1917, Bonnard had left the darker tones of his Nabis days firmly behind him and here we can see him in confident command of a luminous and transformative palette. Powerfully expressive, color in Bonnard’s still-lives radiates a very human heat, suffusing his interiors and the objects within them with a sense of the bodies…

Robert Delaunay: Cathédrale de Laon

“Reflecting the peak of Synthetic Cubism at that time, the city appears deconstructed into geometric planes, shifting between two and three dimensions…The composition unfolds across multiple planes, which themselves subdivide further: the shape of the canvas—like a window onto the landscape—mirrors the shape of the building windows, which in turn repeat the city’s architectural forms…Here,…
