“The glistening azure-glazed vessel and vibrant floral arrangement exemplify Bonnard’s application of the intimisme of his earlier Nabis pictures and the vibrant coloration that define the most successful compositions of his later years. Still-lifes had occupied a large part of the artist’s oeuvre over the course of his career, but as he developed his style, his approach to these compositions is much more…

Why Is Paul Gauguin So Controversial?
“Was Van Gogh really painting a vase of sunflowers when his friend Gauguin produced this portrait of him? No, he can’t have been: it was December and far too late in the year for sunflowers. But it’s quite probable that Van Gogh painted a copy of one of his own sunflower pictures around this time….

Mozart: Piano Quartet No. 1 in G Minor, K. 478: II. Andante
“Richard E. Miller’s Tea-Time, an elegant and sumptuous work, exemplifies the artist’s celebrated, luminous images of young women in luxurious interiors that often open to gardens. A decorative painting in the Impressionist style, Tea-Time demonstrates Miller’s mastery of brushwork and color to produce a richly textured canvas. Miller executed this work around 1914 while living…
Mozart: Piano Quartet No. 2 in E-Flat Major, K. 493: I. Allegro
“Painstakingly composed with small touches of brilliant colour, Couture sous la grande pergola illustrates Henri Martin’s mastery of Neo-Impressionist technique, as well as his penchant for classical motifs. Depicting an outdoor scene, this work captures the vibrant effect of sunlight coming through the foliage of a pergola in subtle variations of perfectly harmonised tones. Decomposing…

Renoir: Mademoiselle Grimprel au ruban rouge (1880)
“Painted in 1880, Mademoiselle Grimprel au ruban rouge (Hélène Grimprel) dates from the brief highpoint of Renoir’s portrait painting. It was between the years of 1878 and 1881 that Renoir painted many of the greatest of his portraits, and indeed gained, albeit for a short time, some financial security because of it… While Mademoiselle Grimprel…

Pierre-Auguste Renoir: Confidence
“Painted in 1897, Confidence captures a couple in a private moment of conversation, the woman’s lips slightly parted as she leans in to speak, the man’s head lowered in a posture of concentration. The intimacy of the scene is emphasized by the extremely close vantage point, with both heads abruptly cropped by the edges of…

Paul Sérusier: Synchronie en vert
“Synchrony in Green is a composition characterised by a limited colour range. The simplification of planes reinforces the sober and expressive nature of this still life, and these values are in turn heightened by the geometric shapes of the elements portrayed. Set in an undefined interior, in the foreground we perceive a jug and three…

Camille Thomas: Cello Sonata in G Minor, Op.65 (Chopin)
“A journey in three chapters to discover Chopin’s life through the sound of the cello. The most ambitious project of the Franco-Belgian cellist Camille Thomas. Camille Thomas plays on the Franchomme’s mythical cello – the Stradivarius Feuermann. The Chopin’s sonata for cello and piano was dedicated to his friend Auguste-Joseph Franchomme. Franchomme transcribed the Chopin’s…
Sonia Delaunay: Nature morte portugaise (1916)
“A joyful testament to Sonia Delaunay’s fruitful and happy years on the Iberian peninsula, Nature morte portugaise is a powerful expression of colour, movement and light that immerses the viewer in the raucous, sensual atmosphere of the sun-drenched Portuguese marketplace. Painted in the challenging new medium of wax, this work is a superb example of the…

“The present work draws on the theme of discipleship and the divine nature of Christ rather than a specific episode of the New Testament. Though he was not an orthodox Christian, Redon mixed in Catholic circles and was clearly attracted to the figure of Christ who features frequently at this time.” READ FULL ESSAY: Sotheby’s…
Henri Martin: Amoureux au printemps
“In 1900, Martin acquired property in Labastide-du-Vert, a small village in France’s Midi-Pyrenées region. On the thirty acres of land stood a large seventeenth-century manor named Marquayrol, a place Martin would enjoy as a summer residence and the setting for many of his greatest pictures. The artist wrote of this period as a turning point in…
Edgar Degas: Préparation pour la classe (1882-85)
“In Préparation pour la classe, Degas explores the rhythmic possibilities of a group of three dancers, two leaning forward slightly, feet in third position, but in mirror image of each other. A third dancer, at the left, is present in ghostly, shadowed profile, her limbs almost as transparent as the tulle of her tutu. Degas…
Pierre Bonnard: Nature morte (1939)
“A scintillating vision of the domestic everyday, Nature morte from 1939 embodies the expressive possibilities of light and color. A superlative example of Pierre Bonnard’s late still lifes, the present work dates to the year in which the artist permanently relocated to the Côte d’Azur as a consequence of the Second World War and subsequently…
