At Sunnyside – Where Truth and Beauty Meet

Degas’ Deux danseuses en jaune

“By the 1890s, pastel had become his most favoured medium as it allowed him a variety of techniques and, crucially, the chance to build up complex layered colour schemes, as is evident here…This is evident, for instance, in the areas of shadow and light, for instance the turquoise area by the right-hand dancer’s left leg…Degas’…

George Morren: Le Renouveau

“The dazzling Le Renouveau by the Belgian painter, sculptor and decorative artist George Morren ranks among the most accomplished works of the Neo-Impressionist movement…Shimmering with the light and reflection of the mid-day sun, this springtime scene of a wet nurse with babe-in-arms displays Morren’s talents at their best…Because he was independently wealthy and did not need to sell his…

The Real Cézanne

“In removing recognizable details, Cezanne moved a step forward in his desire to fully translate the sensation of standing within nature…As Cezanne described, in the present work, he has rendered the mountain in a palette of soft blues, as well as lilacs and pinks, lending this monumental landmark a sense of ephemeral lightness that perfectly…

Philip de Laszlo: Master of Portraiture

“Philip de László was one of the most stylish and successful portrait painters of the late nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries. Like John Singer Sargent (1856-1925), he was an exponent of the fluidly-painted ‘swagger portrait’, but always managed to capture a sense of the sitter’s interior life, sometimes with a tinge of…

“How Can I Keep From Singing?”

My life goes on in endless song; Above earth’s lamentation,I hear the ring of a far off bell That hails a new creation;Above the tomb of Endless strife I hear its music ringing;It sounds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?While tho’ the tempest around me roars I hear the truth;…

Renoir’s Eye for Color

“Reading forms an important recurring motif in Renoir’s oeuvre, despite his professed aversion to all literary influences in visual art. “For me, a painting should be something pleasant, joyous, and pretty,” he insisted, “yes, pretty!” (ibid., p. 16). Books distracted his models from the difficult task of posing at length, allowing him to work without…

Phaeton, young and impulsive, demanded to try to drive the chariot but the pull was too strong and the chariot crashed into earth. In order…

Camille Pissarro: La cueillette des pommes

“In both of his versions of La cueillette des pommes, then, Pissarro was carefully constructing reality, augmenting it in order to be able to give a more profound sensation for the viewer, echoing Degas’ statement that, ‘Drawing is not what one sees but what one can make others see’ (quoted in R. Kendall, ed., Degas…

“Monet expanded the gardens surrounding his home at Giverny, in northern France, after seeing a Japanese garden and water-lily display at the 1889 world’s fair in Paris. The arched bridge he placed over a new pond may have been suggested by a Japanese gardener (as yet unidentified) who visited him when he was planning the…

“Like many of the early Pre-Raphaelites who came before him, John William Waterhouse found inspiration in the romantic narratives of the Middle-Ages. While based loosely on verifiable facts, the legend of Rosamund and Queen Eleanor is likely as much of a fairy tale as it is an accurate account… Waterhouse…depicts the moment in which Queen Eleanor…

Camille Pissarro: Rue des Roches au Valhermeil

“The critic J.-K. Huysmans praised Pissarro’s approach, stating: ‘From close up [the painting] is like brickwork, a strange wrinkled [patchwork], a stew of colours of all kinds covering the canvas with lilac, Naples yellow, madder-red, and green; at a distance, it is the air that moves, it is the sky that is boundless, it is…

Camille, Chopin, and O’Keeffe

O’Keeffe had learned from her studies with Arthur Dow that in oriental art “the same theme appears again and again with new beauty, with different quality and complex accompaniments,” an observation she put to practical use by repeatedly painting the same subject with constantly changing results. O’Keeffe wrote, “I work on an idea for a…

“In 1916 Cursiter married Orcadian Phyllis Hourston, a gifted violinist. Almost immediately after their wedding, Cursiter was sent to the Somme. He was shortly invalided out of the trenches, but went on to develop a revolutionary technique of map-making in France, which earned him a military O.B.E. After World War I, Cursiter was earning a…
