Happy Birthday, Dear One!

You are loved and missed today and every day. ❤️❤️❤️ “A luminous bouquet of fresh dahlias and wild roses radiates against a dark green background to striking, almost abstract effect. An admirer of pyrotechnic displays throughout his life, Anglada Camarasa painted rhythmic, dynamically-extending patterns and bright colours that mimic the configurations of exploding fireworks.” READ…

Van Gogh and Chopin Nocturnes

“Small though it is, Sprig of Flowering Almond Blossom in a Glass is like an eloquent proclamation of things to come–not just the arrival of spring, but of the imminent blossoming of van Gogh’s art… The principal image [is] an exquisitely observed almond branch whose every corrugation of twig and delicacy of petal has been…

William-Adolphe Bouguereau: Lullaby (1873)

“”Berceuse (Le coucher) was painted in the artist’s Paris studio in 1873 and holds a prominent place in this category of works which was particularly dear to the artist. In the present painting, a young Roman mother holds a naked infant and is gently moving him into his cradle. The central group is framed by…

2Cellos: Benedictus

In Douce quietude A…, Chu used free, uncontrolled brushstrokes to draw high, rugged mountains in the middle of the painting, creating a powerful image. He puts a lot of emphasis on the fluidity and movement of the brushstrokes. Flowing brushstrokes are developed from Chinese calligraphy and feel automated and spontaneous. Comparing this piece of work…

Paul Gauguin: The White Horse

These out-of-the-way places swarmed with all sorts of wildlife and plants which enchanted him.But this scene is not taken from real life; it is an imaginary, synthetic vision…

A Little Liszt, A Little Lebasque

As is noted by Lisa Banner, ‘’Intimism,’ a term which best describes Lebasque’s painting, refers to the close domestic subject matter in such a manner as to convey the personal nature of his response to the thing painted, and the universal familiarity of home and family. There is a sense of calm infused in Lebasque’s…

Van Gogh: Two Cypresses

Cypresses was painted in late June 1889, shortly after Van Gogh began his yearlong stay at the asylum in Saint-Rémy. The subject, which he found “beautiful as regards lines and proportions, like an Egyptian obelisk,” both captivated and challenged the artist: “It’s the dark patch in a sun-drenched landscape, but it’s one of the most…

“Painted in 1909, Sonnenuntergang (Sunset) is one of the earliest of Nolde’s celebrated seascapes… For Nolde, who grew up on the coast and was to spend almost all his life near the ocean, the sea was an imposing and powerful presence, an elemental force of nature that was an important and recurrent feature of both…
