At Sunnyside – Where Truth and Beauty Meet

Vincent Van Gogh: First Steps, After Millet

“In fall and winter 1889–90, while a voluntary patient at the asylum in Saint-Rémy, Van Gogh painted twenty-one copies after Millet, an artist he greatly admired. He considered his copies “translations” akin to a musician’s interpretation of a composer’s work. He let the black-and-white images—whether prints, reproductions, or, as here, a photograph that his brother,…

Richard Edward Miller: Contemplation

“Marie Louise Kane writes, “A series of women-in-interiors painted around 1913…are among Miller’s most inventive works. By placing his figures indoors in front of windows overlooking gardens, as he increasingly did, Miller could combine the play of natural light with complex patterns created by man-made objects, like shutters, blinds, wicker chairs, striped and tiered fabrics,…

Tessarini: Flute Sonatas, Op. 12

“Carlo Tessarini da Rimini (c.1690–c.1767) is one of the ‘forgotten generation’ of Italian Baroque masters who made their name and sometimes their fortune outside their native land. Tessarini was popular in England and the Netherlands, where both the public and publishers rated him on a par with Vivaldi and Albinoni.” Brilliant Classics See More Hugo…

Martha Argerich Plays Beethoven

“Chu created a series of artworks in the 1990s that explored shadows and light, forms and colours, as he began to shift towards inner explorations, which the artist described as “roaming among my memories.” … The painting presented here, is a large-scale work from the series that epitomizes the artist’s fluidity with light and masterful…

Vladimir Horowitz: Scenes from Childhood (Schumann)

“Renoir’s lavish scenes of frolicking bathers were some of the most celebrated compositions of his mature career, and Baigneuses is a beautiful and richly-painted example of this theme. The composition is one of Renoir’s more realistic portrayals of public bathing and features the subjects in the modest swimwear that was common during this era. The two figures in the foreground are…

Peder Mønsted: Winter Day in Charlottenlund Forest

Of the piece, Lang Lang says: “For me it is very romantic, and light, like a feather. It has to come from nowhere and it has to touch people. It can’t just be treated as background music. I’ve tried to play the piece as the masterpiece that it is, and I hope that children who…

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater: Revelations

“Line is an important element in painting; it composes the forms and demonstrates the brushwork of an artist. Chu’s brushstrokes are rapid and ever-changing, with varied speeds, weights and rhythms. Lively and energetic, Chu’s brushwork scales the image like a dancing snake. He once said, “I am from the East, and there are a lot…

Arthur Rubinstein: Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Minor

“Childe Hassam posed a young model at a mahogany table with two vases of Maréchal Niel roses, a flower named for Napoléon III’s secretary of war.

The two…

Matthew West: When God Whispers Your Name

“Although this picture was executed earlier, it appears to have been reworked by Hacker in 1914, at the outbreak of the First World War. This accounts for the painting being signed twice, once lower right, and later lower left. To add poignancy, an eagle (symbol of the German Empire) hovers upper right, while the figure…
