Elizabeth Sparhawk-Jones: The Shoe Shop

“In 1911 the department store was a relatively new and important urban institution, and The Shoe Shop depicts the activities of female employees and their customers.

Her early work often represented women in the modern…

John William Waterhouse: The Necklace

“This is a preliminary idea for an illustration to Keats’s Lamia (Royal Academy, 1909), the tale of a nymph trapped in the body of a serpent. Hermes sets her free, and revives her human form. The picture is a reprise of others by Waterhouse in which a beautiful nymph is seated at the edge of a pool…All…

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,…

John William Waterhouse: Female head study for ‘A Naiad’

“This highly-impressionistic sketch is a study of the female model in Waterhouse’s painting of 1893 entitled A Naiad (private collection). It anticipates his masterpiece of three years later Hylas and the Nymphs (1896, Manchester City Gallery), which depicts Hylas, a companion of Hercules, who becomes bewitched by a group of mesmerisingly beautiful water-nymphs who lure…

John William Waterhouse: Miranda, The Tempest

“With the present work Waterhouse demonstrates the breadth of his skill as Miranda braces herself against the rising storm, her thick, auburn hair and the weighty folds of her fabric gripped by the winds. The pale hand held to her breast seemingly visualizes the moment when Miranda cries “Against my very heart. Poor souls, they…

Emil Nolde: Blaue Stiefmütterchen

“There is silver blue, sky blue and thunder blue. Every colour holds within it a soul, which makes me happy or repels me, and which acts as a stimulus. To a person who has no art in him, colours are colours, tones tones…and that is all. All their consequences for the human spirit, which range…

Claude Monet: Nymphéas fragment

“Monet first painted the Nymphéas in 1897 and the motif occupied the artist until his death in 1926; hundreds of canvases illustrate the pond and surrounding gardens. As the series progressed, Monet’s art underwent a shift from his earlier, more precise impressionistic landscapes to increasingly indulgent and vibrant waterscapes that border on abstraction. Monet wrote…

Vincente Manansala: Pounding Rice

“A prolific member of the pre-war Thirteen Moderns and of the post-war Neo-Realists, Vicente Manansala is respected as one of the most influential artists in the Filipino modern arts sphere, seizing the nation and its characters to shape a vision of Philippine modernism that is strongly anchored on social and folk themes…It is within this…

Frederick Carl Frieseke: The Yellow Room

“In The Yellow Room Frieseke fused bold color juxtapositions and careful formal design, bringing together the qualities he most admired in the work of Monet and Whistler. He posed his model in the living room of his own house in Giverny, which itself was one of his artistic creations. Frieseke had painted the walls lemon…

Paul Gauguin: Pêcheur et baigneurs sur l’Aven

“Painted in late summer of 1888, Paul Gauguin’s Pêcheur et baigneurs sur l’Aven depicts a fisherman and several intrepid bathers on the shallow banks of the River Aven in Brittany. The human figures in the scene are utterly dwarfed by the colorful landscape that surrounds them…This vivid, evocative painterly landscape represents a crucial turning point…

František Kupka’s “Visible Music”
