Odilon Redon: Simone Fayet en communiante (1908)

“…Simone Fayet, Gustave Fayet’s daughter, is represented taking her first communion in front of a backdrop of stained glass. Like the portrait which Redon had painted of her two years earlier, Simone Fayet avec sa poupe, the young girl’s expression is serious and thoughtful…The composition of the work is unusual. Simone, seen in profile, occupies…

Jules Bastien-Lepage: Portrait of Sarah Bernhardt (1879)

“By its very nature, a profile is more intimate than a full face; we observe without being observed. The mask is not in place and the eyes do not distract. In this instance, they cast their gaze upon a sculpture as a connoisseur might, and the piece Mlle Bernhardt delicately fingers is that of Orpheus,…

Pierre Bonnard: Palmier rose au Cannet (1924)

“…Watkins has described the process by which Bonnard mediated and transposed these observations of the landscape back in his studio: “Paintings begun in the memory of a visual experience encapsulated in a drawing were transformed through color into a rich, immensely varied surface made up of a tapestry of brushstrokes, glazes, scumbles, impasto, and highlights…

Diego Rivera: Paisaje (1919)

. “…my Cubist paintings are my most Mexican. Inside them there are plastic qualities—certain specific ways of expressing proportion and space, certain special and personal theories and practices and use of color—that are my own invention and belong to me.” (4) Rivera’s paintings stand on their own; they synthesize European artistic convention with issues of…

Max Pechstein: Herbstabend (1927)

“In Herbstabend we witness the evolution of Pechstein’s artistic metier; despite remarkable aesthetic consistencies with Expressionism, the powerful substitution of pastoral figures with the symbol of the home implies a profound domestication. At this point in his life, Pechstein clearly enjoyed a socioeconomic security that informed the new, calmer landscape evident here. Unfortunately this tranquility…

Jules Bastien-Lepage: Joan of Arc (1879)

“As one of the Lorraine natives inspired by the sudden relevance of Joan of Arc’s image, Jules Bastien-Lepage in 1875 started sketches for this life-sized portrait of Joan of Arc showing her at the moment that she received her first call to arms against the English invaders of 1424. Bastien-Lepage captures the suddenness of the…

Pierre Bonnard: Flowers in a Stoneware Pot

“This rustic, variegated bouquet may have been placed either in the spacious dining room on the ground floor at Le Bosquet or in the intimate sitting area upstairs where Bonnard and Marthe took their breakfast and lunch each day. As always, however, Bonnard would have painted the composition in his studio, overt description giving way…

Frederick Carl Frieseke: Japanese Parasol

“According to Nicholas Kilmer, the present work was painted circa 1913 when the artist spent the winter with his family in Corsica. It was around this time that the burgeoning Giverny Group of American painters had drawn the attention of art critics back in New York. Henry McBride regarded Frieseke and the work of his…

Odilon Redon: Profil sous une arche

“Associated with the Symbolist movement, the art of Odilon Redon demonstrates a superb mastery of the pastel technique which draws it source from French 18th century art. The Impressionist painters such as Manet or Degas revived this medium, but Redon then developed a particular style which evoked a world inhabited by a deep sense of…

“Although Monet created the water garden in part to fulfill his passion for horticulture, he also intended it as a source of artistic inspiration.

“…Rooted in childhood memories of Colombia and the artist’s experience of migration, as well as a fascination with the relationship between humans and their environment, The Lovers 4 is charged with a history that is as personal as it is universal, and as timely as it is timeless. Executed in Berrio’s idiosyncratic paper collage style,…

Pierre Bonnard: Renoncules au vase bleu

“For Bonnard, the still-life offered a perfect vehicle for his studies in light and color, with bundles of flowers and fruit among his favorite subjects to explore. In the present bouquet, a bright summer arrangement dominated by a group of orange ranunculuses, the flowers have begun to droop, their full, heavy blossoms dipping downwards, over…

Jacques-Louis David: The Death of Socrates, Part II

“In addition to being an essential step in the elaboration of the Metropolitan picture, the present drawing is a fascinating document for our understanding of David’s working method. He first traces different lines of perspective and outlines in graphite the décor with the help of a ruler. He then adds, still using graphite, the figures…
