At Sunnyside – Where Truth and Beauty Meet

Paul Delaroche: The Execution of Lady Jane Grey

“Delaroche shows the final moments of the blindfolded Lady Jane as she pleads, ‘What shall I do? Where is the block?’ She is being guided towards it by Sir John Brydges, Lieutenant of the Tower. Her outer clothing has already been removed and is gathered in the lap of a lady-in-waiting, who has slumped to…

Edouard Vuillard: Two Seamstresses in the Workroom

“The women seen in profile in the painting worked for Vuillard’s mother in her corset and dress-making business. For a few years in the early 1890s Vuillard’s paintings became so highly patterned that they verged on abstraction. It is likely that his day-to-day contact with patterned materials through his mother’s work influenced his very intricate,…

Wu Guanzhong: A Lacebark Pine of the Jing Mountains

“The bark of this type of pine peels from its trunk in irregular patches, producing a mottled pattern of white and brown of exceptional beauty…Whereas Van Gogh, influenced by Japan’s ukiyo-e paintings, tended in his later works to find sharp contrasts between his dark-colored outlines and brighter blocks of color, Wu Guanzhong distilled his lines…

Thomas Moran: Grand Canal, Venice

“Executed twenty years after his first visit in 1886, the present work is further evidence of his prolonged interest in Venetian subject matter. Enthralled by the colors and light of this Italian city, Moran often anchored his Venetian subjects with recognizable architecture. The white domes of Santa Maria della Salute, along with the campanile of…

Carlo Antonio Campioni: Sonata in G Minor

The Vivaldi Project“Praised for its brilliant and expressive playing, The Vivaldi Project presents innovative programs of Baroque and Classical string repertoire that combine scholarship and performance to both educate and delight audiences. The period instrument ensemble takes its name from the virtuoso violinist and innovative composer Antonio Vivaldi in recognition of his pivotal position between…

Eva Cassidy: The Water Is Wide

The present work, En Barque sur la Marne, is exemplary in combining most of Lebasque’s influential artistic experiences into one luminous painting. The thick iridescent touches of paint show Lebasque’s understanding of colour and divisionnisme, whilst he uses bright tones to suffuse the scene with a sense of liveliness. An intimate scene of a young…

Max Ernst: Calme

“Arizona reappears as a motif throughout Ernst’s oeuvre, serving as blank canvas upon which the artist was able to project his psychological frame of mind. His grattages from the interwar period had depicted an imaginary Arizona landscape that appeared bleak and ravaged, reflecting Ernst’s traumatized state of mind after having served in World War I….

Wu Guanzhong: Guilin

“Wu Guanzhong’s paintings of Guilin landscapes can be grouped into works from the 1970s and 1990s. The earlier paintings rely more on sketches from life and are executed with complex compositions and detailed depictions of scenery. The latter ones focus on the charm and atmosphere, with simplified compositions and refined colour palettes. The artist himself…

Frederick Carl Frieseke: La Poudreuse

“The woman, likely the artist’s wife Sarah O’Bryan, sits before her poudreuse, compartments open, selecting a necklace to wear…The mood is contemplative yet cheery. The open top of the center compartment draped with a blue and yellow shawl begins a diagonal line that recedes into the painting through the sitter on to the back of…

Peter Paul Rubens: Annunciation (Study)

“Combining the freshness of drawing with the material robustness of painting, the oil sketch offers a glimpse of Rubens’ artistic invention, while also serving a functional role for him. Undiluted by workshop intervention, the intimately-scaled work conveys the same sense of grandeur and baroque drama as the monumental altarpiece, which measures almost ten feet high.4 Rendered…

Ambrose McEvoy: Vicomtesse Phyllis de Janzé

“McEvoy excelled when painting the great, the good and the glamourous and had a penchant for rebellious young women whose defiance he could ineffably translate onto canvas. Phyllis was one such woman. Her name features prominently in diaries from the period which comment on her fondness for fashion and her daring disregard for the entrenched…

Emil Nolde: Blumen

Emil Nolde (born Hans Emil Hansen; 7 August 1867 – 13 April 1956) was a German-Danish painter and printmaker. He was one of the first Expressionists, a member of Die Brücke, and was one of the first oil painting and watercolor painters of the early 20th century to explore color. He is known for his…

Sonia Delaunay: Prismes électriques

“Interpreted as an ode to modernity, Prismes Electriques was inspired by a walk down the Boulevard Saint- Michel in Paris, when Sonia Delaunay and her artist husband Robert came upon newly installed electric lamplights. Both artists agreed to try to recreate the glow of the lights in their artworks.” wocomoCULTURE Read More Orphism at Guggenheim…

“His handling of colours to represent elements of light and dark were seamlessly executed in Crossing (lot 334) – appearing for the first time at auction, this is an iconic example created at the height of Chu’s mature period.

Georgia O’Keeffe: Blue and Green Music

“Around 1920 Georgia O’Keeffe painted a number of oils exploring, as she later recalled, “the idea that music could be translated into something for the eye.” In Blue and Green Music, O’Keeffe’s colors and forms simultaneously suggest the natural world and evoke the experience of sound. She was drawn to the theories of the Russian…
