Gari Melchers: Young Mother (1892-5)
“In this poignant work entitled Young Mother, Gari Melchers portrays a mother and child, a favorite theme throughout the artist’s career, in a form suggestive of religious imagery.

Odilon Redon: Le crucifix
“Redon’s interpretations of the life and sacrifice of Christ contain elements of his liberal social outlook and generally underplay the traditional devotional aspect of such imagery. The present work is especially beautiful for its spiritual treatment of abstract elements in the composition. Interlocking vertical and horizontal forms frame the scene, and Christ is viewed half-length,…

Gustave Loiseau: Falaises
“Loiseau’s interpretation of the cliffs of Northern France is charged with scintillatingly bright colour, tightly dappled brushstrokes in contrasting hues that vibrate off one another, creating a glittering sense of movement. Harnessing his subject on a grand scale and from an elevated viewpoint, Loiseau employs vertical brushstrokes in the cliff-faces to provide a vertiginous and…
Sonia Delaunay: Marché au Minho, Portugal
“In Marché au Minho, the artist places the beautiful young woman as the central figure within the composition, within her domain of the market. Colourful fabrics, fruits, vegetables and ceramics surround her in bright, primary hues formed of abstract coloured spheres, generating movement and depth and enhancing the dynamic arrangement of colour. The overall tone…

Henri-Edmond Cross: Women Tying the Vine
“In 1886 the critic Fénéon defined Cross’s style in the following words: “a light palette, objects, beings indicated with flat colours, light brushwork, a pretty fantasy.” These flat, toned-down colours (mixed with white) are here displayed above all in the traditional bonnets and in the bodies of the women bent over in the sun. In…

Bonnard, who considered himself “the last of the Impressionists,” emphasized…
Chen Yifei: Beauty With Fan (1996)
“Props in portrait works often play an important role in perfecting the composition of the work and shaping the subject’s personality. Chen Yifei arranged a round fan for the seated lady in Beauty with Fan, which carries an important symbolic meaning: In traditional Chinese culture, the gesture of holding a fan is closely related to…

“…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)
