Cedric Morris: May Flowering Irises No. 2 (1935)
“By 1935, when this work was painted, Morris’s fascination with irises had firmly taken hold.

Santiago Rusiñol i Prats: The Girl with Carnation
“From the beginning the light of Sitges dazzled Rusinol’s retina, just like before it blinded Arcadi Mas I Fondevila, Joan Roig I Soler and the rest of the Luminist School painters.

Pierre Bonnard: Portrait de Madame Hessel ou La Dame en Rouge (1901)

Pierre Bonnard: Paysage stylisé, Le Grand-Lemps

Executed circa 1890, Paysage stylisé (Le Grand-Lemps) represents the cutting-edge style of a new anti-naturalist tendency in…
