“Painted circa 1922, Le corsage rayé presents a radiant and quintessential example of Bonnard’s mastery of the interior scene. Painted from memory, Bonnard’s domestic vignettes stemmed from lived experience and years of inhabiting the same space as his subjects. Among his favoured models, …was his long-time muse and eventual wife Marthe de Méligny… Marthe’s enigmatic…

Jun Luke Foster: Sonata in A minor K310 (Mozart)
“The present pastel is Redon’s beautiful rendering of the Cain and Abel story. Christian imagery rarely appeared in his early work. However, during the 1890s Redon responded to the Catholic revival that emerged in France during the previous decade and remained a powerful force in the nation’s cultural life until the First World War…Biblical imagery…
Paul Gauguin: Melancholic (1891)
“Disillusioned with modern society, Paul Gauguin left France for Tahiti in 1891 in search of an earthly paradise that he imagined was untouched by civilization. Upon arriving, he realized that colonialism had all but eradicated traditional Tahitian culture. Here, a Tahitian woman wears a Western-style dress and gold marriage band introduced by Catholic missionaries. In…

Casting Crowns: I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day
“In the late 1860s, Monet started to extend the need to capture sensations and render “the effect” to all transitory, even fleeting states of nature. Taking Pissarro, Renoir and Sisley with him, Monet tackled the great challenge of a snow-covered landscape, which Courbet had grandly explored with great success not long before. Toning down Courbet’s…
Pentatonix: My Heart With You
“An aspect of Bonnard’s art that grew in importance after 1900 was his Impressionist inheritance and its influence is very evident in the present work. In a departure from his earlier Nabi preference for flat pattern, unbroken fields of color and compositions freed from atmospheric effects, the present work makes transient light and modulated color…

Joseph Bologne’s Violin Concerto No. 2 in A Major
Who Was Joseph Bologne? “Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-George(s) (25 December 1745 – 9 June 1799) was a French violinist, conductor, composer and soldier. His historical significance lies in his distinctive background as a biracial free man of color. Bologne was the first classical composer of African descent to attain widespread acclaim in European music. He…
Rabindranath Tagore: Where The Mind Is Without Fear
“For Pissarro, the rural countryside represented the very antithesis to modern urban life. Indeed, in paintings such as La Charité the artist celebrates, as Robert Herbert suggested, “ideals of health, honest labor and dignity which he set against the pollution and degraded labor of the city” (Robert Herbert, “City vs. Country: The Rural Image in French Painting…

Jacques Emile Blanche: Tamara Karsavina, of the Ballets Russes (1928)
“In her autobiography, Theatre Street, Tamara Karsavina recalls sitting for Jacques-Emile Blanche in 1911: “That summer I sat to Jacques Blanche for my portrait. A quieter refuge from the feverish pulsation of Parisian life could not have been found than his large studio at Passy. The same restfulness emanated from the artist himself. There was…

“Albrecht Mayer discovered the music of J.S. Bach at the age of 8, as a choirboy at Bamberg Cathedral. Within a couple of years he was able to play some of the composer’s simpler keyboard pieces on the piano. “Even then,” he recalls, “I could feel this transcendent image of his music going through my…

Home Free: Sea Shanty Medley
“According to Petra ten-Doesschate Chu, “Martin owed his success to the development of a painting style that melded traditional and modernist elements. While he valued and relied upon his solid academic training, he was also quite attracted to the innovations of the Impressionists and Neo-Impressionists. With the former group, especially Claude Monet, he shared an…
Schubert: Ständchen from “Schwanengsang”
“October is an account of the bleak autumnal potato harvest, set in a bare, featureless landscape. October was painted at the artist’s native village of Damvillers, in the Meuse Valley to the northeast of Paris. Here, inspired by the example of Millet and Courbet, Bastien-Lepage had planned to paint rural life as he knew it,…

Paul Gauguin: Autumn in Brittany
“Fleeing what he felt was the overly civilized and decadent environment of Paris, Paul Gauguin lived periodically in the remote and rugged Brittany region of northwestern France. In works such as this, he sought to convey traditional village life, which he considered an antidote to the ills of modern society. Unlike the Impressionists, Gauguin did…
Jacques-Louis David: Portrait of Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier and His Wife (1788)
“A landmark of European portraiture that asserts a modern, scientifically minded couple in fashionable but simple dress, this painting was excluded from the Salon of 1789 for fears it would further ignite revolutionary zeal. Technical analysis has revealed that a first iteration excluded the scientific instruments and would have been a far more conventional portrait…
