“In Foxgloves a woman stand in a garden, enveloped in variegated flowers and verdant foliage. Conveying a romantic parallel between the woman and flowers, he blends her into the background essentially placing a “flower” within the flowers. Frieseke noted, “My one idea is to reproduce flowers in sunlight. I do not suggest detail by form,…

Harold Knight: Alfred Munnings Reading
“The recent discovery of Harold Knight’s Alfred Munnings Reading…sheds new light on a fascinating moment in the early careers of both artist and sitter.

Víkingur Ólafsson: Bach’s Goldberg Variations
“The Goldberg Variations contain some of the most virtuosic keyboard music ever written, some of the most astonishingly brilliant uses of counterpoint in the repertoire and countless instances of exalted poetry, abstract contemplation and deep pathos – all within immaculately shaped structures of formal perfection. In 30 variations, built on the humble harmonic framework of…
A Little Monet, A Little Mozart
“The shimmering light of mid-afternoon infuses Claude Monet’s painting of the old fortified coastal town of Antibes in the south of France. Monet traveled there in January of 1888 and was dazzled by the light and the striking scenery of the legendary Côte d’Azur (Azure Coast). However, he sometimes struggled with how to represent it…

Happy Birthday, Dear One!
You are loved and missed today and every day. ❤️❤️❤️ “A luminous bouquet of fresh dahlias and wild roses radiates against a dark green background to striking, almost abstract effect. An admirer of pyrotechnic displays throughout his life, Anglada Camarasa painted rhythmic, dynamically-extending patterns and bright colours that mimic the configurations of exploding fireworks.” READ…

Edouard Manet: A Bar at the Folies-Bergère
“Opened a decade or so earlier, the Folies-Bergère had rapidly become one of most popular music halls and places of entertainment in Paris. Manet frequented it with friends and made sketches on site.

Berthe Morisot: The Cradle

“Consistent with the Impressionist aesthetic that Berthe Morisot fervently espoused, Woman at Her Toilette attempts to capture the essence of modern life in summary, understated terms…Rendered with soft, feathery brushstrokes in nuanced shades of lavender, pink, blue, white, and gray, the composition resembles a visual tone poem, orchestrated with such perfumed and rarified motifs as…

“Marie Louise Kane writes, “A series of women-in-interiors painted around 1913…are among Miller’s most inventive works. By placing his figures indoors in front of windows overlooking gardens, as he increasingly did, Miller could combine the play of natural light with complex patterns created by man-made objects, like shutters, blinds, wicker chairs, striped and tiered fabrics,…
Tessarini: Flute Sonatas, Op. 12

“Childe Hassam posed a young model at a mahogany table with two vases of Maréchal Niel roses, a flower named for Napoléon III’s secretary of war. Hassam believed that people were shaped by their environments, and here the hybrid roses symbolize America’s culture, which he thought had absorbed the best elements of European and Asian history. The two…
