Odilon Redon: L’enfant prédestinée, Ophélie

There is a willow grows askant the brookThat shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream.Therewith fantastic garlands did she makeOf cornflowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples,That liberal shepherds give a grosser name,But our cold maids do “dead men fingers” call them.There on the pendant boughs her coronet weedsClamb’ring to hang, an envious sliver broke,When…

Frank Cadogan Cowper: Vanity

“Although Cowper did not belong to a particular artistic group this, like many of his paintings, relates to the work of artists now known as ‘Second Generation Pre-Raphaelites’. Decorative and richly coloured, ‘Vanity’ suggests the romance of the past and alludes to notions of the chivalric and courtly love.” Royal Academy UK “The title of…

Cedric, Sokolov, and Schubert

“Morris would grow his colourful subject matter in the garden at Pound Farm where he also had a studio, and one of his ex-students, Joan Warburton (1920–1996), later reminisced how ‘to go in there quietly when Cedric was painting the favourite of all his flowers, Irises, was a revelation.’ It was Morris’s incredibly close contact…

Pierre Bonnard: Bouquet de fleurs

“The still life motif formed an integral part of Bonnard’s œuvre and Bouquet de fleurs is exemplative of the artist’s long-standing exploration of colour. Bonnard applies broad gestural brushstrokes to delineate a profusion of flowers and verdant foliage that rise from a decorative blue vase and infuse the composition with a dynamic ebullience… Through this…

Henry Salem Hubbell: Young Woman With a Toy

“Henry Salem Hubbell is admired for his use of colors, as seen in the vibrant brushstrokes of this figure’s multicolored coat. Hubbell painted many portraits of women elegantly captured in the simple act of pouring tea, lacing a boot, or playing with a toy.” Questroyal Fine Art Hear More Mozart At Sunnyside See More This…

Mikhail Nesterov: The Nightingale is Singing

“…in the delicately observed motif of the nightingale’s song, which seems to come from beyond the bounds of the picture, a theme resonates which was of great significance in Nesterov’s work — the theme of music bringing man and nature into harmony. As we look at this picture, we are reminded of what Vasily Rozanov…

Frederick Carl Frieseke: Foxgloves

“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,…

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…

Beethoven, Blommers, and Höhenrieder

“To Blommers, children represented happiness and innocence, and he often captured children’s play in his pictures. He himself once said that although he saw children by the sea almost everyday, they offered him something new every time. (‘Ja, dat schilder ik graag, zulke kinderen aan zee. Ik zie ze bijna iedere dag zoo, en toch…

Dante Gabriel Rossetti: The Girlhood of Mary Virgin (1849)

“Christ’s mother Mary (modelled by Rosetti’s sister, Christina) is shown here as a girl. She works on an embroidery with her mother (portrayed by Rosetti’s mother, Frances). In the background, Mary’s father is shown pruning a vine. The painting is full of Christian symbolism. The palm branch and thorn on the floor represent Christ. The…

Evgeny Kissin Plays Beethoven

“According to Severini, the environment is optically determined and hence fluid, and the human figure is merely a part, albeit an inseparable part, of that metamorphic reality. In this canvas and others the cadences of the swirling motion of the dance and the dancer’s costume are compared with those of the sea’s movement. The large…

Richard Edward Miller: Contemplation

“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,…

Martha Argerich Plays Beethoven

“Chu created a series of artworks in the 1990s that explored shadows and light, forms and colours, as he began to shift towards inner explorations, which the artist described as “roaming among my memories.” … The painting presented here, is a large-scale work from the series that epitomizes the artist’s fluidity with light and masterful…

Vladimir Horowitz: Scenes from Childhood (Schumann)

“Renoir’s lavish scenes of frolicking bathers were some of the most celebrated compositions of his mature career, and Baigneuses is a beautiful and richly-painted example of this theme.  The composition is one of Renoir’s more realistic portrayals of public bathing and features the subjects in the modest swimwear that was common during this era.  The two figures in the foreground are…
