London's Courtauld Gallery: French Impressionism & Post-Impressionism |
ART TRAILS 2017 -- at Sebastopol Center for the Arts and at Santa Rosa's Corricks |
Due to Sonoma Couty Fires, ART TRAIL'S 2017 has been Postponed one week |
London's Courtauld Gallery: |
||
This is not London's most famous or largest museum, but it is a "must see." Its impressive collection is small, 530 paintings and some 26,000 drawings. Major works by French painters include Paul Cezanne, Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin, Edouard Manet, Camille Pissarro, Claude Monet, Georges Seurat, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Chaim Soutine. |
London's neoclassical Somerset House, Home of the Courtauld Gallery, |
|
Dr. Ernst Vegelin, Head of the Courtauld Gallery offers this video introduction. |
|
Here is a sampling of some of the Courtauld's incredible collection. The accompanying information has been collected from gallery plaques next to each painting. |
|
Edouard Manet, 1832-1883 Banks of the Seine at Argenteuil, 1874 |
|
British art historian Fran Herrick discusses Manet's A Bar at the Follies Bergere |
Vincent Van Gogh, 1853-1990 Self Portrait with a Bandaged Ear, 1889 |
|
In the place of the dream of a triumphing Van Gogh - Gaugiun partnership, Van Gogh pictures himself alone, introspective, a self portrait with his heavily bandaged ear as if to say, "Now, what's next?" His bright green cloak suggests a forced sense of optimism, evidence of his struggle to get beyond. |
Jessye Bloomfield, arts author, producer and lecturer discusses Van Gogh's Self Portrait with a Bandaged Ear |
|
||
Claude Monet, 1840-1926 Autumn Effect at Argenteuil, 1873 |
Claude Monet, 1840-1926 Antibes, 1888 |
|
|
||
Pierre Auguste Renoir, 1841-1919 La Loge, 1874 |
Monet truly enjoyed a painting excursion he made to the south coast of France in the Spring of 1888. In Antibes, the ever changing weather conditions were problematic, but he persisted in an effort to portray the extraordinary Mediterranean color and the effects of light and wind. He wrote, "What I bring back from here will be sweetness itself, white, pink and blue, all enveloped in magical air." |
|
Pierre Auguste Renoir, 1841-1919 Woman Tying her Shoes, 1918 |
|
|
Edgar Degas, 1834-1917 Two Dancers on Stage, 1874 |
Woman Tying her Shoes was done late in Renoir's career. He had become disillusioned with modern Parisian subjects and preferred painting idealized images of women, often washing or dressing themselves. |
|
for over a year. He painted scenes near his London home, including this view of Lordship Lane Station, Dulwich. The station, now demolished, catered to the growing suburb south of central London. While standing on a footbridge, Pissarro paints the scene of a train departing the station and new row houses behind. Originally, he included a figure of a man mowing the grassy slope, but then decided to paint him out. |
Camille Pissarro, 1830-1903 Lordship Lane Station, Dulwich, 1871 |
|
Camille Pissarro, 1830-1903 Festival at L'Hermitage, 1876 |
Camille Pissarro, 1830-1903 Boulevard Montmartre Spring Morning, 1897 |
on the outskirts of town, filled with temporary tented stalls as if for an art fair. The finely dressed figures among the crowd suggests these are visitors from Paris. |
The Courtauld Gallery has many paintings by Georges Seurat. |
Georges Seurat, 1859-1891 Study for Le Chahut, 1889 |
|
Georges Seurat, 1859-1891 The Bridge at Courbevoie, 1886 |
The mood in this painting is unusually sombre and silent. The figures seem disembodied, adding to a sense of melancholy. |
|
|
Paul Cezanne, 1839-1906 Man with a Pipe, 1892 |
|
The Card Players was a subject which intrigued Cezanne in the Fall of 1890 when he completed five such paintings. He used farm workers from his estate at the Jas de Bouffan in the South of France to serve as models. |
Paul Cezanne, 1839-1906 The Card Players, 1892 |
|
Paul Gauguin, 1848-1903 The Haystacks, 1889 |
|
|
Paul Gauguin, 1848-1903 Te Rerioa (The Dream) , 1897 |
costumes provided by peasant workers, providing what he thought to be "a wildness and primitiveness." |
|
Paul Gauguin, 1848-1903 Nevermore, 1897 |
||
Te Rerioa (the Dream) was painted during Gauguin's second trip to Tahiti. The two women watch over a sleeping child in a room decorated elaborately with wood reliefs. The women are not interacting in any way, adding a sense of mystery. Gauguin meant the subject to be unclear, like a dream. He wrote, "Everything is a dream in this canvas; is it the child? is it the mother" is it the horseman on the path? or is it the dream of the painter!!!" |
||
|
Chaim Soutine, 1893-1943 Young Woman in a White Blouse, 1923 |
Nevermore is most interesting. In the background are two women and a bird (raven) who seem to be conspiring against the reclining woman. She lies awake, aware she is being watched. The title evokes Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven, in which the poet, driven mad by the loss of his love, has a raven repeating endlessly, "Nevermore." Gauguin is suggesting the loss of innocence in this painting. By the time of his second visit, he found Tahiti's society to be corrupted, and not the tropical primitive paradise he had imagined. |
Lucian Freud was a British figurative artist and was one of the foremost 20th century portraitists. Girl with Roses is one of Lucian Freud's most important early works. He is known to have worked from "maximum observation" of his subjects. His linear precision and thin washes of color give this painting focus and clarity. The model is Kitty Garman, whom Freud married in 1948. Freud pictures her as being disquieted, with a sense of nervous energy. She seems on edge with widened eyes as she grips the prickly rose. |
