This charming print of a woman with a parrot perched on her shoulder is by American artist Mary Cassatt, one of only three women (along with Berthe Morisot and Marie Bracquemond) to exhibit with the Impressionists ✨

Cassatt first moved to Paris in 1865 and in 1877 struck up a friendship with Edgar Degas; at his invitation, she joined the Impressionist group, first exhibiting with them in 1879.

Her career as a printmaker spans around 30 years and some 250 prints; here, in a recent acquisition for The Courtauld, her bold and skillful use of drypoint is in evidence, with delicate details on light blue paper 💙

Today we have city breaks, but in the 18th century it was all about the Grand Tour 🧳

Venice became a major destinaion of the 18th century Grand Tour. Its buzzing life along the canals and picturesque cityscape enchanted northern European visitors, who often wished to buy souvenirs to keep the memory of their sojourn alive.

This demand led to the production of little views of the city, like these charming works by Giacomo Guardi ✍️

Their topographical accuracy and vivid colours greatly appealed to British tourists in particular. On the back of his drawings, Guardi often listed the buildings he portrayed, and meticulously recorded his address in the hope of encouraging repeat orders.

Can you recognise any of the famous landmarks?

⏰ See them on display in La Serenissima: Drawing in 18th century Venice, open until 11 Feb 2024
🎟️ Included with Gallery Entry. Friends, under-18s and students go free ✨ courtauld.ac.uk/gallery

During his career, French Impressionist artist Jean Louis Forain was celebrated as a painter, printmaker and draughtsman. He was born in 1852 🎨

With Degas (his lifelong friend and mentor), Forain frequented the Paris Opéra where he observed ballet dancers and their typically middle-aged suitors. In this roughly finished drawing, two men seen from behind and three dancers on stage blend in with their seemingly monumental surroundings 🩰

Forain's rapid ex*****on is evident in the loose, unrefined contours of the figures and in the broad, liberal application of colour he uses throughout.

It's , so dive into the details of Lucas Cranach the Elder's Adam and Eve (1526) 🍎

Adam and Eve are depicted at the fateful moment of temptation as Eve hands the apple to a bewildered Adam, whilst the serpent, entwined in the tree above, looks on. The finely painted menagerie of animals heightens this seductive vision of Paradise.

Cranach and his workshop made over fifty versions of this subject. This panel's high quality and unique iconography suggest it was commissioned by an erudite patron, perhaps a humanist scholar.

See it on display in the Blavatnik Fine Rooms - book your visit now 🎟️

Feeling the autumnal chill 🍂

French painter Lucien Pissarro spent much of his life in England, mostly in London, but later in the village of Coldharbour in Surrey, where this scene was thoughtfully painted.

The rolling hills of Surrey stretch out across Old Mark's Field near Coldharbour, filled with the colours of autumn.

Ahead of the 2023 Royal Institute of British Architects Stirling Prize winner being announced this evening, we are delighted that ‘Courtauld Connects’ has been voted the winner of the 2023 Peoples’ Poll on the RIBA Stirling Prize.

Designed by award-winning architects Witherford Watson Mann, The Courtauld Gallery’s redevelopment has revitalised and opened up the magnificent building conceived by Sir William Chambers in the late 1770s to create an inspiring setting for the 21st century.

As one voter commented: “The changes are both subtle and striking, changing the feel and flow while honoring the history and original footprint. Small spaces feel somehow bigger - and most importantly, the incredible collection truly takes centre stage, as it should.’

Thank you to everyone who voted for Courtauld Connects.

Throughout her career, Claudette Johnson has pioneered the use of drawing on an epic scale, to create depictions of Black women and men that are at once intimate and monumental.

This is one of Claudette Johnson's most enigmatic works. The young man's striking features, beautifully and sensitively shaped in pastel, draws us in and set us wondering about his identity and story. Adrift on a sea of blue, he might be regally posed on a couch or perched on a makeshift bed.

It has its origins in a photograph by the South African photographer Peter Magubane, which inspired Johnson to transform the composition of that image to create this work. The atmosphere of wistful contemplation is matched by the title, taken from Miles Davis's famous jazz album.

Our is Blue's Dance (2023) by Claudette Johnson - which is also one of the collector's edition covers of Harper's Bazaar The Art Issue, November 2023 💙

Blues Dance was made especially for our current exhibition Claudette Johnson: Presence, and reflects the significance of music within Claudette's practice.

The figure of a woman swaying to a beat is inspired by a photograph that Johnson came across. Blues Dance is imbued with her own memories of being part of the Blue Beat reggae dance scene in the 1980s, when dances were often held in people's homes 🎶

Her dress is painted, as Johnson remarks, 'to make the blues move in the work' - it conveys the feeling of a woman being at one with herself, moving to her own beat 🖌️

Keep an eye out at The Courtauld Shop to pick up your own copy!

Paul Cézanne – L’Etang des Soeurs, Osny (c.1875) 🍃

Cézanne painted this view of a footpath running along the banks of a pond while visiting his friend and fellow artist Camille Pissarro in the village of Osny, north of Paris.

The lively and textured surface effect are made by using a palette knife to apply dense layers of paint in broad swathes. See the vibrant clearing on the opposite bank? Cézanne’s use of vivid yellow-green tones at the centre, and the strong diagonal sweeps (a signature technique of the artist), draw our attention away from the shadowed foreground, across the water 🎨

Pierre Bonnard was born in 1867 💐

Bonnard often used his work to experiment with colour and harmonies. This view from Pont Royal in Paris looks towards Pont du Carrousel, one of the earliest cast iron bridges in Paris and a modern innovation when it was unveiled in 1834. The towers and spire of Notre-Dame are also visible in the distance.

Pierre Bonnard had painted this same view almost twenty years earlier, but its treatment here is unconventional. The road in the foreground has been reduced to bands of yellow and pink, and the sky a rich mauve 🍇

The decorative, flat use of colour also suggests Bonnard's admiration for Japanese prints, common with other Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists, including Vincent van Gogh.

This exhibition is the first monographic show of Johnson’s work at a major public gallery in London, and is rooted in the ongoing research, teaching, and activities in the field of Black and Diasporic Art by Dorothy Price, Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art and Critical Race Art History at The Courtauld.

This beautiful seascape is by British artist John Constable. Or... is it? 🤔

It appeared in the sale of Isabel Constable's property as a genuine work by her father, however technical analysis of the paper has now revealed that it dates from the 1840s, at least three years after Constable's death.

It seems most likely to have been made by one of Constable's sons; later documents reveal that Constable's heirs were put under pressure by dealers to certify works in their possession were by their father, even when false.

It's your final chance to explore our display Art and Artifice: Fakes from the Collection, showcasing remarkable forgeries from The Courtauld's collection and telling the stories behind their making and the discovery of their deception 🕵️

The series has never been the subject of a UK exhibition and will realise Monet’s unfulfilled ambition of showing this extraordinary group of paintings in London. A remarkable series of hauntingly beautiful, large-scale charcoal portraits by Frank Auerbach will go on display in the Spring. Produced in post-war London in the 1950s and 1960s, today these works are considered some of Auerbach’s early masterpieces. Next Summer, explore an exhibition of works by acclaimed British photographer Roger Mayne (1929-2014), as well as Henry Moore: Shadows on the Wall (in collaboration with @henrymoorefoundation), and the first exhibition at The Courtauld dedicated to the bold, abstract work of Vanessa Bell.

Went to the Paul Cezanne exhibition Tatemodern yesterday with -paultooth - pictured here underneath a sound and vision installation in the Turbine Hall.

Personally I have always preferred Cezanne’s still lives and landscapes to his portraits and figures - and his landscapes were often among my students‘ favourites to interoret when I taught landscapes among the beautiful impressionist collection at The Courtauld

That said, I like this self portrait of Cezanne at 35 years old, although to our eyes now he looks older. A self portrait allows we artists to project our image into the world - as well as providing us with a free model!

And his portrait of Madame Cezanne and her beautifully rendered dress is stunning.

New to me was Cezanne’s painting of ‘The Murder’. It’s a brutal scene that apparently reflects the late 19th century fascination with acts of violence which newspapers helped to fuel. The curator notes he may have been responding to his friend Émile Zola 1868 novel ‘Therese Raquin’.

His friend and mentor Camille Pissarro helped evolve his painting from dark impasto as in one of the still lives here to work using a lighter, more colourful palette.

Cezanne was at his best painting the objects and places he knew like l’Estaque and Mont Sainte Victoire as he could concentrate on his technique. In his later still lives he used colour rather than light to activate firm on a 2D surface.

Don Quijote y Sancho Panza,de Honoré Daumier. Hermosa pintura The Courtauld

Today's theme for with Art UK is and our pick is "Young Woman Powdering" by 👨‍🎨Georges Seurat 📍The Courtauld

For Cezanne's birthday today, we wanted to share this piece which was created in his signature style. Georges Seurat was a pointillist, using tiny dots of paint to build up an image. It was recently discovered that this painting of Seurat’s mistress Madeleine Knobloch originally included a self-portrait of the artist – he concealed it with the flowers in the top-left corner.

The first exhibition of Impressionists included work by only one woman: Berthe Morisot. She was a central figure of the Impressionist group, and her work was in seven of the eight exhibitions the group organised. The one exhibition she missed was due to illness following the birth of her only child, Julie.

Find out more about Morisot, who was born in 1841: https://artuk.org/discover/stories/four-women-impressionists

Last chance to see!

Our review of the Courtauld Gallery (The Courtauld) exhibition ‘Fuseli and the Modern Woman: Fashion, Fantasy, Fetishism’ is now up on the website!

https://www.thelondonartreview.com/2023/01/FuseliAndtheModernWoman.html

Editor, Francesca Vine explores Henry Fuseli’s relationship with his wife and model Sophia, his subversion of the tropes of ‘wife’ and ‘courtesan’ and how the lasting impact of his work can be found in much later styles.

‘This one-of-a-kind exhibition is a thought-provoking and nuanced insight into the private life of a complicated but brilliant character and an excellent draughtsman.’

On at the Courtauld Gallery until Sunday 8 January.

Why do we test airflow in panels?

Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA) acts like a vacuum, sucking up air from the protected area. Using diagnostic software, VESDA panels test the quality of this air and whether smoke is detected 💨

Testing airflow is key because when it drops, is not as effective and the pipes need to be cleaned.
