MARINO MARINI. IG POST
It's Flashback Friday! Enjoy this fur-midable painting by Picasso "Femme et Chien Jouant, fond bleu (Francoise Gilot)" (Woman and Dog Playing, blue background (Francoise Gilot)) 1953, which was featured at the Peggy Guggenheim in Venice in 2018 for the exhibition "Marino Marini - Visual Passions".
...
"Marino Marini. Visual Passions" was the first retrospective dedicated to Marino Marini (1901 â 1980) and was intended to contextualize Mariniâs work in a broader art historical context. It allowed for an intensive dialogue between Mariniâs sculptures and those from the Italian plastic tradition which interested the artist such as the great masters of the 20th century and important examples of the sculptural tradition from past centuries: Egyptian, ancient Greek and Etruscan antiquities, Medieval, Renaissance and 19th-century sculpture.
Rouen 2
Now on view Henri de Toulouse Lautrec "La Toilette: Madame Fabre" (Femme se faisant les mains), 1891 for the the exhibition "François Depeaux, Collectionneurs des Impressionnistes" on view through 15 November at the Musée des Beaux Arts de Rouen.
...
The inspiration for Lautrec's treatment of the subject of women at their 'toilette' came from his mentor Edgar Degas, who has depicted this theme many times.
This painting is not merely a portrait but a complex study of a woman making herself ready for the day, surrounded by all the objects she needs to achieve this. Every detail is organized to suggest the casual disorder of real life.

...
In the present work "Le pont de Moret et les moulins - effet d'hiver", 1890, Sisley has utilized the sweeping bridge and the conteracting flow of the river to create a wonderfully vibrant composition that suggests the bustle of the small market town. The freshness of open air and the crisp feeling of a winter day are rendered in cool white tones, and the water in quick brush-strokes of steely blues and greens.

On this hot Summer day đ we're sharing Giorgio de Chirico's radiant painting "Sole su Cavaletto", 1968. This work was featured in the exhibition "Hot Sun, Late Sun. Modernism Untamed" at Fondation Vincent Van Gogh Fondation Vincent van Gogh Arles in Summer 2018. Here's a little recap:
...
This thematic exhibition pursued a free exploration of the sun, understood as a metaphor that connects each artistsâ respective relationships on the one hand with the Mediterranean region, home to experimentation, and on the other with Modernism and Postmodernism. It brings together paintings by Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, and Alexander Calder, as well as works by Etel Adnan, Giorgio de Chirico, Adolphe Monticelli, Sigmar Polke, Germaine Richier, Joan Mitchell and the musician Sun Ra.

Dali lobster video color corrected
Sharing these fun Saturday vibes with Salvador DalĂ! đŠ
In "Persistence of Memory: A Personal Biography of Salvador DalĂ", Amanda Lear recounts another reason DalĂ loved using lobsters as a symbol in many of his works. According to DalĂ, âthe skeleton is of the utmost importance. It is always the structure, which matters and is all that remains after death. Unlike humans, they carry their skeletons on the outside and their flesh on the insideâ. The contradictory anatomical nature of lobsters when compared to humans further exemplifies DalĂâs infatuation with using lobsters as a surrealistic symbol whether as a form of material culture or performance art.
#4658_Chagall_Danseuse au double profil vert_1978_2
âI was born, one might say, between heaven and earth, that the world is for me a great desert in which my soul wanders like a torch, I did these paintings in unison with this distant dreamâ (quoted in 'Chagall: A Retrospective', MoMA, 1995).
Happy Birthday to Marc Chagall!âš
.
Marc Chagall (1887-1985) was one of the greatest painters of the 20th century, creating unique worlds of sumptuous colors and a dream-like imagery.
Working during the "golden age" of Paris, Chagallâs aesthetic seized and synthesized elements of Fauvism, Symbolism, Russian Folk Art and traditional Jewish art and defied classification. Henri Miller referred to him as a âpoet with the wings of a painterâ.
.
In "Danseuse au double profil vert", the everyday is imbued with magic. This romantic and atmospheric composition features Chagallâs recurring motifs such as the floating character in radiant fuchsia light, a large rooster and the backdrop of an eastern European village, Chagallâs native Vitebsk. His late works, conceived as a return to his early canvases, celebrated lifeâs simple pleasures. Painted in 1978 Chagall breathed life into this work which stands as a glowing example of his oeuvre.

Kandinsky making a drawing in 1926.
âMust we not then renounce the object altogether, throw it to the winds and instead lay bare the purely abstract?â (Wasily Kandinsky, "Concerning the Spiritual in Art", 1911).
...
Kandinsky (1866-1944), one of the pioneers of abstraction, believed that art could express the ineffable to convey feelings or thoughts that surpass language. His impulse to renounce representing the material world generated from his desire to access the inner essence of things.
.
He believed that colors and forms, like music, could open our perception to a higher degree of reality beyond reason. This video reveals how Kandinsky liberated the line, no longer used as a descriptive means to evoke forms, but instead as pure expression.

Montroig, le pont, 1917 (JM5517) 1 copy
Happy birthday to Joan MirĂł!
...
"Mont-Roig, le pont" is one of an exceptional group of landscape paintings MirĂł made in the Summer of 1917 in the Catalonian landscape around his family home in Montroig. It was in these works that MirĂł first began to 'synthesize' his perception of the landscape whith his deep rooted spiritual feeling for it through the use of exaggerated and vaguely abstract form and intensified colour.
.
Drawing stylistically on the combined influence of Fauvism and Cubism and fusing them into a unique formal language, MirĂł attempted in these works to commune with the landscape and to render it as personal vision of his inner experience. Mont-roig, le pont depicts the winding tracks of the dry river-bed as it winds under the bridge and through the harsh but vital summer landscape of Montroig.
