Art Appreciation Notes of 1 May 2015 Meeting Art Appreciation Notes of 1 May 2015 meeting Subject: John Singer Sargent Present: Bill Mercer, Heather Paul, Jacqueline Woodford, Joan Connell, Julia Jacklin, Kathleen Platts, Marylyn Day, Maureen Sleigh, Pat Phillips, Patricia Berrey, Tina Brown, Carol Iles, Peter Bowtell Apologies: Maureen Cotton, Maureen Craft, Pam Gower Slide Notes 1 John Singer Sargent 12 January 1856 – 14 April 1925 A brief review of the National Portrait Gallery Exhibition, Sargent: Portraits of Artists and Friends, Feb – May 2015 Brief History of the Artist: Sargent’s father Fitzwilliam, an eye surgeon in Philadelphia, USA from 1844-54 John’s sister died when two. John’s mother Mary suffered a breakdown as a result. The couple decided to go to Europe to recuperate. They travelled all over France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy John was born in Florence, Italy The family lived modestly on savings and inheritance. They tended to avoid society specially American ones 2 Childhood: John was a boisterous child with more interest in outdoor activities than his studies. His father wrote home "He is quite a close observer of animated nature. “ He received no formal schooling. His interests in painting may have been derived from his mother who was an amateur artist and father who was an accomplished medical illustrator. In his youth he copied images from “The Illustrated London News” of ships and made detailed sketches of landscapes. When 13, his mother was quoted to say he "sketches quite nicely, & has a remarkably quick and correct eye. If we could afford to give him really good lessons, he would soon be quite a little artist.“ At the age of 13, he learnt to use watercolours from Carl Welsch, a German landscape painter. He became highly literate and cosmopolitan young man, accomplished in art, music, and literature. He was fluent in French, Italian, and German. 3 http://goo.gl/KR687J An Out-of-Doors Study depicting Paul César Helleu sketching with his wife Alice Guérin, 1889, Brooklyn Museum Artistic Development: In 1874 he passed the rigorous exam and gained an admission to the École des Beaux-Arts, Paris Studied with Carolus-Duran, a young French Portrait artist. His method was to paint alla prima (meaning first attempt) i.e. directly on the canvas with a loaded brush, a method attributed to Diego Velázquez. Whilst in Paris, he came across American artists working abroad and made friend with landscape artist Paul César Helleu. He had an opportunity to meet other artists like Degas, Rodin, Monet, and Whistler. His early interest was in landscape paintings but Carolus-Duran’s influence prevailed. At that time portrait painting was considered easier to promote your career, exhibit at salons and earn good money from rich patrons. 4 http://goo.gl/K4eMWh Portrait Painting: His first Portrait - Frances Sherborne Ridley Watts (Fanny Watts), 1877, Philadelphia Museum of Art – not in the exhibition 5 http://goo.gl/3XCNko Exhibition Paintings: The following slides show some of the portraits on display at the Gallery. The first one to greet you is this one of the artist’s teacher, Carolus-Duran. He sat for this portrait in 1879 and it was exhibited at the Paris Salon and was well received. 6 http://goo.gl/q40S1d Louis de Fourcard, 1884, Musée d'Orsay, Paris Professor of arts at École des Beaux-Arts, an art critic, historian, poet, musician, and musicologist.

Pailleron was a bohemian writer, shown here holding a dog-eared book in his right hand to indicate his profession. 8 http://goo.gl/PTkIFd Madame Marie Édouard Pailleron 1879, The Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington DC Commissioned after her husband’s portrait. Sargent has given the subject en plein air. Exhibited at Salon in 1880 rather than of her husband. 9 http://goo.gl/lVjjBM Edouard and Marie Louise Pailleron 1881, Des Moines Art Center (United States) Children of Edouard & Marie Pailleron. Sargent’s first double portrait. Note exotic Persian carpet, Marie-Louise’s torque bracelet and brooch, her white dress, looking pale while her brother guarded and serious. It took 83 sittings to complete this portrait according to the diary of one of the children. 10 http://goo.gl/cf7IJk Dr Pozzi at Home 1881, Armand Hammer Museum of Art and Cultural Centre, Los Angeles, USA Samuel-Jean Pozzi – French gynaecolgist.

Sargent association with Flameng is little known but he was a close friend of Paul. Composition is odd, Flameng is looking at us whilst Paul is in profile, and probably an idea from Hal’s painting of Banquet of Officers… we studied earlier. 16 http://goo.gl/uUnr3m Auguste Rodin 1884, Musée Rodin, Paris In 1884, Sargent and Rodin were invited to the Salon des Vingt in Brussels to exhibit their works and they became friends. That same year, the painter executed this portrait of Rodin.

  • Nu Allongé SOLD REF:- 130642 Artist: ALBERT GUSTAVUS DE BELLEROCHE
    Nu allongé SOLD REF:- 130642 Artist: ALBERT GUSTAVUS DE BELLEROCHE Height: 116.84 cm (46") Width: 137.16 cm (54") Framed Height: 142.24 cm (56") Framed Width: 167.64 cm (66") 1 https://johnbennettfinepaintings.com/nu-allonge 01/10/2021 Short Description Nu allongé Albert de Belleroche was born in Swansea on 22nd October 1864 although he was of French Huguenot descent and inherited his father’s title on the latter’s death. His artistic career saw him produce paintings of portraits, still-life and landscapes as well as being a lithographer. He undertook his artistic training in Paris under the instruction of the painter and sculptor Emile Auguste Carolus-Duran and exhibited his first work, a self portrait, at the Paris Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in 1887. He remained in Paris until his marriage in 1911 and at one time shared a studio there with John Singer Sargent with whom he was very friendly. Other influential people from the art and literary world whom he could call friends included Renoir, Emile Zola, Oscar Wilde and Toulouse-Lautrec. In fact, one of the latter’s models, Lilli, became de Belleroche’s lover for over ten years and when Albert eventually married Julie Visseaux, who was seventeen years his junior, the reason that the newly weds left Paris was because Lilli threatened to destroy their marriage. Until that situation arose however, he continued to exhibit at Parisian institutions until 1932, living and working at addresses in Rue d’Amsterdam and Rue de Bruxelles. Exhibition venues also included Le Salon des Artistes Français – where he received an honourable mention in 1890 – Le Salon des Indépendants and Le Salon d’Automne.

Southwell Leaves April/May 2021 Return of Public Worship in the Minster t a time of rapid change it is not possible to give full details of services A beyond Easter Day. However, people have now been welcomed back into the Minster building for public worship and prayer. The Eucharist at 1.15pm has resumed on each weekday, and there are three services each Sunday: the 8.00am service of Holy Communion from the Book of Common Prayer, the Cathedral Eucharist at 10.00am, and Evensong at 3.30pm. Congregational numbers are limited, so for the 10.00am and 3.30pm services on Sundays and for special services such as the major Holy Week liturgies, it is necessary to book via our online booking system, or by phone. At the time of going to press, choirs are unable to sing in front of a congregation, though professional choirs like ours may rehearse, record, or stream from behind closed doors. While we hope this situation will change before too long, there is no guarantee of this. Details of Holy Week and Easter services are on page 3. Live-streaming of services in the Minster is beginning on Palm Sunday. It is hoped hope that this will enable a greater range of services to be broadcast online, and will also allow those joining from home to participate in the same act of worship experienced by those in the Minster.

  • British Paintings & Works on Paper 1890–1990
    British Paintings & Works on Paper 1890–1990 LISS FINE ART TWENTIETH-CENTURY MYTHS Twentieth-century British art is too often presented as a stylistic progression. top right In fact, throughout the century, a richness and diversity of styles co-existed. Albert de Belleroche, Head of This catalogue is presented in chronological order and highlights both some a woman – three quarter profile, late 1890s (cat. 62) extraordinary individual pictures and the interdependent nature of the artistic ground from which they flowered. bottom right Michael Canney, Sidefold V, Abstraction may well have been the great twentieth century art invention, yet 1985 (cat. 57) most of its leading artists were fed by both the figurative and abstract traditions and the discourse between them. Sir Thomas Monnington,the first President of the Royal Academy to make abstract paintings, acknowledged the importance of this debate, when he declared,‘You cannot be a revolutionary and kick against the rules unless you learn first what you are kicking against. Some modern art is good, some bad, some indifferent. It might be common, refined or intelligent.You can apply the same judgements to it as you can to traditional works’.1 Many of the artists featured in this catalogue – Monnington, Jas Wood, Banting, Colquhoun, Stephenson, Medley, Rowntree,Vaughan, Canney and Nockolds – moved freely between figurative and abstract art. It was part of their journey. In their ambitious exploration to find a pure art that went beyond reality, they often stopped, or hesitated, and in many cases returned to figurative painting. Artists such as Bush, Knights, Kelly and Cundall remained throughout their lives purely figurative.Their best work, however, is underpinned by an economy of design, which not only verges on the abstract, but was fed by the compositional purity developed by the pursuit of abstraction.

    ORANGE Orange is a Provencal city with 30 000 inhabitants, located in the Rhône Valley and close to the famous vineyards of Chateauneuf du Pape. The city of Orange is ideally located, having a direct access to the highway A7 Lyon-Marseille and highway A9 Orange-Barcelona. It is also a commercial crossroad, developed at the creation of the Roman Empire. As a matter of fact, the “Via Agrippa” linking “Lugdunum” to “Arelate” crossed the roman city of Arausio. The national road 7 linking Paris to Menton partly follows the old pattern of the “Via Agrippa”, making Orange an essential step on the way to holi- days! Orange is a city full of surprises and experiences especially appreciated by visitors; it contains two monuments classified “world heritage site”. Come and see the Roman Theatre of Orange, a unique architectural masterpiece. You will also discover a generous Terroir, quality products and a welcoming population. The city of Princes offers an experience through time and culture. Discover the beauty of the historical center, its rich architecture and past. Orange heritage pro- vides the background to a host of activities and leaves space for the bustle of modern life. Through its shady squares and history-soaked streets, there is a mellow life-style waiting to be enjoyed. Orange should be savored, like the Cotes du Rhone wines our terroirs produce.

  • Press Release
    Klimt Press Release CaixaForum Seville From 4 March to 20 August 2017 Press Release A major retrospective devoted to one of our country’s most outstanding Post- Impressionist painters, based on works from the collection conserved by ”la Caixa” During the splendour of modernism, the Spanish artist who enjoyed the greatest international fame was Hermen Anglada-Camarasa (Barcelona, 1871 - Port de Pollença, Majorca, 1959). In his early years, Anglada- Camarasa cultivated a highly-detailed, solid rural realism, but his sojourn in Paris led him to develop a light-filled, highly personal Post- Impressionist style with powerful symbolic resonances. At the start of his career, he endured poverty and hardship, but his fame soon spread around the world. In later periods he found inspiration in the folklore of Valencia, creating a bright, colourful language that won him admiration from the likes of Kandinsky, Meyerhold and Diaghilev. After the First World War, Anglada-Camarasa took refuge in Majorca, an experience which caused another transformation in his style. His last truly creative paintings were made during the Spanish Civil War, and feature the peculiar, rugged geography of Mount Montserrat. The exhibition Anglada- Camarasa. 1871-1959 , presented here for the first time, is formed by 94 works, including several large oils and a large selection from the artist’s lithographic production. Most of these works are from the ”la Caixa” Anglada-Camarasa Collection, and as a rule can only be seen at CaixaForum Palma. Added to them are pieces on loan from the Museum of Fine Arts of Asturias, the Barceló Foundation in Palma, the Library of Catalonia and the private collection of Josep Coll in Valldemossa.

Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) a fait partie des fondateurs et des membres les plus dévoués du groupe impressionniste. Elle était d’ailleurs reconnue à l’époque comme une des artistes les plus novatrices et audacieuses au sein du mouvement. Aujourd’hui, elle reste pourtant moins connue que ses contemporains avant-gardistes. Bien que la popularité des impressionnistes français ait favorisé la prolifération des expositions consacrées à Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Pierre- Auguste Renoir et Camille Pissarro, plus de trente ans se sont écoulés depuis la dernière exposition monographique sur Berthe Morisot aux États-Unis.
