Careful looking and close reading slow down our frenetic pace and encourage creative thought. I have found few things more rewarding than spending an unbroken hour in front of one of Claude Monet’s magnificent canvases. Experiencing Monet through the eyes and words of two of his staunchest critical supporters Gustave Geffroy and Octave Mirbeau has enriched my understanding of his paintings in ways I never could have imagined. I would have lacked the means to complete a project of this nature without the following magnanimous individuals and institutions. The libraries and the remarkable people who keep them running at the University of Texas at Austin deserve a great deal of credit for my ability to research and write this dissertation.

  • The-Art-Market-In-2019.Pdf
    Methodology The Art Market analysis presented in this report is based on results of Fine Art auctions that occu- red between 1st January and 31st December 2019, listed by Artprice and Artron. For the purposes of this report, Fine Art means paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, prints, videos, instal- lations, tapestries, but excludes antiques, anonymous cultural goods and furniture. All the prices in this report indicate auction results – including buyer’s premium. The $ sign refers to the US dollar and the ¥ sign refers to the Chinese yuan. The exchange rate used to convert AMMA sales results in China is an average annual rate. Any reference to “Western Art” or “the West” refers to the global art market, minus China. Chinese Art is divided into two main categories: • “Chinese Painting and Calligraphy” indicates traditional Chinese art such as works in ink on a variety of substrates including Xuan paper, silk and fans. “Chinese calligraphy” is focused on lettering, words, poems and wishes, whereas “Chinese painting” represents landscapes, people, birds and flowers. • “Oil painting and Contemporary art” indicates artworks created by Chinese artists who appropriated Western techniques and artistic media (oil painting, photography, sculpture, installation, drawing in pencil, gouache, watercolors, etc.) after an oil on canvas was pres- ented in China for the first time in 1579. Regarding the Western Art market, the following historical segmentation of “creative period” has been used: • “Old Masters” refers to works by artists born before 1760. • “19th century” refers to works by artists born between 1760 and 1860. • “Modern art” refers to works by artists born between 1860 and 1920.

Pissarro et M^^® Morisot ont pro- fité des conseils de Corot, Renoir a peint un moment sous l'influence de Courbet, Cézanne a emprunté à Courbet, au début, sa tonalité et sa palette. Si l'on pouvait rassembler les toutes premières œuvres des hommes qui sont devenus les Impressionnistes, on verrait, avec des différences individuelles pointant déjà, un fond commun d'une même gamme, allant des procédés de Courbet à ceux de Corot. C'est alors que Manet survint. 1 Rien n'est plus difficile, quand des formes d'art ou des modes de penser ont obtenu le succès, que de se représenter la répulsion qu'ils ont d'abord pu causer.

  • RCEWA – Le Palais Ducal by Claude Monet Statement of the Expert Adviser to the Secretary of State That the Painting Meets Wave
    RCEWA – Le Palais Ducal by Claude Monet Statement of the Expert Adviser to the Secretary of State that the painting meets Waverley criteria two and three. Further Information The ‘Applicant’s statement’ and the ‘Note of Case History’ are available on the Arts Council Website: www.artscouncil.org.uk/reviewing-committee-case-hearings Please note that images and appendices referenced are not reproduced. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Claude Monet (1840-1926) Le Palais Ducal, 1908 Oil on canvas 81 x 93 cm Claude Monet painted Le Palais Ducal during and after his visit to Venice in 1908. It shows the sun-lit Doges’ Palace with its reflection in the water reaching down the height of the canvas. As opposed to the campaigns of painting previously undertaken in London, Monet was seeking a rest from work on the water lily paintings and took the chance of a holiday with his wife Alice who chronicled the stay through daily letters home. While in Venice Monet began to paint and anticipated a second visit to follow in 1909, but the deterioration of Alice Monet’s health prevented the couple’s return. As with other campaigns, Monet anticipated that related works would be shown together although he was eventually to declare that ‘there was not a series among the views’. The Venetian paintings are, indeed, distinguished by a wider range of motifs and a smaller number of completed canvases than had been established with previous series. Both are attributable to Monet scouting for promising subjects as he extended his stay and which he imagined pursuing on a later visit.

  • Claude Monet (1840 – 1926)
    communiqué Claude Monet (1840 – 1926) 22 septembre 2010 – 24 janvier 2011 Galeries nationales, Grand Palais entrée Champs-Elysées www.monet2010.com #expomonet Cette exposition est organisée par la Réunion des musées nationaux et le musée d’Orsay, Paris. Elle est placée sous le haut patronage de Monsieur Nicolas Sarkozy, Président de la République française. Cette exposition est réalisée grâce au mécénat exclusif de Natixis. Pendant plus de soixante ans, Claude Monet a peint sans relâche, élaborant une œuvre qui incarne l’expression la plus pure de l’impressionnisme, pour constituer au début du XX e siècle un des fondements de l’art moderne. C’est l’ensemble de ce parcours riche et fécond que l’exposition des Galeries nationales réinterroge. Cette exposition monographique est la plus importante manifestation dédiée à l'artiste depuis près de trente ans, lorsque s'était tenue aux Galeries nationales en 1980 une rétrospective en forme d'hommage. Depuis, les recherches sur l'artiste se sont multipliées et ont mis en lumière des aspects moins connus de son œuvre. Orchestrée selon des grands axes thématiques et chronologiques, l'exposition retrace la carrière de Monet, des débuts des années 1860 jusqu'aux ultimes tableaux liés au cycle des Nymphéas du musée de l'Orangerie. Le jeune artiste choisit des sujets assez traditionnels, forêt et plage. Dans la Normandie de son enfance où Boudin puis Jongkind l’avaient initié à la peinture de plein air, il exécute des marines mais aussi des « effets de neige ». Puis à Paris et en banlieue, avec un accent particulier porté sur Argenteuil, dans les années 1870, ses paysages lumineux et colorés des bords de Seine reflètent le plein épanouissement de l’impressionnisme.
