  • Poplars and Willows: Trees for Society and the Environment / Edited by J.G
    Poplars and Willows Trees for Society and the Environment This volume is respectfully dedicated to the memory of Victor Steenackers. Vic, as he was known to his friends, was born in Weelde, Belgium, in 1928. His life was devoted to his family – his wife, Joanna, his 9 children and his 23 grandchildren. His career was devoted to the study and improve- ment of poplars, particularly through poplar breeding. As Director of the Poplar Research Institute at Geraardsbergen, Belgium, he pursued a lifelong scientific interest in poplars and encouraged others to share his passion. As a member of the Executive Committee of the International Poplar Commission for many years, and as its Chair from 1988 to 2000, he was a much-loved mentor and powerful advocate, spreading scientific knowledge of poplars and willows worldwide throughout the many member countries of the IPC. This book is in many ways part of the legacy of Vic Steenackers, many of its contributing authors having learned from his guidance and dedication. Vic Steenackers passed away at Aalst, Belgium, in August 2010, but his work is carried on by others, including mem- bers of his family.

Seitz Museumof MotfwnArt ARCHIVE Claude Monet was the purest and most characteristic master of Impressionism. The fundamental principle of his art was a new, wholly perceptual observation of the most fleeting aspects of nature — of moving clouds and water, sun and shadow, rain and snow, mist and fog, dawn and sunset. Over a period of almost seventy years, from the late 1850s to his death in 1926, Monet must have pro duced close to 3,000 paintings, the vast majority of which were landscapes, seascapes, and river scenes. As his involvement with nature became more com plete, he turned from general representations of season and light to paint more specific, momentary, and transitory effects of weather and atmosphere. Late in the seventies he began to repeat his subjects at different seasons of the year or moments of the day, and in the nineties this became a regular procedure that resulted in his well-known "series " — Haystacks, Poplars, Cathedrals, Views of the Thames, Water ERRATA Lilies, etc.

  • Lasting Impressions
    The Movement The ideas of Impressionism can be traced to the 1860s when Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and others pursued “en plein air” (painting in open air) together. John Rand’s radical invention of paint tubes allowed such a move. New bright, synthetic colors opened a new world for the painters. In 1874, an expanded group of these painters took the art world by storm. Ignoring the Académie des Beaux-Arts’ Salon de Paris, (the official exhibition and influencer of the art world), this ragtag bunch pooled their money and their works, rented a studio, and set a date. Calling themselves the Anonymous Society of Painters, Sculptors, and Printmakers, they opened against the annual Salon in May 1874. The art world, and our world, was forever changed. Originally a pejorative term, Impressionism shook the art world to its roots. Critics said the works seemed unfinished and were just “impressions.” What they did not understand was that cameras could now capture realism and the artist was freed to show us their own piercing perceptions. Impressionism is considered the first modern movement in painting. Over time, this style became widely accepted— even by the Salon—as the way to present modern life. Loose brushwork of unblended primary colors, short brushstrokes that often only outline that which they represent, and always, the impact of the light. Never simply black and white, shadows are rendered in highlights of color. Impressionists strove to depict a specific moment in time by capturing atmospheric conditions— moving clouds, a ray of sun, a sudden fall of rain.

  • Water Lilies
    Ann Temkin and Nora Lawrence CLAUDE MONET water lilies The Museum of Modern Art NEW YORK Historical Note Claude Monet rented a house in Giverny, France, in 1883, purchasing its property in 1890. In 1893 he bought an additional plot of land, across a road and a set of railroad tracks from his house, and there embarked on plans to transform an existing small pond into a magnificent water garden, filled with imported lilies and spanned by a Japanese-style wooden bridge (fig. 1). This garden setting may well signify “nature,” but it was not a purely natural site. Monet lavished an extraordinary amount of time and money on the upkeep and eventual expansion of the pond and the surrounding grounds, ultimately employing six gardeners. Itself a cherished work of art, the garden was the subject of many easel-size paintings Monet made at the turn of the new century and during its first fig. 1 HENRI CARTIER-BRESSON decade.

    Oscar Claude Monet (1840 -1917) 19th – 20th century, France Impressionist Painter Oscar Claude Monet “Clow-d Mow-NAY” Impressionist Painter Impressionist Period of Visual Arts B 14 November 1840; Paris, France D 5 December, 1926, Giverny France Claude Monet, like Gainsborough before him, showed early talent for drawing over daily schoolwork. He filled his school notebooks with sketches and caricatures of the local villagers and tourists, and he would sell these for extra pocket money. When he was a teenager, French artist Eugene Boudin (Boo- DEH) vacationed in Monet’s town of La Havre and taught the Monet how to paint with oil paints outside. After a brief detour in the French military in Algeria, Monet, at the behest of his aunt, entered art school. He hated it. Instead, with a few friends, began to experiment with different styles of painting and capturing light on a canvas. Few people wanted to purchase these experiments, but one family, the Hoschedés, loved them and hired Monet to create a number of paintings for their home. This commission was a welcome relief to Monet, who was married with a son by this time. Monet’s painting “Impression: Sunrise” bears the root of the name he and his friends adopted for their style. The name “Impression” was initially an insult coined by art critic Louis Leroy, but later borne by Monet and his friends as their self-described technique: catching an “impression” of a single moment. Financially, things where still rough for Monet and his family. His wife Camille had just given birth to their second son, and still felt weak and ill.
