1 a History of European Painting 2019-20. Draft Programme in This A History of European Painting 2019-20. Draft Programme In this academic year, I want to continue our overview of the major European art movements in painting from around 1400 - but please remember, as last year, that the selection of artists and their works is inevitably personal and arbitrary. Again, there will be two groups – meeting on either the first Monday or first/second Tuesday each month. The Monday & Tuesday groups will cover the same sessions but on alternate months, and all members are welcome to attend the alternate meeting if this avoids missing any session. You will understand that planning a year ahead has to be provisional – life may intervene - but I promise to give the maximum notice possible if I need to make any changes. This year a number of people have found the notes useful and I will try to circulate some a week or so before each meeting. And again, I would welcome any contributions and ideas for our sessions that anyone would like to make. The list is provisional. Five sessions 1874 – 1940 11.

[1] In reaction to the traditional establishment, constituted especially by the École des Beaux-Arts, the Paris Salon, and the styles and techniques they promulgated, Toulouse-Lautrec cultivated his own approach to painting, while also pioneering new methods in lithography and the art of the poster. He explored popular, even vulgar subject matter, while collaborating with vanguard artists, writers, and stars of Bohemian Paris. Despite his artistic innovations, he remains an enigmatic and somewhat liminal figure in the history of French modern art.

  • Renoir, Impressionism, and Full-Length Painting
    FIRST COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF RENOIR’S FULL-LENGTH CANVASES BRINGS TOGETHER ICONIC WORKS FROM EUROPE AND THE U.S. FOR AN EXCLUSIVE NEW YORK CITY EXHIBITION RENOIR, IMPRESSIONISM, AND FULL-LENGTH PAINTING February 7 through May 13, 2012 This winter and spring The Frick Collection presents an exhibition of nine iconic Impressionist paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, offering the first comprehensive study of the artist’s engagement with the full-length format. Its use was associated with the official Paris Salon from the mid-1870s to mid- 1880s, the decade that saw the emergence of a fully fledged Impressionist aesthetic. The project was inspired by Renoir’s La Promenade of 1875–76, the most significant Impressionist work in the Frick’s permanent collection. Intended for public display, the vertical grand-scale canvases in the exhibition are among the artist’s most daring and ambitious presentations of contemporary subjects and are today considered masterpieces of Impressionism. The show and accompanying catalogue draw on contemporary criticism, literature, and archival documents to explore the motivation behind Renoir’s full-length figure paintings as well as their reception by critics, peers, and the public. Recently-undertaken technical studies of the canvases will also shed new light on the artist’s working methods. Works on loan from international institutions are La Parisienne from Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1919), Dance at Bougival, 1883, oil on canvas, 71 5/8 x 38 5/8 inches, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Picture Fund; photo: © 2012 Museum the National Museum Wales, Cardiff; The Umbrellas (Les Parapluies) from The of Fine Arts, Boston National Gallery, London (first time since 1886 on view in the United States); and Dance in the City and Dance in the Country from the Musée d’Orsay, Paris.

L’enjeu n’est pas de proposer une rétrospective, ni une A exposition sur une thématique ciblée mais de développer une vision critique de la perception de Renoir, aussi bien de l’homme que de son œuvre. Renoir est une figure intournable de l’histoire de l’art dont les œuvres sont visibles dans les plus grands musées du monde et autour duquel s’est construite une véritable mythologie nourrie par l’artiste lui-même, ses contemporains, sa famille... L’exposition se composera de sections thématiques sur des sujets moins habituels de son œuvre (les portraits masculins, l’importance d’Essoyes dans sa vie et dans son œuvre avec les figures d’Aline Charigot et Gabrielle Renard, le thème de la femme au travail et de la femme idéalisée, les nature mortes et Renoir collectionné par Pablo Picasso). Ce projet bénéficie de prêts des musées d’Orsay et de l’Orangerie et d’autres institutions muséales françaises.

Si Suzanne Valadon est morte en 1938 et son mari, André Utter, dix années plus tard, son fils Utrillo est toujours vivant. Pendant plus de vingt ans, la tribu Valadon a vécu sur la Butte « dans une ambiance de roman russe ». Exubérante, elle s'y est fait connaître par des explosions passionnelles qui ont souvent ébranlé la vieille rue Cortot jusqu'en pleine nuit. Et ce n'est pas le fils, Utrillo, qui pouvait mettre de la sérénité dans le ménage : il allait au contraire porter le scandale dans la rue, pourchassant les passants, brisant les avertisseurs d'incendie, vociférant ou s'écroulant dans une crise. Un tel vacarme serait aujourd'hui difficilement toléré. Mais rue Cortot, en ce temps-là, c'était naturel, nous assure M. Galanis, maintenant membre de l'Institut, qui, des années durant, fut aux premières loges pour voir et entendre le trio. En dépit de ces déchaînements, des distractions brutales qu'ils lui apportaient, Suzanne Valadon a pu créer des chefs- d'œuvre et s'est imposée à l'attention des connaisseurs.

  • Impressionism
    IMPRESSIONISM Eugène Boudin (1824 – 1898) was one of the first French landscape painters to paint outdoors. Boudin was a marine painter, and expert in the rendering of all that goes upon the sea and along its shores. His pastels, summary and economic, garnered the splendid eulogy of Baudelaire; and Corot called him the "king of the skies.” He opened a small picture framing shop in Le Havre and exhibited artists working in the area, such as Jean-François Millet, and Thomas Couture who encouraged young Boudin to follow an artistic career. Boudin, The Beach at Villerville 1864 In 1857/58 Boudin befriended the young Claude Monet, then only 18, and persuaded him to give up his teenage caricature drawings and to become a landscape painter, instilling in the younger painter a love of bright hues and the play of light on water later evident in Monet's Impressionist paintings. They remained lifelong friends and Boudin joined Monet and his young friends in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1873. Boudin, Sailboats at Trouville 1884 Johan Jongkind (1819 – 1891) was a Dutch painter and printmaker. He painted marine landscapes in a free manner and is regarded as a forerunner of Impressionism, introducing the painting of genre scenes from the tradition of the Dutch Golden Age. From 1846 he moved to Paris, to further his studies. Two years later, he had work accepted for the Paris Salon, receiving acclaim from critic Charles Baudelaire and later on from Émile Zola. Returning to Rotterdam in1865 he moved back to Paris in1861, where he rented a studio Jongkind, in Montparnasse, the following year meeting in View from the Quai d'Orsay 1854 Honfleur Sisley, Boudin and the young Monet.

  • (At the Cirque Fernando) by Henri Toulouse-Lautrec
    Equestrienne (At the Circus Fernando) 1887–1888 By Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO Department of Museum Education Division of Teacher Programs Crown Family Educator Resource Center Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec enjoyed breaking the rules. When Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec he came across an idea that interested him, he tried it—re- gardless of whether it was acceptable or not. Toulouse-Lautrec loved life and took inspiration from everything he came across. As a young man, he became interested in the circus and in Equestrienne (At the circus performers, and when a fellow artist showed him how to look at subjects as if they were cut off or “cropped” like a Circus Fernando) photograph, he took up that idea as well.1 Painted when he was only 24 years old, Equestrienne (At the Circus Fernando) 1887-1888 became one of his most well-known works. Oil on Canvas, 100.3 x 161.3 cm (39.5" x63.5") Toulouse-Lautrec: Childhood and Training As his name implies, Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse- Joseph Winterbotham Collection, 1925.523 Lautrec-Montfa was born into a wealthy family on November 24, 1864. As a young child, his parents were aware that his physical development was not normal as he often was ill, his leg bones broke easily, his speech was unclear, and he didn’t grow taller as he aged. Discussing Toulouse-Lautrec’s condition in 1994, biographer Julia Frey calls it congenital (something he was essentially born with) and states, “Although posthumous diagnosis is always risky, experts on endocrine disorders say that Henry was probably suffering from a genetic mishap which caused fragility at the growth end of the bones, hindering normal bone development and causing pain, deformation and weakness in the skeletal structure.”2 She adds, “As he entered adolescence, Henry’s long bones began to atrophy at the joints where the adolescent growth spurt would typically manifest itself.”3 His cousins also showed such symptoms, making this a genetic defect within the family.
