It is in these regions and nowhere else that you can admire marvellous Impressionist paintings W while also enjoying the instantaneous emotions that inspired their artists. It was here that the art movement that revolutionised the history of art came into being and blossomed. Enamoured of nature and the advances in modern life, the Impressionists set up their easels in forests and gardens along the rivers Seine and Oise, on the Norman coasts, and in the heart of Paris’s districts where modernity was at its height. These settings and landscapes, which for the most part remain unspoilt, still bear the stamp of the greatest Impressionist artists, their precursors and their heirs: Daubigny, Boudin, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Morisot, Pissarro, Caillebotte, Sisley, Van Gogh, Luce and many others. Today these regions invite you on a series of Impressionist journeys on which to experience many joyous moments. Admire the changing sky and light as you gaze out to sea and recharge your batteries in the cool of a garden. Relive the artistic excitement of Paris and Montmartre and the authenticity of the period’s bohemian culture. Enjoy a certain Impressionist joie de vivre in company: a “déjeuner sur l’herbe” with family, or a glass of wine with friends on the banks of the Oise or at an open-air café on the Seine. Be moved by the beauty of the paintings that fill the museums and enter the private lives of the artists, exploring their gardens and homes-cum-studios.

  • Maurice Utrillo
    L'église Saint-Séverin à Paris, 1925 Öl auf Leinwand Sammlung Im Obersteg, Inv. Im 1561 Depositum im Kunstmuseum Basel Maurice Utrillo Paris 1883–1955 Dax Vielfältige Geschäftsbeziehungen und eine ausgeprägte Affinität zur französischen Kultur führten den Sammler und Unternehmer Karl Im Obersteg wiederholt nach Paris. Seiner Liebe zur französischen Hauptstadt gab er Ausdruck im Ankauf einer Pariser Stadtlandschaft von Maurice Utrillo. Die Wahl fiel auf ein Gemälde, das den Blick in die Rue Boutebrie hin zur Rue Saint- Séverin im Quartier Latin zeigt. Auf der rechten Seite erscheint in der Flucht der Strasse der Westabschluss der gotischen Kirche Saint-Séverin. Der Turm ist in seiner ganzen Höhe sichtbar, das Längsschiff dagegen wird von einem Haus und einem Baum im Vordergrund teilweise verdeckt. Die Kirche fügt sich fast unscheinbar in die Abfolge der Gebäude ein. Utrillo wählt nicht den prominenten Blick auf die Schauseite der Kirche, sondern zeigt uns einen unspektakulären Einzelheiten wie Ladenschilder, Fenstergitter und Fenstervorhänge, Unregel- mässigkeiten eines Bretterzaunes oder Reste einer abgebrochenen Mauer akribisch fest. Sie vermitteln uns eine ausgeprägt kleinstädtische Atmosphäre, die damals viele Teile des Stadtbildes von Paris prägte. Eine Gruppe Menschen, darunter zwei schwarz gekleidete, überspitzt gezeichnete Frauen, scheint dem Eingang der Kirche zuzustreben. Eine vergleichsweise lebhafte Farbigkeit charakterisiert das Gemälde und bildet einen Kontrast zu früheren Werken der „période blanche“. Dieser Gegensatz ist wohl auf die seit den zwanziger Jahren praktizierte Methode des Künstlers, nach farbigen Postkarten zu arbeiten, zurückzuführen. Auch die Belebung der Stadtsujets mit Staffagefiguren wird erst in dieser Schaffenszeit aktuell. Karl Im Obersteg (1883–1969) kaufte das Gemälde 1926, nur ein Jahr nach seiner Entstehung, bei der Galerie Bernheim-Jeune in Paris, als einziges Werk von Maurice Utrillo.

  • Vision of Vincent Van Gogh and Maurice Utrillo
    http://www.ierek.com/press ARChive Online ISSN: 2537-0162 International Journal on: The Academic Research Community Publication The International Conference : Cities’ Identity Through Architecture and Arts (CITAA) Vision of Vincent van Gogh and Maurice Utrillo in Landscape Paintings and their Impact in Establishing the Identity of the Place DOI: 10.21625/archive.v1i1.133 Hala Ibrahim Mohamed Elsaed 1 1Painting Department -Faculty of Fine Arts Keywords Abstract Painting There are varieties of visions, visual solutions and plastic relations for various Landscape painting topics, but the landscape painting is still the closest subject to the identity of Van Gogh the place. Maurice Utrillo When the artist translates the realistic features of the place describing it with his special style and touches, this represents a record for characteristics of a certain period related to this place. It might also depict the landscape by his sense, telling us with his painting brush the story of its heritage. The artist links it with the reality experienced -here the memory adds the highest value to the view and translates features of nature of this place in terms of form- or feelings and influence through the ages. When Van Gogh was influenced by a city, like Arles in France, he produced the most beautiful of his paintings, which appeared to show his style and colors. Actually, we see this city through a creative artist with radiant colors, each panting as a celebration or a poem singing the beauty of this place. And when Maurice Utrillo was influenced by a city -like Paris in France especially Montmartre district with its steep winding streets, picturesque windmills, snowfall, and clouds of gray affected- he created his most important paintings of landscape.

  • A Visit to Paris with Paul Davenport in the Footsteps of the Impressionists
    A Visit to Paris with Paul Davenport In the Footsteps of the Impressionists August 5 – 15, 2019 We spend nine nights in Paris, August 5 to 15, 2019, visiting Impressionist sites in Paris and the suburbs, and exploring other attractions in this extraordinary city. Dr. Paul Davenport was President of Western University from 1994 to 2009. In 2004 he began teaching courses in Continuing Studies at Western and at the University of Toronto entitled In the Footsteps of the Impressionists. Since 2007 he has led student and alumni bike tours in France, in Touraine, the Loire Valley, Provence, and Dordogne. He also leads walking tours of Paris; this will be the fifth. He lives in Tours, France, with his wife Josette. Guests may want to purchase one of the standard guides to Paris, available in bookstores or on amazon.ca and amazon.com. My favorite is Rick Steves’ Paris, which will be provided as part of the trip package. Another good guide is the Michelin Green Guide Paris. Wikipedia has good pages on most of the places we visit.
