Impressionist Interiors

National Gallery of Ireland, May 10 to August 10, 2008
The exhibition brought together over 45 wonderful paintings and drawings by Manet, Monet, Renoir, Morisot, Degas, Cassatt, Gauguin and Pissarro, on loan from public and private collections throughout Europe and the United States of America. It was the first serious survey of this particular dimension of Impressionism, and will show some of the many and varied ways in which Impressionists and artists within their circle engaged with interior spaces both public and private, domestic and social.
Impressionist Interiors featured twelve paintings and pastels by Edgar Degas, among them;





'Portraits in a Cotton Office' (Museum of Fine Arts, Pau),






'The Convalescent' (J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles);





'After the Bath' (Philadelphia Museum of Art) and





'Café Concert at Les Ambassadeurs' (Museum of Fine Arts, Lyon).

There were also some fine examples by Paul Gauguin who often brought the outside world into his symbolist interiors by incorporating details such as floral arrangements or wallpapers decorated with birds and plants. He was represented in this show with






'The Painter's Home, rue Carcel' (National Museum, Oslo),





'Nude Study/ Woman Sewing' (Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen), and





'The Little Dreamer' (Odrupgaard, Copenhagen).
Édouard Manet, like Edgar Degas was essentially a painter of the modern interior. He said to Berthe Morisot: "you can do plein-air painting indoors, by painting white in the morning, lilac during the day and orange-toned in the evening". Manet's oil studies of





'A Bar at the Folies-Beregère' and





'The Ball at the Opéra' (Private Collection),

were included in this exhibition, as well as





'Interior at Arcachon' (Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, Massachusetts).


The exhibition included a number of works by well-known women artists associated with Impressionism;





Berthe Morisot, 'The Artist's Sister at a Window', (National Gallery of Art, Washington); and





'Eugène Manet on the Isle of Wight' (Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris) and

Mary Cassatt, 'Lydia at a Tapestry Frame' (Collection of the Flint Institute of Arts, Flint, Michigan).


Also featured were


Camille Pissarro, 'Minette' (Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art);

Egon Schiele: The Radical Nude

23 October 2014 – 18 January 2015 The Courtauld Gallery is presenting the first major museum exhibition in over 20 years of one of the 20 th Century’s most exceptional artists, Egon Schiele (1890- 1918). A central figure of Viennese art in the turbulent years around the First World War, Schiele rose to prominence alongside his avant-garde contemporaries, such as Gustav Klimt and Oskar Kokoschka. He produced some of the most radical depictions of the human figure created in modern times, reinventing the subject for the 20 th Century. The exhibition charts Schiele’s short but transformative career  through one of his most important subjects – his extraordinary drawings and watercolours of male and female nudes. Egon Schiele: The Radical Nude concentrates on the artist’s drawings and watercolours. It brings together an outstanding selection of works that highlight Schiele’s technical virtuosity, highly original vision and uncompromising depiction of the naked figure. This sharply focu...

THOMAS HART BENTON at Auction III - Christie's, Doyle, Bonhams

Biography - Questroyal Fine Art, LLC, New York, New York By Amy Spencer Benton’s paintings were widely loved for their reassuring images of the American heartland during two World Wars and the Great Depression. I. Biography  Thomas Hart Benton is best known for his patriotic murals that heroically depict American life during the first half of the 20th century. Born into a prominent Mid-western family of politicians, Benton grew up moving between rural Missouri and the political arena of Washington D.C.. Rejecting his grooming as a future politician, Benton developed an interest in art at an early age. Despite this rebellion, over the course of Benton’s painting career, his outspoken comments, nationalistic views, and socially charged images, marked him as a politician’s son. At the peak of his career in the 1930s, Benton was a key member of the Regionalist movement along with fellow Midwestern artists, Grant Wood and John Steuart Curry. Thomas Hart Benton was born in ...
