essay
The German painter Emil Nolde painted himself in the hearts of art lovers with colorful flower pictures. His works impress with their color and their power. Nolde himself describes that painting in watercolors is a need for him. He paints people, landscapes, animals and flowers. From the intimate nature of his early watercolors, he worked his way up to the freer, broader and more fluid representation, which requires a particularly thorough understanding and understanding of the nature of the paper and the possibilities of the colors. Nolde's love for flowers goes back to his childhood and has accompanied his entire artistic career. As in our example, it is the purity and freedom of the color, but also the combination of beauty and transience, which stimulates the artist again and again. The flower picture allows his color imagination more freedom than any other subject, here he can drive his idea of ​​the musicality and absolute effect of color close to abstraction, without losing the connection to nature, which is always a prerequisite for his work. [SM]

Pablo Picasso - Nature morte

-
Image
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) Nature morte signed and dated 'Picasso 25. Av. 37.' (centre right) oil on canvas 15 x 24 1/8 in. (38 x 61.1 cm.) Painted on 25 April 1937  There is an intensely poetic atmosphere to Nature morte, painted in 1937. Stars are glowing in the night sky, while the foreground is dominated by the accoutrements and accessories of a leisured and contemplative evening. Pipe and book lie alongside a drink and a candelabra, hinting at the passing of an evening of solitary pleasures, both of the mind and of the body. The lyricism of the scene is heightened by the swirling curlicues of the balcony in the background, as though this evening were being spent in the countryside, rather than in Paris. As though it was the Eighteenth Century and a time of peace, rather than a metropolis, with the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War. While there is undoubtedly an air of whimsy to Nature morte, the picture - both in terms of composition and content - also reveals...

Image
  Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) Ferme en Normandie, été (Hattenville) oil on canvas 25 5/8 x 31 7/8 in. (65.1 x 81.1 cm.) Painted in 1882  Painted in 1882, Ferme en Normandie, été (Hattenville) is the largest of a series of four works that Paul Cézanne created during a summer sojourn at the home of his friend, the legendary impressionist collector Victor Chocquet, in Hattenville, Normandy. Chocquet, one of the first ardent champions and earliest collectors of Impressionism, was also the first owner of this painting and it remained in his collection until his death. Painted at a time when Cézanne was reaching artistic maturity, Ferme en Normandie, été (Hattenville) exemplifies a crucial moment in the artist’s career, illustrating his move from Impressionism towards his own distinctive and highly influential ‘constructed’ style. With an array of fresh and verdant green tones, the scene is an evocative, poetic vision of a quiet corner of a rural garden bathed in the blissful g...
