Musée Granet and the Réunion des Musées Nationaux show "The Picasso/Cézanne Exhibition" Monday, 25 May 2009 02:50 AIX-EN-PROVENCE, FRANCE - The Picasso / Cézanne exhibition focuses on the subtle links between these two giants in art: the direct influence of the force of the “father of modern art” on the young artist arriving in France in 1900, or the mature musings of the man who liked to say I live with Cézanne? Even if it is not flagrant in his work, Cézanne was much admired by Picasso and often in his thoughts: Cézanne! He was like a father to us all. On exhibition at the Musée Granet from 25th May through 27th September, 2009. After Cézanne in Provence (2006), the Communauté du pays d’Aix, the Musée Granet and the Réunion des Musées Nationaux are again partners in the organisation of an exhibition in Provence, at the foot of Mont Sainte Victoire. A tutelary figure that Cézanne approached step-by-step throughout his lifetime, but which Picasso embraced energeticall...

Spring Showers, New York,1900 Alfred Stieglitz (1864–1946) was at the center of the American avant-garde and great changes in American art during the first half of the 20th century. From the 1890s to the 1940s, Stieglitz was arguably the most influential figure associated with modern art in the United States. America’s first great art photographer, he almost single-handedly established photography as a fine art, developed an audience for modern art, and financially supported and promoted many of America’s earliest modern artists through three very influential galleries he operated. Stieglitz founded and edited two influential photography magazines and assembled the first great collection of modern art in the United States, which consisted of more than 800 objects, not including his own photographs. He was also first in America to promote an appreciation of traditional African artifacts as works of art, not primitive curiosities. Stieglitzwas the impresario of the modern art movement in...

The Figure 5 in Gold, 1928 Charles Demuth (American, 1883–1935) Oil on cardboard 35 1/2 x 30 in. (90.2 x 76.2 cm) Alfred Stieglitz Collection, 1949 (49.59.1) Born and raised in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Charles Demuth studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia intermittently between 1905 and 1908. It was in Philadelphia that the artist first met the American poet and physician William Carlos Williams, the subject of this painting. Demuth was a versatile artist and tailored his style to suit his subject matter. His delicate watercolors of fruits and flowers are lyrical evocations of nature, while his paintings of the modern urban and industrial landscape, on the other hand, are tightly controlled, hard, and exact. Aptly called Precisionist, these works show the influence of European Cubism and Futurism, but their sense of scale and directness of expression seem entirely American. The Figure 5 in Gold is one of a series of eight abstract portraits of friends that...

Painting, Number 5, 1914-15Oil on canvas, 39 1/2 x 31 3/4 in. (100.3 x 80.6 cm)Gift of an anonymous donor 58.65 Looking for the meaning of the red cross, I found that the coat of arms for Freiburg im Breisgau (a city in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, in the Breisgau region on the western edge of the Black Forest. ) is the following: Could it be ...that Marsden Hartley ..in love with KARL VON FREYBURG ....thought of this coat of arms as a way of saying: this is a portrait is of karl without writing the initials KVF (as he did in other paintings..)....A SUIVRE

[Marsden Hartley], ca. 1915 / Alfred Stieglitz, photographer. Photographic print : 1 item : photocopy ; image is 24 x 19 cm. on paper 29 x 26 cm. G. Alan Chidsey papers, 1920-1979. Archives of American Art. Born in Lewiston, Maine, Marsden Hartley became one of the most famous early modernist artists of twentieth-century American art, known for landscapes, still lifes, and some portraits. His painting showed a focus on monumental shapes, especially clouds and landscape forms, and his unique style has been described by critic Sadakichi Hartmann as "an extreme and up-to-date impressionism" and "emerging modernism that evolved through Impressionism".
