Museum, Groningen, The Netherlands
The Groninger Museum was founded in 1874. The current building was opened in 1994.
The radically modernist structures forming the Groninger Museum stand in a canal opposite a railway station consist of three main pavilions: a silver cylindrical building designed by Philippe Starck a yellow tower by Alessandro Mendini, and a pale blue deconstructivist space by Coop Himmelb(l)au.A bridge that connects the museum to the train station is part of a cycling and walking path to the central city.
The Groninger Museum is the home to various expositions of local, national, and international works of art, most of them modern and abstract. Some have provoked controversy, like the photo exhibition of Andres Serrano, but others are more main stream, such as the exhibition of the works by Ilya Repin, the "Russian Rembrandt".

“A sorcerer is an artist” - that is what Ilya Repin called Ivan Pohitonov. Other artists, Polenov, Bogolyubov, Baksheev, also highly appreciated his painting. Pokhitonov was the pioneer of miniature painting - in this he had no equal.
To the 170th anniversary of the artist’s birthday, an exhibition has opened in the Tretyakov Gallery, which introduces in detail the work of Ivan Pokhitonov. Here are about a hundred works from the collections of the Tretyakov Gallery and Otar Margania. It is complemented by photographs and documents.
Ivan Pokhitonov began as a self-taught person. In Paris, he studied under the landscape painter A.P. Bogolyubov, studied painting of the Barbizonians, C. Corot, the impressionists. His landscapes can be called miniatures. He wrote on the tablets (preferred lemon or mahogany). He wrote with thin brushes and used a magnifying glass. At the end, the dried-up colorful surface was polished with a fish bone, achieving smoothness and brilliance. The colors of his landscapes shine even now, like enamel.
Pokhitonov’s originality, his dissimilarity to others was that he was able to combine the virtuoso technique of miniature painting with a lively, direct sense of nature, plein air searches. If C.-F. Daubigny and C. Monet sailed along the rivers of France in workshop boats, while Pokhitonov drove along the roads of France in a tailor-made workshop car with a high light specially made for him.
Ivan Pokhitonov is a man of the world. Born in Russia, studied in Paris, traveled throughout Europe and died in Belgium. Pavel Tretyakov noticed the artist when he was still young and acquired 25 miniatures from him. Everyone was surprised how Pokhitonov managed to paint paintings that were no more than fifteen to twenty centimeters.
Without a magnifying glass, you can hardly appreciate all the advantages of his paintings, see the details. Here in the picture "Laundresses" - two figures. Upon closer inspection, you may find that they are smiling and communicating with each other. It seems that you hear the hubbub of the voices of these laundries, which merge with the hubbub of nature.
In Paris, Pokhitonov became interested in porcelain painting. His plates are made in one copy. The artist painted each bottom like a picture. These plates are now very rare and very valuable. But they reflect a reminder of what applied art should be.
Pokhitonov's paintings in private collections are a rarity. They are in museums and the artist's family. The great-granddaughter of the artist Allegro Shapui-Markevich flew to the exhibition from Switzerland and presented paintings and photographs stored in their house. Allegro Shapyu-Markevich emphasized that “Pokhitonov lived in Belgium precisely because his sister and her husband, an anarchist, moved there because they could not live in Russia and they were very close.”
In the USSR, Pokhitonov was remembered in 1963, 40 years after his death. Then in the Tretyakov Gallery was the first personal exhibition of the master. The current exposition, the third in a row, makes it possible to rediscover the name of the artist-sorcerer.

Just to get me motivated and inspired again I started with a 52 week photography challenge for 2017. This week the challenge was to take a photo with the rule of thirds.
The photo is made in the Drents Museum in Assen at an exhibition about the Russian/Ukranian realists 1870-1900 (Peredvizhniki).

The River Veules flowing past the village of Veules-les-Roses, Normandy, France
Some background information:
With its less than 600 residents, the village of Veules-les-Roses is situated in the French department of Seine-Maritime, just about 19 km (12 miles) southwest of the city of Dieppe. The commune is located on the Côte d'Albâtre (in English: "alabaster coast") by the English Channel in the Pays de Caux. The River Veules, which flows through the settlement, is the shortest sea-bound river in France It has a length of just 1.194 kilometres (0.742 miles) and its water is used to create ponds for growing watercress. The River Veules finds its way to the sea through a gap in the high chalk cliffs, which overlook a sand and pebble beach.
Already founded in the 4th century, Veules-les-Roses is one of the oldest villages in the Pays de Caux. Originally it was a settlement of fishermen and weavers. In the 19th century, it became a popular holiday resort and an artist colony evolved. Veules-les-Roses was cherished by artists of different art disciplines, such as the French author Victor Hugo, the French poets Jean Richepin and François Coppée, the Scottish painters Samuel Peploe and John Duncan Fergusson as well as the French composer Alexandre Georges, to name just a few. In particular, Veules-les-Roses attracted painters from Russia, for example Ilya Repin and Alexey Bogolyubov. But even many politicians and some sports personalities, such as the famous French tennis player Suzanne Lenglen, came here for the sea air.
In June 1940, 3,000 French and some hundred English soldiers trooped up at the beach of Veules-les-Roses for being evacuated by French ships and aluding capture by advancing German troops under General Rommel. In the Battle of Veules, Germans fired from the cliffs and the French armoured cargo boat "Cérons" was sunk. As a result, several French and English soldiers lost their lives at the beach and others were taken captive, but some could be evacuated by naval ships.
Today, Veules-les-Roses is still a very beautiful and again quaint place, with nice restaurants, idyllic half-timbered cottages, mills along the river, fantastic seaside walks and delicious local oysters. In 2017, Veules-les-Rose was appointed the 157th member of the association "The most beautiful villages of France" (in French: "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France"), which promotes small and picturesque French villages of quality heritage. Currently 164 villages throughout France are pooled under the umbrella of the organisation.
The Côte d'Albâtre is part of the French coast of the English Channel, corresponding to the coastline of Pays de Caux. Since 2009 it has been classified as a Natura 2000 site. It takes its name from the white hue of its high chalk cliffs, including those of Étretat, which stretch for over 120 km, dominating most of the coastline. The Côte d'Albâtre is part of the same geological system as the White Cliffs of Dover on the far side of the English Channel.
The Côte runs from the large container port of Le Havre to the small fishing village of Le Tréport, taking in the town of Dieppe, as well as Fécamp and Saint-Valery-en-Caux. Three river valleys punctuate the cliff face, making way for the harbours of Fécamp sheltering on the Valmont river, Dieppe on the Arques, and Tréport on the Bresle.
The Côte d’Albâtre was a favourite subject of Impressionist painters, including Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Other artists who painted the coastline include Gustave Courbet and Eugène Boudin. Furthermore, the coastline was also frequented by composers associated with sea such as Claude Debussy and Albert Roussel. Finally the writer Guy de Maupassant grew up on the Côte d'Albâtre at Étretat, while other writers like the English poet Algernon Charles Swinburne or the French mystery writer Georges Simenon visited this seacoast too.

Pedestrian-span bridge over the drainage channel. To get to the bridge, it is best to go from the Tretyakov Gallery on Lavrushinsky lane to Kadashevskaya embankment. Crossing the bridge, get on Bolotnaya Square to Repin monument. Newlyweds on the bridge carried a photo shoot and hang locks on fences and special metal trees.
La fille du pêcheur
Le tableau est peint en Normandie en plein air où Ilya Répine passe l'été, sur les conseils du peintre russe : Alexeï Bogolioubov qui accueille les jeunes peintres boursiers russes, comme Répine, séjournant à Paris pour améliorer leurs connaissances et pratiques artistiques. Aucun misérabilisme n'apparait dans cette peinture d'une petite fille très pauvre que Répine traite avec une grande finesse.
Oeuvre d'Ilya Répine (1844-1930)

Huile sur toile
Musée régional d'art, Irkoutsk, Russie
Oeuvre présentée dans l'exposition "Ilya Répine (1844-1930)
Peindre l’âme russe", Petit Palais, Musée des beaux-arts de la ville de Paris
Du 5 octobre 2021 au 23 janvier 2022, le Petit Palais présente la première rétrospective française consacrée à Ilya Répine, l’une des plus grandes gloires de l’art russe. Peu connu en France, son œuvre est pourtant considéré comme un jalon essentiel de l’histoire de la peinture russe des XIXe et XXe siècles. Une centaine de tableaux, prêtés notamment par la Galerie Nationale Trétiakov de Moscou, le Musée d’État russe de Saint-Pétersbourg et le musée d’art de l’Ateneum d’Helsinki, dont certains très grands formats, permettent de retracer son parcours à travers ses chefs- d’œuvre.

The Moulin Des Cressonnières (in English: "Watercress Mill"), built in the first half of the 19th century, in the village of Veules-les-Roses, Normandy, France
