Signac went even farther than Seurat in his methodical studies of the division of light into its components of pure colour, and he arranged rectangular brushstrokes like tesserae in a mosaic. In 1901 Signac had painted a smaller and less vibrant version of this view of the Marseilles, crowned by the church of Notre Dame de la Garde. The luminosity and brilliant colour of the present picture are dependent on his continued use of unmixed pigments, but also on his contact with the young Fauve painters Henri-Edmond Cross and Matisse and Saint-Tropez in summer 1904.

Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde (La Bonne-Mère), Marseilles

Paul Signac French
After visiting Marseilles in late 1905, Signac proceeded to paint two canvases in his studio: one showing the entrance to the port and this view, facing the hill surmounted by Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, the church nicknamed the "Good Mother" by seamen. Bright and boldly colored, the composition reflects Signac's contact with the artists Henri-Edmond Cross and Matisse at Saint-Tropez in the summer of 1904. The rectangular strokes of unmixed pigment, arranged like tesserae in a mosaic, are Signac’s variation on the innovative painting method pioneered by Seurat.
Hull, Marie (1890–1980)
Red Parrots
Oil on canvas
25 1/8 x 25 1/8 inches
Circa 1925
Marie Hull was one of Mississippi’s most beloved artists and teachers, probably more popular and better known during the course of her ninety years than since her death. Longevity, productivity, and an indefatigable constitution gave her the extended runway needed to build up a national reputation. She made two lengthy trips to Europe, one in 1913 and another in 1929, and thereafter had dozens of exhibitions and entered scores of competitions across the country, bringing home a bounty of accolades, prizes, and awards.
Anyone even casually familiar with the long arc of Hull’s career will know that she was extremely prolific. There are, however, no more than sixty-five of her oil paintings in museum collections, with perhaps another 250 in private hands. Throughout her very social life, Hull both sold and gave away an untabulated number of works and frequently traded her paintings for those by other artists, such as Georgia O’Keeffe and Ida Kohlmeyer. With few exceptions, there are no records of these hundreds of transactions.
It was not until about 1920 that Hull’s stylistic personality began to emerge. The gestation had been a protracted one because her artistic education (at prestigious institutions such as the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, and the Art Students League in New York) had been episodic—interrupted by other personal and professional pursuits—and multivalent, influenced by the contradictory forces of traditional academic training and the more avant-garde strategies of European modernism as represented in the Armory Show of 1913. Dating to the years 1919–1929, there survives a handful of small but highly accomplished floral still lifes and landscapes, executed in a vibrant divisionist technique most clearly reliant on the Neo-Impressionism of French painters Henri-Edmond Cross, Maximilien Luce, and Paul Signac.
The artist was working in this vein in late 1925, when the Hulls arrived in St. Petersburg, Florida, where Emmett (whom Marie had married in 1917) opened an architectural practice. The venture was a short one—lasting less than a year—during which time Hull made just a handful of captivating paintings of beaches and fishing boats. On the other hand, she produced hundreds of drawings and watercolors of the exotic birds to be seen in a sub-tropical Eden—as the Gulf Coast of Florida must have seemed in those days. These studies and their extensive companion annotations were later used as points of reference when Hull created a limited number of “portraits” of her favorite specimens. The finished paintings in gouache or oil—on canvas, compressed fiberboard, and wood—are of exceptional rarity in the artist’s oeuvre: only a dozen or so can be accounted for today, including Red Parrots. In this example, she combines the technique of brush and palette knife with solid black outlines, applies gem-like fields of color resembling stained glass, and dramatically asserts the surface plane by means of flattened floral blossoms. The result is highly decorative and the nearest Marie Hull came to working in the fashionable, contemporaneous style of Art Deco.

THE JOHNSON COLLECTION - A Private Collection for Public Good
thejohnsoncollection.org/the-collection/
Sharing the art it stewards with communities across the country is The Johnson Collection’s essential purpose and propels our daily work. Much more than a physical place, TJC seeks to be a presence in American art, prioritizing access over location. Since 2013, the collection’s touring exhibitions have been loaned twenty-five times, placed without fee in partner museums with a combined annual attendance of over 1.2 million visitors. In its showcase of over 1,000 objects, TJC’s website functions as a digital museum, available anywhere and anytime.
What began as an interest in paintings by Carolina artists in 2002 has grown to encompass over 1,400 objects with provenances that span the centuries and chronicle the cultural evolution of the American South.
Today, The Johnson Collection counts iconic masterworks among its holdings, as well as representative pieces by an astonishing depth and breadth of artists, native and visiting, whose lives and legacies form the foundation of Southern art history. From William D. Washington’s The Burial of Latané to Malvin Gray Johnson’s Roll Jordan Roll, the collection embraces the region’s rich history and confronts its complexities, past and present.
.The contributions of women artists, ranging from Helen Turner—only the fourth woman elected to full membership in the National Academy of Design in 1921—to Alma Thomas—the first African American woman to have a solo exhibition at a major national museum in 1972—are accorded overdue attention, most notably in TJC's most recent publication and companion exhibition, Central to Their Lives: Southern Women Artists in the Johnson Collection. Landmark works by American artists of African descent such as Benny Andrews, Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, Aaron Douglas, William H. Johnson, Leo Twiggs, and Hale Woodruff pay homage to their makers' barrier-defying accomplishments. Modern paintings, prints, collages, and sculpture created by internationally renowned artists associated with the experimental arts enclave of Black Mountain College, including Josef Albers, Ruth Asawa, Ilya Bolotowsky, Elaine de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Kenneth Noland, and Robert Rauschenberg highlight the North Carolina school's geographic proximity to the collection's home.
Hailed by The Magazine Antiques as having staged a "quiet art historical revolution" and expanding "the meaning of regional," The Johnson Collection heralds the pivotal role that art of the South plays in the national narrative. To that end, the collection's ambitious publication and exhibition strategies extend far beyond a single city's limit or a territorial divide.
Since 2012, TJC has produced four significant scholarly books—thoroughly researched and beautifully illustrated investigations of Southern art time periods, artists, and themes: Romantic Spirits: Nineteenth Century Paintings of the South (2012); From New York to Nebo: The Artistic Journey of Eugene Thomason (2014); Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from the Johnson Collection (2015); and Central to Their Lives: Southern Women Artists in the Johnson Collection (2018). These volumes are accompanied by traveling exhibitions that have been loaned without fee to partner museums with a combined annual attendance of over 1.7 million visitors.
Smaller curated presentations rotate at the collection's hometown exhibition space, TJC Gallery. Individual objects are regularly made available for critical exhibitions such as La Biennale di Venezia, Afro-Atlantic Histories, Outliers and American Vanguard Art, Leap Before You Look: Black Mountain College, 1933-1957, Alma W. Thomas: Everything is Beautiful, Riffs and Relations: African American Artists and the European Modernist Tradition, and Bold, Cautious, True: Walt Whitman and American Art of the Civil War Era and featured in important publications and catalogues, including The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture: Art & Architecture, and The Civil War and American Art.
In 2016, the state of South Carolina honored The Johnson Collection with the Governor’s Award for the Arts, its highest arts distinction. The commendation paid tribute to the Johnson family's enduring contributions: "Equally dedicated to arts advancement and arts accessibility, the Johnsons generously share their vision, energy, passion and resources to benefit the arts in South Carolina."
"Who can say what ignites a passion? Was it those three red roses frozen in blue? An awakened connection to one's geographical roots? Perhaps the familiarity of the road to Nebo? The nucleus of what was to become our collection was formed by such seemingly unrelated catalysts. Looking back, it was always the sense of place that drew George and me to beautiful pictures—pictures that capture not only the glorious landscape of the South, but that also enliven its unique culture and dynamic history." ~Susu Johnson, Chief Executive Officer.'

Gudiashvili's early association with the Tbilisi association of symbolist poets and writers The Blue Horn had a profound effect on the young artist, inspiring the same the desire for psychological impact in his own art and a penchant towards the imaginary and magical which would run through his entire oeuvre.
The beautifully serene and lyrical composition Green Nymphs dates to Gudiashvili's Paris period (1919-1925), and is possibly the finest early oil by him still in private hands. Gudiashvili achieved a great following in the French capital, with both European and American collectors as well as gallery-owners clamouring to purchase his paintings and drawings and he was an active participant in the Salon d'automne, regularly exhibiting alongside Derain, Matisse and Signac.
Throughout these 6 years away from Georgia, Gudiashvili's painting became infused with an ever-increasing nostalgia for his homeland, albeit couched within his fantastical universe. Typically, the motherland is depicted as a beautiful woman, set against a background of exotic scenery, but in perfect harmony with it. Here, the defined ripples of the water echo the sensual curves of the nymphs' bodies.
In the offered work, as with many of his preceding compositions, humans and animals are shown in harmonious partnership, underscoring the artist's vision of a world in complete unity, and which can be traced back to the most primitive art. The presence of a bull with its allusion to the Greek legend of the Rape of Europa is a further unmistakable reference to the mythological undertones of his early works. Moreover, it firmly links Green Nymphs with the tradition of Russian Synthetism epitomised by World of Art artists such as Valentin Serov.
The combination of undulating forms and the bright green and blue hues pulsating in waves of varying intensity throughout the composition, betray the influence of modern French masters such as Matisse, whose masterpiece of human movement, La danse provides a pertinent comparison with the offered lot.
However, as L'Echo de Paris reported in 1925, "The Georgian Gudiashvili has studied in Paris and is as familiar with our artistic movements as he is with all our recipes, but he still remains completely Georgian." Indeed it was this national orientation which Maurice Raynal praised in the first foreign monograph of the artist at the time of Gudiashvili's 1925 show, where the offered lot was exhibited.
'The artist has felt it imperative to build the basis of his art on the foundations of popular Georgian art, which themselves could not have escaped the influence of Russian and Persian culture. Hence, he depicts these groups of elongated figures, painted in opaque hues, and slightly two-dimensional as in Byzantine art or Persian miniatures. Perspective [...] is cast aside in favour of a freer composition, and therefore results in a more inspired line and modelling.'
Green Nymphs can be considered the best work from Gudiashvili's Parisian period and it is a measure of the artist's attachment to this composition that he chose to keep for himself and bring it back to Georgia in November 1925
Railroad to Dieppe, 1886, oil on canvas
Camille Pissarro, French, born 1830, died 1903
Pissarro -- the oldest of the Impressionists and the only one to exhibit in all eight Impressionist exhibitions -- embraced Neoimpressionism in the late 1880s. He was intrigued by the bold optical experiments of the young painters Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, who used small dabs of juxtaposed color to build pictures of great effect and intensity. Pissarro eventually abandoned the style, claiming it was fussy and time-consuming.

Oil on canvas, 1893.
This portrait of the artist's wife creates a complex of elements, composed of the tapestry background of a Morris pattern, and the formalized, profile pose of the head.
Lucien Pissarro was an important link between the first generation of Impressionists and their British followers. His personal contact with Cezanne, Seurat and Signac led him to adopt the pointillist techniques which may have influenced his father's style. In the 1890s in London he also represented an awareness of French symbolism, which chimed well with the indigenous work of Beardsley, and the decorative arts of Morris.
Art Exhibition - Crossing Borders, 3 Sep 2018 - 6 Jan 2019.
Crossing Borders invites viewers to consider the politics of citizenship and national identity within the context of British 20th Century art.
The exhibition features the work of British migrant artists who, by choice or necessity, crossed borders to live, work and often nationalise in Britain. By recognising the talent of these artists, Crossing Borders hopes to celebrate the cultural diversity that is inherent in British art’s history.
The exhibition aims to highlight the positive impact migration and free movement has had historically on the art and culture of Britain; emphasising Britain’s multi-cultural history and challenging assumptions of national identity.
Crossing Borders features paintings by influential Jewish-immigrant artists Jacob Kramer, Bernard Meninsky and Alfred Wolmark. Part of a generation of Anglo-Jewish painters, these artists settled in Britain after fleeing the anti-Semitic regimes of Europe. They sought to create art which reflected both their faith and their experiences of personal trauma. The artworks on display at Ferens Art Gallery are an expression of this complex identity.

Existen muestras muy diversas de estructuras situadas en los paseos centrales de los bulevares formando parte del mobiliario urbano, puestos, barracas, kioscos, casetas, pero ninguna con la configuración de obra que presenta la pintada por Signac.
Existe una fotografía de Favius (arriba) tomada en 1870 durante la Comuna de París, que muestra todo el bulevar repleto de unas barracas de madera que a todas luces no tienen nada que ver con la forma de este edificio.

Signac leader of the Neo-Impressionist style originated by Georges Sourat, against free brushwork, towards tiny, distinct touches of pure color.
Here is an image of Cap Canaille, which dominates over the town of Cassis, near to Les Calanques. The photo was taken in the early evening from one of the beaches, which I think gives the photo a quite nice light, and as this is of course Provence in summer, the sky is perfectly clear. Taken in the evening, a lot of the tourists had gone leaving the picture quite free of people and swimmers. Though I am unsure of this, I think I remember reading somewhere that Cap Canaille is that red shade because it was made of the same type of rock that is commonly found in Corsica and parts of Sardinia, which can also be seen with the distinctive red shade there. There is a famous painting of the headland by Paul Signac.

Years of Art in Bloom Participation: 2
Vincent Van Gogh - Imperial Fritillaries in a Copper Vase, 1887. Fritillaries are bulbs which, like tulips, flower in spring. It is therefore easy to work out what time of year Van Gogh painted this picture. The variety which he represents is the imperial fritillary, which was grown in French and Dutch gardens at the end of the 19th century. It has an orange-red flower, with a long stem from which each bulb produces between three and ten flowers. So to compose this bouquet, Vincent used only one or two bulbs, placing the cut flowers in a copper vase.
When he produced this painting, Vincent was living in Paris and was in close contact with Paul Signac. It is not surprising, therefore, to note that Van Gogh applied some of the principles of Neo-Impressionist painting, of which Signac was one of the major figures: pointillist brushwork is used for the background, and a contrast of complementary colours, blue and orange, dominates the painting. However, the influence of these Neo-Impressionist theories remains limited. The separate brushstrokes were only used for a defined surface, the interplay of complementary colours did not limit Van Gogh in his choice of shades in any way, and finally, by choosing a still life, he was moving away from the themes treated by Seurat and his followers.
The painter Emile Bernard would later recall that Vincent was courting ‘La Segatori', the Italian owner of the Tambourin café on the boulevard de Clichy, and used to give her paintings of flowers, "which would last for ever". Thanks to painted bouquets like this one, the Tambourin would soon become a veritable artificial garden.
