Brown appropriates images by living, working artists, such as Frank Auerbach and Georg Baselitz, as well as paintings by historical artists, such as Guido Reni, Diego Velázquez, Anthony van Dyck, Rembrandt, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Eugène Delacroix, John Martin, Gustave Courbet, Adolph Menzel, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Vincent van Gogh, Chaim Soutine and Salvador Dalí. He claims that the references to these artists are not direct quotations, but alterations and combinations of several works by different artists, although the artists whose work is appropriated do not always agree. As art critic Michael Bracewell states, Brown is less concerned with the art-historical status of those works he appropriates than with their ability to serve his purpose – namely his epic exploration of paint and painting. In most cases, the artist uses reproductions printed in exhibition catalogues, found on the internet or ordered through print-on-demand companies. By scanning and changing the image with programmes like Photoshop, Brown playfully alters the image to his specific needs. He distorts, stretches, pulls, turns the image upside down and changes the colour, usually based on other found images, as well as the background setting. Describing his working practice in an interview, Brown stated: I‘m rather like a Dr Frankenstein, constructing paintings out of the residue or dead parts of other artist‘s work. I hope to create a sense of strangeness by bringing together examples of the way the best historic and modern-day artists have depicted their personal sense of the world. I see their worlds from multiple or schizophrenic perspectives, through all their eyes. Their sources of inspiration suggest things I would never normally see – rocks floating in far-off galaxies, for example, or a bowl of flowers in an 18th-century room, or a child in a fancy-dress costume. It‘s those fictions that I take as subject matter. The scenes may have been relatively normal to Rembrandt or Fragonard but because of the passage of time and the difference in culture, to me they are fantastical.

Le Village (1923)
Chaïm Soutine (1893-1943)
Musée de l'Orangerie, Paris
Soutine was of Belarusian Jewish origin. He emigrated to Paris and developed a highly personal vision and painting technique.
Soutine once horrified his neighbours by keeping an animal carcass in his studio so that he could paint it (Carcass of Beef). The stench drove them to send for the police, whom Soutine promptly lectured on the relative importance of art over hygiene. There's a story that Marc Chagall saw the blood from the carcass leak out onto the corridor outside Soutine's room, and rushed out screaming, 'Someone has killed Soutine'.
In February 2006, an oil painting of his controversial and iconic series Le Boeuf Ecorche (1924) sold for a record £7.8 million ($13.8US million).

Huile sur toile, 81 x 49 cm, 1923-1924, musée de l'Orangerie, Paris.
Dans cette nature morte, toute la composition bascule vers la gauche. La volaille est pendue selon une diagonale que rien ne peut expliquer. Le seul élément horizontal est le linge blanc lumineux posé sur un plan indéterminé perdu dans le fond sombre, presque noir du tableau. Les tomates entassées en une pyramide improbable et instable font le lien entre le plan horizontal du linge et la diagonale du dindon. Elles viennent en quelque sorte asseoir la composition. Des touches rouges, orangées et jaunes tourbillonnent sur la chair de l’animal. Les tomates d’un rouge éclatant ponctué de taches lumineuses blanc crème, traitées en touches larges et moins nerveuses, font contrepoint. Le linge blanc est parsemé de taches rouges projetées et de coulures de peinture. Les pâtes violacées et la tache noire figurant sans doute les plumes du volatile font planer l’ombre de la mort et de la putréfaction (cf. Paul Guillaume et Domenica Walter, musée de l'Orangerie).
La ciutat de Ceret (en francès Céret) és coneguda per les estades de grans pintors i escultors: el 1910 s'hi establí Manolo Hugué, amic de Pablo Picasso, el qual hi va estar el 1911, i més tard s'hi va unir Georges Braque, i el poeta Max Jacob. Del 1911 al 1914 Picasso hi va pintar moltes obres cubistes. Pel mateix temps també varen estar a la vila Juan Gris i Auguste Herbin. El 1919 els lituans Chaïm Soutine i Pinchus Krémegne, expressionistes, i el cubista André Masson. Més tard, Marc Chagall, Raoul Dufy, Albert Marquet i Jean Cocteau. El 1950 Pierre Brune, instal·lat a Ceret des del 1916, hi va fundar el Museu d'Art Modern, al qual Picasso i Matisse van donar diverses obres. El 1953, Picasso va tornar a Céret, i va donar al museu més obres. El 1983 hi va anar a pintar Antoni Tàpies i se li va dedicar una sala del museu. El 1990 es va portar a Ceret un llenç de Picasso del període blau (el Retrat de Corina Pere Romeu). Aquest passat artístic és molt present a la ciutat gràcies a la seva quantitat de museus, galeries d'art i exposicions, així com en qualsevol terrassa no és especialment difícil trobar-se algú posant a prova les seves capacitats artístiques.
Els ceretans tenen el sobrenom d'els sac-i-corda. A més a Ceret se la coneix popularment com a la capital de la cirera.

Hyman Bloom
Paintings and Drawings 1940–2005
(“The Rabbinical Series”)
July 17 through September 23
Hyman Bloom (1913–2009) was a Latvian-born painter influenced by Eastern European Jewish heritage, Middle Eastern
and South Asian music, and mortality. Bloom and his family immigrated to Boston in the 1920s where he was discovered at
14, and received a scholarship to study drawing under famed Harvard art professor, Denman Ross.
The Rabbinical paintings presented in this exhibition, permeated by historical influences ranging from Grünewald and
Rembrandt, to Redon and Soutine, to Indian tantric art and Chinese painting, reflect the mystical and macabre with vivid
intensity: sordid subjects depicted in sensual, jewel-like colors. According to the artist, his works serve as “an attempt to cope
with one’s destiny and become master of it.”
Art critic, Thomas Hess, hailed Bloom in Art News as “one of the outstanding painters of his generation”. Bloom’s
“successors” Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning considered him the first Abstract Expressionist. His first public showing
contained thirteen paintings in the Museum of Modern Art exhibition “Americans 1942”, curated by Dorothy C. Miller. Bloom
represented the United States at the 1950 Venice Biennale alongside Gorky, Pollock, and de Kooning. In 1954, a traveling
retrospective of his work appeared at the Whitney Museum of American Art, to critical and press acclaim. In the mid-50s, he
participated in an experiment recording the effects of LSD in his drawings.
Bloom was a key figure in the Boston Expressionist movement. His shy, reclusive nature did not allow for joining arms
with the Abstract Expressionist explosion in the art world of the mid-20th century in New York. Rather, uninterested in fame,
Bloom veered off in his own direction, evoking the spiritual and the metaphysical, and not succumbing either to the pop art
movement that became ubiquitous later. Nonetheless, he remains an important link in American post-war art history, and his
work has been increasingly revisited since his death at the age of 96.

Antonio Scialoja was born in Rome on December 16, 1914. In the late 1930s he joined the artistic and literary circles of the Galleria La Cometa. Having given up his law studies in 1937, he devoted himself entirely to painting and produced his first Expressionist paintings, in which his use of thick textural brushstrokes was clearly influenced by French painting, in particular Soutine. In 1939 he exhibited at the third Quadriennale of Rome and in 1941 had a private show at the Società Amici dell’Arte in Turin. The following year he took part in a group show at the Galleria Lo Zodiaco in Rome, along with Emilio Vedova, Giulio Turcato, and Leoncillo Leonardi. He was actively involved in the Resistance, and he worked for the theater, designing his first stage sets in 1943. At the end of the war, along with the artists Stradone, Ciarrocchi, and Sadun, he founded the group “I quattro fuori strada”. During the late 1940s he went to Paris, where he became increasingly immersed in European artistic culture; this environment strongly affected his investigation into tone and Neo-Cubism. In the 1950s Scialoja gradually broke free from Expressionism, turning to Analytical Cubism and then to abstraction. His contacts with the group Origine, who were against the decorative aspects of abstract art, together with his trip to the U.S. in 1956, where he met the protagonists of American Abstract Expressionism, pushed the artist to thoroughly explore color, texture, and gestural painting. His first Impronte date back to 1957; in these works traces of deposited color are printed from one surface onto the other, and onto diverse materials ranging from paper to canvas. Meanwhile Scialoja toock part in important national and international shows; in 1960 he moved first to New York and then from 1961 to 1963 to Paris. Back in Italy he exhibited in the 1964 Venice Biennale. His artistic production ceased for a prolonged period during the 1970s, and he only resumed painting in 1983. Scialoja was also a poet, writer, and set designer. He taught at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and served as its director for many years. He died in Rome on March 1, 1998.

Detail from le matin clair aux saules by Claude Monet.
Claude Monet, born Oscar Claude Monet (14 November 1840 – 5 December 1926), was a founder of French impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-air landscape painting.
The term Impressionism is derived from the title of his painting Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant).
The Musée de l'Orangerie is an art gallery of impressionist and post-impressionist paintings located in Paris.
It contains works by Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri Rousseau, Chaim Soutine, Alfred Sisley and Maurice Utrillo among others.
The gallery is on the bank of the Seine in the old orangery of the Tuileries Palace on the Place de la Concorde.
A cycle of Monet's water-lily paintings, known as the Nympheas, was arranged on the ground floor of the Orangerie in 1927.
The museum was closed to the public from the end of August 1999 until May 2006. The Orangerie was renovated in order to move Les Nympheas to the upper floor of the gallery.
They are now available under direct diffused light as was originally intended by Monet.
The eight paintings are displayed in two rooms. They are:
1) Le Matin aux saules
2) Le Matin clair aux saules
3) Reflets d'arbres
4) Les Nuages
5) Soleil couchant
6) Reflets verts
7) Les deux saules
8) Matin.

Ce portrait a probablement été peint à Cagnes, dans le sud de la France, comme de nombreux autres portraits de femmes réalisés avec le même pinceau curviligne. Le titre du tableau ne concerne aucune anecdote connue, et le modèle n'a pas été identifié. Le format vertical enserre parfaitement cette silhouette fine au visage allongé, se détachant sur un fond vert et marron. Le traitement de la robe blanche par Soutine rappelle la technique qu'il utilisait pour les tuniques de ses petits pâtissiers, le blanc est éclaboussé de longs coups de pinceau de vert, de bleu et de jaune, donnant l'impression que les plis du vêtement bougent et le rendent presque irisé. La chair est représentée par de longs traits de couleurs, allant du rose au rouge, qui mettent en valeur la structure de ses mains et certaines zones de son visage, de manière très frappante. Chaïm Soutine utilise ce portrait de la jeune femme pour expérimenter une peinture qui recompose le monde réel à travers ses propres émotions et révèle une audace expressionniste étonnante (cf. Paul Guillaume et Dominique Walter, musée de l'Orangerie).

CATALOGUE NOTE
La vieille dame assise epitomizes Soutine's portraiture of the middle and late 1920s, characterized by a great expressiveness of pose, rhythmically charged brushstrokes and strong color contrasts. Regardless of the age, social status, or the artist's personal involvement with the sitter, Soutine's portraits are imbued with a strong physical presence, as well as with a uniqueness and individuality of his subjects. As the authors of the Catalogue raisonné of Soutine's work have commented: "While his portraits do convey inner realities and make spiritual statements, they are primarily rooted in concrete perception. Though Soutine may project his inner turbulence and most personal feelings onto his subjects, the viewer never loses sight of a particular physical entity being carefully observed and experienced. Even the distortions and exaggerations of facial features and the shiftings and dislocations of body parts do not destroy the essential recognition in each painting of a certain person and a reality specific to him or her" (M. Tuchman, E. Dunow & K. Perls, op. cit., p. 509).
Soutine's pictures, known for their textural bravura and focus on the sensual beauty of unusual subjects, astounded his contemporaries. Whether portraits of the working class, depictions of local monuments, landscapes or dead animals, he was able to invest vernacular subjects with a raw beauty that set him apart from the rest of the avant-garde. In the late 1920s, the art historian Élie Faure wrote a monograph on Soutine's work, in which he extolled the artist for the passion behind his paintings and the quasi-religious fervor that he felt they expressed. Faure's analysis of these pictures, although grippingly poetic in its formal descriptions, met with much controversy and ultimately alienated the artist from that author. Although his interpretations of these pictures are debatable, Faure provided a description of the artist that captures accurately the intensity of his character. "If you saw him in the street," Faure wrote, "in the pouring rain, with his fugitive look, his hat pulled down over his eyes, his beautiful, small, pale hands, this Kalmouk's face with his straight hair covering his forehead, you would feel as if you were watching unfold the drama of the Magi pushing towards the star [of Bethlehem] in search of rest" (quoted in Norman L. Kleeblatt and Kenneth E. Silver, An Expressionist in Paris, The Paintings of Chaim Soutine (exhibition catalogue); The Jewish Museum, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Cincinatti Art Museum, 1998-99, p. 34).
The first owner of this picture was the sculptor and collector Oscar Miestchaninoff, who posed for several famous portraits by Modigliani and Soutine.
Live art project "Zichtbaar afwezig" (visibly absent) of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, inspired by Chaim Soutine's Le Boeuf.

La réponse de Soutine au sud de la France semble avoir été intensément physique. Dans cette œuvre, les rues escarpées de Vence lui offrent une perspective plongeante qu'il soude sous l'arbre dominant. La toile contient à peine l’énergie tourbillonnante des formes, ce qui entraîne une relation étrangement claustrophobe avec la nature (cf. Tate modern, août 2004).

Brown appropriates images by living, working artists, such as Frank Auerbach and Georg Baselitz, as well as paintings by historical artists, such as Guido Reni, Diego Velázquez, Anthony van Dyck, Rembrandt, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Eugène Delacroix, John Martin, Gustave Courbet, Adolph Menzel, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Vincent van Gogh, Chaim Soutine and Salvador Dalí.

In most cases, the artist uses reproductions printed in exhibition catalogues, found on the internet or ordered through print-on-demand companies. By scanning and changing the image with programmes like Photoshop, Brown playfully alters the image to his specific needs. He distorts, stretches, pulls, turns the image upside down and changes the colour, usually based on other found images, as well as the background setting. Describing his working practice in an interview, Brown stated: I‘m rather like a Dr Frankenstein, constructing paintings out of the residue or dead parts of other artist‘s work. I hope to create a sense of strangeness by bringing together examples of the way the best historic and modern-day artists have depicted their personal sense of the world. I see their worlds from multiple or schizophrenic perspectives, through all their eyes. Their sources of inspiration suggest things I would never normally see – rocks floating in far-off galaxies, for example, or a bowl of flowers in an 18th-century room, or a child in a fancy-dress costume. It‘s those fictions that I take as subject matter. The scenes may have been relatively normal to Rembrandt or Fragonard but because of the passage of time and the difference in culture, to me they are fantastical.

Huile sur toile, 65 x 50 cm, 1915-1916.
Cet atelier était commun avec Modigliani dès 1914, ce dernier en ayant obtenu un à la Cité Falguière en 1909, et jusqu'en 1916-début 1917. Ils vivaient même ensemble en 1916. Le témoignage du peintre d'origine russe Pinchus Krémègne est assez frappant : "Un jour, je suis arrivé vers vingt-trois heures ou minuit à la Cité Falguière. Modigliani avait jeté tous les meubles infestés par des punaises. Je suis entré… Modigliani et Soutine étaient allongés par terre. Bien sûr, il n'y avait ni lumière, ni gaz. Ils tenaient chacun dans leur main une bougie. Modigliani lisait Dante et Soutine Le Petit Parisien." A l'arrière plan du présent tableau, les locaux de l'Institut Pasteur comprenaient une cheminée (cf. parisladouce.com).
Au printemps 1918, alors que la Grosse Bertha bombarde Paris, Zborowski envoie Soutine à Vence avec d'autres de ses "poulains" (Foujita et Modigliani, censé s'y soigner). Il est probable que le jeune artiste, homme du Nord et de la grisaille, a été ébloui par les couleurs et les lumières de Provence. Le peintre Léopold Survage se souvient qu'insociable, il rôde seul toute la journée, ses toiles sous le bras et sa boîte de couleurs ficelée à la hanche, rentrant fourbu après de longues courses. Il estime que c'est à cette époque que les paysages de Soutine commencent à suivre des lignes obliques qui leur donnent leur allure des plus mouvementées.
C'est lors d'un séjour à Cagnes-sur-Mer que Soutine apprend, en janvier 1920, la mort de Modigliani, suivie de près par le suicide de sa compagne Jeanne Hébuterne, qui était aussi son modèle. Ce décès brutal et prématuré laisse un grand vide dans la vie de Soutine, plus seul que jamais, même si, incapable en apparence de gratitude ou de respect, il ne cesse de décrier l'œuvre de son ami, comme il l'a toujours fait aussi bien pour lui-même que pour les autres peintres Cette attitude, plaide Clarisse Nicoïdski, s'explique peut-être par la jalousie ou parce qu'il a été trop pauvre et malheureux pour pouvoir se montrer généreux (cf. wikipédia).
