Huile srue toile, 97 x 63 cm, 1926, Art Institute, Chicago.

 

Au milieu des années 1920, Chaim Soutine a réalisé un groupe de natures mortes représentant des volailles suspendues et des morceaux de viande fraîchement découpés, sujets représentés dans l'art européen depuis des siècles. Plutôt que de représenter les animaux sans vie et mous, il les a souvent représentés comme des figures tragiques, comme ici. La qualité animée de la peinture épaisse et tourbillonnante suggère que l’oiseau se tord dans ses derniers instants. Ces natures mortes viscérales ont été inspirées par l’étude de Soutine sur les scènes de marché hollandais du XVIIe siècle, mais ont été peintes d’après des carcasses qu’il avait disposées dans son atelier (cf. Art Institute).

Detail from Soleil couchant 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

Huile sur toile, 83 x 65 cm, 1923-1924, centre Pompidou, Paris.

 

Le peintre russe Chaïm Soutine arrive à Paris vers 1912-1913, après une formation à Minsk chez un nommé Krueger, et la fréquentation de l’École des Beaux-Arts de Vilna (Vilnius). Accueilli, dès 1913, par le sculpteur russe Oscar Miestchaninoff dans son atelier, cité Falguière à Montparnasse, il rencontre un grand nombre des artistes de l’école de Paris : les Russes Zadkine, Chagall, Lipchitz, ou encore Kikoïne et Krémègne qu’il a connus à Minsk et à Vilna, puis Modigliani, avec lequel il partagera une longue amitié. Tous ont trouvé refuge à la cité Falguière ou à La Ruche, lieux incontournables de l’effervescence artistique de Montparnasse.

 

Dix ans se sont écoulés lorsque Soutine peint le Portrait du sculpteur Oscar Miestchaninoff. Alors qu’il se partage entre Cagnes et Paris, l'artiste continue de mener une vie de bohème sans le sou, hébergé chez ses amis à La Ruche ou en banlieue. Dans ce portrait du sculpteur, la représentation frontale, la profondeur psychologique du personnage, traits qu’il développera par la suite, sont déjà présents. Il y porte une attention particulière aux éléments saillants du corps, aux parties asymétriques du visage et au regard, composants dont la variété d’expressions "interdisent d’y voir une simple projection de la personnalité de l’artiste", note Maurice Tuchman (cf. catalogue d'exposition, Los Angeles, LACMA, 1968). Comme dans le portrait peint par Modigliani en 1916 (Portrait du sculpteur Oscar Miestchaninoff), Miestchaninoff est ici une figure imposante, sûre d’elle-même. Cette toile est sans doute l’un des rares exemples, où "l’équilibre architectonique", dont parlait Élie Faure, semble intact et inébranlable (Élie Faure, Soutine , Paris, Éd. Crès, 1929, p. 6) (cf. Dorothée Deyriès-Henry, centre Pompidou).

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.

Georgia O'Keeffe

American, 1887-1986

Oil on canvas

 

Courtesy of the Kirkland Family

 

From 1943 to 1947, American modern artist

Georgia O'Keeffe painted a series of landscapes

framed by animal bones, in this case the openings

in a bleached pelvis of an unknown species.

These images became for one writer "portals

to the universe." The artist said of the series,

"When I started painting the pelvis bones I was

most interested in the holes in the bones-what

I saw through them-particularly the blue from

holding them up against the sky .... They were the

most beautiful thing against the Blue-that Blue

that will always be there as it is now after all man's

destruction is finished."

Pissarro to Picasso: Masterworks on Loan from the Kirkland Family Collection

 

Thanks to the generosity of the Kirkland family of Los Angeles, visitors to the Portland Art Museum will be able to enjoy fourteen art treasures from the family’s collection, many of which have not been publicly displayed for decades. The works span nearly a century, from the monumental 1887 canvas of Jamaica by Martin Johnson Heade, to Marc Chagall’s 1975 The Betrothed, these works follow the revolutionary changes in art in Europe and the United States. Two still lifes by Pablo Picasso trace the shift from the astonishing 1912 debut of cubism with La Glace (bowl of ice cream) to its mature form in 1938.

 

The landscape form transmutes from Heade’s highly detailed canvas to Claude Monet’s light-filled Impressionist masterpiece Banks of the Seine River near Vétheuil, to Chaim Soutine’s blood-red expressionist 1918 Southern Landscape. Also included are rare landscapes by Henri Matisse and Georgia O’Keeffe, and a stunning scene of lovers floating in the night sky by Chagall based on stories in Thousand and One Nights. The Portland Art Museum is grateful to be able to exhibit these artworks during the Monet to Matisse: French Moderns exhibition, providing a number of provocative parallels to the treasures on loan this summer from the Brooklyn Museum.
