Henri Rousseau le Douanier (1844-1910), La chevauchée de la discorde (La guerre), c.1894, oil on canvas, 114 x 195 cm, Musée d'Osay
Discord on Horseback (War)
Deeply grieved by the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71, Rousseau conveys his feelings about war and its atrocities in this work. War, personified as a wild woman in white, carrying a sword and a smoking torch, rides over a ravaged landscape scattered with slaughtered human beings. Charred and grey, almost leafless trees are broken and crows are feeding on the entrails of dead bodies.

The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is a modern art museum on the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy, and is one of the most visited attractions in Venice. The museum was originally the private collection of the American heiress Peggy Guggenheim, who began displaying the artworks to the public seasonally in 1951.
After her death in 1979. it passed to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, which eventually opened the collection year-round. The collection is housed in the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, an 18th-century palace, which was Guggenheim's home.
Collection
The collection is principally based on the personal art collection of Peggy Guggenheim, a former wife of artist Max Ernst and a niece of the mining magnate, Solomon R. Guggenheim. She collected the artworks mostly between 1938 and 1946, buying works in Europe "in dizzying succession" as World War II began, and later in America, where she discovered the talent of Jackson Pollock, among others. The museum "houses an impressive selection of modern art. Its picturesque setting and well-respected collection attract some 400,000 visitors per year", making it "the most-visited site in Venice after the Doge's Palace". Works on display include those of prominent Italian futurists and American modernists. Pieces in the collection embrace Cubism, Surrealism and Abstract expressionism. During Peggy Guggenheim's 30-year residence in Venice, her collection was seen at her home in the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni and at special exhibitions in Amsterdam (1950), Zurich (1951), London (1964), Stockholm (1966), Copenhagen (1966), New York (1969) and Paris (1974).

Building and Venice Biennale
Entrance to Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Palazzo Venier dei Leoni
The collection is housed in the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, which Peggy Guggenheim purchased in 1949. Although sometimes mistaken for a modern building,it is an 18th-century palace designed by the Venetian architect Lorenzo Boschetti. The building was unfinished, and has an unusually low elevation on the Grand Canal. The museum's website describes it thus:
Palazzo Venier dei Leoni's long low façade, made of Istrian stone and set off against the trees in the garden behind that soften its lines, forms a welcome caesura in the stately march of Grand Canal palaces from the Accademia to the Salute.
The palazzo was Peggy Guggenheim's home for thirty years.
In 1951, the palazzo, its garden, now called the Nasher Sculpture Garden, and her art collection were opened to the public from April to October for viewing. Her collection at the palazzo remained open during the summers until her death in Camposampiero, northern Italy, in 1979; she had donated the palazzo and the 300-piece collection to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in 1976.
The foundation, then under the direction of Peter Lawson-Johnston, took control of the palazzo and the collection in 1979 and re-opened the collection there in April 1980 as the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.
After the Foundation took control of the building in 1979, it took steps to expand gallery space; by 1985,all of the rooms on the main floor had been converted into galleries ... the white Istrian stone facade and the unique canal terrace had been restored" and a protruding arcade wing, called the barchessa, had been rebuilt by architect Giorgio Bellavitis. Since 1985, the museum has been open year-round. In 1993, apartments adjacent to the museum were converted to a garden annex, a shop and more galleries.
In 1995, the Nasher Sculpture Garden was completed, additional exhibition rooms were added, and a café was opened. A few years later, in 1999 and in 2000, the two neighboring properties were acquired. In 2003, a new entrance and booking office opened to cope with the increasing number of visitors, which reached 350,000 in 2007. Since 1993, the museum has doubled in size, from 2,000 to 4,000 square meters.
Since 1985, the United States has selected the foundation to operate the U.S. Pavilion of the Venice Biennale, an exhibition held every other summer. In 1986, the foundation purchased the Palladian-style pavilion, built in 1930
Management and attendance
Philip Rylands was appointed director of the collection in 2000.[18] As of 2012, the collection was the most visited art gallery in Venice and the 11th most visited in Italy.
2014 lawsuit
Following the gift of works to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation by Hannelore and Rudolph Schulhof of Germany in 2012, works collected by Peggy Guggenheim were removed from the Palazzo and placed in storage to make room for the display of the new works.
The Schulhofs were honoured with inscriptions of their names alongside Guggenheim's at both entrances of the museum. Their son, Michael P. Schulhof, has been a trustee of the Guggenheim foundation since 2009.
In 2014, seven French descendants of Peggy Guggenheim sued the foundation for violating her will and agreements with the foundation, which they say require that the collection remain intact and on display. The descendants also claim, among other things, that the resting place of Guggenheim's ashes in the gardens of the Palazzo have been desecrated by the display of sculptures donated by Patsy and Raymond Nasher nearby and by the use of the burial site for fundraising parties.
The lawsuit requests that the founder's bequest be revoked or that the collections, gravesite and signage be restored. The foundation calls the lawsuit meritless. Other descendants of Peggy Guggenheim support the foundation.
Alexej von Jawlensky, Torschok, Russisches Kaiserreich 1865 - Wiesbaden 1941
Bildnis des Tänzers Alexander Sacharoff - Portrait of the dancer Alexander Sacharoff (1909)
Lenbachhaus, München
Im "Bildnis des Tänzers Alexander Sacharoff" begegnet zum ersten Mal das Motiv des frontalen, symmetrisch angelegten Porträts mit weit geöffneten Augen und einem eindringlichen Blick, die in den zunehmend typisierten Köpfen bis zum Ersten Weltkrieg zu einem zentralen Thema der Bilder Alexej Jawlenskys werden. Mit frappierender Direktheit blickt das Modell aus schwarz geschminkten Augen den Betrachter an. Dieser kann sich der Glut des Blicks, dem Angebot der Pose und dem Signalrot des Kleides wie des lächelnden Mundes kaum entziehen. Jawlensky hat den damals mit ihm eng befreundeten Balletttänzer Sacharoff mehrfach porträtiert, allein 1909 entstanden drei Bildnisse von ihm.
Nach Aussage von Clotilde von Derp-Sacharoff malte Jawlensky das vorliegende Bild spontan in weniger als einer halben Stunde, als der Tänzer ihn eines Abends vor dem Auftritt, bereits geschminkt und kostümiert, im Atelier besuchte. Sacharoff habe die noch feuchte Malpappe sofort mitgenommen, aus Angst, Jawlensky würde sie, wie sonst häufig der Fall, weiter überarbeiten. Nicht zuletzt deshalb wohl haben die zügigen, schwungvollen Linien vor dem skizzenhaften Hintergrund und die Faszination einer direkten persönlichen Präsenz des Modells nichts von ihrer Unmittelbarkeit und Frische eingebüßt. Das Androgyne der Erscheinung Sacharoffs muss dabei besonders anziehend auf Jawlensky gewirkt haben, der in den Serien seiner späteren "Köpfe" der zwanziger und dreißiger Jahre zunehmend alle individuellen Merkmale, auch die des Geschlechts, zugunsten einer schematisierten und meditativen Auffassung des menschlichen Gesichts auslöschen sollte

A recent pleasant trip to St. Andre Avelin Quebec. We build a garden shed and took in the garden, the wild flowers, the misty mornings. Always a pleasure.
I thought the multiple exposure incorporating the well and the meadow worked well.

Sculptures in wood by Albert Müller, Herman Scherer and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. Interesting to see these and how they related to their paintings and the primitivism that influenced there 2D art.
Leopold Museum - Anton Romako.
The Leopold Museum, housed in the Museumsquartier in Vienna , Austria , is home to one of the largest collections of modern Austrian art, featuring artists such as Egon Schiele, Gustav Klim , Oskar Kokoschka and Richard Gerstl . It contains the world's largest Egon Schiele Collection. The more than 5,000 exhibits collected by Elisabeth and Rudolf Leopold over five decades were consolidated in 1994 with the assistance of the Republic of Austria and the National Bank of Austria into the Leopold Museum Private Foundation. In 2001 the Leopold Museum was opened. The core of the collection consists of Austrian art of the first half of the 20th century, including key paintings and drawings by Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt, showing the gradual transformation from the Wiener Secession , the Art Nouveau /Jugendstil movement in Austria to Expressionism. The historical context is illustrated by major Austrian works of art from the 19th and 20th centuries.

I made these imaginal portraits of the rock bands CHICOSCI, FASPITCH, DEATH BY STEREO, SIN, and SWITCH by commission from Pulp magazine.
Original concept was to tie the entire feature with a big nod to German Expressionist cinema.

PULP magazine August 2006 issue features 15 exceptional Filipino rock bands who will compete for the WORLD BATTLE OF THE BANDS 2006.
Only one band will make it to the World Grand Finals to be held in Hongkong late this year.
It was a fun place for a young man who had always dreamed of Oriental beauty. The drinks were great, the service was special and the servers were beautiful. (By the way, it was okay to smoke in any of the bars.) While enlisted men made very little money compared to today's salaries, the exchange rate of 360 yen per dollar made the difference. Even a young man making $100 per month felt wealthy anywhere in Japan during the early 60s. What can I say? There will never be another time in history like this.
Sure, as one matures, these superficial joys disappear, but as one grows older, one sure wishes they could be recalled for a month or two, just for old time's sake.
