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
5) Soleil couchant

The Metropolitan Museum of Art
1000 Fifth Avenue. New York, New York 10028 USA
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.

Nuestra colaboradora en Rusia, Shura Kom nos envía esta ilustración de otro de sus Favoritos, el artista Ruso Chaim Soutine. Debo reconocer que no lo conocia, pero los invito a verlo ya que es un personaje súper potente y bastante adelantado a su epoca, una mezcla entre expresionita alemán, mezclado con Modigliani y Francis Bacon pero con 20 años de anterioridad.
Saludos a todos y Thanks to Shura!!!

Hello! My name is Shura. I already sent you my work (portrait of Vrubel).
This is the second one.
Name: Chaim Soutine
Birth date: January 13, 1893
Death date: August 9, 1943
Nationality: Russian-French

Chaim Soutine was born in Smilavichy, Russian Empire. But in Russia he is
little-known.
"His canvases often depict sad, lonely people with contorted faces in an
indefinable space, painted in a characteristically rough fashion, with
thick, impasto brushstrokes, expressionist deformations and bright
colours."
P.S.: It's very hard for me to write anything about Soutine in English.
Because he is very difficult painter. That's why I put in quotation.
Thanks for understanding.
Good bye.

Huile sur toile, 56 x 84 cm, 1920-1921, Tate modern, Londres.
Céret est une commune française située dans le sud de la France dans le département des Pyrénées-Orientales.
Après avoir travaillé de nombreuses années à Paris, Soutine réalise une série d'œuvres dans les villes du sud de la France. Le sujet et la coloration de cette œuvre ne sont pas loin de l'analyse sereine du paysage entreprise par Cézanne. Cependant, le traitement de la peinture dégage une qualité agitée et frénétique, suggérant une confrontation avec les forces terrestres de la nature. La ville chancelle sous l’énergie du peintre et semble se cabrer sur nous (cf. Tate, septembre 2004).
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.
Montmartre. Painters square. Place du Tertre.
De Place du Tertre ("Heuvelplein") is een beroemd pleintje in het hart van de Parijse wijk Montmartre en gelegen op korte afstand van de Sacré-Cœur, waar schilders, portrettekenaars en silhouetknippers aan het werk zijn. Men kan hier niet alleen landschapschilderijen kopen, maar ook een eigen portret of karikatuur laten maken. Het herinnert aan de tijd toen vele bekende kunstenaars hier leefden (onder anderen Pablo Picasso).
Deze plaats lokt nog altijd veel toeristen, die op de talrijke terrassen komen verpozen.
