By Thomas Hart Benton (1889-1975), “Ozark Autumn, 1949, oil and tempera on board, photo: Christie's New York, 21 May 2015. #arthistory #painting #oilpainting #art From the lot essay: “Benton’s sympathetic depictions of the toiling farmer are perhaps his most celebrated works.”

From the lot essay: "Ozark Autumn presents a group of farmers laboriously harvesting corn by hand. Benton focuses on the dignity and exertion of the men as they endure backbreaking labor without the aid of machinery... Benton integrates the figures into the landscape, with the human form mimicking the curves of the rolling hills and the ominous sky... The dynamism of the work can also be credited to Benton's study of the twisting compositions of Mannerist and Baroque artists like Jacopo Pontormo and El Greco. The impression of the sculpture-like painted figures in Michelangelo's paintings he saw at the Louvre would also remain with Benton and inspire the almost tactile elements in his paintings... Benton imbues Ozark Autumn with a sense of motion through his use of sinuous line, expressive brushwork and rich color, and as is typical of Benton's paintings, the composition has a spiraling configuration, which pulls each individual element into a unifying scheme of visual rhythm. Ozark Autumn is a masterwork of Benton's signature Regionalist style depicting the picturesque landscape and the inhabitants of his native Midwest.”

In December 1895, the Lumière brothers held the first paid public screening of their Cinématographe in the Salon Indien of the Grand Café in Paris: ten short films, including workers leaving their factory. A new art form flickered to life. #ArtHistory

Sat down with FOX to talk Rappin Max, created by Eric Orr, and why sharing Black & Brown creators’ stories matters. That’s what LBO Collective is about. Sold out, but the waitlist is open. Link in bio.

October's theme: Japanese Ghost Stories
TORIYAMA SEKIEN (1712 – 1788), “Kintoki and Demons Arm Wrestling” from unidentified book, c. 1788. Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA.
Kintoki was raised by a mountain witch and grew up wrestling bears and other beasts.
#arthistory #art #Japan #Yokai

Kintoki (also known as Kintaro) was raised by a mountain witch and grew up wrestling bears and other beasts. His superhuman strength was his claim to fame. As an adult, Kintoki served the famous samurai Minamoto no Yorimitsu and hunted down wicked demons (oni). The artist Senkien followed in the footsteps of Sawaki Suushi and produced volumes cataloguing a hit parade of demon images. Senkien’s demons came from literature and folklore, like Suushi’s images, but he also made up some of his own supernatural characters. Kintoki was a mythical hero figure with a yokai (supernatural beings) connection, due to his witchy upbringing.

Benczur's Narcissus — a haunting 19th-century work by Gyula Benczur. The evocative scene uses reflective water and melancholic detail to probe vanity, longing and self‑obsession. See: buff.ly/BXjwWdi #ArtHistory

Vincent van Gogh painted Roses at Saint-Rémy in 1890, shortly before leaving the asylum. If you see it as a farewell to confinement—not simply a study of flowers—the calm feels more hard-won. What emotion do you find first?

Gregorio Lazzarini’s Sacrifice of Isaac an early 18th-century portrayal of the attempted Sacrifice of Isaac by Father Abraham. The painting heightens drama with intense emotion and Baroque light and shadow; a powerful study of faith and mercy. buff.ly/M1kvfjv #ArtHistory
