A Saturday to pamper myself before setting off for Paris.

In the morning, self-care; this afternoon, an activity I’m passionate about: drawing. 🍂✏️

Nurturing the physical self and stimulating the artistic side is a journey inward.

By 19th century African-American/Canadian artist Edward Mitchell Bannister (1828-1901), Walking Through a Field, ca. 1870–1880’s, oil on canvas, 22x42 inches, photo: Lincoln Glenn Gallery, New York. #art #arthistory #blackart #blackartist #BlackHistory

From the museum: ‘The painting's bucolic imagery of agricultural workers walking along picturesque paths, tracks and roads~ across crop fields and pasture land, up gentle hills, by rivers, or through shaded woodland is a constant throughout all phases of the artists career, reflecting not only his long-term aesthetic allegiance to American and French Barbizon, but also his childhood roots in Canada, where he helped with livestock on the Hatch farm in the timber town of Saint Andrews, and his close artistic, en plein air engagement with the New England agrarian landscape. In this work Bannister employs a compositional theme of the rural track, depicting both groups and solitary farm workers, and other country folk, some driving sheep or cows. The artist depicts his figures with wood cutting tools to identify characters' hands to identify their specific type of labor and to underline their rusticity. Edward Mitchell Bannister was one of the few African American painters of the nineteenth century to win significant recognition. He grew up on the coast in New Brunswick, and spent several months working as a ship's cook. He lost both his parents when he was young and moved to Boston, where he took sculpture classes and learned photography. Bannister faced an uphill battle to become a professional artist. In 1867 the New York Herald stated that "the Negro seems to have an appreciation of art" but went on to assert that blacks were "manifestly unable to produce it" (Driskell, Two Centuries of Black American Art, 1976). Bannister decided to prove the article wrong and in 1876 achieved his goal when one of his paintings won a medal at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition. When he arrived to claim his prize, however, he was refused entry because he was black. Bannister was a founder and member of the Providence Art Club and was an original board member of the Rhode Island School of Design.‘

Lovely Pre-Raphaelite image: Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s "Dante’s Dream at the Time of the Death of Beatrice" — a haunting, symbol-rich scene with luminous color, delicate figures, and emblematic roses. See the artwork: buff.ly/xKPH8Fg #PreRaphaelites #ArtHistory

If you cannot draw it, you do not understand it. Visualization is not decoration. It is thinking.

October's theme: Japanese Ghost Stories
KATSUKAWA SHUNSHŌ (1726 – 1793), “The Actors Danjuro V as a Skeleton and Hanshiro IV as Princess Sakura”, 1783. Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois US.
Story is in ALT.
#arthistory #art #Japan #GhostStories

The full title of this woodblock print is “The Actors Ichikawa Danjuro V as a Skeleton, Spirit of the Renegade Monk Seigen and Iwai Hanshiro IV as Princess Sakura, in the Joruri ‘Sono Omokage Matsu I Sakura (Vestiges of Pine and Cherry)’, from Part Two of the Play Edo no Hana Mimasu Soga (Flower of Edo: An Ichikawa Saga), Performed at the Nakamura Theater from the First Day of the Second Month, 1783”. The Japanese love of ghost stories found an outlet not only in woodblock art prints but also in Kabuki theater productions. In this scene, Shunshō gives us the story of Seigen, a Buddhist monk, who was expelled from his temple because of a forbidden love affair. Seigen died alone and in poverty and held an enormous grudge about how he was treated. He returned as a tormented (and tormenting) spirit that obsessively stalked Princess Sakura. The artist Shunshō shows Seigen (in Kabuki, Seigen is often a skeleton) accosting Princess Sakura, who cringes in her cherry blossom robes. On stage, the actor was costumed in a black layer with white bones painted on the surface. Shunshō helpfully placed an actor’s crest on Seigen’s shoulder so that we know, in this performance, the role was being played by Ichikawa Danjuro V, one of the most famous of all Kabuki actors. The renegade monk Seigen is an onryō, a subgroup of yūrei that are vengeful ghosts.

Seurat painted this in 1887–88, when Parisian circus acts fed a new culture of mass entertainment. Yet the scene feels less like an invitation than a study of what spectacle asks of its performers. What do you think they are waiting for?

The Gleaners — a powerful, iconic 1857 Millet painting of three French peasant women gleaning grain. A compassionate, unflinching study of rural labor and social inequality that influenced Realist and Impressionist artists. See it: buff.ly/tWLy497 #ArtHistory

From the 103rd floor of Sears Tower straight to the scariest portraits in town.
I went from Van Gogh's intense 1887 self-portrait right into Ivan Albright's rotting flesh "Picture of Dorian Gray" canvas from the film.
