Autumn by Frederic Edwin Church, 1875, Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza (Madrid, Spain)

#ArtHistory #Romanticism #HudsonRiverSchool

"Autumn" depicts a bend in the river with the changing hues of the season. A warm, misty background light suffuses the entire scene, which is framed by a large tree on the left and a single rock on the right bank. The vegetation that covers the rocks and tree trunks ranges in tone from green to red and is reflected in the waters of the river. The painting was probably commissioned by William Henry Osborn, a friend and collector of Church’s work who shared the artist’s fascination with nature. Created during the height of the Hudson River School movement (mid-19th century), a distinctly American art genre that focused on romantic depictions of the American landscape. It emerged as a response to European landscape traditions, seeking to celebrate the unique beauty and vastness of the American wilderness. The painting reflects the Romantic era's emphasis on emotion, individualism, and the sublime power of nature. It also foreshadows the later development of American Impressionism in its attention to light and atmosphere.

A scene of suspended intimacy: the young woman, absorbed and oblivious to the viewer, focuses her gaze on a space beyond the frame that sets the narrative in motion.

The painting transforms the everyday into contemplation.

The Spanish Ballet by Édouard Manet, 1862, Phillips Collection (Washington, DC)

#ArtHistory #ModernArt #Realism

The Spanish Ballet reflects the fascination with Spanish art and culture manifest in Manet’s work in the late 1850s and throughout the 1860s. His exploration of these romantic stereotypes reflected the exotic allure of things Spanish that had been popular in France as far back as the 1830s. In 1862, Manet fell under the spell of a troupe of Spanish dancers from the Royal Theater of Madrid, headed by the veteran and principal dancer Don Mariano Camprubi, who had first excited Paris audiences in 1834 dancing the bolero. Camprubi’s company had a successful season at the Paris Hippodrome from August to November 1862, sharing the bill with a group of equestrians. During that period Manet arranged for several of the principal dancers in the troupe to pose for him at the studio of his friend Alfred Stevens. A number of paintings of Spanish themes and entertainers stem from this arrangement, including this painting which shows the principal dancers of the Royal Theater of Madrid on stage, as if in a performance. Duncan Phillips’s enthusiasm for this work was born of his recognition that Manet was one of the pivotal sources of modern art. Phillips was particularly interested in the early Manet, and he responded stongly to the romantic and expressionistic qualities of Spanish Ballet, as well as to its bold step toward abstraction. Phillips delighted in the painting’s unexpected color accents and linear patterning, its “reduced modeling, arbitrary lighting,” and its “frieze of figures in one plane.”

Driven by these questions, the work results in a highly erotic, almost psychedelic world where personal fears, loves and intimacies are depicted.

His intriguing and expressive use of pencil lines and colour reflects these introspective fascinations and obsessions. What does it mean to understand others? Can we survive without being connected with others?
