I do not draw what a thing is. I draw what it does. A wing is not a shape, it is an argument with the air.

Surf by Ivan Aivazovsky, 1893, State Museum-reserve "Rostov Kremlin" (Rostov, Russia)

#ArtHistory #Romanticism

Light defines the turbulent surface of the ocean. Crashing waves form a relentless procession toward the shore, their crests illuminated and their depths plunged in shadow. A distant coastline recedes into a hazy blue horizon, anchored by a solitary sailing vessel and faint, smaller boats. The rapid, gestural application of light across the water's agitated surface generates a palpable sense of kinetic energy. This luminous dynamism captures the untamed spirit of the sea, a force that captivated Romantic artists. The atmospheric haze enveloping the distance and speaks to the era's fascination with the sublime and the vastness of nature. This painterly dissolution of forms in the distance contrasts with the sharp articulation of the forearound surf. The meticulous rendering of light as it breaks and scatters across each wave captures a fleeting moment of intense power. This focus on elemental forces resonated with a period characterized by burgeoning industrialization and a renewed appreciation for the natural world's awe-inspiring might. The broad expanse of sky, filled with shifting clouds, further amplifies this sense of nature's overwhelming presence. The composition, therefore, confronts the viewer with the raw, elemental power of the sea. Aivazovsky was a leading fiqure in Russian Romanticism, and "Surf" exemplifies the movement's focus on emotional intensity, the sublime power of nature, and individual experience. His work emerged during a period of growing national consciousness in Russia and a fascination with the sea, particularly within the context of Russia's naval expansion and maritime history. He was a key figure in establishing marine painting as a distinct genre within Russian art moving away from purely historical or portraiture subjects. The mid-19th century saw a rise in landscape painting across Europe, influenced by Romantic ideals and the increasing accessibility of travel and outdoor observation.

By Colombian artist Fernando Botero (1932-2023), The Musicians, 1979, oil on canvas, 85 ½ x 74 ¾ in. (217.2 x 189.9 cm.), ©️Fernando Botero, photo: Christie’s New York, 9 Nov 2023. #arthistory #painting #oilpainting

Excerpts from the lot essay: “Lit from above by a constellation of lights, a group of musicians are neatly arranged, each poised at the ready, in picture-perfect position, about to impress their audience with an undoubtedly well-rehearsed tune. Musicians take pride of place in Botero’s oeuvre as one of the artist’s most celebrated subjects… Drawing from a range of artistic influences, Botero approaches the time-honored theme of the musical performance from both local and international perspectives… With The Musicians, Botero finds the perfect melody between past and present, humor and celebration, reflecting on the enduring pastimes that sustain community.”

September's theme: Labor
ROMARE BEARDEN (1911 - 1986), “Factory Workers”, 1942. Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minnesota, US.
This is an early piece by Romare Bearden, who had participated in his first public exhibit just two years earlier in 1940.
#arthistory #art #Labor #RomareBearden

This is an early piece by Romare Bearden, who had participated in his first public exhibit just two years earlier in 1940. Even at this early stage, he displayed a confident use of color and an interest and activism regarding Civil Rights, interests that remained throughout his life. “Factory Workers” was made to accompany an article in the June 1942 issue of Fortune magazine. The article, entitled “The Negro’s War”, advocated for full social and financial integration in the US workforce. In “Factory Workers”, Bearden portrayed African-American men who have been denied jobs at a steel mill due to their race. The artist used water-soluble pigments on brown paper for this depiction; the medium produces clear, vibrant colors that Bearden applied in large swaths without adding a lot of extraneous detail. As he continued to mature as an artist, Bearden moved into greater abstraction with his presentation; in the 1950s, he mastered compositions using collage and photo-montage techniques. Bearden, as a child, had been part of the Great Migration of African-Americans moving from southern states (his family moved from North Carolina) to northern states (the Beardens settled in New York City) in search of greater opportunity and less racial oppression. He continued his family’s quest for social justice in Harlem, where he was a founder and integral part of Spiral (a collective for African-American artists), established Cinque Gallery (for emerging African-American artists) and became a founding member of the Black Academy of Arts and Letters (to promote African-American cultural achievement).

Crow on a Cherry Branch by Ohara Koson, c. 1910, National Museum of Asian Art (Smithsonian) (Washington, DC)

#ArtHistory #ModernArt #ShinHanga #WoodblockPrint

A solitary crow or jungle crow rests quietly upon a flowering cherry branch. In Japanese folklore, crows are often viewed with deep cultural significance or as messengers of the gods. The design features delicate cherry blossoms contrasted against the deep, dark plumage of the bird—sometimes burnished with a lacquer-like black finish—set against an atmospheric, softly-graded background (bokashi shading) depicting a moonlit or softly lit sky.

Impressionists were radical and revolutionary, painting subjects that were truer to their experience of life.

They left behind the evidence of their creation and made art that looked less 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 but more 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦.
