Some more favourites from the RA’s beautiful PAINTING THE FRENCH RIVIERA show. There’s something for everyone here. #Art #ArtSky

Marc Chagall
Table Before the Village, 1968
Oil on canvas
For the last thirty-six years of his life, Russian-born Marc Chagall resided in the South of France. The abundance of the picnic in the foreground, the joyful lovers floating on a bird and the brilliant azure sky underscore the sense of refuge Chagall found in his final home on the Mediterranean.
Private collection

Raoul Dufy
Open Window, Nice, 1928
Oil on canvas
Mitchell and Christine Clarfield

Henri Matisse
The Divan, 1921
Oil on canvas
Both The Divan and Interior at Nice (on view nearby) show a hotel room inhabited by one or two figures and decorated with patterned wallpaper, tiled floors and French windows with shutters, through which we see the Mediterranean. In each, the room is depicted like a box seen from above. The window acts as a painting within the painting, blurring the distinction between inside and outside. Matisse explained his sustained interest in the subject: Windows have always interested me because they are a passageway between the exterior and the interior'
Musée de l'Orangerie, Paris,
Jean Walter and Paul Guillaume Collection

Pierre Bonnard
Palm Trees at Le Cannet, 1924
Oil on canvas
Manchester City Galleries, Purchased with the assistance of the Victoria and Albert Museum Purchase Grant Fund, 1987

I love me a stage school book, and recently discovered a new and excellent one (from the 1960s, mind) via readers of my blog. The Ballet Twins by Jean Estoril clothesinbooks.blogspot.com/2026/10/they...

When I first saw this @deanstpress.bsky.social release, I thought it was ABOUT a will, making it a fit for this week's #MurderEveryMonday
but since the title is BY a Will, that's close enough, I think 😁 #Reading #Booksky #Mystery
