Demuth
He didn’t paint much in pastels until he was in his fifties, but for the last 20 years of his life he made many highly original works in their pure colour.
A trip round the painter’s palette, with outstanding examples of well-known colours in use. Starts with yellow, then to red and finally to blue.
Landscapes from Lovis Corinth, Pierre Bonnard, Georg Janny, Anita Rée, Charles Demuth, and the last word from Piet Mondrian.
Probably the original still life theme, and always a popular one, examples from Fantin-Latour, Bazille, van Gogh, and poignant paintings by Lovis Corinth and Charles Demuth.
After his severe stroke, Lovis Corinth used still lifes to learn to paint with his right hand. Charles Demuth found solace in them when recovering from acute diabetic complications.
In 1885, it was Monet’s first test of his new method of painting the same motif in different light, weather and seasons. He later used this for his Grainstacks and Rouen Cathedral series.
Life behind the scenes of a circus was less than idyllic. Owners often cared little for performers, and animals were treated cruelly. Painted insights from Degas, Renoir, and others.
The finest landscapes, from Marsden Hartley, Pierre Bonnard, Ferdinand Hodler, and others in 1918.
Narrative works by Corinth, Klimt, and others; figurative work by the same two, Schiele and Munch.
