An eclectic range from LA Ring’s fine realism, Paul Signac’s Pointillism and watercolours, Pierre Bonnard in Le Midi, to Marsden Hartley and Lesser Ury.
Ury
Some of Claude Monet’s series from 1903-04, Le Sidaner, Émile Claus, and ending with Lesser Ury from 1926. But there was a more sinister side to the fog and smog.
A variety of pubs, bars and cafés from Degas, Manet, Meunier, Lesser Ury, Carpentier, Jean Béraud, Sava Šumanović and Malcolm Drummond.
Crowds in the cities of Paris, Berlin with its new electric trams, and the rush hour in New York City. People, horse cabs, trams and early cars everywhere.
With Frits Thaulow in Norway, van Gogh in Arles, the construction of what is now the MusĂ©e d’Orsay in Paris, and what can happen a railway carriage.
From a saint’s integrated office, through tables with quills and ink-pots, to beautifully crafted furniture for the home office.
Paintings by Frits Thaulow, Emile Claus, Lesser Ury, Hans Andersen Brendekilde, Lovis Corinth, Tom Thomson and others. Brrrr!
Into the 20th century, fog became a popular compositional device. Examples from Monet, Pissarro, Vallotton, Hodler and others.
Views of France, from the island of Groix in the north-west, to Saint-Tropez in the south. By Signac, Bonnard, Vallotton, van Rysselberghe, and others.
Electric light on the banks of the Seine in Paris, and in the shopping centres of Berlin, herald the eternal light of today’s city centres.
