Paintings by Paul Signac, Claude Monet, Félix Vallotton, Millet, John Singer Sargent, Maurice Denis, and others.
Vallotton
Perseus kills the sea monster, and marries Andromeda as his reward. Phineus and his friends turn nasty at their wedding, and are turned to stone, and how the couple became constellations.
After marrying her cousin, the couple entertained Proust, Mallarmé, Gide, Debussy, and were patrons of Monet, Renoir, Odilon Redon, Signac and Toulouse-Lautrec.
Domestic interiors that aren’t quite right, a woman’s black silhouette that seems to absorb light, a colour-coded account of Perseus rescuing Andromeda, and his last landscapes.
A field deserted during the harvest, crosses packing the war cemetery at Châlons, Susanne being blackmailed, the château above Les Andelys, and more.
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.
Stories retold differently from Perseus and Andromeda, the Rape of Europa, and some atmospheric landscapes of Honfleur in snow and fog.
More mysterious interiors and cupboard views, a group portrait of the Nabis, and two of his models taking a break.
Eclectic and mysterious paintings first in academic style, then Naturalist, a few years as the ‘foreign Nabi’ before painting unusual landscapes.
The harvest painted by Anna Ancher, Lhermitte, Adrian Stokes, Nikolai Astrup, John Linnell, Félix Vallotton, PS Krøyer, Gérôme, and others.
