Ich oute mich als Monet-Fan. Ja, er ist weder tiefgründig noch intellektuell. Aber ich genieße einfach die Farben und die Heiterkeit in den Gemälden. Sein "Impression, Soleil Levant" dürfte eines der bekanntesten Bilder des Malers sein und darum geht es heute auch im Blog:

Your art history post for today: by Sidney Goodman, Bride Profile, 1962, charcoal on paper, sheet: 28 1⁄2 x 22 1⁄2 in. (72.4 x 57.2 cm), Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Renwick Gallery, Washington, DC. #arthistory
From another institution, the Woodmere Art Museum, Philadelphia: ‘Goodman was one of the most respected figurative artists in America. He participated in and helped shape the return to figuration and realism that occurred in the 1960s. Not one to skirt issues, Goodman’s work tackled heavy concepts. His artistic career started within expressionism and conveying angst within the human condition, then transitioned towards realistic work, and eventually steered towards expressionistic work once more, toward allegory. Goodman explained that his works take on two primary concepts, "One is about shades of ambiguity and clarity. The other is about richness of light and color. The physical and spiritual realms of human experience merge through the forms of light and darkness. The sense of continuity from youth to old age is reflected by a preoccupation with global events. A concurrent theme is the everyday, the routine, the beauty of the commonplace."’

Your art history post for today: War Bride, 1940, by Clarence Holbrook Carter (1904–2000, oil on canvas, 36 × 54 in (91.44 × 137.16 cm), Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A steel mill as a cathedral. #oilpainting #art #arthistory #painting
From the museum: “Clarence Holbrook Carter was inspired to paint War Bride after visiting a Pittsburgh steel mill. He recalled: That night I dreamed I painted a picture that was very vivid in my mind....Some of the girls in my senior painting classes were getting married before the boys would be leaving to go into the coming war. This got mixed into my dream painting of the steel mill, which became the sanctuary.
His surreal pairing of a hulking steel press with an anonymous young bride conveys the effects of the impending World War II on daily life - among them hastily arranged marriages that often ended in widowhood. The artist's substitution of a machine for a groom serves as an ominous reminder of the human casualties at the heart of all wars, and the role of the military-industrial complex in perpetuating them”
