With The Works Of The Masters

This is an oil painting by Paul Cezanne, entitled Road At Auvers-sur-Oise, painted circa 1873-74. Cezanne had moved to the small village at the time.


Vincent Van Gogh painted this, simply titled Iris, in 1890.


Here we have Rock Needle Seen Through The Porte d'Aval, Etretat, painted in 1886. It is one of the Gallery's oil paintings by the master, Claude Monet.


This last one might shock the Sisters Of Little Or No Mercy. It's by Henri Matisse, an oil painting titled Nude On A Yellow Sofa. It was done in 1926.

  6. There are more copies of Van Gogh's Iris than most :) 1926 was the time of the artistic nude, this one is particularly voluptuous William :)

  7. Interesting to see photos from the end of the 1800's and then one in the 1920's. I'd never noticed the expression on the woman's face in the Matisse. Wonder what she is thinking!

  8. The Van Gogh makes me think of the exhibit I visited up in Massachusetts last year.

  9. @Linda: he is a great one.

    @Tomas: they certainly are.

    @Halcyon: indeed!

    @Gracita: thank you!

    @Geoff: if only!

    @Grace: Vincent did seem to paint them often.

    @Janis: "is there a draft in here?"

  10. I am no 'sister of Little or no Mercy', but the Matisse is quite ugly... The first three are simply amazing: great collection!

  13. It impresses me when I see a piece of art done by Monet and other famous painters.

  14. @Revrunner: I've always liked Van Gogh's style.

    @VP: I think Matisse is starting to get into the era when art becomes less appealing to me personally. I do like this one, but the style was moving in a different direction. I have a stronger reaction to Picasso, of whom the Gallery has two or three works. I get that it's art, but Picasso really doesn't appeal to me.

    @Tanya: thanks!

    @Luis: you're welcome.

    @Sharon: it certainly does.

    @Red: the Monet's my favourite of these. His style really stands out so well.

  20. @Cloudia: you're welcome!

    @Tamago: I figured showing a Van Gogh was a good idea.

    @Denise: thanks!

    @EG: they all did.

    @Ciel: indeed!

    @Norma: I'll have to look for a Degas next time.

    @RedPat: indeed!

    @Lauren: those are classes I never took.

    @Jennifer: have fun!

    @Tex: thanks!

  21. These are all wonderful paintings by great artists.

  22. Now these are my kind of paintings.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Lovely! I really like all the frames on these paintings too.

    ReplyDelete
  24. These are all familiar names. We have Gustove Ciabollette on display here at The Kimbell.(sp). He was a wonderful French impressionist, but he was wealthy and didn't sell his paintings....so most folks haven't heard of him. He died young and left his paintings to Renior . We are going to Paris in the Spring. Looking forward to the museums.

  25. @Jan: I quite agree.

    @Beth: that one is lovely.

    @Susan: mine too.

    @Gill: that does seem popular.

    @Lois: yes, they've been well framed!

    @Mari: thanks!

    @Janey: I'll have to look him up.

  26. Quite a nice collection. I sometimes wonder how many paintings these artists made so that every major museum has a couple and some have many.

  27. Wonderful works of art William. My favourite is the Cezanne - it makes me want to walk on down that road.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I'm always excited to see Impressionist works. I love Monet but I'm also partial to Van Gogh flowers. Nice selection!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I like the pictures but the last one. Truly I would not display the last one on my wall but back in those years. They admired a women's body nude back then. As a very unique painting of pleasure.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Wonderful art collection by masters. I love the charming simplicity of Van Gogh's 'Iris'.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Are these pieces on permanent display there? If so, they appear to have quite a collection.

    ReplyDelete
  32. @Jack: they would have been quite productive.

    @Dianne: it's a terrific painting.

    @Kay: thank you!

    @Carolann: thanks.

    @Gemma: so do I.

    @Pat: yes, the permanent galleries keep these ones out on display. Every once in awhile a painting will get some time off in the vaults, though.
