Paul Nash moved from being an army officer to being a war artist during the First World War. This 1918 painting is titled Void.
Coming back out into the main space, this area has at its heart a mobile sculpture hanging from the ceiling. Jacaranda is by Alexander Calder, dating to 1949.
The Small Table is a 1919 canvas by Picasso.
The Pianist is a 1915 painting by Liubov Popova.
And we finish today with Red Nude, by Marcel Duchamp, a 1910 work. Tomorrow we wrap up this visit.
The very powerful abstract arts!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely.
Delete'The pianist' is a wonderful artwork.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI am not sure if I love abstract art but I do like it. William your comments are no longer publishing on my blog and I don't know why. I can see them under comments on blogger but they are not appearing under my blog posts. I just noticed this today, it has been like this for a few weeks. I just wanted to let you know since you might think I am deleting or not approving your comments and this is not the case. Other people's comments are appearing as normal.
ReplyDeleteWhat's been happening for several months is that blogger is shunting real comments into spam. You'd have to go into the spam folder and that's where they can be found.
DeleteI like "The Pianist" - a work I'd never seen before. I would have thought it would have been "stolen" for the cover of a jazz album before now!
ReplyDeleteI can see that.
DeleteThe pianist looks quite wonderful, but I can barely imagine having the kind of mind that would come up with it!
ReplyDeleteIt's eccentric.
DeleteThe Pianist sure speaks to me. I gave up playing cause with a metronome it got confusing...
ReplyDeleteMy father would occasionally use one.
Delete...I love the Calder mobile.
ReplyDeleteIt stands out.
Deletei enjoy the art ...that ceiling is way cool. makes the space feel so super large. ( ;
ReplyDeleteIt does.
DeleteThe Calder mobile is right there where curious hands can touch it...a risky thing for the museum to have done.
ReplyDeleteWhat the pictures don't show is the security guard always in proximity to it.
DeleteThe title Void is so apt for war. A veteran's honest perspective.
ReplyDeleteVery much so.
DeleteI love Calder's work. Wish I had one. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHe's very creative.
Delete'Void' says so much about war ~ other great artworks too ~

Thank you.
DeleteI like the mobile sculpture, it's unique.
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteThe mobile sculptures are pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteI really like Picasso's ones, they always make me think and look really hard.
ReplyDeleteI can see that.
DeleteFunny how Picasso is so recognizable!
ReplyDeleteTrue!
DeleteThe heart mobile is wonderful:)
ReplyDeleteI think so.
DeleteI like Red more than I thought I would.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good one.
DeleteMore stunning views of the gallery.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI'm not a big fan of Picasso but I rather like this one.
ReplyDeleteThe Gallery has a series by Picasso that I've seen once. Essentially a series of images on panels with a mythology basis, as I recall. Some are very Picasso, others are more realistic.
