At this time, Picasso was in his “African Period,” producing primitive works influenced by African sculpture and masks. Like Braque's Post-Impressionist paintings, these pieces played with form (and sometimes color), but remained figurative....
I for one prefer his earlier work, with its romantic and impressionist overtures from a bygone age. Apparently he's also been accused of illegally casting bronze acquired from the Resistance for his statues, to the mild irritation of the Orpo; which while very obviously being illegal is a ...
There are many paths to fame in the Renaissance, the period of artistic development and renewed wealth and education that lasted from the late 14th-16th centuries. Fame was a major part of Italian life and art in the Renaissance, so brace yourself for the paparazzi because here we go!
Homer shows us a foggy morning at the beach, capturing the quality of light on the strand at Cullercoats, Tyne and Wear, England. He paints the background with an impressionist’s eye and gives us realistic portraits of the working women whose labors fed the country. The fish baskets are ...
The art world responded with luminous paintings, many created outdoors. All well-known Impressionist painters are represented among the 150 works of the exhibition. There is a small version of Georges Seurat’s iconic view of the Grande Jatte with its bustle-wearing ladies, sun-worshipping city-...

The Impressionist galleries have some great views of the city. I’m not the only one who figured out that the views weren’t so bad. The old train station clock makes a great look-out. One of our favorite portions of the museum was the Art Nouveau section. We were pretty much the on...
work–from the translucent skin of a lily to the arched torso of a black male–represented him, his vision of the world. Just as Pollock hated being called an Abstract Expressionist and Manet deplored the title Impressionist, Robert never wanted to be pegged. Not even as a photographer. ...
