Thread: Edvard Munch (1863-1944) died on this day. He is the most well known Norwegian painter & his painting The Scream is world famous for capturing the angst of humanity. Let’s take a look at this great painter...

By 1899 he lived in Prestfoss with his family. Stooks of Grain in Moonlight (c1900), Creepy, Crawly, Rustling, Bustling (1900), Up in the Hills (1900) & 12 Wild Ducks (1897)

An image of how the artist wanted to be seen is the laidback Kittelsen in his hammock as a pig eats his art supplies! Krigen Mellom Froskene Og Musene (1885), The Sea Troll (detail, 1887), Self-Portrait (1888) & Peer Gynt (1890)

He was given a state scholarship in 1882 to study in Paris. He was back in Norway, for good, from 1887. He spent two years in Lofoten. Echo (1888), Self-Portrait (1891), Skogtroll (1890) & In the Waiting Room (1883)

His images shine with fun & mystery. It’s clear he loved drawing them! A Water Troll who Eats Only Young Girls (1881), Interior from a Small Town. (1881), Buttercup (1882) & Golden Bird (1883)

François Boucher (c1751) depicts the courtesan Mademoiselle O’Murphy in this drawing. A girl of Irish extraction she holds the laurels for possibly being the most famous Irish woman in art. The drawing is a new acquisition- for comparison here’s the finished picture (in Cologne)

Thread: The National Gallery of Ireland is one of the finest collections of art, with a rich & superb collection. Artists represented range from Vermeer to Velázquez. The gallery has recently reopened, take a look & book a visit!

Still Life with Azaleas & Apples (1937), Divers (1838, design for subway station), Runner (1936) & Nikitka- the First Russian Pilot (1940) show the diversity of Deyneka’s subjects & his facility with creating iconic images.

He was a founder of several major Soviet art movements including Oktyabr. He was ranked by the USSR as ‘1a World Famous Artist’. Portrait (1935) & Nude studies however indicate that his first love was always the naked body. His male nudes, given the repression, are surprising

A Pioneer, Kursk (1934), Crimean Pioneers (1934) & a Parachutist Above the Sea (1934). Deyneka approached his compositions with great originality & verb. He had an authentic empathy with children, painting them without sentimentality. The parachutist is a unique composition
