Dr Robert Bohanさんのイラストまとめ

He treated his sitters with enormous empathy & respect. There is even a sense we are invading a private intimacy. Trodden Weed (1951), Faraway (1951), Miss Olson (1952) & The Olson House (1954)

He had his first one man exhibit in NY (1937). The Bobsled (1937), Under the Live Oaks (1937), House on Winter Hill (1938) & Self-Portrait (1938)

Life was hard for him & he took odd jobs whilst practising his art. In the 1920s his abilities were finally recognised in his being commissioned to paint a mural for Rotterdam Town Hall (1923). Money was still hard to come by.

WWII in the UK was for ‘all out war’ & so food, jobs, property, transport, business, manufacturing & farming were all controlled from the centre. That sounds closer to the Communism of Marx than the autocracy of Lenin/Stalin.

He died in 1883, aged 51. His painting style is endlessly fascinating in integrating the lighting of photography, and Impressionism into modern art. Flowers (nd) & The Milliner (nd). Although relatively minor I do love his flowerpieces. Go look at him again! A pivotal artist.

He painted The Railway in 1873. It too met with confusion. On the Beach (1873) & Boating (1874). Railways were still new & the height of modernity. The painting has been interpreted in many ways. Manet painted many boring shipping scenes (I’ve left them out).

From 1867-9 he painted works devoted to the French intervention in Mexico with his Execution of the Emperor Maximilian. Versions of the work date from 1867-8. These works show he was inspired by Goya’s famous firing squad.

He married in 1863 & became friends with Degas, Monet, Renoir, Sisley, Cézanne & Pissarro thru his friend Berthe Morisot. She got him to paint en plein air & was his sister-in-law. Vase of Peonies (1864), The Reading (c1865-73) & The Fifer (1866)

In 1856 he opened his own studio & painted in a Realist manner influenced by Courbet. Woman with Jug (1858-60), Boy with Cherries (1859) & Surprised Nymph (1859-61). Photography had become available in 1850s France & Manet appears to have studied how photographs present reality.
