Perugino’s Madonnas are particularly attractive & would have been used in private chapels, of well to do Italians, for devotion. (The varnish on the Madonna has clouded the image). Madonna & Child (c1495), Madonna in Glory (1495-6) & St Sebastian (1495)

He returned to Perugia to paint the Adoration (c1476) there. Sixtus IV called him to Rome to paint frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. Some of these were later destroyed to allow Michelangelo paint over them. Christ Handing the Keys & details (Vatican, 1481-2) & Baptism (c1482)

Vladimir Tatlin (1911), Dancing Soldiers (1910), Rooster & Chicken (1912) & Woman against a background of Trees (1910). One emotion barrels from his canvases & that is joy!

He staged The Golden Fleece exhibition in Moscow in 1908. This brought the work of Matisse, Gaugin & Van Gogh to the city. He clearly studied their work intently. Self-Portrait (c1907), Peacock (1907) & Morning in the Barracks (1910)

By 1902 he was painting in an Impressionist manner. Flowers on a Veranda (1902), Reclining Nude (1902), Natalia Goncharova (1907). Goncharova would figure in many of his pictures.

One of my favourite images by him is Mr Joyant who is doughtily depicted with his gun. It’s apparent that TL, a man who kept birds as pets he walked, was on the side of the ducks. La Modiste (1900), The Bartender (1900), Messalina (1900) & Maurice Joyant At the Duckshoot (1900)

Another great love was the circus, where he distilled the scene down to the edge of caricature in order to highlight the dynamic & the surreal. The Jockey (1899), Au Rat Mort (1899), Le Coucher (1899) & At the Circus (1899)

He suffered from alcoholism & in 1899 he collapsed from it as well as exhaustion. His family committed him to an asylum where he drew circus portraits. The Motograph (1898), Louis Bouglé (1898), At the Races (1899) & At the Circus: Work in a Ring (1899)

He travelled to London & immersed himself in the arts there - even becoming friends with Oscar Wilde. Wilde (1895), Madame Cha-u-ka-o (1896), Alone (1896) & Programme for Wilde’s Salomé (1896). It is entirely typical of the man that he would fight Oscar’s corner.

His art seems to be about searching, whether for joy or hope. Even when the subject is melancholy there is a tenderness. Abandonment (1895), Hanging Man (1895), Two Friends (1895) & Tristan Bernard (1895)
