Dr Robert Bohanさんのイラストまとめ

Clarke illustrated a number of works including Faust, Poe & fairy tales. He combined elements of Irish horror, Celtic design & astonishing invention.

1922-3 saw him work on a mural called Stages of Existence [now in Erfurt].

In WWI Heckel joined a medical unit as a volunteer & later with the common disillusionment of thinking Germans he joined the Novembergruppe.

Francis Bacon (1909-92) was a great Irish artist who captured the horror, disaster & evil of the 20th century with its catastrophic oppression & wars. He was a nihilist, an exile & a gay man in an era of destruction (self portraits, 1970 & 1973)

His work includes this depiction of an American GI ‘assignation’, cruising in Connemara & post-coital slumber. Astonishingly modern subjects for an Irish artist during a period of excessive intolerance & religious oppression in the Irish theocracy of the day.

Goya (1746-1828) painted El Sueño in about 1800. It has a clear relationship with the Majas. The work is a study of a sleeping woman where his subtle brushwork allows the eye to imagine one can see her breathing. When purchased the Irish media called it pornographic!

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)

Poussin (1594-1665) painted Acis & Galatea. Although created in Rome in 1627-8, this stunning mythological piece has a classic French colour palette. The lovers are exquisitely portrayed. Poussin is out of favour now but deserves more interest.

Francis Bacon (1909-92) was a great Irish artist who captured the horror, disaster & evil of the 20th century with its catastrophic oppression & wars. He was a nihilist, an exile & a gay man in an era of destruction (self portraits, 1970 & 1973)

Here we have a mythological figure playing the pan pipes, the body of the Dead Christ & one of his most homoerotic studies. His understanding of musculature, elegant composition & sensuality in his drawings is striking
