Gwen John's 'Girl With a Cat,' is filled with restrained emotion, and has something of the tranquillity of a Vermeer coupled with the intensity of a Rembrandt portrait. It was painted when she was living in Meudon, sleeping in what was virtually a garden shed with her cats.

Symbolist art seeks to simplify and intensify images. Felix Vallotton's 'A Fine Evening,' uses the starkness of a woodcut engraving to create its abstracted effect. The work is clearly influenced by the Japanese prints that were hugely popular with the French avant-garde.

'The Birdcatcher and the Poet.' John Craxton's painting immediately suggests the inspiration of Palmer and Blake. In the 1940s he drew and painted landscapes which included shepherds or poets: 'As projections of myself. A shepherd is a lone figure, and so is a poet.'

Rockwell Kent possessed the ability to render parallel universes: creating compositions that were representative, the realism that he claimed to adhere to, and the modernistic,expressing the intuitive versus what he physically viewed.

In 1925 Maurice de Vlaminck moved to the Eure-et-Loire region of Normandy where he lived for the rest of his life. Here he was able to paint his favourite landscapes using his rich, brooding, palette to express 'the one idea which excused everything: to say & paint what I felt.'

The directness and intensity of portraits made from life, like this portrait, lay at the heart of Annibale Carracci’s stylistic revolution & his obsession for recording daily experiences. His paintings became more descriptive of everyday life, making the world much more palpable.

There is nothing fussy or over-worked in Geoffrey Tibble's work which looks to the domestic impressionism of late 19th century Paris, to Degas and Sickert.

Much of the charm of Bernard Dunstan's work comes from its accidental quality. While he constructed pictures in his studio using a hired model, he was happiest to come across an informality that makes them come alive, there's a lot of geometry under their casual appearance.

John Singer Sargent painted his friends in more experimental ways than his commissioned portraits. His reputation went into freefall after his death at the age of 69 mainly because his former friend, the critic Roger Fry, came to see Sargent as irrelevant to 20thC modernism.

@Datvires @jamesfr88883003 That silvery light surely derives from Corot. What I find interesting about his later work is that it's half way between naturalistic and dreamy. His Impressionist works are excellent.
