Georges Seurat, Monkey (study for La Grande Jatte), 1884 @metmuseum https://t.co/5sCjKfWcqh
And this Dance of the Rats attributed to van Kessel @staedelmuseum was cut out of a once-larger canvas https://t.co/qtS9FLFwEr
All the boat news lately has got me thinking of one of my favorite paintings of all time: Édouard Manet's enchanting 1874 portrait of Claude Monet & wife Camille seated in the artist's floating studio boat @Pinakotheken
@AtrophicP @john_overholt Looks like a later rendition (print) of this painting
In all fairness, this may be because much of Tamayo's strongest work is in Mexican collections & not widely reproduced, like his 1932 Las Musas de la Pintura (The Muses of Painting) @MUNALmx. But still a significant oversight given massive attention to Guston this past year
Look, I love Philip Guston's work as much as the next person, but why is it that no one seems to have discussed that Mexican artist Rufino Tamayo's 1930s-era art is almost a template for Guston's signature '70s visual idiom? Here's a 1928 Tamayo & a 1971 Guston
Shoveling out: Vincent van Gogh, Winter (The Vicarage Garden under Snow), January 1885 @NortonSimon
