‘The Red Tree’
Léo Gausson (1860-1944)Léo Gausson was a French Post-Impressionist who worked closely with the artists of the Pont-Aven circle. His landscapes are remembered for their expressive use of colour. This is one of my favourites.
Gausson was later mentioned in a letter from Theo van Gogh to his brother Vincent in connection with a proposed exchange of paintings, which was completed after Vincent's death.

"Daubigny's Garden," Vincent van Gogh, 1890.
Y'all know van Gogh by now.
He was a longtime admirer of Barbizon painter Charles-François Daubigny (1817-78). While he never got to meet him, he did move to the town of Auvers-sur-Oise, in the suburbs of Paris, where Daubigny's widow lived and where a small artist's colony had grown up around him.
Van Gogh visited her and completed three paintings of the lovely gardens there, of which this is one; actually a study for the more detailed and expansive works that followed.
It's hard to tell, but Van Gogh painted this on a striped dish towel, as he lacked a canvas. He painted a bright pink foundation layer over the red-and-white stripes, creating a contrast with the green tones of the garden. Over time, however, the pink faded to a gray hue.
Sadly, this is one of the last paintings he completed before his death; he painted this in June, along with the two other views of the garden, and died by suicide in July.
Happy Flower Friday!
From the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.

"Street in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer," Vincent van Gogh, 1888.
Y'all know Van Gogh.
He painted this in June of 1888, when he was living in the town of Arles, but spent a few days in this Mediterranean fishing village. This isn't a really accurate depiction...while in form it's a faithful rendition (there are sketches of this very scene among his papers), the actual colors were added back in the studio. He was having a bit of fun here.
Van Gogh was very happy and optimistic at this time of his life; in Arles he was producing some of his best work, and his friend Gauguin was about to come visit, which was an important event in his life. The colors he uses are reflective of his overall mood; the yellows and blues are typical of his "up" paintings.
Sadly, it would only be a few months before he'd have a mental health crisis and required hospitalization. One wishes he could have had a more stable psyche...but would his art be as brilliant?

"Small Table in Evening Dusk," Henri le Sidaner, 1921.
Le Sidaner (1862-1939) was a Post-Impressionist painter who is today classed as an "Intimist," specializing in quiet interiors and serene street scenes like this one. Recently-abandoned tables were a favorite subject, as were gardens and domestic scenes.
He often used a Pointillist technique, which I usually find annoying, but here it gives the scene a misty, dreamlike air. It almost verges on being too pretty, but the use of subdued colors (Le Sidaner disliked using primaries) gives is a cool, sort of detached air.
Le Sidaner is hard to characterize as being part of any one art movement; one critic called his work "art of silence" which is a pretty good description. The serenity of this scene is enviable; one wishes to be sitting down at that table with a friend and looking out over the water...

"Portrait of Joseph Roulin," Vincent van Gogh, 1889.
Y'all know Van Gogh by now.
Joseph Roulin was a postal worker in the town of Arles, where Van Gogh had gone in hopes of forming an art colony. It never manifested, but he became close friends with his postman, Roulin, and the entire Roulin family became a huge source of emotional and moral support to the troubled artist.
Roulin was, by all accounts, one of those great people who was not only a devoted family man, but also a generally kind person who was always willing to lend a hand to those in need. Van Gogh was always struck by his features and overall air of kindliness, which comes across a little in this portrait; despite the large beard, he seems about to smile.
When Van Gogh was hospitalized (1888-90, on and off), Roulin looked after his studio and was a regular visitor. Some feel that Van Gogh's psychiatric troubles may have been far worse if not for the presence of his caring friend.
Here we have Roulin proud in his postal uniform, looking a bit amused, but also strong and solid. The background, of bright green and twisting vines and flowers, seems almost to embrace the subject.
Happy Portrait Monday!

"Bouquet of Flowers in a Vase," Vincent van Gogh, 1890.
Thought I'd post some art early today; going off to a concert tonight!
Y'all know Van Gogh. This painting is a bit of a mystery to art historians. He never mentioned it in his letters, and he talked about nearly everything he did in those letters. The bouquet of summer flowers is similar to work he did in Paris, while the vase is the same used in a painting of irises during his time in Saint-Remy, in southern France. But the style and brushstrokes point to this being painted in the weeks leading up to his death in 1890.

"The Sower," Vincent van Gogh, 1888.
Y'all know van Gogh.
In 1888 he was living in Arles and having his breakthrough success as an artist. This scene is a riff on an artist he admired, Jean-Francois Millet, who had done a similar painting of a sower.
Here, we have the man boldly striding across the plowed field, scattering seeds. But in the background, we see the sun rising over fully grown grain. This painting isn't supposed to be a realistic landscape, but a circle-of-life allegory, a religious scene of the sower of divine will planting the seeds of salvation.
Van Gogh's mental health would decline and in a few months he was hospitalized; I wonder if this painting was an expression of a troubled soul seeking some form of salvation or rescue.

"Svolvaer Harbour at the Height of the Fishing Season," Anna Boberg, 1934.
Swedish painter Boberg (1864-1935) was many things in her life; from an artistic family, she never had formal artistic education and so was pretty much self-taught. She worked in ceramics, glass, textiles, set design, and was a writer, before settling into painting in her own individual style, a mix of Impressionism with some touches of Realism and the Danish Skagen school.
Married to an architect, she first did a few tapestries for some significant buildings, which were later exhibited at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. She also designed a number of popular ceramic and glass pieces before being inspired to take up painting by a trip to Norway in 1901.
Most of her paintings are of Norway, and weren't very popular in her home country, but were well-received elsewhere. Her husband designed a house on an island near Svolvaer where she could stay and work; this painting was likely done at the island retreat.
Eventually her work found an audience, and acclaim, in Sweden, to the point that when she died in 1935, several members of the Swedish royal family attended her funeral.
