The Olmec-Maya and Now

Prompt: Focus on The Olmec-Maya and Now and explain the abstract.

The Olmec-Maya and Now (1981–1985) is a series of large, oil-on-canvas paintings by Aubrey Williams. The series grew out of Williams' enduring interest in pre-Columbian cultures of the indigenous peoples of the Americas (he himself claimed Carib ancestry). It explores parallels between Olmec and Maya civilizations and contemporary global culture, focusing in particular on the threat of rapid demise and self-destruction.

The Olmec-Maya and Now

Prompt: Focus on The Olmec-Maya and Now and explain the Background.

Williams' interest in the pre-Columbian cultures of the Americas first developed while he was living and working among the Warao people in the north-west region of Guyana (now Region One) in the 1940s.  Although he had been painting and drawing for many years, he claimed that it was among the Warao that he "discovered [him]self as an artist" and "started to understand what art really is".  This experience triggered an involvement with pre-Columbian art and artefacts that he described in 1987 as "the core of his artistic activity". Williams found a precedent for the kinds of abstraction he used in his own paintings in pre-Columbian arts and, across the years, repeatedly incorporated images, iconography and motifs drawn from these arts into his work.By 1981, Williams was working mainly in a studio in Florida, while maintaining bases in the United Kingdom and Jamaica. He was working towards the completion of another large series of paintings, Shostakovich (1969-1981), which was exhibited for the first time in October of that year.

The Olmec-Maya and Now

Prompt: Focus on The Olmec-Maya and Now and explain the Style and themes.

The paintings in The Olmec-Maya and Now combine abstract expressionism with figurative depictions of Olmec and Maya icons, symbols and artefacts.  Williams' re-introduction of figurative elements into his paintings marked an important stylistic departure from his earlier work, such as the Shostakovich series, which was entirely abstract. Art critics Mel Gooding, Reyahn King and Leon Wainwright have noted that the fusion of abstraction and figuration challenged viewers, artists and critics, who were used to "artistic rules" that kept them apart. Williams himself described this stylistic change as a "wonderful artistic jump". In an interview in 1987 he explained that approximately ten years earlier, around 1977, he had felt himself to be at risk of "only making paintings [...] like making wall furniture" and of hiding within "borrowed" forms.  He therefore decided to "go right back" – to go back to doing figurative work which incorporated "the symbolic artefacts of [his] own past culture" – so that his work was "no longer recognisable".Thematically, the series explores parallels between what Williams describes as "Maya mistakes" and comparable developments in "modern humanity".  In a note composed for the first exhibition of the series, he explained:The Maya, the greatest Civilization of their time [...] a people who produced a technology from which we are still learning today; these people vanished in a very short space of time [..] due, I feel, to their inability to cope with their technology and the changes their achievements engendered within the metabolism of their living environment and ecology; exactly the position we find ourselves in today.In 1987, Williams added that everything else in his art was "ancillary" to "the burning urge" to express these parallels.

Rubens Peale with a Geranium

Prompt: Focus on Rubens Peale with a Geranium and explain the Analysis.

The portrait is informal and reveals Rubens' sensitive nature. He has an unstudied posture, and he is accompanied by a geranium (possibly Pelargonium inquinans) in a terracotta pot, which takes up so much space in the composition as to compete for attention with the ostensible subject, Rubens. This is a departure from traditional European portraiture, and valued for its "embodiment of an ideal in American art that favors candor over pretension, clarity over complexity, and the natural over the conventional". The National Gallery suggests that the work is almost a double portrait of Rubens and the geranium, which may be the first specimen of the plant grown in the US. Stylistic aspects of the plant can be seen in the young man's posture and clothing. The "V" shape of Rubens' lapels and shirt is echoed in the rising stalks of the geranium, and similarly the locks of hair on his forehead are echoed by the curves of the leftmost stalks. As two of his fingers rest on the lip of the pot, the two pointed fronds at the top of the plant are close to his hair.Rubens is both wearing and holding glasses. In this era, portraits subjects rarely wore glasses. The art historian Billie Follensbee suggests that Peale sat for the portrait holding his glasses in his hand, with Rembrandt Peale returning to the canvas later and overpainting another pair of glasses on his face. This would account for the impossible combination of the strong lens refractions seen on his cheeks with the lack of visual distortion seen through the lenses. There is no physical evidence that the glasses were added later, but Rubens' daughter, who received the painting in 1854, wrote that they were a later addition.

Prompt: Focus on Three Regentesses of the Leprozenhuis of Amsterdam and explain the History and description.

The Sint Anthonisgasthuis was a proveniers' house outside the city walls of Amsterdam, where since around 1490 onwards lepers were cared for and it was also called Leprozenhuis (The Leper House). The Leper House was governed by four regents and three regentesses, who were appointed by the mayors. The gentlemen were in charge of general management, the ladies were responsible for household management, including supervision of servants and purchasing. There was regular disagreement between the two groups when the regents wanted control over household affairs.Ferdinand Bol, after working in Rembrandt's studio, established himself as an independent painter in 1641 and became a successful portraitist. In 1649, Bol painted the regents of the Leprozenhuis and around 1668 the regentesses. The paintings fit into a long tradition of painting the likenesses of administrators. Over the years, the Leprozenhuis had several regent paintings created by several artists, like, among others, Arnold Boonen, Jacob Ochtervelt and Werner van den Valckert. The latter had painted a depiction of three regentesses and the inner mother of the Leprozenhuis in Amsterdam (1624) more than forty years earlier, Three Regentesses and the Binnenmoeder of the Leprozenhuis of Amsterdam. Bol chose the same design as Van de Valckert for the current painting: the ladies are sitting at the table, with writing utensils and coins on top of it as a symbol of their function. Van de Valckert referred in the background to the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. Bol opted for a neutral background, so that all the attention is focused on the regentesses. The painting was hung in the Leprozenhuis above a mantelpiece that was made in the same period. The frieze of the marbled mantelpiece is decorated with flowers and vines. In between, oval coats of arms have been placed in relief, with which the regentesses can be identified. From left to right, these are the coats of arms of Clara Abba, Elisabeth van Duijnen and Agatha Munter. It appears that the outer ladies or their coats of arms have been switched. Van Duijnen is rightly depicted as treasurer, but Munter was the secretary of the trio.The painting depicts the three women, two of them in full-length, sitting at a table covered with oriental cloth. The women are wearing dresses with puff sleeves and lace, and a flat collar. They all wear pearl necklaces, bracelets and earrings. The woman in the middle wears a widow's hood. There is an inkstand and coins on the table. The lady on the right has placed her foot on a small stool, on which the painter's signature can be read.

In 1649, Bol painted the regents of the Leprozenhuis and around 1668 the regentesses. The paintings fit into a long tradition of painting the likenesses of administrators. Over the years, the Leprozenhuis had several regent paintings created by several artists, like, among others, Arnold Boonen, Jacob Ochtervelt and Werner van den Valckert. The latter had painted a depiction of three regentesses and the inner mother of the Leprozenhuis in Amsterdam (1624) more than forty years earlier, Three Regentesses and the Binnenmoeder of the Leprozenhuis of Amsterdam. Bol chose the same design as Van de Valckert for the current painting: the ladies are sitting at the table, with writing utensils and coins on top of it as a symbol of their function. Van de Valckert referred in the background to the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. Bol opted for a neutral background, so that all the attention is focused on the regentesses. The painting was hung in the Leprozenhuis above a mantelpiece that was made in the same period. The frieze of the marbled mantelpiece is decorated with flowers and vines. In between, oval coats of arms have been placed in relief, with which the regentesses can be identified. From left to right, these are the coats of arms of Clara Abba, Elisabeth van Duijnen and Agatha Munter. It appears that the outer ladies or their coats of arms have been switched. Van Duijnen is rightly depicted as treasurer, but Munter was the secretary of the trio.The painting depicts the three women, two of them in full-length, sitting at a table covered with oriental cloth. The women are wearing dresses with puff sleeves and lace, and a flat collar. They all wear pearl necklaces, bracelets and earrings. The woman in the middle wears a widow's hood. There is an inkstand and coins on the table. The lady on the right has placed her foot on a small stool, on which the painter's signature can be read.

Prompt: Focus on Three Regentesses of the Leprozenhuis of Amsterdam and explain the Provenance.

When the number of lepers declined at the end of the 17th century, people with other conditions were also admitted. In 1759, proveniers were again admitted to the guest house. After the Poor Law of 1854, the municipality did not want to be responsible for the proveniers and the house  closed in 1860. Because two residents were obstructive, it took until 1866 before the estate could be liquidated. The buildings were subsequently demolished. Various parts of the inventory, including this painting and the mantelpiece, were loaned by the municipality of Amsterdam in 1885 to the Rijksmuseum, which opened that year.

Annunciation (Correggio)

Prompt: Focus on Annunciation (Correggio) and explain the History.

It was originally painted on the wall of the church of San Francesco in Parma. Its style allows it to be dated to the 1520s, shortly after Correggio finished the frescoes on the dome of the church of San Giovanni Evangelista and just before he began those on the dome of Parma Cathedral. The figure of Gabriel on a cloud with his robe blown in the wind is reminiscent of Correggio's work on these other two frescoesOn San Francesco's demolition in 1546 was moved to another location, where it was seen by Vasari:Also in the same city (Parma), in the church of the Frati de' Zocoli di S. Francesco, can be seen an Annunciation in fresco, which is so fine that when they demolished its original home, the monks placed iron bars behind that section of wall, cut it away little by little and moved the section of wall to another safer position in the same convent. It was later moved a second time, to the Annunziata church in Capo di Ponto.

Prompt: Focus on An Egyptian Pot Seller at Gizeh and explain the Artist's background.

Elisabeth Baumann was educated at the art academy in Düsseldorf in 1838–1845. In 1846, she married the Danish sculptor Jens Adolf Jerichau in Rome and moved to Copenhagen.Throughout her life, Jerichau-Baumann travelled widely. In the 1850s, she visited the Middle East and North Africa on pleasure trips with her husband. She later visited Turkey, Greece, and Egypt on two more trips, in 1869–1870 and again in 1874–1875, now with the express reason of painting different motifs in the popular Orientalist style. The Orientalist movement had gained prominence with artists such as Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres,Eugène Delacroix and Jean-Léon Gérôme. In the 1830s, Martinus Rørbye was the first Danish artist to produce paintings from the region. Henriette Browne was the first artist to offer a female perspective on the Orientalist subject matter.

Jerichau-Baumann painted An Egyptian Pot Seller at Gizeh upon her return from her journey to Turkey, Greece and Egypt in 1874–1875. It was completed in Rome in 1878. The painting was possibly commissioned by Sultan Abdülaziz, but was still not completed by the time of his death in 1877. The painting was exhibited at the Charlottenborg Exhibition in 1879. It was for sale for DKK 3,500 but did not find a buyer. After her death, it was sold at an auction of her estate in 1883 for DKK 2,100 to Ida Marie Suhr. She later endowed both her estate Petersgaard and the painting to her nephew Jens Juel. After his death, the painting was sold by his widow Clara Iuel at a Bruun Rasmussen auction in 1977 for DKK 16,000 to Hamburg-based Ludwig Karl Erich Christian Detlev Alexander Graf zu Reventlow (1941–). On 27 November 1996, it was again put up for sale at a Bruun Rasmussen auction but failed to reach the minimum price of DKK one million. It was later sold at an unknown price to the actress and writer Birgit Pouplier. In 1996, she published the biographical novel Lisinka about Jerichau-Baumann. After her death, it was sold by her husband Knud Jerichau Nielsen to the National Gallery of Denmark in 2016.

Jerichau-Baumann’s painting depicts a young woman who is wearing a fairly transparent garment while looking directly at the viewer. Chief curator and senior researcher at the National Gallery of Denmark, Peter Nørgaard Larsen, who has ranked the painting among his favourite works in the museum's collection, has observed, "you get the sense that here we face strong personality who is not ready to simply be sex object, but has strong self-esteem. In this respect, Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann's pictures are very different from what we generally call European Orientalism—a long tradition of male artists painting beautiful women dressed in very little; pictures that were painted by men bought by men and looked at by men. She had a different sensibility, as is apparent in this picture, and that makes her unique in Danish and European art history".

The Car (Brack)

Prompt: Focus on The Car (Brack) and explain the abstract.

The Car is a 1955 painting by Australian artist John Brack. The painting depicts a family in a car on a drive in a rural area. The painting shows the father looking at the road ahead while the mother and children look towards the viewer. While the whole car cannot be seen, the car itself is identifiable as a Triumph Mayflower. The landscape, seen through the windows of the car, has been said to be inspired by the work of his contemporary Fred Williams.The work was painted around the same time as two of Brack's best-known paintings, Collins Street., 5 pm (1955) and  The Bar (1954).Brack described how he came to paint the work:Walking in a suburban street one day the car passed me and, as it did so, the occupants looked out. This seemed to compose itself as picture instantly, which I have found to be rare ... The paraphernalia of the street, houses and telegraph poles, seemed to rob the faces of dramatic emphasis. I think that the country landscape solved this problem and serves also to illustrate a social phenomenon important in our time: the family making an afternoon trip from the city to the nearby country on Sunday. It was part of the pattern of life of millions.Kirsty Grant, Senior Curator of Australian Art at the National Gallery of Victoria claims that The Car is one of Brack's more popular works stating "I think it transports people who lived through that time, whether they are adults or children, back to that era ...The Car is familiar. It is about people and the way we behave and our foibles."The painting is part of the National Gallery of Victoria's Australian art collection. The painting was part of the Australia exhibition at the Royal Academy in 2013.
