West View of the City of Edinburgh

Prompt: In West View of the City of Edinburgh, how is the Description discussed?

The view of Castle Rock, Arthur's Seat, and Salisbury Crags from the farmlands of the West was enjoyed by many. The Old Town, Salisbury Crags, and Arthur's Seat can be seen in the middle left of this topographical image, with Edinburgh Castle in the centre. Beyond the castle, just to the right, is George Heriot's Hospital. The picture was made prior to the development of Edinburgh's New Town. The Royal Mile's lofty peaks behind the castle provide a vantage point for the homes below. Since Sandby's time in Edinburgh, the vistas from the west end have changed considerably, but George Heriot's School still dominates the High Riggs beneath the Castle.

The Piazza at Havana

Prompt: Focus on The Piazza at Havana and explain the abstract.

The Piazza at Havana is a landscape painting by the French-born British artist Dominic Serres.

British troops in redcoats are shown parading in the Plaza Vieja while British sailors are in the foreground. Serres painted a series of works focusing on the taking of Havana for the Keppel family, three of whom led the British campaign.

The Fruit Bowl

Prompt: Focus on The Fruit Bowl and explain the abstract.

The Fruit Bowl is an early 20th century drawing by Juan Gris. The work was produced as part of a collaboration between Gris and Pierre Reverdy to commission a book filled with lithographs made from the former's paintings. The project was interrupted by the onset of World War I in 1914 and never finished. Reverdy composed a poem titled The Fruit Bowl to accompany the painting. Gris' work is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.This piece belongs to the movement of Synthetic Cubism, where pioneers like Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque began to find new ways to expand the genre of painting, the most important of these being the development of collage. The idea that commonplace items like paper could be elevated to the level of high art was foundational in the progression of these forms.

Saint Bernard and the Virgin (Cano)

Prompt: Focus on Saint Bernard and the Virgin (Cano) and explain the abstract.

Saint Bernard and the Virgin is an oil on canvas painting by Spanish artist Alonso Cano, dated between 1645 and 1652, now held in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.Cano probably painted Saint Bernard and the Virgin during one of his stays at the Spanish royal court, after which it was used as an altarpiece by the Capuchins at Toledo. The scene depicts the traditional Lactatio Bernardi miracle, in which Bernard of Clairvaux was given a stream of milk by the Virgin Mary as a reward for his theological work. A cardinal can be seen praying in the bottom-left corner. Unlike other versions of the scene, Bernard does not receive the milk from a personal Marian apparition but from a statue.The work was owned by Infante Sebastián Gabriel de Borbón until 1835. It passed to the Trinidad Museum between 1835 and 1861, after what it returned to its previous owner. It belonged to Alfonso de Borbón y Borbón from 1887 to his death year 1934, and was then held by the 2nd Duke of Ansola until 1942. The 1st Duke of Hernani possessed it until 1964; and it was finally bought from Manuel González by the Prado Museum in 1968.

Parisian Backyard

Prompt: Focus on Parisian Backyard and explain the History and description.

The Parisian Backyard is a work of Gallen-Kallela's first trip to Paris, in the autumn of 1884. He visited it on a study trip. There he painted some academic works as part of his studies, as well as other paintings such as the Parisian Backyard. He made the painting from the window of his living room at the Rue Fontaine 21, and behind it he later wrote, "Painted in December while I was sick and in great dullness."In the painting, Gallen-Kallela is particularly sensitive to the perception of light. In the foreground of the late autumn landscape stands a dark, leafless tree. Behind it stand the dirty-gray brick neighboring buildings and a mere patch of white sky visible at the top left of the painting.

Profile of a Man (Mantegna)

Prompt: Focus on Profile of a Man (Mantegna) and explain the abstract.

Profile of a Man or Male Portrait is a tempera on panel painting, Museo Poldi Pezzoli in Milan. It is attributed to Andrea Mantegna, though its dating and attribution are uncertain. Some have attributed it to Cosmè Tura, Francesco Bonsignori and others, though it is now more usually attributed to Mantegna, either from his stay in Ferrara in 1448-50 (revealing the influence of Rogier van der Weyden - he may have met him or seen his work there) or from his arrival in Mantua in 1460 (where he was given various portrait commissions). The subject is unknown, though his costume and hat suggest a Venetian magistrate, a lawyer or a nobleman.

Le vieillard (Pourtau)

Prompt: Focus on Le vieillard (Pourtau) and explain the abstract.

Le vieillard (The old man) is an 1894 painting by Léon Pourtau in the collection of the Museo Soumaya, Mexico City.This work represents an old man in a deserted French street, during a curfew of Prussian occupation. The man walks with crutches, probably with a physical wound. The scene is illuminated by the explosion of a bomb that produces an intense yellow colour that breaks the darkness of the night.This work was produced in the context of the defeat of the French Republic to the German Empire after the Franco-Prussian War. Pourtau was a student of Georges Seurat and this work shows influence of pointillism and divisionism. The technique employed by Pourtau to achieve a contrast between the dark and the distinct colours in the work is impasto oil painting, which involves applying thick layers of paint. It is close in style to German Expressionism.

The Concert (Gaspare Traversi)

Prompt: Focus on The Concert (Gaspare Traversi) and explain the Description.

The painting depicts a small crowded room hosting a concert involving either a fortepiano or harpsichord, cello, and flute. The central figure, the bonneted young women dressed in an elegant blue and yellow gown and playing the piano, gazes toward the spectator. To her right and surrounding the piano are fashionably dressed older men. Two hold canes, and two hold private conversations. Two fixate, perhaps leer, at the young woman. One gentleman holds perhaps a small wind instrument in his hand. Near the woman's right foot, is a cat, facing away from us. The scene, somewhat unsettling, appears to convey some cryptic allegory.An alternative explanation is that the structure, if not subject, of the painting may be derived from a similar Concerto picture, attributed to Traversi, and on display at the Casa-Museu Pinacoteca Braamcamp Freire in Santarém, Portugal. The subject of the painting is putatively that of Maria Barbara of Portugal playing the harpsichord, being tutored by a white-haired Domenico Scarlatti raising his hand, and watched over by a red-coated Ferdinand VI of Spain. In this painting, the pianist is focused on her playing and the king is dapper and young.

Black Square

Prompt: Focus on Black Square and explain the abstract.

Black Square (Russian Чёрный квадрат) is a 1915 oil on linen canvas painting by the artist Kazimir Malevich.  The first of four painted versions, the original was completed in 1915 and described by the artist as his breakthrough work and the inception for the launch of his Suprematist art movement (1915–1919).A leading member of the Russian avant-garde, Malevich was born in 1878 in today's Ukraine. In his manifesto for the Suprematist movement Malevich said the paintings were intended as "desperate struggle to free art from the ballast of the objective world" by focusing only on form. He sought to create paintings that all could understand and that would have an emotional impact comparable to religious works. The 1915 Black Square was the turning point in his career and defined the aesthetic he was to follow for the remainder of his career; his other significant paintings include variants such as White on White (1918), Black Circle (c. 1924), and Black Cross (c. 1920–23). Malevich painted three other versions; in 1923, 1929, and between the late 1920s and early 1930s. Each version differs slightly in size and texture.The original painting was first shown at The Last Futurist Exhibition 0,10 in 1915. The last is thought to have been painted during the late 1920s or early 1930s. Malevich described the 1915 painting as the "zero point of painting"; since then, it has had a significant influence on minimalist art.

Black Square

Prompt: Focus on Black Square and explain the Conception.

A self-taught artist, Kazimir Malevich's early works, created while still a teenager, incorporate the style and motifs of Ukrainian and Russian folk art and Eastern Orthodox icons. In the early 1900s, when he was heavily influenced by late 19th-century Impressionism. He moved from his birthplace of Kyiv to Moscow in 1907, where he came into contact with the leading Russian avant-garde artists such as Natalia Goncharova and Mikhail Larionov. He first used the motif of a black square while working as the stage designer for the premiere of the Cubo-Futuristic opera Victory over the Sun by the painter and composer Mikhail Matyushin's (1861–1934), staged at the Luna Park Theater in Saint Petersburg on 3 December, 1913. Although the opera is ostensibly a comedic farce, the plot satirises the religious dogma and Tsarist autocracy then dominating pre-revolution Russia. Its libretto was written by the poet Velimir Khlebnikov (1885–1922), and follows protagonists seeking to "abolish reason" by capturing the sun and destroying time. The opera ends with a world in darkness, which Khlebnikov intended to represent the a future after the destruction of Russian tradition. These ideas resonated with Malevich's year zero views on the purpose of contemporary Modernist art. Malevich's sketches for the costumes seem largely influenced by Cubism and Futurism. However, a number, including those known today as Futurist Strongman, Grave Digger and A Certain Evil Intender, are in colour but contain distinct black squares and rectangles. During the pivotal scene depicting the death of the sun, black squares appear eight times: on a curtain and the backdrops, and on the coats and hats of the sun's pall bearers. He was immediately aware of the design's potential, wrote pleading letters to Matyushin to retain it when the composer was planning a 1915 performance of the opera. In the letters, Malevich claimed that the square "will have great significance in painting" and is the "embryo of all possibilities; in its development it acquires a terrible strength."

Prompt: Focus on Black Square and explain the Composition.

Malevich created the first version in 1915 using broad strokes of thick black oil paint onto a 79.5cm x 79.5cm  linen canvas. The border and edges were applied with various shades of white and grey paint.Malevich was a prolific and talented self-publicist and has been described as both a "brilliant, grandiose, messianic figure" and a "fanatic pamphleteer". Sensing a breakthrough, he declared the painting as a milestone in both his oeuvre and "in the history of art". He later wrote that he was so excited at the breakthrough that he was unable to "sleep, eat, or drink for an entire week after". The painting was first shown at the 1915 The Last Futurist Exhibition 0,10 at the Field of Mars square in Saint Petersburg (then Petrograd). Its hanging in the icon corner emphasised the collision between Modernism and traditional Eastern Orthodox culture.Over the following decades, Malevich made three other oil on canvas variants (in 1924, 1929, while the final version is thought to date from the late 1920s or early 1930s). He created numerous lithographs of the image, used it to decorate his signature, and applied it to lapels he gave to his students. The reverse contains the inscription "1913", however, this is thought to refer to the year of the design's conception that year for Victory over the Sun. He continued to refer to it as The main Suprematist element. Square. 1913. According to an overview of the work by Tate Modern, Malevich may have given an earlier date to appear more ahead of the curve during the early years of Abstract art.

Black Square

Prompt: Focus on Black Square and explain the Interpretation.

Black Square is widely regarded by art historians as foundational in the development of both modern and abstract art. Malevich said the paintings began the Suprematism movement, which emphasised colour and shape. The title "Suprematism" is derived from the word supremus (Russian: Супремус), which translates as "superior" or "perfected", which Malevich said reflected his desire to "liberate" painting from mimesis (imitation) and representational art.Although the movement gained many supporters among the Russian avant-garde, it was overshadowed by constructivism, whose manifesto better reflected the ideology of the early Soviet government and which had a larger influence on later 20th century art. Today Suprematism is almost exclusively associated with Malevich and his apprentice El Lissitzky.
