Medusa (Rubens)

Prompt: In Medusa (Rubens), how is the Historical context discussed?

Other famous artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Caravaggio portrayed Medusa. Unlike Rubens, both da Vinci and Caravaggio painted their portrayals of Medusa on shields or breastplates. Da Vinci's painting of Medusa is lost and did not survive. Cardinal del Monte, who worked closely with the Grand Duke of Tuscany, commissioned Caravaggio to create a painting that symbolized the courageousness of the Grand Duke conquering his opponents. Caravaggio created Head of Medusa, which was the second version that was made.  The first version of the painting is in a private collection and the second version is currently in the Uffizi Gallery located in Florence, Italy.  Medusa has been portrayed in art for centuries since Ancient Greece, with works being portrayed in various forms such as paintings, sculptures, pottery, and metalwork. Portrayals of Medusa during this time portrayed her with snakes for hair and usually with a gaping mouth and sharp teeth as well as facing the viewer straight on. While the look of Medusa in art has changed over time, her position facing the viewer has stayed consistent.

Portrait of Gertrude Stein

Prompt: Focus on Portrait of Gertrude Stein and explain the Background.

After putting aside the pessimistic themes of his Blue Period, Picasso had begun a new, more optimistic phase in early 1905, which is now known as his Rose Period. The previous year, Picasso had arrived in Paris from Barcelona to settle there. During this time, Picasso was living in poverty in a dilapidated artist building at 13 rue Ravignan, known as Le Bateau-Lavoir. Gertrude and her brother Leo Stein were art collectors and became friends with Picasso later in 1905. The siblings acquired three Rose Period artworks from the artist at a point in his life when Picasso was still a struggling artist, thus playing an important role in his financial circumstances and eventual commercial success. By the end of 1906, Picasso's works were being bought by the art dealer Ambroise Vollard.Gertrude Stein was an influential collector of modern art. She held weekly “salons” in Paris, which became legendary and were a gathering place for writers, painters, critics, and poets. Gertrude Stein was also a radical and influential writer. Her portrait remained with her in France and she held on to it through both World Wars, until her death.Portrait of Gertrude Stein was bequeathed to the Museum of Modern Art when she died on 27 July 1946. The portrait was returned to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for permanent exhibition.

Portrait of Gertrude Stein

Prompt: Focus on Portrait of Gertrude Stein and explain the Description.

Shortly after meeting Stein in 1905, Picasso began to paint her portrait. According to Stein, the process took "eighty or ninety sittings". She recalled how during one session, when the sittings were nearly coming to an end in the winter, Picasso suddenly painted out the head and irritably said, "I can't see you any longer when I look." The portrait was left in this condition until the following autumn, when Stein returned to Paris. After returning from a trip to Spain, Picasso completed the head without even seeing Stein again. When the portrait was complete, both were content with the finished work. Stein said of the portrait, "I was and I still am satisfied with my portrait, for me, it is I, and it is the only reproduction of me which is always I, for me."Picasso's painting challenged the traditional ideas of portraiture, by depicting the subject as a large, hulking figure who stares blankly across the image, rather than towards the viewer. Her body is a round mass, as she leans forward and leans her arms weightily on her knees. In contrast to the work of Henri Matisse, Picasso uses dark, subdued hues of brown and red, rather than bright colours to portray his subject. Stein's physical details are not depicted realistically – her face has a mask-like appearance, with geometric features. This angular distortion is characteristic of his later Cubist works and is a notable contrast to the rounded, flat rendering of the rest of her body. The portrait's primitive style is inspired perhaps by Picasso's interest in African and Iberian art. The purpose of this was to convey Stein as she really was, and not simply to portray her physical appearance.Alfred H. Barr Jr., Director of the Museum of Modern Art, commented on the significance of the repainting of the head in Stein's portrait.During the period between painting out the portrait's face and painting it in again a change of great importance took place in Picasso's art. The original style of the portrait had been naturalistic, comparatively soft and flat, as you can still see in the costume and background. But the repainted face is in the new style, suggesting a sculptured mask with severely drawn, boldly modeled features, rather like the faces of some ancient Spanish sculptures which Picasso had just seen in the Louvre. This change of style turned out to be of great historic importance for it showed the direction Picasso was to follow step by step until it led to cubism.

Prompt: Focus on Portrait of Gertrude Stein and explain the Significance and legacy.

On the portrait's importance, Alfred H. Barr Jr. remarked that, "Aside from its value as a landmark in modern art, Picasso's painting stands as a powerful characterization of one of the most remarkable and influential American writers of her generation."In 2006, David J. Chalif M.D. remarked on the significance of the painting. "Universally recognized as one of the classic and pivotal works of Picasso's late Rose period, Portrait of Gertrude Stein brilliantly captures the psychological character of one of the great American writers and cultural figures of the last century."In 2015, Jonathan Jones wrote: "Ever since the Renaissance, the portrayal of women had been shaped by ideals of beauty and constrained social roles. Picasso’s Portrait of Gertrude Stein turns all that upside down. Stein has escaped from the confining categories with which western art previously ensnared women. She is neither old nor young, sexual nor submissive – her stone face makes her something new on Earth. She is in command of her identity."

Rick Amor

Prompt: Focus on Rick Amor and explain the Paintings.

Rick Amor's work borrows heavily from the pictorial traditions of Symbolism and Surrealism. The legacy of these art movements manifests within the poetic quality of Amor's style. Amor's handling of light and his alluring manipulation of depth of field in his paintings achieves a sustained sense of tension and mystery that insinuates a multiplicity of meanings. His works include psychologically potent symbolism and his landscapes in particular convey a disquieting atmosphere, with objects saturated by contrasting light and shadows. His major recurring subjects are the solitary watcher, figures at twilight, the vast emptiness of urban spaces and quiet mysterious interiors. Even throughout his journalistic works, such his war paintings of East Timor his works are captivating for their unfathomable subtexts.Sebastian Smee wrote in a review of Amor's 2008 retrospective exhibition at Heide Museum of Modern Art, that he was: convinced not only of Amor's singularity in contemporary Australian art – there is really nobody like him – but of his importance. His commitment is unmistakable, his intelligence acute, and his best images impossible to forget.

Prompt: Focus on Rick Amor and explain the Sculpture.

Since the early 1990s, Rick Amor has also incorporated sculpture into art practice.  Amor typically works in the medium of bronze for his sculptural works. He begins the process of creating each mould at home, which he then has cast in foundry using the Lost-wax casting method. Amor's sculptures are object and figure based, and are often incredibly textural to achieve an impression rather than a replication of the subject.Amor's skill in the medium of sculpture has been recognised by The National Gallery, Canberra who has purchased a two-metre-high bronze sculpture of a dog – "a made-up dog, a survivor".Moreover, in November 2007 Rick Amor won the prestigious $100,000 McClelland Sculpture Award for his haunting work Relic.It's a relic, it's a distant memory. I don't know where it came from, from the unconscious.

The Sleeping Gypsy

Prompt: Focus on The Sleeping Gypsy and explain the Description.

Rousseau described his painting as follows: "A wandering Negress, a mandolin player, lies with her jar beside her (a vase with drinking water), overcome by fatigue in a deep sleep. A lion chances to pass by, picks up her scent yet does not devour her. There is a moonlight effect, very poetic. The scene is set in a completely arid desert.  The gypsy is dressed in oriental costume."In the painting, a dark-skinned woman – the Romany gypsy of the title, variously linked in French literature to Bohemia or to Egypt – is sleeping in an arid landscape with mountains in the background, under a dark sky with a few stars and a full moon.  She is wearing a long robe with a rainbow of colourful stripes, perhaps a djellaba or jellabiya, and lies upon a similarly striped cloth.  Her right hand holds a staff, while beside her rests a mandolin and a tall jar with slim neck.  While she continues to lie passively, a maned lion has approached and dips its head to cautiously sniff.  The painting measures 129.5 cm × 200.7 cm (51.0 in × 79.0 in).  Although painted in a naïve manner, with simple shapes and large blocks of colour, the painting may be based on Rousseau's observations of animals at the Jardin des Plantes and of reconstructed colonial villages at the 1889 World's Fair in Paris.

The Sleeping Gypsy

Prompt: Focus on The Sleeping Gypsy and explain the Provenance.

Rousseau first exhibited the painting at the 13th Salon des Indépendants in 1897, and tried unsuccessfully to sell it to the mayor of his hometown, Laval. Instead, it entered the private collection of a Parisian charcoal merchant where it remained until 1924, when it was discovered and bought by the art critic Louis Vauxcelles.  The Paris-based art dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler purchased the painting in 1924, although a controversy arose over whether the painting was a forgery. It was acquired by art historian Alfred H. Barr Jr. for the New York Museum of Modern Art.It was bought by John Quinn in 1924, and after his death later that year his estate sold at Hôtel Drouot to Henri Bing, who sold to Mme Emma Ruckstuhl of Küssnacht in Switzerland.  She sold to  Mrs. Simon Guggenheim  in December 1939, who donated it to the Museum of Modern Art. The painting also became the subject of a Between the Lions episode, in which the cubs try to tell their own stories based on the painting. In the episode, the mandolin was misreferred to several times as a lute.

Child with a Dove

Prompt: Focus on Child with a Dove and explain the Background.

Child with a Dove was painted in 1901, when Picasso was 20 years old, and was still struggling to make his mark at the start of his artistic career. Picasso first visited Paris from October to November 1900. He returned for a second spell in Paris in May 1901, to prepare for a joint exhibition in June 1901 with Francisco Iturrino at Ambroise Vollard's gallery, Galeries Vollard on rue Laffite. The exhibition was a success and Picasso's reputation as an artist began to spread. Towards the end of the year, Picasso moved away from the rapid impressionistic brushwork that had won him praise towards a flatter, abstracted presentation, with blocks of colour outlined in black, a style that is typical of his Blue Period.

Child with a Dove

Prompt: Focus on Child with a Dove and explain the Description.

Child with a Dove is an oil painting on canvas and measures 28.75 inches (73.0 cm) by 21.25 inches (54.0 cm). It is signed by Picasso on the centre left of the painting. It depicts a girl, with short ginger hair, wearing a white gown tied at the waist with a blue sash. The subject stands holding a white dove in both hands, beside a ball with brightly coloured segments like a colour wheel. The background is painted flatly, as an abstracted blue sky and green grass. The items in the scene, such as the girl's hair, the ball and the dove's feathers, are suggested by their shapes, yet display very little detail. The perspective is limited and implied only by the girl's arms and folds of her dress.The work has been interpreted in several ways. It can be read as a picture of the innocence of childhood. It may be an experiment in abstraction, due to the simplified shapes and reduction of detail. It may also be regarded as a commentary or critique on colour theory, as it displays large blocks of colour; the girl's bright orange hair is set against a blue sky, and her white dress is set against green grass. With these elements, Picasso broke convention, perhaps as a way to challenge the older generation of established artists.

Child with a Dove

Prompt: Focus on Child with a Dove and explain the Provenance.

The painting was acquired by French art dealer Paul Rosenberg. It was bought in 1924 by a Mrs RA Workman from the Alexander Reid Gallery in Glasgow, but she sold it to Samuel Courtauld in 1928. On his death in 1947, he bequeathed it to Christabel McLaren, Lady Aberconway, wife of Henry McLaren, 2nd Baron Aberconway. After the death of Lady Aberconway, the family loaned the painting to the National Gallery from 1974 to 2010, and it was also displayed at exhibitions at the Courtauld Gallery and the Tate Gallery.In 2012, the painting was sold in a private sale brokered by auction house Christie's on behalf of the Aberconway family. The price was reported as £50 million. The government imposed a temporary export ban which expired in December 2012 because no British institution was able to match the purchase price to acquire the work. It was displayed at an exhibition of Picasso's works from 1901 at the Courtauld Gallery until May 2013, and was expected to be exported when the Courtauld exhibition closed in May 2013. In April 2013 it was reported by Le Figaro that the buyer was the Qatar Museums Authority.
