Jean Eugene Clary was a French painter of much repute. She did the most glorious atmospheric paintings and was a friend of Suzanne Valadon (painted here). A lovely discovery.
The French Symbolist Odilon Redon was a painter of nightmares, dreams and often the fantastical. His imagination was his inspiration. In his own words:
I have often, as an exercise and as a sustenance, painted before an object down to the smallest accidents of its visual appearance; but the day left me sad and with an unsatiated thirst. The next day I let the other source run, that of imagination, through the recollection of the forms and I was then reassured and appeased.
And the colours! Oh. Just so beautiful.
Van Gogh’s blossoming almond tree paintings perfectly epitomise spring time in Europe.
It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality is more important than the feeling for pictures.
- Vincent van Gogh
Two delightful paintings by the one and only Edouard Manet spotted today in the National Gallery of Victoria. They took me back to Paris in a flash. Visits to the D’Orsay and the Louvre... such fine times with so many paintings to discover and enjoy.
A good day.

René Gruau was one of the most well known fashion artists of the haute couture world in the 1940′s and 50′s. His mother was a French aristocrat, his father an Italian count.
Influenced by both Toulouse-Lautrec and classical Japanese drawings, his illustrations were highly sought after by all the major fashion houses.
Elegant and timeless.
Expressionist painter Marianne von Werefkin was Russian-German-Swiss. A strong heritage from an artist that painted boldly.
An admirer of Gauguin and Munch, their influence is evident in her work. The boldness of colour and vibrancy is quite stunning, and the expression of a soul is clear.
Such an interesting life she led full of passion for painting and life.
Artemisia Gentileschi painted many self portraits. Strong ones. Powerful ones. Portraits that spoke to us, speak to us still, centuries down the line.
They reflect what a strong and courageous woman and person she was. To succeed and accomplish so much in a man’s world was no easy feat.
Much respect.
Dod Procter studied art in both England and Paris. I only discovered her work today by chance. Why have I not yet heard of her?
Procter was very prolific, both a member of the Newlyn School and St Ives Society of Artists. She was inspired by the work of Renoir and Cezanne. The critics spoke of the west Cornish ‘silver light’ that is evident in much of her work.
An English treasure.
William Nicholson was a British painter primarily of still lifes, portraits and landscapes. He had a remarkable way of portraying life with beauty and style. He lifted the mundane to another level, to one of simplicity and lyricism.

John Russell was an Australian Impressionist painter. He was friends with van Gogh and painted the first portrait of him. They remained in close contact throughout his life.
After studying in London and Paris Russell eventually settled on the coast of Brittany where established an artists colony. After a visit from Matisse he stated ‘Russell was my teacher, and Russell explained colour theory to me’. Quite a statement!
The David Hockney exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria was hugely surprising. It was so full of colour and light and life. The hall of portraits was perhaps the most impressive with each portrait painted over three days. Here, I saw some old familiar faces. A true British innovator and talent is Hockney.
* Funnyman Barry Humphries and the lovely Gallerist David Juda
Monk with a Book by Titian is a beauty. Sited today at the National Gallery of Victoria it was a most welcome surprise. Titian remains one of the most enigmatic and authentic of all painters. The wonderfully painted hand alone was enough to put a spring in my step.
By the Blooomsbury group painter Vanessa Bell while in Italy.
An Italian scene. Lucca. Light and long shadows. Bella Italia.
Botticelli feels like home.
He was the epitome of the Renaissance Florentine painter. An eccentric. A believer in beauty. A passionate nature. A lover of life. An innovator.

Australian painter Lloyd Rees experimented with the effects of light. Sunlit Tower is a classic example of just how successful he was. An eloquent and emotive work from a philosophical mind. In his words:
From quite an early age I was overwhelmed with the fact of endlessness... Planetary systems can blow up, but the universe is endless, and our little life is set in the midst of this, and everything in it has a beginning and an end... [This] gives to life a sense of mystery that is always with me.
He travelled many times to Europe, connecting most strongly to Italy and France. The landscapes he saw there would influence his work right up to his final years in his nineties.
After a recent conversation about the one and only John William Waterhouse, I felt compelled to share some images. He was surely one of the English greats of the nineteenth century.
An active member of the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood, he was a champion of Greek mythology and Arthurian legend. Two very popular and timeless themes.
*And he was a fellow Aries. A fire sign*
