Marcel Duchamp (1935)

Gris' work always retains identifiable elements, with tight geometry and bold patterns distinguishing his compositions. In "The Painter's Window," produced at the end of his life, the artist flattened and interlocked a guitar, fruit bow, sheet music, a palette, paintbrush, playing cards, and a tabletop like pieces in an upright jigsaw puzzle. These typical Cubist props, which allude to the roles of chance, play, and the abstraction of music, are arranged in clever punning ways. The sheet music mimics the strings of the guitar while the blobs of paint on the palette rhyme with the diamonds of the playing cards. Sharp, angular divisions cleave the forms, reducing them to geometric facets. This dissection of objects into constituent shapes and planes reorders visual perception. The arrangement of these fragmented elements articulates a modern perspective on reality, one shaped by multiple viewpoints and the breakdown of traditional representation. Here, the very process of seeing becomes a subject. Forms overlap and intersect, denying a single, fixed vantage point. A deep, dark shape anchors the left side, it's sharp edges defining an interior recess. Thin, parallel lines on the sheet music suggest a rhythm of observation. The blue rectangle of the window frames a dislocated sky. The wooden surface of the table grounds the chaotic assembly in a tactile reality. This careful construction of interlocking planes creates a complex visual field.

Fred Cuming was considered one of the finest landscape painters of his generation. Much of his work celebrates southern English coastlines; the sea and skies of Hastings, Rye or Camber as here, illuminated by dawn, dusk, or glowing moonlight.

This work is widely recognized as one of the greatest German paintings of the twentieth century and a landmark of Expressionism. Kirchner was a founding member of the artists’ group Die Brücke (The Bridge) in Dresden in 1905. In 1911, the group moved to Berlin. Kirchner was enthralled by what he called “the symphony of the great city,” and responded to the intensity of the street life he found in Berlin by recording the urban spectacle around him. Shortly after arriving in the capitol city, Kirchner met sisters Erna and Gerda Schilling. The features of the two monumental figures in Berlin Street Scene are recognizably modeled after the sisters. They are shown as thoroughly modern women, dressed in fitted gowns and feathered hats, striding with confidence. Yet there is a dark undercurrent to the work: the central figures are portrayed as prostitutes parading down a busy avenue, and the slashing lines of the composition convey a taut emotional power. With its charged and anxious atmosphere, Berlin Street Scene suggests an uneasy dialogue between primitivism and modernity.

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

This is tragically beautiful.
