La Porte Ouverte, 1892, Edouard Vuillard
Still thinking about the two small Vuillards I saw at the Met, after seeing the Fra Angelico show. They were so good.
They were both in a tilted case, side-by-side, part of the Robert Lehman Collection. One is mostly yellow, with a yellowy wallpaper pattern, lamp, and a woman at a piano. The other is mostly green, with a window and a melancholy man. Both paintings are very small and simple, and perfect. I can't find any images on-line or in any books, and don't remember the titles or dates. If someone goes please take a picture for me.
Mme Vuillard Remplissant Une Carafe, 1904, Edouard Vuillard
I think I scanned that first image a little too light and the second one a little too dark?
ReplyDeleteSometimes I forget about Vuillard and how magical he can be. Corny just mentioned him on the blog today...I posted a thing on Redon. Can't remember if you had time to see that? It's still up. I hope you are not mad at me for being defensive on Militant Art Bitch's blog. If you are, I hope we can work it out without fists because you look real real buff and I can tell you would kick me around roughly.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I'd like to see you two hash it out via my blog instead.

I was buff, but that was almost three months ago at the end of rafting season and now I am covered in bedsores.
ReplyDeleteMountain Man! You are one of my best friends. Whoever you are.
Bedsores!!! Martin, this is terrible news, I have seen pictures of such and they look very moldy. Good luck finding the right balm. I am glad we are pals and you are not sore at me (oopsy, sorry!!!).
ReplyDeleteWe are bosom ether friends forever.

ReplyDeleteRight now I'm digging Vuillard.
ReplyDeleteLes Nabis, such a genius in color. Dont forget Bonnard or Vallotton.
