Vincent van Gogh

The Siesta (after Millet)

Musée d’Orsay

We all know about Van Gogh— one of the great 19th century artists who was unknown unrecognised during his lifetme. He painted The Siesta while taking the compositions from Francoise Millet for Four Moments in the Day. The siesta captures the fields of wheat from Van Gogh’s window while he was interned in a mental asylum in Saint-Rémy de Provence.

Suzanne Valadon

Portrait with Miss Lily Walton

Centre Pompidiou

Suzanne Valadon was known for her unconventional post-imressionist style, her independent spirit (and  feeding her cats caviar). Her cat Raminou became a great subject in her paintings. She manages to capture (sometimes) haughty yet remarkable companionship that comes with cats.

Joan Mitchell

Fondation Louis Vuitton

I always stop when I see a work of Joan Mitchell. I find them gripping and thought-provoking and intense. As she remarked ones “(m)y paintings aren’t about art issues. They’re about a feeling that comes to me from the outside, from landscape” (J. Mitchell, quoted in M. Tucker, Joan Mitchell, New York, 1974, p. 6).
