Art Review, Month

REVIEW ETHOS My ethos when it comes to reviews and the mechanics of the way my opinions function in its truest alignment, is not much really needs to be said. Therefore it is allowed and should be brief, extending it would be just useless words. The art showcased is ONLY shown if something is felt, there will be no other pictures of art that did not register or provoke something in me. The curation IS the review. If I walk into the museum, gallery, or street and nothing responds-no matter how acclaimed-I will NOT showcase it.

Love.

Abel

Camille Félix Bellanger Abel Entre 1874 et 1875 Huile sur toile H. 110,5 ; L. 215,4 cm. Achat à Camille Félix Bellanger, 1875 © Musée d’Orsay, Dist. RMN-Grand Palais / Patrice Schmidt

This piece carried such a unsettling, potent energy of morbid death.

Le Lit

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec Le Lit Vers 1892 Huile sur carton marouflé sur bois parqueté H. 53,5 ; L. 70,0 cm. Legs Antonin Personnaz, 1937 © RMN-Grand Palais (Musée d’Orsay) / Hervé Lewandowski

Just makes a heart happy. :) .Additionally, what an intrestiting thought of how the details of this scene could come about, whether he was in the room and captured a moment, or if he was thinking back to a moment or in one, and then would have thought of it in a third person perspective.

Figure Tombee, Jean Helion

The Strokes.

Every inch of every movment, curve, border, horizontal, vertical, could and will spend a very long time looking at these parts and areas.

NOTE: HIGHLY RECOMEND CLICKING THE PHOTO AND EXPLORING EVERY DETAIL, THE WEBSITE AND SOURCE PROVIDE A GREAT LEVEL OF HIGH QUALITY DETAIL TO ALLOW FOR IT.

Carles, Jean Helion

This is my first time being introduced to the order shown here. A painting in which you see the abstract thinking and the direct, untainted, transfer of idea to reality that is able to be achieved through communication as shape. Though the interesting aspect here, is that the creation of a scene in the areas created, but still being able to clearly see the lines and shapes that are being focused.

Drawings

Amazing example of what a drawing can be.

Study of Colours

All amazing pieces of craftsmanship really allowed a beautiful study of colour, all done with exceptional craftsmanship and highly regarded materials…
