Morning Sun by Edward Hopper, 1952, Columbus Museum of Art (Ohio) ##ArtHistory #ModernArt #Modernism #Neoclassicism
A woman sits on a bed, facing sunlight coming in from the window. She is wearing a coral-colored dress and her hair is in a simple bun. Her face, in profile, has a contemplative expression.


Hopper's paintings often depict one solitary figure. The loneliness evoked in his paintings create an uncanny urban scene.

The painting may be a reference to Edgar Degas’s Woman at a Window. It is known that his wife Jo gifted him a book on Degas's art before he created Morning Sun. Both Degas's and Hopper's paintings feature a woman whose profile is highlighted by a nearby window.

The Olive Trees by Vincent van Gogh, 1889, MoMA-The Museum of Modern Art #ArtHistory #ModernArt #PostImpressionism
In the blazing heat of this Mediterranean afternoon, nothing rests. Against a ground scored as if by some invisible torrent, intense green olive trees twist and crimp, capped by the rolling, dwindling hillocks of the Alpilles, beneath a light-washed sky with a bundled, ectoplasmic cloud.

After van Gogh voluntarily entered the asylum at Saint-Rémy in the south of France in the spring of 1889, he wrote his brother Theo: "I did a landscape with olive trees and also a new study of a starry sky." Later, when the pictures had dried, he sent both of them to Theo in Paris, noting: "The olive trees with the white cloud and the mountains behind, as well as the rise of the moon and the night effect, are exaggerations from the point of view of the general arrangement; the outlines are accentuated as in some old woodcuts."

Van Gogh's letters make it clear that he created this particular intense vista of the southern French landscape as a daylight partner to the visionary nocturne of his more famous canvas, The Starry Night. He felt that both pictures showed, in complementary ways, the principles he shared with his fellow painter Paul Gauguin, regarding the freedom of the artist to go beyond "the photographic and silly perfection of some painters" and intensify the experience of color and linear rhythms.

Lyonel Charles Adrian Feininger (1871-1956) : Vollersroda, 1933 Oil on canvas Dimensions unknown Degenerate Art Metropolitan Museum of Art Further description in the alt text 👇
Feininger was a German-American painter, and leading exponent of Expressionism. His signature personal cubism ("prism-ism"), blending geometric architectural structures with luminous, spiritual light and fragmented forms.

The Bauhaus Closure:
Painted during a turbulent year when the Nazi party forced the closure of the Bauhaus, where Feininger had taught and directed the graphic laboratory. 

Pressure:
Increasing political repression and the labeling of progressive creators as "degenerate" eventually led Feininger and his wife to permanently return to the United States later in the decade. 

Depicts the small village of Vollersroda near Weimar, Germany.

This artwork, "Night Flowers" (also known as "Sunken Landscape" or "Engulfed Landscape"), was created by Swiss-German modernist artist Paul Klee in 1918.
It seamlessly blends elements of Expressionism, Surrealism, and poetic abstraction, showcasing Klee's ability to fuse dreamlike symbols with organic shapes. The piece creates an immersive underwater or nighttime atmosphere, featuring botanical patterns, a crescent moon, a central black sphere (suggesting a dark sun or eclipse), and a towering red architectural form flanked by stylized, dense vegetation. It's a watercolor, ink, and gouache painting on paper, mounted on cardboard, held in the Museum Folkwang in Essen, Germany.

German Expressionism. The picture encloses four figures in a tight, absurd configuration defined by a picture frame and a door frame. Two men dressed as harlequins raise a daringly balanced woman muffled up in winter attire. A waiter in tails with a tray full of champagne glasses slides between the figures. In the background is a broad sky, low-lying snow covered mountains, and two figures in a horse costume.

September's theme: Labor HAROLD WESTON (1894 - 1972), “Building the United Nations #1, Steelwork of Secretariat”, 1949. Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington DC. #arthistory #art #Labor #UnitedNations #NYC
Weston was stricken by polio in 1911 that left his left leg paralyzed. Unable to serve in uniform during World War I, he volunteered through the YMCA as a liaison to the British Army in Baghdad, bringing entertainment activities including art classes to the soldiers; he soon became the Official Painter for the British Army in the Middle East. These years impressed upon him the perils of food insecurity, famine and disease and he spent the rest of his life organizing humanitarian food relief efforts. Back in the US, Weston withdrew to a rustic cabin in the Adirondack Mountains, where he relished the quiet and communed with nature. The outbreak of World War II drew him to Washington DC, where he founded Food for Freedom to combat war-related famine abroad. After the war, he made a series of six paintings (1949 – 1952) of the construction of the United Nations complex in New York City. Unsurprisingly, the UN’s mission aligned perfectly with his personal philosophy of working cooperatively to create a more peaceful world; he believed the United Nations was the “greatest hope for a better world”. “Building the United Nations #1, Steelwork of Secretariat” is bathed in the golden light of optimism. Weston painted in a modernist style, showcasing technology that moves civilization forward. His construction scene is filled with activity as the structure rises up towards the sky, with laborers working together to make this dream building a reality. In addition to his food relief activities, Weston also advocated tirelessly for government support of the arts and the creation of the National Endowment for the Arts; the NEA became a reality when legislation passed in 1965.
