    September 22, 2022 / 0 Comments

    La peinture mexicaine n'est devenue internationalement reconnue qu’au début du 20e siècle. Ce fut le mouvement muraliste, à partir des années 1920, fortement lié à la révolution mexicaine de la décennie précédente, à partir de laquelle de grands artistes comme José Clémente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros et Diego Rivera ont émergé. Rarement l'art a été plus politique.

    Shelley’s Art Musings – Delacroix Sexist?

    September 27, 2018 / 0 Comments

      It’s an iconic and powerfully strong image, isn’t it. Lady Liberty leading the charge of freedom, in what is known as Delacroix’s most famous painting, but the symbolism and composition of the piece have opened debates around sexism and imagery. Delacroix was notorious for his dramatic paintings, but audiences found his topics and depictions rather hard to stomach, as the scenes are overly violent, too grand, oversized and overpowering in the response that they almost demand.

    Élisabeth Louise Vigée-Lebrun : beauté, talent et modernité

    January 7, 2016 / 0 Comments

    Élisabeth Louise Vigée-Lebrun fut célèbre par son talent et par sa beauté. Son talent lui valut d’être admise aux académies de peinture de France, de Rome, de Parme, de Bologne et bien d’autres. Sa beauté lui valut d’être une femme à la mode, et l’agrément de son esprit de garder longtemps cette faveur qui l’entourait des gens les plus distingués de son siècle. Tout ceci se passait avant la première Révolution. Cette beauté, ce talent, cet esprit, furent dans tout l’éclat de leur brillante jeunesse sous le règne de Louis XVI, et la manière dont on accueillit et fêta ses avantages chez les princes et chez le roi prouve une…
