The Minotaur by George Frederic Watts

The Minotaur

In this terrible figure, half man, half bull, gazing over the sea from the battlement of a hill tower, we see the artist's representation of the greed and lust associated with modern civilisations. The picture was exhibited at the Winter Exhibition of the New Gallery, 1896, and formed part of the Watts Gift in 1897. It hangs in the Watts Room at the Tate Gallery.

Italy, and particularly Florence, was perpetual fascination and inspiration to Watts. There he imbibed the influences of Orcagna and Titian--influences, indeed, which were clearly represented in the next monumental painting which he attempted. It came about that Lord Holland persuaded his guest to enter a fresh competition for the decoration of the Parliament Houses, and Watts carried off the prize with his "Alfred inciting the Saxons to resist the landing of the Danes." The colour and movement of the great Italian masters, conspicuously absent from the "Caractacus" cartoon, were to be seen in this new effort, where, as has been said, the English king stands like a Raphaelesque archangel in the midst of the design.

Suzanne, 1894

Firstborn child, aged ten, standing on a stool in a corner of wall-painting designs and Renaissance grotesques.Pontus Fürstenberg, who had commissioned this picture, accoladed it and the adjacent portrait of Lisbeth with andadmiring '' Bravo, Bravo, Bravissimo'' and resquested the double portrait of the brothers on the facing page.

The red accent in the midst of the luxuriant green is typical of Carl Larsson's art.Illustration Page.

Esbjörn, 1900,

As indicated by title, which Larsson often insterted as a sign, Esbjörn, born in 1900 as their seventh child, constitutes the subject of the picture.The painter also takes this idea into account in the bodly intersected figure of the child's mother.

HOPE

At the first glance it is rather strange that such a picture should bear such a title, but the imagery is perfectly true.The heavens are illuminated by a solitary star, and Hope bends her ear to catch the music from the last remaining string of her almost shattered lyre. The picture was painted in 1885 and given to the nation in 1897. A very fine duplicate is in the possession of Mrs. Rushton.]

It was a peculiar difficulty of his nature which led him to insist, on the occasions of the London and provincial exhibitions of his pictures, that the borrowers were to make all arrangements with his frame-maker, that he should not be called upon to act in any way, and that no personal reference should be introduced. Watts always considered himself a private person; he disliked public functions and fled from them if here were any attempt to draw attention to him. His habits of work were consistent with these unusual traits. At sunrise he was at his easel.During the hot months of summer he was hard at work in his London studio, leaving for the country only for a few weeks during foggy weather.


At the age of sixty-nine Watts married Miss Mary Fraser-Tytler, with whom he journeyed to Egypt, painting there a study of the "Sphinx," one of the cleverest of his landscapes. Three years after his return, he settled at Limnerslease, Compton, in Surrey, where he took great interest in the attempt to revive industrial art among the rural population.

Twice, in 1885 and 1894, the artist refused, for private reasons, the baronetcy that other artists had accepted. He lived henceforth and died the untitled patriot and artist, George Frederick Watts.

'' Shi'i Islam has been the official religion of Iran from the Safavids (1501-1732) to the present day. The Shi'i world experience has provided a rich artistic tradition, encompassing painting, sculpture and the production of artefacts and performance, which has helped to embed Shi'i identity in Iran as part of its national narrative.'' *

Robert Rauschenberg

Robert Rauschenberg (October 22, 1925 – May 12, 2008) was an American artist who came to prominence in the 1950s transition from Abstract Expressionism to Pop Art. Rauschenberg is well-known for his "Combines" of the 1950s, in which non-traditional materials and objects were employed in innovative combinations. Rauschenberg was both a painter and a sculptor and the Combines are a combination of both, but he also worked with photography, printmaking, papermaking, and performance.He was awarded the National Medal of Arts in 1993.
