Édouard Vuillard painted a diverse range of subjects in the 1890s which drew inspiration from Gauguin and Japanese woodcuts as he focused on colour and symbolism rather than naturalism. 'Landscape of the Ile-de-France,' has an air of spontaneity, an impression of a stolen moment

outsourcing is superficially attractive to executives and chairs because it would *appear* to also transfer accountability, introducing another layer between operator-management-governance. but when things go catastrophically wrong the outsourced operation is no protection against accountability

In 1936, Cedric Morris stated he wished 'to provoke a lively sympathy with the mood of the birds which ornithological exactitude may tend to destroy.' The scene looks towards Stoke-by-Nayland church (painted by Constable in 1810) near Morris' home at Pound Farm Higham in Suffolk.

This drawing of an approaching storm (around 1913) shows Paul Henry's consumate skill with charcoal, the location is likely to be the village of Dugort on the island of Achill on the west coast of Ireland.

'Chant du lointain.' In September 1906, Fernand Hodler stayed in Interlaken where this work was painted. It was a period where clothes became atemporal, draped to emphasise movement; emphatic gestures were inspired by modern dance and experimental ways of expressing emotion.
