Reginald Brill
'The Morning Commute,' (c1950) is typical of Reginald Brill's keenly observed depictions of people, and of the gritty, low-toned style he sometimes used to heighten atmosphere. Recently, his work has begun to receive the attention it is due.

Leo Putz
'Autumn.' (1908) Leo Putz studied at the Académie Julian under William Bouguereau but despite his academic training, he was more interested in avant garde subjects and impressionistic forms of expression being pioneered by Gauguin and Renoir, which informed his own work.

Bravo to the uber talented Kahanes!
"A musical roller coaster of a journey bursting with drama, detail and invention ... a dazzling concerto du jour that glows with an exhilarating sense of its own clear purpose and inevitability." —Gramophone review of @gabrielkahane.bsky.social's 'Heirloom' www.gramophone.co.uk/review/kahan...

Maurice-Quentin de La Tour
One of the greatest pastellists of the 18thC, Maurice-Quentin de La Tour is known as much for his insight into the character of his sitters as for his remarkable command of the medium. This superb self-portrait is from around 1737.

John Arnesby Brown
'The Line of the Plough.' (1919) John Arnesby Brown's painting was the first picture he made in the spring following the end of WW1. It suggests the start of the cycle of life and new beginnings after the shattered landscapes he witnessed in France and Belgium during the war.

Can’t believe I’ve been awake since it was dark outside. I’m not a morning person at all. We’re up early because 14 has a private skating lesson. There’s a holiday show coming and she’s very excited about participating.
I love that kid a lot. Damnit.

Van Gogh
Van Gogh’s ‘Field with Poppies’ was painted from an elevated viewpoint during his stay in Saint-Paul Asylum. Its acquisition in 1911 by a German gallery was criticised as being part of a perceived “foreign infiltration of German art” by French paintings (Kunsthalle Bremen, 1889)
