Can't help but wonder about all the people in history who have seen this and had no explanation but got to experience the moment.

Man Ray :
Noire et Blanche (French: Black and White), 1926

Gelatin silver print
17.1 × 22.5 cm | 6.75 × 8-7/8 in

Further description in the alt text 👇
The title of the photograph refers both to the medium of black and white photography and the duality expressed in the dichotomy between the caucasian female model and the African black mask. The photograph depicts the famous French model Kiki de Montparnasse, posing expressionless, with her eyes closed and her head lying on a table, holding with her left hand a black African mask vertically upon its surface. The picture juxtaposes the similarities between the soft oval white face of the model, as if she were a living mask, with the shiny black mask, also with eyes closed and a serene expression. It also expresses the artist's interest in African art, which had a huge influence in the artistic movements of the first decades of the 20th century.

Pink ladies
Oil painting of a pale woman with pink irises and a short, black, bob hair do. The background is also pink. She wears deep red lipstick and a simple, dark blue top. She is in 3/4 view and her eyes are focused somewhere off canvas. The cropping of the composition is close. An oil painting of a young woman, head and shoulders. The colors are saturated with greens and reds in the flesh tones. Her hair is long and bright, orange-red. The view is head on, but her teal eyes focus up and to the left of frame. She wears a yellow tank top and patches of pink background show in the upper corners behind her head. The brush strokes are loose and fluid.

Paul Gauguin :
Allee des Alyscamps, 1888

oil on canvas
72.5 x 91.5 cm | 28.5 x 36 in

Sompo Museum of Art, Tokyo

A flurry of golden-yellow and burnt-orange brushstrokes imbues Gauguin’s 1888 painting Lane at Alyscamps, Arles with a sense of movement and atmosphere. The work suggests the gentle rustle and fall of leaves on a crisp autumn day. The fleeting beauty of the changing seasons frames Gauguin’s view of an ancient cemetery, consecrated for the burial of Christians in the third century by the first bishop of Arles. The passage of time is palpable in the deterioration of the Roman necropolis. Little remains of this grand monument, aside from a few empty sarcophagi and an avenue lined with poplars on the painting’s left side. Lane at Alyscamps, Arles encapsulates a short, but rich period of collaboration and creativity when Gauguin and Vincent Van Gogh painted side-by-side, in friendship and in competition, on the plains of the Crau, and at Alyscamps. With much anticipation, van Gogh prepared to receive Gauguin for a 6 month stay in his newly rented home, known as ‘the Yellow House’, decorating a bedroom for Gauguin with his recent paintings of sunflowers. Van Gogh took Gauguin to his favourite sites and the pair worked at Alyscamps for 4 days before heavy rains forced them indoors. Gauguin painted 2 views of the cemetery alongside van Gogh’s four. Gauguin’s inclination towards rusticity is evident in his decision not to disguise the coarseness of the canvas, instead allowing its weave to show through. Living in cramped quarters and with no respite from the rain, a drunken argument occurred on 23 December. Van Gogh lunged at Gauguin with a razor, and the latter fled for Paris. The following morning, a remorseful van Gogh turned the blade on himself, cutting off a portion of his left ear. The 2 artists never saw each other again. Gauguin later claimed to have been unimpressed by the Roman cemetery at Arles and the flat treeless landscape of the Camargue area. Looking at Lane at Alyscamps, Arles this is hard to believe.
