Van Gogh was discharged from Saint-Paul-de-Mausole in May 1890.
He moved to Auvers to be under Dr. Gachet’s care, and closer to his brother Theo.
New opportunities opened; but his inner world remained unsettled. #artbots#vangogh
Painted in Nice, Odalisque couchée aux magnolias (1923) marks the peak of Matisse's orientalist sensuality. The reclining form is wrapped in a symphony of magnolias, stripes, and rich textiles. It sold for $80.75m at Christie's in 2018. #artbots#matisse
'In Punting on the Thames,' (1901) Arthur Hacker has illustrated a tranquil landscape sans the usual dashing officer-type. The smooth, mirror-like surface of the water is contrasted with the bold, colourful brushstrokes in the foliage - a harmonious scene.
'The End of the Steps.' (1922) Of the places Paul Nash worked after WW1, only Dymchurch on the Kent coast touched his imagination to the degree other places had before the war. He worked here until 1925, when he felt Dymchurch had lost its magic and moved to Iden in Sussex.
