As usual, I couldn’t help it and made a separate post for the Impressionists with a little background on the Denver Art Museum. This post is “everything else.” Should I be concerned that art for me falls into only two categories, “impressionists” and “not-impressionists?” Nope!
The cover photo to this post is Freighters of ‘48, Allen Tupper True, 1911. (His work is also on display in the Wyoming State Capitol that we recently visited.)
Bullfight, Elaine de Kooning, 1959.
The accompanying sign to Bullfight suggested looking at the painting in black and white to better see the bullfight. Oh, sure, there it is.
Mountain Lake (Lower Chicago Lake, Colorado), Albert Bierstadt, 1863.
Robert Louis Stevenson, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, 1887-88.
Meadow, DRIFT, 2017. “Inspired by flowers that open in response to the warmth of sunlight and close at night.” The colors for this exhibit were chosen based on wildflowers native to Colorado.
The Ten Cent Breakfast, Willard LeRoy Metcalf, 1887. “This gathering of friends is a who’s who of American artists in France in the late 1800s. Willard LeRoy Metcalf, possibly the man seated at left, painted this in Giverny…where Claude Monet had just moved a few years before. Metcalf was sojourning there with fellow artist Theodore Robinson (seated at center). The standing figure might be Childe Hassam or John Singer Sargent, who was visiting Monet at the time. There is little doubt that the man reading the paper is the writer Robert Louis Stevenson.”
A Collaboration (Moliere and Corneile), Jean-Leon Gerome, about 1873. “Seated here are two giants of 1600s literature. On the left, Moliere, master of comedies, is relaxed and self-confident. On the right, Pierre Corneille, renowned for his tragedies, leans forward in concentration. He is intently reading the tragicomic play Psyche, which the two wrote together.” Gerome won a medal of honor for this painting of an imagined encounter at the 1874 Paris Salon.
50 Seas, Mathieu Lahanneur, 2018. “This series of sculptures explores our planet’s diverse and rhythmic bodies of water… Each disc captures the unique hue of a precise location.” 15 of the total 50 in the series are displayed here.
I think this one is Sea 31, Sea of Japan, but I forgot to make it clear to myself, so…
Still Life, Hans Hofmann, 1936.
Lola of Santa Fe, 1902. It’s by our newly discovered artist, Robert Henri!
“The Tenth Law,” Don’t You Go Frettin’, Sallie, I’ll Tend To It, William H. D. Koerner, 1922. I love the title!
Thirst/Exposure/In Place, Fazal Sheikh. Photographs from projects on the Colorado Plateau 2017-2023 that show the “consequences of extractive industry and climate change.”
Sedan Chair from France, 1700s.
Man’s Court Coat, England, 1700s.
Portrait of Captain George Porter, A View of Constantinople (Istanbul) Beyond, John Hoppner, 1789.
