The Pursuit of Luxe Calme et Volupté

Life should be lush

Moise Kisling, La Femme au pull over rouge, 1917. Very moving work of art and so strongly saturated in reds and yellows.  I feel like those fruits are a little nod to Cézanne, an artist that so many were inspired by in the 1920s including Kisling.

I went to an exhibit on Soutine and Modigliani a week or so ago and I wanted to talk about Chaim Soutine a little bit.  I don’t know what world he lived in- but it must have been a mad mad world.  From what I understand he was a very disturbed man.  His paintings are so frenetic and seemed to have been painted with such a strong sense of urgency.  Unfortunately I don’t think Soutine translates very well on online pictures because he cakes on his paint so thickly.  my favorite painting by him is an elongated portrait in green and yellow of a man in a hat.  You can see it in google images but like I said it really doesn’t do it justice. Soutine, Les Gorges du Loup sur Vence
