On the Pont de l'Europe by Gustave Caillebotte, 1876-1877, Kimbell Art Museum (Fort Worth, TX)
#Art #ModernArt #Impressionism

More in alt text

Although his closest artist friends were Monet and Renoir, the key advocates for loose brushwork and bright color, Caillebotte preferred the sort of conventional draftsmanship and unaffected urban subjects dear to their fellow Impressionist Degas. Like Degas, he limited himself to strictly subdued visual means, and On the Pont de l'Europe is virtually monochromatic, the pervasive blue tones corresponding in visual terms to the chilling cold in which the figures stand. The man on the left with his collar turned up and the principal figure, their backs turned toward each other, are dressed in identical fashion. The implication perhaps, is that modern urban society appears no less regularized than modern engineering, with its mass-produced prefabricated parapets, girders, and rivets. For his

A fiery collage of red cyclamen flowers radiating out from a woven sphere of yellow and orange with purple light shining within. The sphere rests in the lower right of the viewer's field of vision, with a pair of red roses in the lower right corner, and in the background an abstract pattern resembling roots and branches in white, yellow, orange, and red splashes out from around the cyclamens.

Mercury in Taurus squares Pluto in Aquarius at 0:44am PDT. This transit can offer profound thoughts and transformative conversations, but in the process can also dredge up secrets we might wish would remain hidden.

A barren tree in a surreal landscape filled with blue and purple shadows and an eerie aqua light. A dimly lit lantern hangs from the tree, and an equal-armed cross hovers in the air, with Greek letters dimly seen in the air around it. A Greek temple is faintly seen emerging from the shadows in the background, and luminescent bell-like flowers dangle from the viewer's upper left.

Mercury has entered Taurus at 10:05am PDT, potentially steadying our thoughts while helping us to be more practical in our conversations and less confrontational. Those of us prone to racing thoughts and anxiety may find the rush of ideas slows down to a more manageable pace in the weeks ahead.

A bubble gum pink colored peony bloom is half way open and contrasting against the green background. The multitude of petal layers create texture and color variations within the flower. You can see the blurred outline of other plants and a tall tree behind it.
