Edgar Degas 1834-1917L’Absinthe 1875-6Oil on canvasMusée d’Orsay, Paris
___
Degas portrays the seedier side of Parisian café life. The body language and expression of the young girl and her companion show the effects of the rough, poisonous green alcohol, often referred to as the green fairy.
When Degas exhibited the painting it caused public outrage, not least because he had shown well-known celebrities in private. The woman was the actress Ellen André; the man, a bohemian artist named Marcellin Désboutin.

Jylian Gustlin
Bivium 38
48” x 48”
___
“Figures have always been an important part of Gustlin’s work. Her characters are frequently set in an alien-like landscape, moody and brooding, yet at the same time, depicting a sense of future. For the last several years, Jylian has been working on a series of paintings, related to the Fibonacci mathematical theory, which calculations create rectangles and shell spirals based on the incrementally increasing numbers. She is also exploring the relationship of Fibonacci numbers to the petals on flowers and how to use these ideas in paintings as well as the relationship of Fibonacci to musical scales and the 5-tone scale, 8-tone scale, and 13-tone scale. She continues to explore science and mathematics and how it intersects with the arts.”

John Singer Sargent (1856-1925)Portrait of Edouard and MarieLoise PailleronOil on canvas1881175.3 x 152.4 cm(5’ 9.02” x 4’ 12”)Des Moines Art Center (Iowa, United States)
___
“The Pailleron children evince no childish appeal - they look haughtily at the viewer. They display no signs of affection or awareness of each other: it is almost as if Sargent painted two portraits on the same canvas rather that a double portrait of siblings. Marie-Louise is entirely self-possessed and looks almost regal, seated on her pile of oriental carpets. Her father remarked that she looks like ‘Joan of Arc hearing the voices’.”

John Singer Sargent (1856-1925)Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose (Detail)Oil on canvas1885-1886153.67 x 173.99 cm(5’ x 5’ 8½”)Tate Gallery (London, United Kingdom)
___
“John Singer Sargent is considered the last great generalist, easily mastering Impressionism, classic portraiture, landscape, water color, murals, and even sculpture. An American-born painter, he became the darling of Paris, and, at the height of his fame, suddenly devoted himself to landscape art, much to the dismay of Europe’s high society who were all vying for portrait sittings with him. Sargent painted two U.S. presidents, the new barons of business, war generals, and other cultural artists, just as passionately as he painted gypsies, street children, fishing boats, and his sleeping friends. During WWI, Sargent worked on the front line to document the atrocities of war.”
