About the Item
Real Cubism This pastel Golden Cubism – 21-02-21 is the first real cubist drawing in my Golden series. After my last pastel drawing Lakshmi – 16-02-21 I realized I only made pastels in my Roundism style. The last one in that style was ‘Golden Lilac – 07-02-21’. What if I would return to the initial form of cubism I employed back in 2014. Besides that, once in a while my preference is to put the stress on angular forms rather than round ones. Variety is the spice of life. Shy for Color My graphite pencil drawing ‘Nude – 01-11-19’ served as the motif for this pastel. The objective was the same as its predecessors: to introduce and study the realm of colors. Forms and tonality I already got in so many a drawing. Color relations are hard to get your head around but that does not keep me from trying. In the past I solved many color related problems by seeking balance in hefty colors. As long as I counterbalanced one with its complementary counterpart the image would become attractive. At least that has been my main attitude towards the matter. Lately I came to realize I had to overcome my aversion to brown and gray colors. There is so much subtlety to be found in them. Golden Middle Way Perhaps my reluctance was prompted by so many brownish paintings from the 17th, 18th and 19th century. Since modernists took over color has been reassessed anyway. But brown? Brrr, or not? In many of my pastels in the hatched strokes style I placed complementary and half-complementary colors next to eachother. Such solved all too hefty color saturation because these strokes tend to cancel themselves out that way. In this pastel I sought for a balance between patches of color of high saturation and lower saturated ones. It goes beyond saying that the first ones are to be found in the dominant theme: the model herself. In order to start a meaningful dialogue I let these colors reappear in the negative space around it. The Result This way harmony as well as contrast is preserved. My favorite complementary duo yellow-purple still is the dominant factor, whereas browish yellow and other grays form the bulk of the drawing.

- La femme préhistorique (Prehistoric Woman)By James Jacques Joseph TissotLocated in New Orleans, LAJames Tissot was among the most successful and critically acclaimed artists of the Victorian era. Although the artist is celebrated for his elegant scenes of fashionable life in Paris and London, this work is a fascinating rarity within his oeuvre. In this monumental pastel, Tissot depicts a prehistoric woman draped in a tiger skin, presented with a striking pose and heroic air. His delicate portraiture, combined with his fascination with conveying texture, demonstrates why he was one of the most revered artists of his generation, and La femme préhistorique illustrates the remarkable technique for which he was renowned. This work was completed in preparation for a series of works exploring the Old Testament undertaken by Tissot from 1899-1902 that remained unfinished at the time of his death. A portion of this series focused on illustrations of Adam and Eve, and among these sketches were images of a nude Eve partially draped in animal furs. Towards the end of his life, following his conversion to Catholicism, biblical subjects became important to the artist. A few years before this work was completed, Tissot embarked upon a highly ambitious group of nearly 300 watercolors illustrating the New Testament, presenting the illustrated epic in its entirety at the Paris Salon of 1894. Both of these series were a critical artistic departure for the artist, stemming from a desire to create works separated from his typical images of modern society. This pastel imagines Eve as the prototype of womanhood in the guise of a prehistoric woman. Tissot rarely painted the nude, and his skill as a draftsman highlights the figure's natural beauty, contrasting it with the stark landscape surrounding her. Although a study, this monumental work is incredibly well-finished and highly engaging, with the statuesque model commanding the majority of the canvas. Her pose is strong and theatrical, and she addresses the viewer with a direct, confident gaze. The imagined historical subject of this drawing is grounded by Tissot’s exceptional attention to detail. A master of conjuring an array of textures, Tissot showcased this ability in this work by juxtaposing many types of fabrics and natural elements within one composition. The tiger skin with which the woman partially covers herself was a favorite studio prop of Tissot’s, appearing in many of his most influential works from the period, including several paintings of his partner and favorite model Kathleen Newton. It, in particular, showcases the artist’s understanding of texture, yet it also serves as an exotic element that elevates the sensuality of the scene when placed against the woman’s bare skin. Born in 1836 in the port town of Nantes, Tissot traveled to Paris at the age of 20 in order to join the studios of Hippolyte Flandrin and Louis Lamothe. During this period, he became close with James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Edgar Degas and Edouard Manet, and the impact of these friendships is reflected in his portraits of modern life. Having enjoyed considerable success in Paris during the 1860s, Tissot fought in the Siege of Paris, and after the fall of the Commune in 1871, he went to London, where he stayed for the next ten years. He was met with incredible success there, and he also met the love of his life, Kathleen Newton, a divorcée, with whom he lived from about 1876 until her death in 1882. Today he is regarded among the great masters of Belle Époque painting, and his works can be found in important collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the National Gallery of Art, the Musée d’Orsay, the Tate Gallery and many others. This pastel remained in Tissot's private collection until his death in 1902 and is referenced in the posthumous 1902-3 valuation of Tissot's home at 64 avenue du Bois...Category
