Étienne Bouchaud, Three Figures in an Interior, oil on canvas.

[darklingvd]

Three Figures in an Interior, oil on canvas by Étienne Bouchaud, created sometime between 1898 and 1989. In this quiet interior, Bouchaud lets the light linger on three male figures—one standing, one reading, one resting—forming a gentle triangle of intimacy. Nothing dramatic unfolds, yet everything is about presence, ease, and the understated beauty of being at home together.

Kōno Michisei - Self-Portrait (1917)

Kohno Michisei, seen here at twenty-two, presents himself in a pose modeled on Western Renaissance master Albrecht Durer's (1471-1528) self-portrait produced in 1500. Between 1914 and 1924 a remarkable quantity of high-quality portraiture was produced by Japanese artists who blended Western and East Asian painting traditions. While some of these painters had first-hand knowledge of Western painting, most, like Michisei, culled their images from books and magazines. The young artist was raised in an environment filled with powerful iconic images. His father was a portrait photographer, an artist in both Japanese and Western modes, and an active member of the Russian Orthodox Church. These influences are readily apparent in this self-portrait. Michisei's perceptive understanding of classic Western images was based on constant perusal of his father's extensive library; a portrait's potential for psychological and spiritual impact was impressed on him through exposure to religious icons used in the Orthodox liturgy.

Edward Harrison May - Isaac Merrit Singer (1869)

An actor turned inventor, Isaac Singer democratized clothing production with the sewing machine he patented in 1851. Although not the first (Elias Howe introduced a design in 1846), Singer’s machine was more reliable and could sew nine hundred stitches per minute, whereas Howe’s model only sewed 250. Within two years, it was hailed as “one of the most efficient labor-saving devices ever introduced to public notice.” Aiming the product at women and putting it within reach of a wide range of buyers, Singer and his business partner Edward Clark established an international commercial empire. Singer commissioned this portrait while living in Paris, after scandals about his private life forced him to relocate to Europe. U.S. artist Edward Harrison May painted him in clothing that reflects his wealth and notorious extravagance. (source)
