The Kitchen

Artist: Duncan Grant (Scottish, 1885–1978)

Date: 1902

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Tate Britain, London, United Kingdom

Description

The view is inside the Grant family home at Streatley-on-Thames, painted when he was seventeen. In 1902 he went to the Westminster School of Art, overcoming his family’s wish that he should join the army. Both his determination to pursue a career as an artist, and the quality of this very early painting, show his extraordinary talent. The colouring – controlled and yet rich – is comparable to recent work showing figures in interiors, perhaps most strongly those by Gwen John also shown in this room.

Portrait of Mrs. N. C. Wyeth

Artist: Henriette Wyeth (American, 1907-1997)

Date: 1929

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Brandywine Museum of Art, Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, United States

Description

Henriette Wyeth’s talents as an artist were recognized as early as age sixteen when she began painting family members and receiving portrait commissions from prominent residents of Pennsylvania and Delaware. In this bold, beautifully designed depiction of her mother, Wyeth demonstrates her adoption of a Modernist decorative approach as well as her desire to express a connection with her subject.

Hesiod

Hesiod (fl. c. 700 BC) was an Ancient Greek poet generally thought to have been active between 750 and 650 BC, around the same time as Homer.

Several of Hesiod's works have survived in their entirety. Among these are Theogony, which tells the origins of the gods, their lineages, and the events that led to Zeus's rise to power, and Works and Days, a poem that describes the five Ages of Man, offers advice and wisdom, and includes myths such as Pandora's box.

Hesiod is generally regarded by Western authors as 'the first written poet in the Western tradition to regard himself as an individual persona with an active role to play in his subject.' Ancient authors credited Hesiod and Homer with establishing Greek religious customs. Modern scholars refer to him as a major source on Greek mythology, farming techniques, early economic thought, Archaic Greek astronomy, cosmology, and ancient time-keeping.
