Andrew Wyeth

I spent a delightful afternoon leading a tour group from The Village at Orchard Ridge to the National Gallery of Art in DC yesterday. We made the trip to see the wonderful Andrew Wyeth exhibit, “Looking Out- Looking In”. The exhibit closes the end of November and if you haven’t seen it yet you MUST go take a look. Amazing watercolors with a limited palette. Wonderful!

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. “Lady with a Dog”, oil on cardboard, 1891

Auguste Renoir, “Mlle Charlotte Berthier”, oil on canvas, 1883

We had some time to see a lot more art and I will share more with you this week. Here are two we saw in the Impressionist Galleries by Renoir and Toulouse-Lautrec. Of course, they caught my eye because they had pups in them. 🙂

Toulouse-Lautrec at PMA

At the Moulin Rouge: The Dance, painted in 1890 in oil on canvas by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French 1864-1901), is an amazing painting that I saw recently at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The artist wrote in pencil on the back of the canvas identifying the subject as Valentin le Desossee, a well-known cabaret performer shown rehearsing a new dancer at the Moulin Rouge nightclub in Paris. After the painting was exhibited it was acquired by the owners of the Moulin Rouge where it hung over the bar for several years. You can learn more by dialing 267-519-5646 and use #390.

I saw a couple of other of his paintings there including:

Carriage, 1881, oil on wood.

And of course, one of my favorites by Toulouse-Lautrec at the PMA is Follette, 1890, oil on cardboard. It reminded me of another painting that I love of his that I saw at the National Gallery. You can see it here.
