Today is Bastille Day, or La Fête Nationale, which commemorates the start of the French Revolution in 1789, when #OnThisDay a crowd of working class Parisians stormed the Bastille prison to seize the gunpowder stored there. 

Francois Rude’s Departure of the Volunteers in 1792 (La Marseillaise) depicts a moment a few years later, when citizens were called to fight for the young French republic. In this dynamic relief sculpture, a fierce, winged female figure representing Liberty and wearing the distinctive cap worn by freed Roman slaves, urges a group of men to defend their country against Prussia and Austria, who sought to help restore the monarchy that the French had so recently abolished. This terracotta is a maquette, or model, for Rude’s famous sculpture on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

In 1789, many French citizens celebrated liberty and equality  however, many people in the French colonies remained enslaved for decades afterwards, and France did not constitutionally dismantle the institution of slavery until 1848. 

You can take a closer look at Brooklyn’s  Departure of the Volunteers in 1792–and even spot Rude’s own fingerprints in the clay–in “Monet to Morisot: The Real and Imagined in European Art.”

#Repost @paintings_i_love № 3160 Piet Mondrian (Dutch, 1872 – 1944) Farm near Duivendrecht Date​circa 1916 oil on canvas 86.5 x 108.5 cm Art Institute of Chicago • Pieter Cornelis Mondriaan, after 1906 known as Piet Mondrian was a Dutch painter and art theoretician who is regarded as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. He is known for being one of the pioneers of 20th-century abstract art, as he changed his artistic direction from figurative painting to an increasingly abstract style, until he reached a point where his artistic vocabulary was reduced to simple geometric elements. Mondrian's art was highly utopian and was concerned with a search for universal values and aesthetics. He proclaimed in 1914: "Art is higher than reality and has no direct relation to reality. To approach the spiritual in art, one will make as little use as possible of reality, because reality is opposed to the spiritual. We find ourselves in the presence of an abstract art. Art should be above reality, otherwise it would have no value for man." Mondrian's work had an enormous influence on 20th century art, influencing not only the course of abstract painting and numerous major styles and art movements, but also fields outside the domain of painting, such as design, architecture and fashion. • #Mondrian #DutchArt #postimpressionismo #postimpressionisme #Masterpiece #Abstract #oilpainting #artforeveryone #malerei #19thcenturyart #20thcenturyart #NatureMorte #impressionism #postimpressionism #europeanart #landscape (à Sète, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpUMm3MorIF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The birth of the "Reality Report" series

A fusion of personal archives and found objects - an object library where assamblage come alive. Crafted from my own life's collections, discovered memorabilia, and mystical amulets coalesce into abstract collages that provoke inquiries and hint at enigmatic narratives. This series fully manifests my love of things and passionately obsessive desire for collecting and sorting.

Every object in these assemblages bears a unique number accompanied by a description. Within this creative endeavor, my subconscious and unconscious impulses are laid bare. Embark on a journey through the "Reality Report" series, where the convergence of personal and found artifacts unlocks a realm of imagination and contemplation.

IN THE UNHOLY PRESENCE OF THE HORNED ONE -- ACCEPT NO GIFTS.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a religious piece titled "The Devil Presenting St Augustine With The Book Of Vices," a panel of Michael Pacher's "Altarpiece of the Church Fathers" (c. 1483).

OVERVIEW: "The Devil Presenting Saint Augustine with the Book of Vices,"; painting by German artist/painter Michael Pacher (1435-1498), fifteenth century. Some sources claim this is actually a painting of St. Wolfgang, who also has a legendary run-in with the devil.

This panel is on the outside right (i.e. on the back of the Augustine panel), and would have been only visible to church-goers when the altar was closed, i.e. when no service was being held.

no service was being held. It is in the collection of the Alte Pinakothe art museum, Kunstareal, Munich, Germany.
