The only good thing about strip mining is that they no longer use kids in the mines and pit ponies.

What I did not know until a few minutes ago is that they also had pit cats. 🙀 (for rat catching)

There is something about early #1910s silhouettes that I find deeply appealing. It might be the frequent asymmetry or the elongated skirts with the the directoire bustline. Or the sharp detailing perhaps. Whatever it is, I like it a lot. Blue velvet c1913 #thekyotocostumeinstitute #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

There are many lovely details to this c1913 Liberty dress. The soft belt fastened with a stylised silk rose, the scrolling embroidery at the hips & chiffon infill at the neck all lend it a calming quality. It just needs a fragrant cup of tea @jbrightcollection.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Juan Gris :
Landscape and Houses at Ceret, 1913

Oil on canvas
100 x 65 cm | 39-3/8 x 25-5/8 in

Further description in the alt text 👇
The year 1913 was a pivotal one in the development of Gris’ art. It was at this time that he began to enrich the colour and forms of his paintings, progressing from analytical to synthetic Cubism. Moving away from the chromatic austerity of early Cubism, his paintings demonstrate a new interest in strong, vibrant colour, with pronounced tonal contrasts, as well as a new emphasis on modelling and texture. His trip to Céret in the summer of 1913 was the first time Gris left Paris since his arrival there in 1906, and it may have been due to this change and to the picturesque character of the town nestled in the mountains, that the artist discovered this new direction in his painting. Dominated by primary colours mixed with green and purple, the composition of Paysage et maisons à Céret is broken into geometric forms. Moving away from the pronounced vertical emphasis of his previous works, Gris introduced here intersecting diagonal lines, subverting the sense of depth and perspective, and underlining the flatness of the painting’s surface. The sharp angles and pronounced square and triangular forms are counter-balanced by the irregular shapes of the row of trees in the foreground, echoed by what appears like their shadow in the upper part of the composition. In the following months, Gris further explored this technique in works such as Le Fumeur (fig. 4) as well as a number of still-lifes, a genre which accounts for the majority of his artistic output during this period. The present work therefore represents a rare example of a pure landscape in Gris’ work, as well as an important milestone in the development of synthetic Cubism.

Very sad to see this part of the former Western Infirmary being held up by shipping containers. Is this an emergency fix? The road was closed on Monday due to a dangerous building.

The Philosopher’s Conquest
oil on canvas
1913–14
Giorgio de Chirico (1888–1978)
Italian, born Greece

The work of Giorgio de Chirico represents an unexpected form of classicism in early avant-garde painting. This canvas, one of six in a series, combines a Mediterranean cityscape with still-life objects. Familiar elements appear in many of de Chirico’s paintings like pieces of a mysterious puzzle: a classical arcade, oddly oversize artichokes, a cannon and cannonballs, a clock, an industrial brick chimney, a monumental tower, a running train, and a square-rigged sailing ship. Here the stage set for this extraordinary juxtaposition of objects is an Italian piazza, virtually deserted except for the menacing shadowy figures outside the edge of the scene. De Chirico represented objects with a matter-of-fact, though intentionally crude, precision. He painted his scenes flatly, in bright colors, and illuminated them with a cold white light. Rendered in this clear style, works like The Philosopher’s Conquest seem rife with meaning, though they remain resolutely enigmatic. Indeed, by juxtaposing incongruous objects, the artist sought to produce a metaphysical quality, what he called “art that in certain aspects resembles … the restlessness of myth.” De Chirico’s works would profoundly affect the Surrealists, who in the 1920s and 1930s attempted to portray dreams and images of the subconscious in their work.

'Three Fishermen.' (c1913) While nearby Penzance burgeoned as a holiday resort, Newlyn in Cornwall remained a working port supporting a tightly knit community. In Harold Harvey's painting, we see him using a naturalistic style reminiscent of painters such as Dod Procter.

“Let it be understood that in the winter with a low sun it makes all the difference if a painter outside can be sheltered from sun & wind. He is then in a perfect open-air studio & can see what he is doing.”
