Monday Morning Museum: André Kertész

André Kertész – Monday 2 July 1894 Budapest, Hungary to Saturday 28 September 1985 New York, New York

Hungarian-born American Photographer

It was in the midst of his French period (circa 1925 to 1936), that Kertész shot this photograph - Clock of the Académie Française, Paris, 1932 – looking towards the Pont des Arts and the Palais du Louvre, places I’ve been often and enjoyed.

Monday Morning Museum: Paul Cézanne

Paul Cézanne – Saturday 19 January 1839 Aix-en-Provence, France to Monday 22 October 1906 Aix-en-Provence, France

French Post-Impressionist Painter


In keeping with presenting landscape works by Paul Cézanne, this piece – In The Woods, 1897-1898 – appeals to me because of the cool colors used, giving a refresh sense to the subject matter.

Andreas Achenbach – Friday 29 September 1815 Kassel, Germany to Friday 1 April 1910 Dusseldorf, Germany

German Landscape Painter


Here is an early Andreas Achenbach work – Landschaft mit Kirche von Schwarzrheindorf, 1839 – that I like because of the overall color of the painting.

Monday Morning Museum: Annibale Carracci

Annibale Carracci – Sunday 3 November 1560 Bologna, Italy to Saturday 15 July 1609 Rome, Italy

Italian Baroque Era Painter


I receive a real sense of serenity when I look at – Roman Landscape, circa 1600 – which is a much simpler view of Rome than the one I know from my only visit to the Eternal City

Monday Morning Museum: Thomas Sully

Thomas Sully – Thursday 19 June 1783 Horncastle, England to Tuesday 5 November 1872 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

English-born American Portrait Painter


In addition to portraits, Thomas Sully also painted other subject matters such as – Capuchin Chapel, 1821 – which I like because of his use of perspective.
