sotheby’s is having an auction of impressionist & modern art on 22 june. thought i’d pick out my favourites and see what they’re going for…
henri matisse – oudalisques jouant aux dames : £10,000,000 – £15,000,000
andré derain – arbres a collioure : £9,000,000 – £14,000,000
edouard manet - bouquet de pivoines : £4,000,000 – £6,000,000
egon schiele - portrait of eva freund : £250,000 – £350,000
when you think pointillism your first thought would be seurat – but i’m also infinitely attracted to the works of henri-edmond cross, mostly for his bold palette & dreamy scenes.
the pink cloud – 1896
autumn (also known as profile of lydia) (1880) – mary cassatt
i’m really feeling autumn & winter today. can you tell? the colours are amazing too, obvs.
milenko stevanovic is an art student from belgrade, whose main interests are landscape & figurative painting – he enjoys working directly from life. i love the bright colours and thick brush strokes.
