Beneath its air of gestural chaos, Joan Mitchell's Hudson River reveals a rigorous composition. The underlying orthogonal structure organizes the space, while a rhythmic dynamic, akin to the flow of a river, gives life to her canvas. Each gesture, each interval, obeys a precise logic: that of the golden ratio, discreetly at work in this explosion of color.#joanmitchell #hudsonriver #artabstrait #nombredor #culturepainting
Joan Mitchell, a dazzling figure of abstract expressionism, has made color a language in its own right. From her New York beginnings to her European influence, her career is that of a woman who imposed her voice in a male-dominated environment, without ever softening her gesture or diluting her vision.Painting was, for her, a vital necessity. Her abstraction, far from being cold or intellectual, is visceral, lyrical and inhabited. A work in which the intimate becomes universal.#JoanMitchell #ExpressionismAbstract #ArtContemporain #AbstractionLyrique #FemmesArtistes #PeintureModerne
At Eternity's Gate (2018)-a film that makes you feel the light, the madness, the genius. #vangogh #peinture
Joan Mitchell presents her first abstract canvases, marked by striking contrasts and assertive gestures: a veritable visual exploration that redefines the codes of painting. #joanmitchell #artabstract
Figure and City marks a turning point in Joan Mitchell's work: her last figurative canvas before she fully embraced lyrical abstraction. Les Échos d'un monde tangible (Echoes of a Tangible World) can still be seen, but is soon swallowed up by the gestural élan and chromatic fulgurances that would come to define her style. #joanmitchell #peinturemoderne #abstractionlyrique #histoiredelart #expressionnismeamericain
In Rothko, every surface becomes a passageway - from inside to outside, from matter to light.The gesture is slow, artisanal.Emotion comes from a silent tension, not from spectacular effect.#MarkRothko #PeintureAbstraite #ArtModerne #Sensibilité #LumièreEtCouleur
"Saint John the Baptist with the ram" - Caravaggio (circa 1602)In this powerful work, Caravaggio breaks with the traditional depiction of Saint John the Baptist. Far from the usual asceticism, the young saint is shown in a meditative, sensual pose, bathed in light and shadow. The ram, an enigmatic companion, symbolizes both sacrifice and tamed wilderness. A scene where mysticism and realism meet with intensity.#caravaggio #saintjeanbaptiste #artbaroque #clairobscur #peintureitalienne

Exiled, broke, stubborn - he pushed the canvas to the point of exhaustion, and it was the canvas that kept him on his feet.Each stab bears the mark of a sleepless night and a mad gamble.Painting: how much more ink will flow to tell the story of a man who had nothing left... except the need to paint.#NicolasDeStaël #PeintureVécue #Persévérance #ArtModerne #CulturePeinture
Willem de Kooning, a major figure in Abstract Expressionism, left his mark on 20th-century art with his powerful, gestural compositions. This movement, born in the United States in the 1940s, values raw emotion and spontaneous gesture. De Kooning brought to it a unique tension between abstraction and figuration, notably through his famous series of women.How do you feel about Willem de Kooning's work?#willemdekooning #expressionismabstract #artmodern 1TP5Gestual painting

In the mechanical world, division is method: each part is adjusted to the whole according to clear, calculated, controlled proportions.It's a composition guided by regularity: repetition, symmetry, measured balance.Here, everything is constructed, each element finds its place in a logic of precision.An artificial order, yes - but one that conveys clarity, rhythm and intelligibility.1TP5Mechanicalcomposition1TP5Visualorder1TP5Rationalproportions1TP5Repetitionthetics1TP5Formallanguage

Rothko's 'Untitled' (1948): a pillar of Abstract Expressionism. The technique of superimposing diluted layers creates subtle nuances between pink, orange and beige. The denser central orange draws the eye and structures the composition. Rothko explores the visual impact of chromatic relationships, seeking to immerse the viewer. #Rothko #ExpressionismAbstract #PaintingAbstract #Art #Colors
In a letter addressed to young people, Matisse insists on the crucial importance of drawing, an act he considers vital. His words sound like a vibrant call, an invitation to explore the world through art. Yet behind this ardent passion lurks a palpable concern: that this creative flame will be snuffed out by the distractions of the modern world. A letter that inspires as much as it alerts, a poignant testimony to an artist's commitment to future generations.#Matisse #Dessin #Art #Créativité #Inspiration
"Rue Gauguet" is one of Nicolas de Staël's largest works, executed on plywood panel (199.4 × 240.3 cm). The painter lived and worked at 7 rue Gauguet, in a modernist-style villa-studio, from January 1947. Here, he painted directly on the floor, abandoning easel painting.#NicolasdeStael #RueGauguet #ArtModerne #Peinture #InspirationArtistique
A vibrant tribute to Nicolas de Staël, a visionary artist who brought together on canvas the memory, the lived moment and the future dream. Each work is a poetic act, an invitation to travel between the emotion felt, the buried past and the infinite possibilities. Nicolas de Staël remains a major inspiration for all those who believe in the timeless power of art, and we thank him for transforming the impossible into a palpable, rich and profoundly human universe. #nicolasdestaël #abstraitart #abstraitartist #CulturePainting
In 1952, Nicolas de Staël painted several canvases depicting bottles, particularly wine bottles, which became famous for their abstract style and color palette. Bottles were a recurring subject in his work, and he often depicted them in still-life scenes or in more abstract compositions.#abstrait #abstraitart #abstraitartiste #nicolasdestaël
Nicolas de Staël, Portrait de Jeannine (1941): immersed in an intense expressive period, where vibrant contrasts between luminous yellows, ochres and deep blues shape a captivating atmosphere. The outstretched hand subtly dialogues with the surrounding forms, recalling the Mannerist elegance of El Greco and the expressive melancholy of Picasso's blue period. A work in which color and form respond to one another to evoke emotion at the very edge of the canvas.#CulturePeinture #ArtExpressif #DialogueDesFormes #Contrastes #PortraitArtistique
Impressionism overturned the rules of painting in the 19th century. Claude Monet, the movement's emblematic figure, did not seek to freeze reality, but to capture the instant, the tremor, the passage.This movement paved the way for modernity in art, by placing personal perception at the heart of the work.#impressionism #claudemonet #histoiredelart #peinturemoderne #artfrançais
"Open a breach and stretch out his arms again" - For Rothko, it's not about painting the abstract or the figurative. It's about breaking the silence. To create a presence that crosses the gaze, touches the invisible, and confronts us with what still pulsates within us.#markrothko #culturepeinture #abstractionspirituelles #artcommeprésence #silencedelepeinture

Serge Poliakoff (1900-1969) developed a unique abstract language, characterized by interlocking forms and striking color harmony. In this blue-toned work, the interplay of rhythmic structures and spatial ambiguity invites the eye to oscillate between surface and depth. A composition that balances tension and fluidity, revealing the full richness of his pictorial approach.Which painting would you like to see analyzed next?

At the end of his life, Georges Braque was asked a simple but essential question: "Any words for young painters? "After a moment's silence, he replied: "Réfléchissez. "One word, one direction, because painting is more than just putting colors on canvas. It's about observing, understanding and feeling. It's about looking for what can't yet be seen.#Painting #Artist #Inspiration #GeorgesBraque #Creation

PART 2: The cypress tree, an essential link between heaven and earth, gives La Nuit étoilée its balance. It shares the structure of the bell tower and guides our gaze through the composition. Van Gogh leaves nothing to chance: he masters his pictorial language, creating fluid, coherent movement. His genius lies in his ability to structure emotion.

For Matisse, color goes far beyond simply reproducing what the eye sees. Driven by the desire to free artistic expression from the constraints of realism, he turned color into a language in its own right, capable of translating the soul and the deepest feelings. Inspired by his own experience and a desire to capture raw emotion, he wanted to offer artists a means of revealing their inner world, transforming every nuance into a veritable emotional vibration.And you, what inspires you in this vision?

Picasso in 1937: a work between tradition and modernity. In La Femme au Béret, he contrasts a classic palette of earthy tones with a freer, more modern palette.

A visit to the Musée de l'Hermitage in Lausanne with some of our students to admire Nicolas De Staël's exhibition: a moment of learning and contemplation in front of his works, in particular his immense painting Les Footballeurs, of incredible intensity and energy. We took full advantage, discussing his technique, his unique palette and his visual impact - there's no substitute for direct experience of the works of the great masters. I encourage all enthusiasts to go and see them in museums, to observe the materials, colors and emotion that no reproduction can fully convey.#NicolasDeStael #Fondation de l'Hermitage #CulturePeinture #ApprendreParLArt

Bonnard and the ambiguity of space - Part 2Look at how Bonnard plays with depth: the yellow of the background seems to want to move forward, creating an unexpected link between the figure and the background.
