The blood red sunset shining down on the broken beams of this once magnificent ship is now tugged along the River Thames to its final resting place. Interestingly, the great ship is not the central focus point of the painting but is set to the left rising into the sunset majestically. It is the soot covered tug boat which is center stage</p>http://blog.oceansbridge.com/post/17544910593http://blog.oceansbridge.com/post/17544910593Mon, 13 Feb 2012 03:59:19 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzbq6zFwu71r9rv3xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>El Jaleo 1882 by John Singer Sargent</p> <p>The sensual energy of Sargent’s El Jaleo is both primal and contagious in all its glory. This painting shouts out to the viewer, “Party!” We are seeing a dance at the very peak of the song which has reached its zenith in energy. Sargent captures the movement and passion in the woman’s dress which is controlled by her fleeting hand. The woman is stomping her heels to the floor in time with the guitarists. The audience are in rapture and clapping their hands in the background along with the main character who is now in full swing. Her shadow projected on the wall just adds to the larger than life character created here. This painting cuts the scene well, screaming with positive figurative energy and movement. In my opinion this is one of Sargent’s finest pieces and he painted some fine ones!</p>http://blog.oceansbridge.com/post/17544869513http://blog.oceansbridge.com/post/17544869513Mon, 13 Feb 2012 03:56:59 -0500<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz0lkttKqS1r9rv3xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Fantastic use of colors!<br/><br/>Market Scene by Jean Pierre</p>http://blog.oceansbridge.com/post/17489386101http://blog.oceansbridge.com/post/17489386101Sun, 12 Feb 2012 10:30:06 -0500art historyartcolorful painting<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyz59i29nX1r9rv3xo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Cubism at its best.  Love the use of blue in this piece.</p> <p>Landscape with Houses in Ceret 1913 by Juan Gris</p>http://blog.oceansbridge.com/post/17427329751http://blog.oceansbridge.com/post/17427329751Sat, 11 Feb 2012 10:30:05 -0500Cubismjuan gris<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyz54wqgn31r9rv3xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Another great Seurat painting.  Great pointillism painting.</p> <p>The Eiffel Tower 1889 by Georges Seurat</p>http://blog.oceansbridge.com/post/17373216478http://blog.oceansbridge.com/post/17373216478Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:30:05 -0500Pointillismgeorge seuratxsDear Dan, That is remarkable!
