Man Ray (American, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 1890–1976 Paris), "Marchesa Luisa Casati," ca. 1922, Gelatin silver print. © Man Ray 2015 Trust / Artists Rights Society (ARS), NY / ADAGP, Paris 2025. #photography #portraiture #portrait #art Man Ray’s portrait of Marchesa Luisa Casati is emblematic of the transitional period between Dada and Surrealism, the experimental mouvement flou-flou (“blurry” or “out of focus”). The effect wasn’t intentional. A short circuit in the studio lights and Casati’s refusal to stay still blurred the image—an accident she adored, insisting it “portrayed her soul.” See this and more in “Man Ray: When Objects Dream,” on view through February 1, tracing his radical innovations across the 1910s and 1920s.

Impression, soleil levant / Impression, Sunrise Claude Monet, 1872 Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris This painting became the source of the movement’s name after Louis Leroy’s 1874 article, “The Exhibition of the Impressionists”, satirically implied that the painting was, at most, a sketch. #claudemonet #cityscape #waterlily #impressionistart #light #arthistory #art copied from this post: instagram[dot]com/p/DR7vDvKEiIu/

Rachel Ruysch (Dutch, 1664–1750), "Still Life of Exotic Flowers on a Marble Ledge" (about 1735), oil on canvas. #painting #stilllife #naturalist #art During her lifetime, Ruysch dominated the floral still-life market with ambitious, unusual, and exquisite arrangements. This late work is her most botanically diverse still life, featuring 36 identifiable plant species sourced from across the globe (most of her contemporaries rarely depicted more than 10!). At first glance, the white and purple devil’s trumpets and pineapple at center shimmer with beauty. But beneath this dazzling display, a quiet unease emerges. A prickly cactus looms in the foreground. Underneath the perfume of the sweet-smelling Oleander lies the foul stench of the carrion flower shown at the lower left. By blurring the boundary between beauty and decay, Ruysch subtly challenged the viewer to reflect on the darker forces of nature. discussion source: instagram[dot]com/p/DPpXjHsiNu1/
