A View of Sintra, Portugal
Artist: Cedric Morris (British, 1889-1982)
Date: 1950s
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: Private Collection, UK
Description
Among the numerous places Cedric Morris visited during his extensive travels, Portugal was one of his most frequented.
Morris’ first trip to Portugal, with his partner Arthur Lett-Haines and artist-plantswoman Primrose Harley, was in 1950. He returned many times, often in the company of the plantsman Nigel Scott; these trips were primarily plant-hunting expeditions, with the purpose of finding new species of plants native to the area, to add to their full and varied plant collection back home at Benton End, Hadleigh, Suffolk. Morris had always preferred the countryside, and after the war Morris and Lett-Haines had moved to Benton End from London, which included a large house, studio and garden.

The Blue Lake (Der Blaue See)
Artist: Gabriele Münter (German, 1877–1962)
Date: 1912
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL, United States
Description
Depicting the rolling terrain near Murnau, Der blaue See (The Blue Lake) shows a slightly elevated view onto Lake Staffel, a frequent subject of the artist from the 1910s into the 1950s. Among Münter’s early depictions of this subject, this particular composition features saturated colors and boldly styled contour lines typical of this pivotal moment in Münter’s early development. “After a short period of agony,” she described, “I made a big leap [in Murnau], from copying nature - more or less impressionistically - to feeling its content, to abstracting, to presenting a distillation.”

The Mysterious Boat (1892) by Odilon Redon
The Masked Woman, 1910 Expresionismo, Fovismo
Max Pechstein, llevaba el mundo entero de un anhelo universal; Esperaba encontrar, lejos de todas las limitaciones y de la cultura de la civilización, la vida desenmascarada, con la esperanza siempre de acercarse a la fuente del ser sin dobleces.
En "La Mujer Enmascarada", la figura central se presenta con una máscara que oculta su rostro, potenciando el sentido de misterio y simbolismo que emana de la obra. La mujer, retratada de perfil y luciendo un atuendo que sugiere tanto elegancia como un aire casi tribal, se sitúa en un espacio abstracto, donde las formas y los colores parecen dialogar entre sí.
Pechstein, al igual que otros artistas de su tiempo, buscaba desdibujar las líneas entre el arte y la vida, lo interno y lo externo, lo oculto y lo visible.
