Though operating in the same avant-garde circle as Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, and others, Alfred Sisley never achieved their level of fame and financial success during his lifetime. In this episode, we'll explore the life, artistic career, and tragic end of this dedicated painter of subtle French landscapes. We'll trace Sisley's origins, his pivotal role in the Impressionist exhibitions of the 1870s-80s, and his perpetual struggles to sell his naturalistic depictions of the provinces despite support from dealer Paul Durand-Ruel. Personal tragedies like his father's death and cancer diagnosis added to Sisley's melancholy in later years. A detailed 1897 retrospective exhibition failed to gain traction, leaving Sisley deeply disheartened before he died in 1899 at age 59. We'll examine how Sisley's modest, poetic vision and quiet dedication to capturing nature's fleeting beauty ultimately couldn't overcome the public's resistance to Impressionism. As we contrast Sisley's resigned approach with Claude Monet's fierce self-promotion, opportunism, and cultivation of patronage, a stark difference emerges. Sisley's modest, poetic vision and quiet dedication to capturing nature's fleeting beauty couldn't overcome the public's resistance to Impressionism. In contrast, Monet's strategic moves helped establish Impressionism. What lessons can today's artists take from these divergent paths? Join us for an insightful look at this 'forgotten Impressionist' and the qualities that allowed Monet's light to shine brighter. For more, visit www.malcolmdeweyfineart.com

Behind some great men, there is a big brother. Leon Monet, Claude Monet's older brother, is central to a new public art show, or exhibition, in Paris. The exhibition explores the part Leon Monet played in the famous impressionist painter's life and art. Leon was a color chemist who was four years older than Claude. Historians now understand that Leon helped Claude succeed. He helped in the development of the famous color palette that Claude used to create artworks like the “Water Lilies” series.一些伟人的背后，都有一个大哥。克劳德·莫奈 (Claude Monet) 的哥哥莱昂·莫奈 (Leon Monet) 是巴黎一场新的公共艺术展或展览的中心人物。展览探讨了莱昂·莫奈在这位著名印象派画家的生活和艺术中所扮演的角色。莱昂是一位比克劳德大四岁的色彩化学家。历史学家现在明白，里昂帮助克劳德成功了。他帮助开发了克劳德用来创作“睡莲”系列等艺术作品的著名调色板。Geraldine Lefebvre is in charge of the exhibition at the Musee du Luxembourg. “It's never been known before, but without Leon there would not have been a Monet — the artist the world knows today,” Lefebvre said. She explained, “His rich big brother supported him in the first period of his life when he had no money or clients and was starving.” Lefebvre said that the colors Claude was famous for “came from the synthetic textile dye colors Leon created” in the town of Rouen. Rouen was the subject of some of Claude's best-known paintings.Geraldine Lefebvre 负责卢森堡博物馆的展览。 “以前从未为人所知，但如果没有莱昂，就不会有莫奈——当今世界都知道的艺术家，”勒斐伏尔说。她解释说，“他有钱的哥哥在他生命的最初阶段支持他，当时他没有钱，没有客户，还在挨饿。” Lefebvre 说，Claude 著名的颜色“来自 Leon 在鲁昂镇创造的合成纺织染料颜色”。鲁昂是克劳德一些最著名的画作的主题。The exhibition represents years of investigation by Lefebvre. She visited Monet's great-grandchildren, studied family records and brought to light a painting of Leon by Claude. Leon hid the painting in a private collection. The 1874 artwork has never before been seen by the public. It shows Leon with a black suit, serious expression and red face. The exhibit shows that the long-held belief that the Monet brothers did not communicate is incorrect. “Historians always thought the two brothers had nothing to do with each other," she said.该展览代表了 Lefebvre 多年的调查。她拜访了莫奈的曾孙，研究了家庭记录，并发现了克劳德 (Claude) 的一幅莱昂 (Leon) 画作。莱昂将这幅画藏在私人收藏中。这件 1874 年的艺术品以前从未被公众看到过。照片中的莱昂身穿黑色西装，表情严肃，脸色通红。该展览表明，长期以来认为莫奈兄弟没有交流的观点是不正确的。 “历史学家一直认为这两兄弟彼此无关，”她说。“In reality, they were incredibly close throughout their life,” Lefebvre said. The brothers had an argument in the early 1900s and that may explain why no direct signs of the relationship exist. What is now known is that Leon helped his younger brother. He introduced Claude to other artists, gave Claude money, and purchased Claude's art — buying it at high prices to improve the painter's public image. “This exhibit is important as it throws light on Leon Monet, who up until now has been an invisible figure,” said Frances Fowle of the National Galleries of Scotland.“实际上，他们一生都非常亲密，”勒斐伏尔说。兄弟俩在 1900 年代初期发生争执，这或许可以解释为什么没有直接的关系迹象存在。现在知道的是，莱昂帮助了他的弟弟。他把克劳德介绍给其他艺术家，给克劳德钱，买下克劳德的画——高价买下，以提升这位画家的公众形象。苏格兰国家美术馆的弗朗西斯福尔说：“这次展览很重要，因为它揭示了莱昂莫奈，直到现在他一直是一个隐形人物。”Leon's influence went beyond his brother: He financially supported other artists such as Camille Pissarro, Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley.Claude Monet also worked for his older brother as a color assistant. Leon would dissolve carbon to create a chemical called aniline, which created synthetic colors that natural colors could not compete with. One of the earlier examples of Leon's colorful influence on Claude's art is in the exhibition. It is an 1860s picture Monet drew of his future wife Camille. She appears in a dress of a green color that had never been seen before. “The French press coined the term ‘Monet green,'” Lefebvre said, adding that reporters made fun of it at first. “At the time, they said he would make a good dye artist.” However, both Monets had the last laugh.莱昂的影响力超越了他的兄弟：他在经济上支持卡米尔·毕沙罗、奥古斯特·雷诺阿和阿尔弗雷德·西斯莱等其他艺术家。克劳德·莫奈还为他的哥哥担任色彩助理。莱昂会溶解碳来制造一种叫做苯胺的化学物质，这种化学物质可以制造出天然色素无法与之抗衡的合成色素。展览中展示了莱昂对克劳德艺术影响的早期例子之一。这是一张 1860 年代莫奈为他未来的妻子卡米尔画的画。她穿着一件以前从未见过的绿色连衣裙出现。 “法国媒体创造了‘莫奈绿'这个词，”Lefebvre 说，并补充说一开始记者们取笑它。 “当时，他们说他会成为一名优秀的染料艺术家。”然而，两位莫奈都笑到了最后。Claude Monet founded impressionism — a term that comes from his 1872 painting “Impression, Sunrise” — to become one of the most famous painters of the last two hundred years. And by the height of the artistic movement at the end of the 19th century, “80 percent of all impressionists' work” used the synthetic colors borrowed from Leon, Lefebvre says Leon Monet. Brother of the Artist and Collector runs at the Musee du Luxembourg in Paris from March 15 until July 16.克劳德·莫奈 (Claude Monet) 创立了印象派——这个词来自他 1872 年的画作《印象，日出》——成为过去 200 年来最著名的画家之一。列斐伏尔 (Lefebvre) 说，到了 19 世纪末艺术运动的鼎盛时期，“80% 的印象派作品”都使用了从莱昂那里借来的合成色。艺术家和收藏家的兄弟将于 3 月 15 日至 7 月 16 日在巴黎的卢森堡博物馆展出。

 Francis-Marie Martinez de Picabia le 22 janvier 1879 à Paris (2e arrondissement) et mort le 30 novembre 1953 dans la même ville, est un peintre, dessinateur et écrivain français, proche du mouvement dada, puis surréaliste.Francis Picabia est le petit-fils de Juan Martinez Picabia, né à Cuba, puis émigré à New York et Madrid et, côté maternel, d'Alphonse Davanne (1824-1912), chimiste et photographe, et président de la Société française de photographie. Son oncle, Maurice Davanne, est conservateur à la bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève à Paris.Sa mère, Marie Davanne, meurt en 1886. Il fait ses études chez les maristes au collège Stanislas, puis au lycée Monge, à Paris. En 1894, voulant éprouver la vocation tôt manifestée de son fils, « Pancho » Picabia envoie, au Salon des artistes français, la toile de Francis intitulée Vue des Martigues. Le tableau ayant été non seulement accepté, mais primé, Picabia entre, après une scolarité compliquée, à l'École des arts décoratifs l'année suivante, où il sera l'élève de Wallet, Humbert et Cormon; mais il fréquente plus volontiers l'École du Louvre et l'Académie Humbert, où il travaille aux côtés de Georges Braque et de Marie Laurencin. L'année 1897 marque un tournant dans sa carrière : la découverte d'Alfred Sisley lui révèle l'impressionnisme, pour lequel son enthousiasme se renforce avec la rencontre de la famille Pissarro, en 1898. Il commence à exposer régulièrement au Salon des artistes français. C'est pour lui le début d'une période extrêmement féconde, qui durera dix ans ; les centaines de toiles qu'il peint alors, où l'influence impressionniste reste toujours plus ou moins sensible, sont propres à séduire le public : sa première exposition personnelle de 1905, à la galerie Haussmann à Paris, est un triomphe. Les tableaux exposés, étrangers aux nouvelles recherches plastiques, relèvent de l'imitation du « pur luminisme impressionniste »[réf. nécessaire] (Bords du Loing, 1905, Philadelphie, Museum of Art). Cependant, Picabia remet peu à peu en cause les valeurs plastiques qui lui valent son succès grandissant et, en 1908, sa rencontre avec Gabrièle Buffet — qui l'encourage à poursuivre de récentes recherches —, détermine la rupture avec l'impressionnisme comme avec ses marchands, rupture permise aussi par sa fortune personnelle. De 1903 à 1908, influencé par les peintres de Barbizon, il côtoie Alfred Sisley, Camille Pissarro et Marius Borgeaud. Son aquarelle Caoutchouc de 1909 (Musée national d'Art moderne, Paris), qui serait antidatée de 1907 et pourrait représenter des balles de caoutchouc, comme dans La Petite fille au ballon de 1908 de František Kupka, fut considérée plusieurs années plus tard, comme une des œuvres pionnières et fondatrices de l'art abstrait. À sa majorité, il prend possession de l'héritage maternel qui lui assure de confortables revenus. Sa première exposition personnelle (61 tableaux) est organisée en 1905 à Paris à la galerie Haussmann, chez Danthon, la suivante à Berlin à la Kaspar Kunstsalon. Il montrera ensuite ses œuvres à nouveau chez Danthon en 1907, puis à Londres, Munich, Barcelone. De 1905 à 1908, Picabia séjourne deux fois à Martigues et réalise de nombreux paysages de style impressionniste de la ville et de ses canaux. En 1909, il épouse Gabrièle Buffet, peut-être petite-nièce d'Alphonse de Lamartine[réf. nécessaire], petite-fille de l'amiral de Challié et descendante d'un frère de Jussieu, « l'homme qui rapporta le cèdre du Liban dans son chapeau », dixit Picabia[réf. nécessaire]. Une fille, Laure Marie Catalina, naît en 1910 ; un garçon, Pancho Gabriel François, en 1911. Ils auront encore une fille, Gabrielle Cécile, dite « Jeannine », en 1913, et un garçon, Vincente, né en 1919. À cette époque, il peint de manière très colorée à la manière des Fauves et fait ses premières incursions dans le domaine de l'abstraction. En 1911, il rejoint le groupe de Puteaux qui se réunissait dans le studio du peintre Jacques Villon, frère de Marcel Duchamp, qu'il a rencontré en 1910. Il devient aussi orphiste et crée en 1912, à Puteaux, le Salon de la Section d'Or, avant de connaître un premier succès international à l'exposition de l'Armory Show de New York, en 1913. Marqué par la Broyeuse de chocolat et le concept de ready-made de Marcel Duchamp, il confectionne, dès 1913, une série d'œuvres où il reprend l'esthétique du dessin industriel, recopiant ou simplifiant des images qu'il trouvait dans le magazine scientifique La Science et la Vie.

Impressionism may seem like nothing but inoffensive blurry paintings of cute subjects that are perfect to hang over the sofa, but this Modernist art style was full of rebellion and scandal.

„Ich sehe ein Kornfeld – und das war es dann schon…“ Abendblatt-Chefredakteur Lars Haider spielt mit Kunsthallen-Direktor Alexander Klar „Ich sehe was, was du nicht siehst“. Das Prinzip: Die beiden sehen sich in jeder Folge ein Gemälde an und sprechen über Details, Überraschungen und Merkwürdigkeiten. Diesmal geht es um den Impressionisten Alfred Sisley und sein „Kornfeld bei Argenteuil“ (1873), das für Haider eines der „unspektakulärsten Bilder ist, das ich jemals gesehen habe“. Eine Aussage, die Experte Klar nicht schockt, eher im Gegenteil: Sisley sei gerade wegen solcher Gemälde, „aus denen ich Musik höre“, einer seiner Lieblingsmaler

Today we celebrate the impressionist Landscape painter who included kitchen gardens as a subject and the botanist who gave a speech in 1916 about his four rules of home landscaping. We'll learn about the English botanist who saved many varieties of Japanese cherry from extinction and the botanist who braved the destruction of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake to save plant specimens. We'll hear the Poem called "A Song of October" that debuted in 1890. We Grow That Garden Library with THE book on She Sheds. I'll talk about making a simple leaf compost bin, and then we'll wrap things up with a poignant diary entry by the quintessential southern gardener Elizabeth Lawrence.   But first, let's catch up on a few recent events.   Mother Earth News recently shared a post called When Age and Illness Invade the Homestead. The article asks this question: "How do you cope when long-term illness or a  chronic health condition, even just aging, becomes a factor?" Gardeners need to consider: Reassessing and prioritizing their space. Maybe you don’t need such a big garden space at this point in your life. Is it time to consider going small? Adapt and compensate with new ideas like elevated beds.  Take more breaks when you are working. Farm it out - get help, so you don't overdo it.     The Guardian just shared the results of research that shows that a healthy diet means a healthy planet. The research showed that, "fruit, vegetables, beans, and whole grains were best for both avoiding disease and protecting the climate and water resources." Michael Clark at the University of Oxford, who led the study, said: “Choosing better, more sustainable diets is one of the main ways people can improve their health and help protect the environment.” So there you go: growing your own food, gardening, is not only good for you - it's better for the planet.     Finally, Gardenista just shared an excellent article called 10 Perennial Gardens Inspired by Piet Oudolf. Oudolf's signature look includes soft drifts of grasses combined with striking perennials that look good even in winter. Oudolf's goal is getting all of it to work together to create dream landscapes that evoke a natural look. Gardenista did a great job of sharing ten images of different gardens that understand the Oudolf formula, and they created installations inspired by his work. When it comes to picking which perennials to include in the garden, Oudolf sees perennials through a lens that is focused on architectural elements. He's looking at the shape and the lines of the plant - but he's also incorporating the full life cycle of the plant. He wants to incorporate the way perennials look not only in early spring and summer but also in the fall and even in the winter. Seed heads, pods, dried blossoms, and stems; these are all embraced and part of the plan. So don't be too quick to tidy everything up in the garden. Especially when it comes to winter gardens, you've got to leave enough standing so that you have something to look at.     If you'd like to learn more about Oudolf, I shared a great video in the Facebook Group from PBS that was featured in April of this year. The reporter, Jeffrey Brown, met with Oudolf at his home in the Netherlands to discuss his work.        Now, if you'd like to check out these curated articles for yourself, you're in luck - because I share all of it with the Listener Community in the Free Facebook Group - The Daily Gardener Community. So there’s no need to take notes or track down links - just head on over to the group the next time you're on Facebook, just search for:  The Daily Gardener Community and request to join.        Brevities #OTD  Today is the birthday of Alfred Sisley, who was born on this day in 1839. Sisley was an impressionist landscape painter. He painted landscapes almost exclusively, and he especially loved natural, untouched scenes. Gardeners enjoy his paintings called A Garden Path and The Kitchen Garden.     #OTD   Today is the birthday of the botanist George Plummer Burns who was born on this day in 1871. Burns was the chairman of the UVM botany department. He also had served as the superintendent of the park department for Burlington, Vermont. When I was researching Burns, I stumbled on a newspaper clipping from 1916, which shared a speech he gave to the Rutland Woman's Club called  Landscape Gardening for the Home.    He gave four rules for landscaping: "1.Avoid straight lines;  2. Keep open spaces;  3. Plant in mass;  4. Use common sense.   Burns gave this advice about shrubs: Do not use a shrub simply because a man wants to sell it to you.  Do not use a shrub or tree simply because your neighbor has one, and if you do, do not use it in the same way. After the house is built shrubs should be planted around the base to soften the lines. Next, a hedge should be placed around the' lot so that the owner, in looking from his place, can see the skyline and have the immediate surroundings hidden. In that way, a person owns as far as he can see.   And, we get a little glimpse into Burns' personal preferences when he said: Never spoil a lawn by cutting a circular bed and filling it in with cannas. Such art is like putting a da  ub of paint on a beautiful picture. Cannas are all right in their place but not in beds on a lawn. Shrubs should always be planted in mass and never should a single root be set; not one rosebush but 20 should be set out."     #OTD   Today is the birthday of the British botanist Collingwood "Cherry" Ingram, who was born on this day in 1880. Since he was a child, Ingram was obsessed with cherry blossoms. He spent most of his adult life devoted to their cultivation and preservation. In 1926, Ingram traveled to Japan, hoping to find new varieties of cherry trees. Instead, Ingram witnessed a sharp decline in cherry diversity. The usual suspects played a role: loss of habitat and a lack of attention. But there was also a more significant danger posed by a new, pervasive ideology. As it turned out, the Imperial stance had changed, and the emperor wanted his people to grow just one variety of cherry ina symbolic way to unite the nation of Japan. At the time, the preferred cherry blossom was the pink Somei-yoshino. The emperor had outlawed all white-blossomed cherry trees. The new law was especially tragic to Ingram, who was partial to the white-blossomed cherry tree. In response to Japan's declining cherry diversity, Ingram personally cultivated and grew 50 varieties of cherry that were slowly phasing out on the Island of Japan.  Wisely, Ingram brought specimens home with him to the island of England, where Ingram's work with cherries made him a world expert.  Thanks to Ingram's foresight and preservation efforts, he was able to reintroduce the Great White Cherry Tree to Japan.     #OTD Today is the anniversary of the death of the Canadian American self-taught botanist Alice Eastwood who died on this day in 1953.    Eastwood is remembered for saving almost 1500 specimens from a burning building following the San Francisco earthquake in 1906.  Afterward, she wrote about the specimens that didn't make it:   “I do not feel the loss to be mine, but it is a  great loss to the scientific world and an irreparable loss to California. My own destroyed work I do not lament, for it was a joy to me while I did it, and I can still have the same joy in starting it again.”   An account of Eastwood's heroics was recorded by Carola DeRooy, who wrote  :   "On the day of the 1906 earthquake, Alice Eastwood, curator of botany at the California Academy of Sciences, rushed straight into the ruins of downtown San Francisco as a firestorm swept toward her beloved Academy building. Arriving to find the stone steps dangerously crumbled, she and a friend nevertheless climbed the metal spiral staircase to the 6th floor with a single-minded mission: to rescue what she could of the largest botanical collection in the Western United States, her life's work.     Eastwood saved 1,497 plant type specimens from the Academy but lost the remainder of the collections to the all-consuming fire. Just three days later, she joined Geologist GK Gilbert to inspect a fault trace resulting from the earthquake, north of Olema, within what is now the Point Reyes National Seashore." That moment with Gilbert at the fault line was memorialized forever in a captivating photo featuring Alice standing next to the surface ruption of the fault line. Eastwood was 47 years old when the quake hit in 1906.   After the fire, Eastwood set her mind to rebuilding the herbarium, and over the next four decades, she collected 300,000 specimens. She retired as the curator at the age of 90. Eastwood was the protégée of the botanist Kate Brandegee.         Unearthed Words The alder wears its scarlet beads, The clematis its downy seeds, The sumach's deepening ruby gleams, The birch in hues of topaz beams;   In golden bars through leafy doors The sunshine falls on forest floors, While the warm air with balsam breathes A spicy odor from the trees. The softened light, the veiling haze, The calm repose of autumn days, Steal gently o'er the troubled breast, Soothing life's weary cares to rest   ~Phebe A. Holder, "A Song of October," in The Queries Magazine, October 1890     It's time to Grow That Garden Library with today's book recommendation: She Sheds Style by Erika Kotite The subtitle of this book is Make Your Space Your Own, and it came out a year ago on October 2nd.

Leaf mold is an excellent way to improve your soil. It is also an excellent weed suppressant and mulch. To make your bin, simply place four tall garden stakes in the ground and then use netting or burlap to wrap around the outside of the stakes. As you add leaves into the bin, make sure to layer in some moisture by watering the leaves. Watering the leaves helps stimulate decomposition. You can also add some coffee grounds while you're at it - if you feel so inclined. Then, in the spring, you'll have wonderful compost for your garden.      Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart   Bonaro Overstreet once wrote, "Autumn asks that we prepare for the future —that we be wise in the ways of garnering and keeping. But it also asks that we learn to let go—to acknowledge the beauty of sparseness." This little saying had me thinking of the gardener Elizabeth Lawrence. In late October of 1935, Elizabeth was visiting her father in the hospital. She wrote the following poem in her notebook during her visit:     My father lies dying, And all that he has said Begins to sprout, Begins to grow. Is branching overhead.   My father lies dying, And all that he has said Will bud and blossom and bear fruit Long after he is dead.   Samuel Lawrence lived another nine months after Elizabeth wrote these words. He passed away on July 16, 1936.   Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Even though Alfred Sisley was among the founding members of the Impressionist group, his reputation has only recently started to match his achievements. A prolific landscapist, whose technique was developed through his close association with Claude Monet and Frédéric Bazille, Sisley produced a number of still lives that bear the characteristics of his oeuvre. Heron with Spread Wings makes clear these concerns: the effects of light hitting surfaces, the commonplace or the everyday, and the tension between the factual record and subjective experience. Sisley painted this beautiful still lifealongside Bazille during a session that also included fellow Impressionist Auguste Renoir. This context makes clear to us something of the way in which the act of painting was a social activity for the Impressionists, and of the way in which the principles and techniques of the avant-garde group were formulated through these social interactions.

Paul Guigou regularly painted the scenery of Provence in southern France, the region of his birth. This small landscape is typical of his work and captures the crisp light of the region, with its strong jewel-like colours. The painting’s raised point of view gives a sense of the emptiness of Provence. The composition is dominated by the expanse of the land and the sky, while the near perfect reflections on the river as it winds its way under the rustic stone bridge provide another focal point. Guigou came from a wealthy family and developed an early interest in landscape painting. He started his working life as a notary’s clerk but dedicated himself to painting full-time in 1862. In Paris he was friendly with many of the Impressionist group, including Frédéric Bazille, Alfred Sisley and Claude Monet. Even so, Guigou remained true to his own vision and went unnoticed at the Salon until after his death.

Frédéric Bazille was a friend of Alfred Bruyas and became an important early member of the Impressionist movement in Paris, where he was associated with August Renoir, Claude Monet and Alfred Sisley among others. Bazille painted at least three different views of Aigues-Mortes near Montpellier, experimenting with different compositions and formats. While many of his early works have been lost, this rare early landscape is marked by the characteristics of the Provençal landscape tradition, including the work of Paul Guigou. The scene stretches with clarity and precision from a low point of view to great effect, the marshy foreground opening up to the fortified port town. The painting captures the glorious colours typical of the region and evokes the sensation of the different surfaces by various techniques. The painting also makes clear Bazille’s interest in using the effects of light on surfaces as a means of defining mass and form.
