蓝色的鸢尾花，小精灵的花园-古斯塔夫·凯勒博特
-For famed 法国艺术家 Impressionist painter Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1893), his garden was no mere hobby, but a laboratory, a painting studio, and a work of art in its own right. His fascination with horticulture drove him to cultivate flowers, build greenhouses and even install automatic sprinklers. Featuring cool blue violet irises and a stem of a foxglove flower set against a green patterned background, this tantalizing peek into the artist’s garden is both a celebration of his passion and an avant-garde statement.
Famed for his unique use of perspective, Caillebotte uses various brushstrokes and patterns—thickly worked impasto for the irises, short dashes for the foxgloves, and long smooth sweeps for greenery—to push the flowers forward, giving the viewer the sense they are kneeling in his garden. His work is a vital piece in the story of Impressionism, as his use of close cropping and patterned backgrounds provides the basis for abstraction at the hands of Matisse and others. Had Caillebotte lived another forty years, we can only imagine what might have been.
