Flowers in her Hair

Flowers were and continue to be a natural and beautiful style choice for women's hair.

The Regency era was a time of intense focus on the heads of women and girls. Hats and bonnets in many styles, headbands or "bandeaux", elaborate hairstyles, and flowers, of course! Flowers alone or as decorative elements to hats and bonnets, as well as various combinations of flowers, headbands, and hair jewelry.

Jacek Malczewski (1854 – 1929) was a Polish Modernist and Symbolist painter.

Malczewski grew up in an impoverished noble family and was initially tutored by his parents. 

At the age of 13 he was sent to an uncle's estate. In 1871 he moved to Kraków, where he attended grammar school and was a guest student at the School of Fine Arts, later known as the Kraków Art Academy. Its first director, the famous history painter Jan Matejko, recognized Malczewski's talent and persuaded him to start studying art right away, which he then continued at the École national supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris and with Henri Lehmann. 

In 1896 he returned to the Kraków Academy as a professor (until 1900 and again from 1912 to 1921). From 1912 to 1914 he was rector of the university. In 1897 he was one of the founders of the Kraków artists' association Sztuka

Albert Lynch (Gleisweiler, 26 September 18/60 - Principality of Monaco, 25 March 19/50) was a Peruvian painter, born in Germany but always lived in France.

He is therefore considered a French painter.

In fact, Lynch always spent his life in Paris, initially studying at the "School of Fine Arts" under the guidance of William Bouguereau, then in the ateliers of Jules Noël, Gabriel Ferrer and Henri Lehmann.

He then took French citizenship and, in October 18/96, married Maria Anna Victoria Bacouel.

He had numerous participations in the Salon of French artists, where he received awards in 18/90 and 18/92.

Finally, at the Expo of 19/00 he was awarded the gold medal.

Lynch painted mostly female portraits and genre scenes of French life, but the protagonists of his paintings are always female.

He made little use of oil paint on canvas, preferring instead tempera, pastel and watercolor.

His pictorial nourishment was the spirit of the Belle Époque that often transpires from his works, but the subtle vein of melancholy romanticism that emerges in many portraits of him should not be forgotten.

He also illustrated several books of great fame and success, such as "The Lady of the Camellias" by Alexandre Dumas fils, "Le père Goriot" by Honoré de Balzac, "La Parisienne" by Henry Becque.

From 19/30 he moved to the Principality of Monaco, where he lived until his death in Avenue de la Gare (now Avenue Prince Pierre).

He died in 19/50, at the age of ninety.

Albert Lynch (Gleisweiler, 26 settembre 18/60 – Principato di Monaco, 25 marzo 19/50) è stato un pittore peruviano, nato in Germania ma sempre vissuto in Francia. È considerato, pertanto, un pittore francese.

Lynch, infatti, trascorse la sua vita sempre a Parigi, studiando, all'inizio, presso la "Scuola di belle arti", sotto la guida di William Bouguereau, poi negli atelier di Jules Noël, Gabriel Ferrer e Henri Lehmann.

Prese quindi la cittadinanza francese e, nell'ottobre del 18/96, sposò Maria Anna Victoria Bacouel.

Numerose furono le sue partecipazioni al Salon degli artisti francesi, dove ricevette dei riconoscimenti nel 18/90 e nel 18/92.

Infine, all'Expo del 19/00 gli fu assegnata la medaglia d'oro.

Lynch dipinse in massima parte ritratti femminili e scene di genere della vita francese, ma i protagonisti delle sue pitture sono sempre femminili. Impiegò poco la pittura ad olio su tela, preferendo invece la tempera, il pastello e l'acquarello.

Il suo alimento pittorico fu lo spirito della Belle Époque che traspare spesso dalle sue opere, ma non va dimenticata la sottile vena di malinconico romanticismo che affiora in molti suoi ritratti.

Illustrò anche diversi libri di grande notorietà e successo, come "La signora delle camelie" di Alexandre Dumas figlio, "Le père Goriot " di Honoré de Balzac, "La Parisienne" di Henry Becque.

Dal 19/30 si trasferì nel Principato di Monaco, dove abitò sino alla morte in Avenue de la Gare (oggi Avenue Prince Pierre). Morì nel 19/50, a novant'anni.

Bénédicte transforms traditional portraits into tattooed icons, an intriguing juxtaposition of past and present. The artist shares a letter to the character 'Clémentine' in the caption: "You've been around me for a while, and last night we finally met  I don't know much about you, but I'll try to find a bit of your story because you remain very mysterious…." We are excited to follow Bénédicte on her exploration!

Waves by Florian Roithmayr

Elasticity, Fracture & Flow by Rowena Hughes

click here to purchase either book

• ~ ~ ~ •

Each artist takes a different approach to using existing printed matter to create new books. Florian Roithmayr’s Waves is a complex collage of segments compiled to reveal connections between disparate source materials. The structure of the book embodies the nature of waves themselves, repetitively dazzling and disorientating the reader. Whereas Rowena Hughes’s Elasticity, Fracture & Flow is a form of palimpsest, superimposing extracts from a scientific text to write a form of concrete poetry. Each phrase is extracted from the text on the page directly beneath, attempting to unearth the affective or aesthetic content from a supposedly objective scientific text — within even the driest most technical texts there are phrases that evoke visual, emotional or sensual experiences.

Florian Roithmayr’s book Waves is the first of a series of books tracing natural phenomena. It is a compendium bringing together texts from over two hundred writers. As in comparative literature, different voices and descriptions accumulate to form their own new narrative across science writing and literature, telling the story of how waves are imagined across different contexts and how they resonate as energy, metaphor, image or feeling.

Rowena Hughes's book was chosen for its title – Elasticity, Fracture & Flow – referring to properties of matter, qualities of language as well as states of mind. It has a motif of a twisted loop recurring in many permutations and layered with elements of drawing, a process moving backwards and forwards between the digital and analogue using an interplay of intention and chance, a creative freedom within constraints.

She has been making artist’s books for a number of years, finding old physics textbooks, removing each page and then printing or drawing on to each page before rebinding them in the original cover. This is the first time she has reproduced one of these unique books as a small edition.

Exhibitions of his work include solo presentations at Camden Arts Centre, Bloomberg space and Kettle’s Yard. His book, Aftercast, was published by Tenderbooks, London (2018), designed by Sara De Bondt Studios.

Rowena Hughes’s book works have been exhibited at Belmacz, the ICA, IMT, BreeseLittle galleries in London, Gebruder Lehmann Berlin, Arch Athens and Fotogalerie Vienna amongst others. Her sculptural work is currently on view as part of inaspettatamente (Unexpectedly) at Cloud Seven in Brussels, works from the Frédéric de Goldschmidt’s collection curated by the ghost of Alighiero Boetti.

A joint book launch and reading by Florian Roithmayr and Sophy Downes was hosted by Radio Athènes on Friday 17th December 2021

Sophy Downes is a classical archaeologist, who specialises in Achaemenid Persia. She grew up in Cambridge and now lives in Rome, where she teaches archaeology by day, writes by night, and stalks the Romantic poets whenever possible. She studied at the University of Esfahan and held a fellowship at the British Institute of Persian Studies in Tehran. Her writing has appeared in The Ekphrastic Review, Timeless Travels and Broken Sleep Books.

Sisters by Sir John Everett Millais, 1868

John Everett Millais's portrait of Lady Campbell (1861-1933) was one of three pictures Millais exhibited in 1884 at the Grosvenor Gallery, along with his portrait of the Marquess of Lorne, Queen Victoria's son-in-law (National Gallery, Ottawa), and Millais's image of Lady Campbell when she was a child, from fifteen years earlier (1868-9, fig. 1). It was characteristic of Millais to exhibit society portraits or images of politicians at the Grosvenor, where many of his patrons were frequent visitors. By contrast, in the same year he showed three portraits and an historical picture, An Idyll, 1745 (Lady Lever Art Gallery, Port Sunlight) at the Royal Academy of Arts, and three fancy pictures, Little Miss Muffet (private collection), A Message from the Sea (private collection), and The Mistletoe-Gatherer (private collection, on loan to the National Gallery of South Africa, Capetown) at Thomas McLean's more populist gallery on the Haymarket. Of these nine new pictures, Lady Campbell was the most impressive offering of the year. Millais posed her in a fashionable cap-sleeved white evening dress, with its narrow shoulders and wide bust and a small bouquet of forget-me-nots fastened in front, and a triple-strand pearl necklace, and seated on an oak chest alongside her gloves and a blue Nankin vase filled with tulips. She holds a fan, and looks off to her right. Behind her is a loosely painted yellow floriated tapestry. Nina Lehmann's father commissioned this portrait, as he had the one of her as a child, and in some ways they complement each other. The red camellia held in the lap has been changed to a lady's fan, and the overlarge earthenware pot that the young Nina sits upon, with its drips of glazing along the bottom, has been replaced by a more elegant, refined, and smaller in scale to the sitter, Chinese Porcelain vessel. The work was painted in the month leading up to Nina Lehmann's marriage, to Guy Theophilus Campbell, 3rd Bt, of Thames Ditton, born in 1854 and who served in the Afghan War of 1878-80. They married on 30 April 1884, just before the Grosvenor opened in the first week of May, and less than two years after he had succeeded as Baronet. They would have four boys and two girls. He died 12 September 1931, and she in 1933. Millais's painting of Nina when she was a young girl (fig. 1) was titled Nina, daughter of Frederick Lehman, Esq., and he exhibited it at the Royal Academy in 1869. In that earlier picture, he employed a predominantly white tone and relaxed atmosphere as pursued in many of his images of young girls-such as Spring (1856-9, Lady Lever Art Gallery, Port Sunlight) and Sisters (1868, lot 8). The picture was calculated to appeal to clients with evolved tastes. The sitter's father, Frederick Lehmann (1826-91) was a businessman, violinist, and musical aficionado whose wife, born Jane Gibson Chambers but known as Nina (b. 1830), was a pianist. She was the daughter of the publisher Robert Chambers, founder of the Edinburgh Journal. Lehmann made his fortune dealing arms in the American Civil War. One of his brothers was Henri Lehmann (1814-82), a pupil of J.A.D. Ingres, and the other was Millais's friend, Rudolf Lehmann (1819-1905), also a painter, who lived at Worth Villas, Campden Hill, and who married Jane Chambers's sister Amelia. The Lehmanns were close to Millais's friends such as the novelist Wilkie Collins, musicians including the violinist Joseph Joachim, the conductor and pianist Charles Hall, and other members of English musical society. The Lehmanns held frequent musical evenings for London's artistic society in their house at 15, Berkeley Square. In addition, Lehmann's sister Eliza, married Ernst Benzon, and the Benzons would also become patrons of Millais. It was through society connections that Millais gained the first commission to paint Lehmann's daughter, and then to paint her again to celebrate her marriage. Millais was working on the portrait in early April, when he wrote to his daughter Mary, 'I have finished my pictures for the RA and they have been sent away this morning so I feel a load taken off my back. Your Uncle William was here yesterday and showed the public my works. I believe some hundreds came, but I went out to avoid the Crowd. I have one day's holiday tomorrow and then I have Nina Lehmann sitting to me, as her Father is very anxious for her portrait to go to the Grosvenor gallery. All the pictures are very much liked and I shall set about doing the other Commissions from Mr. Wertheimer'. (John Everett Millais to Mary Millais, at 31, Devonshire Terrace, W.impole Street, from Palace Gate, dated 7 April 1884, Pierpont Morgan Library, Millais Papers MA.1485). The opulence of this portrait, and the interest in fashion and elegant environs was a later and more modern manifestation of the Georgian revival that Millais had spearheaded in the 1860s with portraits such as Sisters (1868, lot 8). Here, Millais worked in a mode that reflected concerns in contemporary continental art, where artists like Pierre Auguste-Renoir collaborated with sitters such as Madame Georges Charpentier, posed in 1878 with her two children in her apartment and surrounded by a litany of forms associated with the pan-European Aesthetic Movement. Such paintings represented cultivated tastes in clothing and accoutrements (often Asian in style), and also bore elegant and evocative brushwork free from the detailed description of Millais's earlier Pre-Raphaelite style. As Claude Phillips wrote in The Academy of the Grosvenor Gallery display of 1884, 'It was a somewhat bold venture on the part of Mr. Millais to have placed in juxtaposition his superb and well-remembered portrait of 'Miss Nina Lehmann' (57), painted in 1869, and his new portrait of the same lady - now Lady Campbell - (62). The former is one of his most complete and admirable works, and is one to which Englishmen are glad to point as an example of perfect technique from the hand of one of their painters. The new portrait, though in it the master-hand is still visible, and there is much to admire - especially the elegant pose and treatment of the head - does not support comparison with the earlier one either as regards the painting of the flesh, the complete and harmonious rendering of the surroundings, or general charm and accomplishment'.

Yet in the same year the critic Henry Blackburn called Millais 'the greatest living portrait-painter,' and Phillips's opinion resonated more in the 1880s, when Millais's more finished child images, whether portraits or fancy pictures, were routinely and favourably compared to the Georgian era works of Sir Joshua Reynolds and Thomas Gainsborough, than today. Now, it is Millais's more freely painted and suggestive portraits of women such as Hearts are Trumps (1872, Tate), Louise Jopling (1879, National Portrait Gallery), and Kate Perugini (1880, private collection) that seem his most advanced works, and reveal him to be one of the finest portraitists of the period, and the painter who laid the groundwork for John Singer Sargent and Giovanni Boldini and the next generation of European portraitists.

01 Painting, Streets of Paris, Norbert Goeneutte's At the theatre, with footnotes, Part #82

Norbert Goeneutte (23 July 1854, Paris - 9 October 1894, Auvers-sur-Oise) was a French painter, engraver and illustrator; notably for the novel La Terre by Émile Zola. He entered the École des Beaux-arts and began studies with Isidore Pils and Henri Lehmann.

He frequented the Père Lathuille, a famous cabaret, where he met Manet and was introduced to the artistic circle at the Café de la Nouvelle Athènes. He soon began exhibiting at the Salon but, despite his friendship with many notable Impressionists, never participated in one of their group exhibitions. In 1879, he married Eva Gonzalès, one of Manet's models…
