Monet's Waterlilies Wall Calendar 2023 (Art Calendar)

Product Information

This focused display in the Project Space will be the first devoted to The Courtauld’s significant collection of Bell’s work. It will include paintings such as her masterpiece A Conversation, as well as the bold, abstract textile designs she produced for the Omega Workshops, led by influential artist and critic Roger Fry in London, which aimed to abolish the boundaries between the fine and decorative arts and bring the arts into everyday life. The exhibition will highlight one of the most cutting-edge artists working in Britain in the early 20th century. The National Gallery stages a landmark exhibition to mark the centenary of the birth of the great 20th-century artist Lucian Freud (1922–2011.) This first major survey of his paintings for 10 years brings together a large selection of his most important works from across seven decades – spanning early works such as 'Girl with Roses' (British Council Collection) from the 1940s; to 'Reflection with Two Children (Self-Portrait)' (Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid) in the 1960s and right through to his famous late works. It includes more than sixty loans from museums and major private collections around the world including The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate; the British Council Collection; London and the Arts Council Collection, London. Discover Manet & Eva Gonzalès' at the National Gallery is the first UK exhibition devised around the portrait of Eva Gonzalès (1870) by Édouard Manet (1832–1883). The painting, acquired by Hugh Lane, was by the early 20th century considered to be the most famous modern French painting in the UK and Ireland. This is the first in a new series of ‘Discover’ exhibitions to be staged in the National Gallery’s Sunley Room to explore well-known paintings in the collection through a contemporary lens. The Ugly Duchess: Beauty and Satire in the Renaissance' will open in the National Gallery in spring 2023. This exhibition will cast an unexpected light on one of the most famous, but perhaps also most misunderstood, paintings in the Gallery’s Collection, An Old Woman (about 1513) by Quinten Massys (1465/6–1530). At the core of the exhibition will be the exceptional reunion of 'An Old Woman' with her male pendant, 'An Old Man' (about 1513), on rare loan from a private collection in New York. The two works have only been displayed together once in their history, in the 'Renaissance Faces' exhibition held 15 years ago at the National Gallery. Through a small selection of works in a variety of media, the exhibition will examine the ways in which older women were depicted during the Renaissance. 'An Old Woman' is being conserved for the occasion, revealing the full extent of its outstanding execution. After Impressionism: Inventing Modern Art

Made from fibres derived from blue rags, blue paper first appeared in Northern Italy in the 14th century. It became a popular drawing support for artists, and its use spread across Western Europe by the late 16th century; it was widely used in England and France in the 18th century. Blue paper provided a nuanced mid-tone which allowed the creation of strong light and dark contrasts, an effect much sought after by draughtsmen. This spring, a remarkable series of hauntingly beautiful, large-scale drawings by Frank Auerbach (b. 1931), produced in post-war London in the 1950s and 1960s will be presented together for the first time. Auerbach created these portrait heads in charcoal and chalk, spending months reworking them during numerous sessions with his sitters. The drawings will be shown together alongside a selection of closely related paintings he made of the same sitters. Today, these works are considered some of his early masterpieces. In the Drawings Gallery, at the same time, a focused exhibition staged in collaboration with the Henry Moore Foundation will consider Henry Moore’s celebrated Shelter drawings as the point of departure for a new reading of the artist’s fascination with images of the wall, during and immediately after World War II. A display in the Project Space will focus on The Courtauld’s rich collection of work by avant-garde British artist Vanessa Bell, one of the leading artists of the Bloomsbury Group in the early 20 th century.Vanessa Bell (1879 –1961) was one of the leading artists associated with the Bloomsbury Group, the avant-garde group of artists, writers and philosophers who pioneered literary and artistic modernism in Britain at the beginning of the 20th century. Time is a very abstract concept for young children, making it difficult to grasp. Because a linear calendar offers an up-close, sequential view of the year, it establishes a clear framework for when dates and important events are occurring. It gives kids a point of reference. They can clearly see the day’s date, determine which day is yesterday, which day is tomorrow, how many days left until the weekend, how many months until their birthday, etc. How to Set Up a Linear Calendar

Claude Monet (1840-1926) is world renowned as the leading figure of French Impressionism. Less known is the fact that some of Monet’s finest Impressionist paintings were made not in France but in London. They depict extraordinary views of the Thames as it had never been seen before, full of evocative atmosphere, mysterious light, and radiant colour. This exhibition project brought together a team of curators and paper conservators at The Courtauld and the J. Paul Getty Museum to explore the technical aspects and artistic richness of the use of blue paper. This exhibition, which displays around fifty paintings and watercolours from public and private collections, spanning over forty years of the artist’s career presents an opportunity for visitors this side of the Atlantic to discover an artist who, although a household name in America, is not as well known in Europe. There is no painting by Homer in a UK public collection. The exhibition is organised by the National Gallery, London, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

Acclaimed British photographer Roger Mayne (1929 – 2014) celebrated the lives of young people growing-up in his evocative documentary images in the 1950s and early 1960s. Self-taught and widely influential in the acceptance of photography as an art form, he was passionate about photographing human life as he found it – most famously the working-class communities of West London. Capturing children at play and the emerging phenomena of the swaggering teenager, Mayne discovered in the young a defining energy that perfectly embodied both the scars and radicalism of post-war Britain.
