History of Art<p>The Grand Canal, Venice, Looking South toward the Rialto Bridge (1730s) by Canaletto. This painting depicts Venice's business and commercial center. The distant building with an arcade at ground level and many chimneys is the Fondaco dei Tedeschi, which served as the warehouse of German merchants. Just to the right is the foot of the Rialto Bridge, and further to the right is the Palazzo dei Camerlenghi.</p><p><a href="https://stellar-art.pixels.com/featured/the-grand-canal-venice-looking-south-toward-the-rialto-bridge-1730s-canaletto.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">stellar-art.pixels.com/feature</span><span class="invisible">d/the-grand-canal-venice-looking-south-toward-the-rialto-bridge-1730s-canaletto.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ArtHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArtHistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Venice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Venice</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/vintage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vintage</span></a></p>

Lena Trydal«The Tea Party» 2020 ☕️<br>
Oil on canvas, 203 x 246 cm (79,9 x 96,8 in)<br>
<br>
It was painted in 2020, during the last six months of Trumps presidency, and I did not know if he would be re-elected or if it would even be relevant in a year. But 5 years later it’s more relevant then ever. <br>
<br>
In the painting, Trump is the mad hatter from Alice and Wonderland who has invited 3 friends from around the world for some tea and cake, discussing what exactly? Various goods and American mail-in-ballots were spotted.<br>
<br>
The painting is referencing one of my favourite painters of all time, Manet, and his work “Le dejeuner sur l’herbe” (1863).<br>
<br>
It was painted by free hand, without underpainting, sketches, grids or projector, a messy, complicated, uncontrollable yet fun way of painting, that I could never have done today. But I can enjoy looking back at the steps of my painting-journey!<br>
<br>
It was exhibited at <a class="u-url mention" href="https://pixelfed.social/hostutstillingen" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@hostutstillingen</a> 2022 💖<br>

A quote from the artist: "How can I not paint flowers when they are so beautiful? Oh my God, I look around and see a beautiful one, and another is even better, and that one is even more wonderful! And they seem as if bow to me and say: ‘Who will paint us if you leave?' Then I forget everything in the world and paint flowers again. Oh, my dear friends, don’t be angry with me for painting flowers because paintings with flowers are so beautiful!" – Kateryna Bilokur</p>
For Brooklyn-based artist Sung Hwa Kim, traditional Korean "moon jars" act as a starting point for an ongoing series of paintings.

Your art history post for today: by Kateryna Vasylivna Bilokur (1900-1961), Watermelon, Carrots, Flowers, 1951, oil on canvas, The National Museum of Ukrainian Folk Decorative Art, Kyiv, Ukraine. #arthistory #Ukraine #womenartists
From Google Arts & Culture: “Kateryna's life was not as picturesque and far more demanding than the world of her paintings. Her parents didn't support her love for painting and often forbade her to do it. People from her village shared this attitude towards the artist. At that time, the traditional patriarchal view on the role of women still prevailed. So others were wary of Kateryna being interested in painting but not having a husband and a family…
Bilokur primarily painted scenes depicting Ukrainian nature, peasant life, and rituals. She captured the richness of Ukrainian culture and folk traditions.
Kateryna Bilokur is now a representative figure of naïve art in Ukraine, and her creations continue to hold a meaningful place in the country's cultural heritage. Her works are unique, characterized by a distinctive energy and emotional intensity.
Kateryna Bilokur immortalized the charm of rural life on her canvases through naïve artistry. Her intricately detailed and vividly colored works became a testament to her creative spirit and the timeless allure of Ukraine's cultural heritage.” — Based on text by Kateryna Nosko.
