Embrace your inner weirdness. There was no plan for this pastel drawing. I just like using my Holbein colouring pencils and this came out 🙃

🧀 "Souris et fantaisie fromagère" – pastel gras & petits plaisirs coupables 🐭

Original ➡️ https://christellelachambre.com/produit/souris-et-fantaisie-fromagere-pastel-gras/

Et si les rêves d’une petite souris prenaient la forme d’un labyrinthe géométrique… fait de parts de fromage ?

Voici une œuvre tout en contrastes et en malice, où l’univers du pastel gras s’invite au cœur d’une composition contemporaine et surréaliste. Un clin d’œil ludique à notre imaginaire collectif, avec cette petite muse aux yeux tendres qui semble nous inviter à jouer avec elle 🐁

Parce que même dans un monde plein d’angles et de trous de gruyère, il y a toujours une place pour la tendresse 💖

Cette œuvre a une saveur toute particulière…
C’est la toute première que je dévoile réalisée au pastel gras, une création faite il y a quelque temps déjà, et que j’avais gardée bien au chaud jusqu’à aujourd’hui.

Réalisée avec les superbes pastels Sennelier

Peinture abstraite et figurative représentant une petite souris blanche, aux yeux noirs et aux oreilles rosées, nichée au milieu de formes géométriques colorées. Les triangles et polygones aux teintes jaune, bleu, violet et orange rappellent des morceaux de fromage, avec des textures en relief. L’ensemble est structuré par des lignes noires épaisses sur fond sombre, créant un contraste graphique fort et ludique.

Your art history post for today: by Teodor Axentowicz (1859-1938), “Vision - memory,” after 1900, pastel and watercolor on paper, 93x69.7 cm, National Museum, Warsaw (Muzeum Narodowe w Warszawie). #arthistory #pastel #watercolor #watercolour #Art

From the website: “ Teodor Axentowicz was among the first artists to explore the theme of the Hutsul region in his work. The artist created many studies from nature, which for years served as an inexhaustible source of inspiration, primarily for his pastel compositions. One of the themes frequently repeated by the painter was the depiction of an old man or beggar with a young village girl or child. The contrast between ugliness and beauty, old age and youth, served to evoke emotions and compassion in the viewer.”

From the museum: “The old man depicted in the pastel resembles the Ukrainian lyre player whom Axentowicz painted many times. He rests his chin on his clenched fists. The apparition of the young girl next to the old man could be a memory from his youth, a forest nymph, or a character from a Ukrainian folk song, introducing a mood of melancholy.”

By Charles-Antoine Coypel (1694-1752), “Folly Embellishing Old Age with the Adornments of Youth,” pastel on paper mounted on canvas, 81 x 66 cm. (31 7/8 x 26 inches), photo: French & Company, New York. #arthistory #Art #pastel

From French & Company: ‘Curious, highly intelligent and independently wealthy, Coypel was able to follow his interests where they led, and he pursued careers as a playwright and literary theorist as well as a painter, though his plays were criticized and he abandoned writing for the theatre in 1732. Nevertheless, his theatrical experience had a pronounced effect on his painting, in which he made ever greater efforts to capture the wide range of emotions, gestures and expressions typical of the stage. This too opened him to attack – the connoisseur Pierre-Jean Mariette wrote that Coypel “was incapable of introducing either the unaffected or the natural into his art” – but in many ways Coypel’s theatricality developed out of a respect for costume, readable narrative and emphatic gesture which were the staples of academic painting, handed down from Poussin to Le Brun. As his father had advised him, “If erudition is not seasoned with a certain ability to please, then it becomes dreary and dull”.’

From the French & Company website: “ The pastel shows an old lady in an elaborately embroidered pink gown -- which she protects with a powdering mantle -- performing her morning toilette at her make-up table. As she applies beauty patches to her wrinkled face, a pretty, high-spirited attendant places a lace bonnet on her head; both the old woman and the girl – who represents Folly – cast their smiling gaze upon a mischievous, bare-bottomed Cupid who flees the scene, Love’s arrow in hand. Although the old lady’s girlish dress and flirtatious demeanor are absurd – another 18th-century source describes her as “d’un caractère ridicule” -- the picture has an antic jollity and good humor that keeps its satire gentle. Folly Embellishing Old Age with the Adornments of Youth is unabashedly comic, a rarity in high art of any period, though something of a specialty of Charles Coypel, who was one of the most original and versatile French artists of the ancien regime. His pastel is a virtuoso effort that occupies a singular place at the nexus of fine art, theatre, art theory and philosophy in the first half of the 18th century.”
