Among the German Expressionists, artists who used strong color and exaggerated form to express emotional content, Franz Marc was especially committed to his empathic interest in the life of animals. "Is there a more mysterious idea," he asked, "than to imagine how nature is reflected in the eyes of animals?" Beginning in 1905, he devoted himself to representing the world with a fresh and purifying vision. Marc painted The Bewitched Mill<\/em> following a sojourn to the Italian town of Merano in the southern Tirol.

An avid angler and sportsman, Homer often depicted fishing and hunting scenes in his artwork. Many of his watercolors that explore these subjects were painted on frequent trips to the Adirondack Mountains. Netting the Fish<\/em> is unusual in its focus on a gentleman sportsman. Young, well groomed, and neatly attired, the fisherman in this watercolor stands in contrast to the rustic guides featured in many of the artist\u2019s other Adirondacks works. Homer\u2019s fluid brushstrokes describe the smooth surface of the water, and his background washes evoke the wooded shoreline seen at a distance. Netting the Fish<\/em> is one of Homer\u2019s few grisaille, or monochrome, watercolors, painted as a study of values in preparation for the etching Fly Fishing, Saranac Lake<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n","short_description":null,"dimensions":"35.3 \u00d7 50.8 cm (13 15\/16 \u00d7 20 in.)","dimensions_detail":[{"depth":null,"width":50,"height":35,"diameter":null,"clarification":null}],"medium_display":"Transparent watercolor, heightened with opaque white watercolor, with rewetting, blotting, and scraping, over graphite, on moderately thick, slightly textured, cream wove paper","inscriptions":"Signed recto, lower right, in pen and brown ink: \"Winslow Homer 1890, Copyright 1889\"","credit_line":"Olivia Shaler Swan Memorial Collection","catalogue_display":null,"publication_history":"Theodore Bolton, \u201cWater Colors by Homer: Critique and Catalogue,\u201d The Fine Arts 18: 5 (April 1932), p. 54, as 'Man Fishing'.\n\nGordon Hendricks, The Life and Work of Winslow Homer (New York, 1979), pp. 200\u201301 and 286, fig. 302.\n\nDavid Tatham, Winslow Homer in the Adirondacks (Syracuse, 1996), pp. 99\u2013100 and 140, fig. 34.","exhibition_history":"Art Institute of Chicago, \"Watercolors lent by Mrs. L.

For 30 years, Marcel Duchamp and Mary Reynolds<\/a> enjoyed a close relationship as artistic collaborators, lovers, and friends. After Reynolds died in 1950, Duchamp planned the relocation of her Paris-based library and bookbindings with her brother Frank B. Hubachek, an Art Institute of Chicago trustee. The two memorialized the gift with great care. Duchamp designed a bookplate (a decorative label designating ownership) featuring an elegant line drawing of Reynolds\u2019s face in profile to label the books that came from her library. Letters between Duchamp and Hubachek held in the museum\u2019s archives reveal a touching level of attention given to every decision. Duchamp even insisted on revising a proof of the bookplate, dissatisfied with the way the engraving distorted the profile of her nose.<\/p>\n

The drawing features Reynolds\u2019s initials MR stylized as a dangling earring and designed by artist Alexander Calder, also a close friend of Reynolds.

Although still-life ensembles were an important element in many of the major paintings of the avant-garde artist \u00c9douard Manet, his most sustained interest in the genre itself was from 1864 to 1865, when Fish<\/em> was painted. Manet\u2019s focus on still lifes coincided with the gradual reacceptance of the genre during the nineteenth century, due in part to the growth of the middle class, whose tastes ran to intimate, moderately priced works. This painting, like many of Manet\u2019s still-life compositions, recalls seventeenth-century Dutch models. The directness of execution, bold brushwork, and immediacy of vision displayed in the canvas, however, suggest why the public found Manet\u2019s work so unorthodox and confrontational. While Fish<\/em> is indeed an image of \u201cdead nature\u201d (nature morte<\/em> is the French term for still life), there is nothing still about the work: the produce seems fresh and the handling of paint vigorous. Further enlivening the composition is the placement of the carp, which offsets the strong diagonal of the other elements. Manet never submitted his still lifes to the official French Salon but rather sold them through the burgeoning network of art galleries in Paris and gave them to friends.<\/p>\n","short_description":"This painting, like many of Manet\u2019s still lifes, recalls 17th-century Dutch models.

In the early 1870s James McNeill Whistler took a radical step toward abstraction with his Nocturnes series.

Large shipping vessels appear as ghostly shapes, reduced to shadowy forms by the deepening twilight, while the only points of brightness come from the subtle reflections of lights and the fragmented orb of the moon.
