Nature literally has the power to heal. By slowing sown and letting yourself notice the smell, sound , and feel of nature, you become present, aware and often experience less stress. You become unbusy... - György Németh Szigeti, NegyArt Facebook

John William Waterhouse – Boreas

John William Waterhouse (English, 1849-1917) – Boreas, 1903 (Oil on canvas) – – Boreas is the name given by Ovidius to the cold northern wind. He can be seen in this painting only by the trees and clothes bending by his force. The woman that he is trying to catch is the Athenian princess, Oreithyia, who first declined his courtship, but cannot resist his brute power. She became later the goddess of mountain winds. This painting is even more powerful than the earlier “Windflowers” due to the use of cold colours and the protective position of the arms of the woman. – NégyArt (Szingy Books)

Medianegy Quotes

We were the people who were not in the papers. We lived in the blank white spaces at the edges of print. It gave us more freedom. We lived in the gaps between the stories. - Margaret Atwood (Medianegy), Varga Zak Zsolt Twitter @VargaZs62824794

Eran Bugge and Michael Trusnovec in Esplanade

Eran Bugge and Michael Trusnovec in Esplanade, Paul Taylor’s American Modern Dance, March 2017. - For all Esplanade’s wit and charm, it is suffused with yearning.  The second movement is an elegiac lament and the fourth aches with tenderness, opening with two couples, each woman cradled in the arms of their partner.  Even in the brisk movements, dancers lightly touch one another, as if to say “play with me, please.”  Desire borders on devotion for both sexes: a man supine on the ground, props a woman up on his stomach, and promenades her like a music box ballerina. - NégyArt (Szingy Books) 

Ambrose McEvoy Painting – Szingy Gallery

Ambrose McEvoy (English, 1877-1927) - Mrs Claude Johnson c.1926 (Oil paint on canvas. Tate) -  - Mrs Johnson is depicted in a winter coat and a blue broad-brimmed hat, seated in an interior in front of a large, bright window. The sitter’s clothes and the pink blossom on the trees outside indicate that it is spring. McEvoy divided the canvas vertically into uneven thirds using the length of the window frames. This makes the painting appear narrower and encourages the viewer to focus on the sitter’s face in the centre of the canvas. McEvoy meticulously built up layers of coloured glazes with broad brushstrokes on a neutral, cream-coloured ground or primer. Although warmer hues dominate this composition, the slight cracking of the paint on the surface of Mrs Johnson’s coat reveals colder blue tones underneath. - NégyArt (Szingy Books) 

Constance Devernay and Andrew Peasgood

Constance Devernay and Andrew Peasgood in Kenneth MacMillan’s The Fairy’s Kiss, Scottish Ballet, October 2017. - MacMillan’s emotionally charged pas de deux is never far away. It might be a fanciful story, but these are real characters on stage and they touch us. The first night cast, of Constance Devernay as the Fairy, Andrew Peasgood as the Young Man and Bethany Kingsley-Garner as the Fiancée, were particularly impressive dramatically and gave a lucid account of often difficult movement. - NégyArt (Szingy Books)

Portrait of Lady Lavery as Kathleen Ni Houlihan

John Lavery (Irish, 1856-1941) - Portrait of Lady Lavery as Kathleen Ni Houlihan, 1927 (Oil on canvas. On loan from the Central Bank of Ireland. National Gallery of Ireland) - - In 1927, Lavery agreed to assist the Currency Commission in the design of the first Free State banknotes. Reworking a portrait of his wife Hazel of 1909, he cast her as Kathleen ni Houlihan, the mythical heroine of W.B. Yeats’s play of 1902, and placed her against a view of the lakes of Killarney. The artist later quoted W.T. Cosgrave, President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free State, as saying of the banknotes: ‘Every Irishman, not to mention the foreigner who visits Ireland, will carry one next to his heart.’ - NégyArt (Szingy Books)

John William Waterhouse - Windflowers

John William Waterhouse (English, 1849-1917) - Windflowers (Windswept), 1903 (Oil on canvas) - - A carefully-crafted full-length portrait of a woman in long, loose dress, the subject is seen struggling with the wind which flusters her hair and clothing, whilst she clings onto her recently collected flowers. For several years the artist had been interested in depicting nature within his work and also the impact of wind across the scene. Windflowers was first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1903. - NégyArt (Szingy Books) 

Nude Model in the Studio

Laura Knight (English, 1877-1972) – Nude Model in the Studio, c.1913 (Watercolour with gouache and pencil) – In 1913, Knight painted the revolutionary painting, Self Portrait with Nude. This subversive self-portrait was the first instance in the history of art of a painting depicting a female artist engaging in the practice of life drawing. This historically significant painting challenged the widespread barring of female students from life drawing classes. By creating works such as this, Knight was actively opening up a vital dialogue and encouraging a reassessment of the position of women within the art world. This drawing depicts a naked model casually tidying the studio – which may relate to Self Portrait with a Nude. – NégyArt (Szingy Books) 

Eleanor (1901)

Frank Weston Benson (American, 1862-1951) – Eleanor, 1901 (Oil on canvas. Rhode Island School of Design Museum) – – A sparkling icon of wholesome American girlhood, Frank Weston Benson’s Eleanor depicts the painter’s daughter in a summer dress while she shields her eyes from the summer sun.on the porch of their summer home. Benson won national acclaim for his sunny scenes of healthy children enjoying an outdoor country life… - Szingy Books (NégyArt) 

Eleanor (1907)

Frank Weston Benson (American, 1862-1951) – Eleanor, 1907 (Oil on canvas. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston) - - Eleanor depicts the painter’s daughter on the porch of their summer home at North Haven, Maine. Benson esteemed his academic training and never dissolved his figures into light to the degree that French artists favored. He used a small brush to define Eleanor’s features, painting her realistically with an authentic sense of weight and volume. But Benson gave himself much more freedom in other parts of the composition: the shimmering sea and leaves seem to vibrate with intensity, Eleanor’s pink dress is loosely painted with broad strokes, and the details of her hat are abbreviated. The whole effect is vital and effervescent, much like an ideal summer day. - Szingy Gallery (NégyArt) - https://www.facebook.com/george.nemeth.blog/

Portrait of Elizabeth Sherman Cameron

Anders Zorn (Swedish, 1860-1920) - Portrait of Elizabeth Sherman Cameron, 1900 (Oil on canvas) - - Elizabeth Sherman Cameron was dangerously fascinating, and all who laid eyes on her were captivated. She arrived in Washington D. C. January 1878 for the social season to become acquainted with her fiancé, the lanky, dour millionaire from Pennsylvania, Senator James Donald Cameron. This loveless match to a widower 25 years her senior had been arranged in agreement with her father (an impecunious district court judge) by two Sherman uncles, John, Secretary of the Treasury under President Hayes, and General William Tecumseh of Civil War fame. It was done with the apparent acquiescence of their niece, who had decided to marry, if not for love, then for money. (NegyArt Gallery) - szingy 

Sokkal bölcsebben

„Isten nem az ember szemével néz, hanem sokkal élesebb, messzebb látó szemmel; nem úgy ítél, mint az emberek, hanem sokkal-sokkal bölcsebben.” - Charlotte Bronte: Jane Eyre (NegyArt Gallery)
