‘Lucie Cousturier (1876 - 1925) in her Garden’
By Maximilien Luce

A note on the back of the picture states that it is a study or ‘première pensée’ for a larger painting. Luce was born in Paris and was a pupil of Paul Signac, one of the leading Neo-Impressionists. He was also greatly influenced by Georges Seurat whose masterpiece Sunday afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (Art Institute, Chicago) was at one time owned by Lucie Cousturier, the subject of Luce’s picture.

'Red Vineyard at Arles' by Vincent van Gogh - 1888

Thought I would be interesting to do a not so regular post on a random painting, or piece of art, related to the subject of .

Van Gogh came about this scene during a stroll in the fields of the plain of Arles in Provence on a day in October, and got mesmerised by the strength of the colours set against vivid Autumn lights after a rainfall.

Everything is in a state of tension and motion: the women weighted down by their heavy garments hunched over the shallow vines, the mule driven chart waiting in the back, the female figure with a large umbrella supervising the proceedings.

A man is walking and watching the harvest from the wet road. Did Vincent Van Gogh casually include him self in to a beautiful moment that he would paint a month later out of memory? I'd like to think so.

Following up my Seurat post, one of my images. I like the way there is a sort of rather background, the shallow depth of field, behind the rather minimal subject in the plane of focus, the leaf and splash-circle. Made with a vintage lens.
