Stedelijk Museum Highlights
Odalisque
Henri Matisse often portrayed female figures in his paintings, the favorite being the Odalisque. She is usually half-dressed in North African attire and is standing or reclining (as in this painting), amidst draped fabrics and decorative textiles.
Circular Forme: Sun and the Moon
This abstract painting is a drastic shift from the muted compositions created by Robert Delaunay’s Cubist contemporaries in the sense that the vivid colors and contrasting shapes perfectly capture the warmth of the sun and the chill of the night.
Composition III: With Red, Yellow, and Blue
In this painting, Piet Mondrian created a sense of harmony and equilibrium through straight lines and primary colors like red, yellow, blue, black, and grey. It represents the Stijl Movement that aimed to bring in the sense of balance following the Great War.
Bellevue II
Based on a newspaper photo, Andy Warhol painted a body of a person, who died by suicide, lying on the pavement surrounded by police officers and hospital staff. It has been printed onto the canvas 14 times in grids.
La Montaigne Sainte-Victoire
Paul Cezanne was heavily inspired by the Sainte-Victoire mountains and often used them to depict the value and harmony of nature. This painting depicts an underlying structure of the landscape, without any clear lines or progression of light and dark.
La Berceuse
La Berceuse is one of the five versions of Van Gogh’s portraits of Augustine Roulin, his friend’s wife. She appears to be holding a rope in her hand, which seems to be attached to an invisible cradle.
The Violoniste
Marc Chagall painted a large figure of the fiddler with one foot on the roof of a building and the other on a hilltop flattening out the picture plane. It was completed just after Chagall shifted to Paris from St. Petersburg.
Paysage de Bougival
This painting depicts a landscape found in the Seine Valley near Paris. It was quite popular among artists including Maurice de Vlaminck, who cycled to the area quite often to paint in the open air.
Woman Seated with Fish-Shaped Hat
Picasso created this Surrealism-style portrait in 1942 during the Second World War. The painting depicts a seated woman posing with a fish-shaped hat with her face appearing both frontally and in profile.
