Museum Masterpieces [Part.2]
Gyula Benczúr (Hungarian painter, 1844-1920) | Narcissus, 1881 | Hungarian National Gallery
Gyula Benczúr, a contemporary of Mihály Munkácsyand Pál Szinyei Merse, was a consistently outstanding exponent of academicism from his time at the Academy in Munich, and later a much feted artist in Budapest.
He was accomplished in every aspect of painting that could be learned from studying the works of his Renaissance and Baroque forebears.
These skills, encompassing composition and the precise, sensual depiction of details, are demonstrated in his Narcissus of 1881.
Surprisingly, however, Benczúr’s treatment of this Ovidian theme deviates from the traditional iconography.

Vincent Van Gogh | Drawings for study
Perhaps the most prolific post-impressionist painter of all time, Vincent Van Gogh gave us his mind, his heart, his soul, and, most notably, his ear. His works are probably better known generally than those of any other painter in history.
Born in 1853, Van Gogh was the son of a Dutch Protestant minister.
Early in his life, he possessed a moody temperament that would later haunt him in his efforts to become a successful artist.
His brief and turbulent life is thought to epitomize the mad genius legend.

Stuart Davis | Modern painter
Edward Stuart Davis (1892-1964) was an early American modernist painter.
He was well known for his jazz-influenced, proto-pop art paintings of the 1940s and 1950s, bold, brash, and colorful, as well as his Ashcan School pictures in the early years of the 20th century.
With the belief that his work could influence the sociopolitical environment of America, Davis' political message was apparent in all of his pieces from the most abstract to the clearest.
