In the Ward, Toronto, 1917 Artist: Lawren S. Harris (1885-1970) Medium: Oil on wood-pulp board The Thomson Collection at the Art Gallery of Ontario #lawrenharris #theward #1910s #oilpainting #torontoart #art #artist #torontohistory #toronto #canada #jeremyhopkin

Full-view of a painting depicting a street scene with residential buildings.

The foreground shows a light beige/tan-colored street. A low, reddish-pink wooden fence runs horizontally across the mid-ground, in front of the buildings.

Two buildings are the primary focus. The building on the left is a smaller, structure, with a side angled towards the viewer, mostly colored in shades of reddish-orange and muted greens. A muted, greyish-white building occupies the center-right.

The central building, a two-story structure, is a light grayish-white, with visible texture and some patchy areas of a yellowish hue apparent on the walls. Features such as windows and doors are painted with teal green colour on the windows and teal-green doors. The roofs are a dark-grayish slate colour, showing some shading gradients.

On the right side of the central building, a two-story structure, also presented in a similar style to the central one, is partially visible. Its exterior is a mixture of light browns and teal hues. Small, light-teal shutters are visible on the windows.

The sky is a light azure blue with hints of white clouds. There's a suggestion of sunlight on varying parts of the scene, though it isn't harsh, with shading also depicted.

A glimpse of another building is seen on the far left side of the painting.

The overall style of the painting suggests a simplified, almost impressionistic approach to rendering the buildings and the environment, with visible brushstrokes.

The Museum of Costume and Fashion has reopened at the Palazzo Pitti after a four year renovation. It is always a joy to recognise reinvestment in dress and textiles, here a spectacular #1910s Doucet housecoat from their collection @uffizigalleries.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Fresh and sparkly, #1910s chiffon lights up with the help of some beaded decoration as a counterpoint to the green/yellow fabric. Just the ticket for slightly bleary sofa days @uffizigalleries.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

All of the asymmetry that was prevalent in fashion illustration of the early #1910s is realised here in this cobalt blue velvet and gold lace gown. There is a languid air to the structure of fashion during this short period, of details seemingly haphazard @phxart.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Richly and gorgeously purple, an embellished dress that is beginning to show the signs of transition towards the silhouettes of the #1910s. Art nouveau influences appear in the decorative details #palazzopitti #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

There is something about early #1910s silhouettes that I find deeply appealing. It might be the frequent asymmetry or the elongated skirts with the the directoire bustline. Or the sharp detailing perhaps. Whatever it is, I like it a lot. Blue velvet c1913 #thekyotocostumeinstitute #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

“The Sunshade” by William John Leech (Irish) - Oil on canvas / c. 1913 - National Gallery of Ireland (Dublin) #WomenInArt #art #ArtText #artwork #portraitofawoman #oilpainting #WilliamJohnLeech #womensart #NationalGalleryofIreland #IrishArt #IrishArtist #WilliamLeech #umbrella #parasol #style #1910s

“The Sunshade” by Irish artist William John Leech depicts a young pale woman holding a green parasol which filters the sunlight and casts green shadows on the woman’s face, characteristic of Leech’s Post-Impressionist style. The warmth from the light in the picture and the enigmatic expression on the woman’s face make it a much loved painting in the National Gallery of Ireland.

Elizabeth Saurine, the artist’s first wife, modeled for this painting. Sunlight bursts in strongly from the left and highlights the fine bone structure of Elizabeth's face and hands. Leech has painted her in the contemporary clothes of a modern woman. The cadmium yellow of the cardigan, painted in thick impasto to create texture, vibrates against the viridian green of the umbrella, which casts green shadows on her shoulders.

In the background, tall stems of lilies are visible. The setting may be the garden in Concarneau, where Leech painted his well-known picture A Convent Garden, Brittany (c.1913; National Gallery of Ireland).

Born in Dublin in 1881, Leech studied at the Metropolitan School of Art. He also studied at the RHA School and at the Academie Julian in Paris. From 1903 until 1917, Leech lived mainly in Concarneau in Brittany (France), but visited Dublin regularly. He continued to exhibit annually at the RHA, who elected him a full member in 1910. His reputation was gaining similar status in Paris, where he won a bronze medal at the 1914 Salon.

In 1918, Leech served for a time in France, but this experience of World War I left him suffering from depression. He continued painting however, and exhibited throughout the 1920s and 1930s at the RHA, RA and New English Club in London. He also represented Ireland at a number of significant international exhibitions including Venice in 1926 and Brussels in 1930.

Although he received a huge amount of recognition for his art throughout his life, Leech struggled financially, often making his own frames to save money.

Shared recently by #FIDMMuseum this is about how I feel right now. We rarely get much snow in the South West of England but it is icy outside. With my new hip installed I find I am extra cautious which is why I am looking out at it from the comfort of home! #1910s ensemble #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

This is a dress constructed for the shades of autumn in all their various hues. It is an unusual #1910s gown incorporating different lines and trims and fabrics, a dress for someone who knew just what they liked #goldsteinmuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
