INTERIOR PORTRAITS (at home)

Above: Ethel Sands (1873-1962), "The Chintz Couch", 1910-11, Tate Collection. I'd never heard of Ethel Sands till I came across this painting. I was really taken with it... the way the light shimmers and the texture of the wall is so compelling.

Above: Ethel Sands "The Dressing Room". Sands is clearly influenced by Vuillard.

Above: Edouard Vuillard (1868-1940), Interior, 1902. What I love about this painting are the thick white lines of paint on the floor and French doors.

Above: Edouard Vuillard "Woman Before a Window". You see the same thick white stripes of paint here, and the stripes also repeated in the awning, on the sofa back, wall covering, and chair seats.

Above: Walter Gay (1856-1937) "The Library, Bréau". One of the reasons I like this is the way the room is suffused with sunlight.

Above: Raoul Dufy

Above and Below (detail): Dawn Clements "Mrs. Jessica Drummond's", 2010. This was drawn from scenes in the film "My Reputation, 1946", and was included in the Whitney Museum 's 2010 Biennial.

Above: Dawn Clements "Susan Rethorst's" 2011 Sumi ink on paper

Above: Richard Walker "Curtain I" 2011. Walker's oil on panel paintings show rooms in a grand manor house, "The Haining", in southern Scotland which offer's artists' residencies. He painted from life rooms that were cluttered with stored furniture and memorabilia, using projections on the walls that create a mysterious sense of space. Roberta Smith describes the work beautifully in her NY Times review. You can see the whole show here.
