Could somebody else have written “ a mon ami Bertaux”? The authors of the Gauguin Catalogue Raisonne (the scholarly assessment of the artist’s complete works) saw no reason to doubt the attribution, but we wondered if they were unduly swayed by the inscription to Bertaux, who was known to be a friend of the artist during these years. Moreover, the flowers are incoherent, which is uncharacteristic of the artist. At that scale, Gauguin or his contemporaries would more likely have concentrated on a few details than broadly sketched the whole composition. I agreed that the picture was especially freely painted for just 5 x 7 inches. Paul Gauguin (probably), Flowers and Books, 1882.
He noted the low prices for some Degas pastels at the Ann and Gordon Getty sale at Christie’s, and a surprisingly high price for a Gauguin still life, Flowers and Books (1882), that sold for more than $1.6 million, three times the pre-sale estimate. As we talked, we scanned online auction catalogues, stopping from time to time to focus on unusual results.
He also assisted me on a Gauguin exhibition I curated in Rome in 2007. Charlie curated (with two others) the great Gauguin retrospective at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1987, and the biggest ever Monet show at the same museum in 1994. The evening I arrived, we sipped cocktails in his modest apartment on the Upper West Side and talked about connoisseurship, especially in the field we know best – Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art. It’s a side of the art world many scholars scoff at but few resist – the money is too good. These days, he makes his living by his keen eyes, advising wealthy collectors on acquisitions, and matching galleries and auction houses with clients. Now in his late 70s and retired from the museum game, he’s a gentler man than the one I first met in 1986, but still funny and independent of thought. While there, I stayed with my old friend, Charlie Stuckey, controversialist, and former curator extraordinaire at the Art Institute of Chicago, National Gallery, and Kimbell Art Museum. I travelled to New York last week, like I do every Fall, to see the latest exhibitions. (Right) Artist unknown or Paul Gauguin, Head with Horns, c.

My students didn't even realize they were learning - they were just having too much fun! 😜 So if you're looking for some fresh literacy center ideas for the month of May, try incorporating a few of these spring-themed games. There was a fun sorting game for parts of speech, popsicle puzzles for syllable practice, and task cards for prepositions 🌻🐞 And let's not forget about springtime write the room and rainbow spin a word at the spelling center. May is here and kids are buzzing with excitement! 🌸☀️ What better way to celebrate the spring season than with some fun and engaging literacy centers?! 📚 For the final month of the school year, I set up some games that focused on end of the year skills like grammar, syllables, prepositions, spelling words, and spring vocabulary - all with a cute springtime themes! 🌷🐝 These centers kept my students on task and engaged, giving me time to work with small groups and provide targeted interventions for those who needed it most.
