Art for Reason's Harvest: Willem Claesz Heda's "Breakfast Table with Blackberry Pie"
Labels:
Baroque,
Commentary,
Dutch,
Gray,
Holidays,
Painting,
Still Life
Nationality: Dutch
Born-Died: 1594-1680
I guess this isn't the ideal Reason's Harvest image, but perhaps if someone wanted to thank themselves with something nice you can't go wrong with blackberry pie. I love Dutch still lifes from the Baroque era; not only are they amazingly painted, but they are very often celebrations of material wealth.

Works by Henry G. Keller
Nationality: American
Born/Died: 1869-1949
Media: Various
Location: The Cleveland Artists Foundation, Lakewood, Ohio, USA
Since I've been going through the images I took of works from the Cleveland Artists Foundation's collection lately I thought I would post Henry G. Keller's work. Some of his work is better than others, but the good ones are very good. I was suprised to learn that Keller exhibited in the famous Armory Show in 1913. There is even a drawing scholarship in his name.
Apologies for the blurry images.

Jean and Paul Ulen were also artists from the Cleveland area who are hardly well known today. Their drawings were incredibly sensitive and their standards have certainly influenced my studio practice.
I believe that the most common criticism of their work was that they were merely technically skilled and lacked a unique artistic style. I would agree with this criticism to some extent, but many of their "figure studies" included many interesting and subtle stylistic decisions. I consider myself lucky to have had the privilege to catalog and photograph their work for the Cleveland Artists Foundation's archives. Below are some of my photographs of their work.

This is a painting of heaven on earth, and despite the title, burning it would be sacrilege.
