I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- NGAP_140116_053.JPG: Impressionism:
Impressionist artists were devoted to capturing the life they saw around them. Many of the paintings here are set in small towns along the Seine -- Argenteuil, Chatou, Verheuil -- where the artists lived and worked. Reached by an expanding rail network, these once rural places offered not only sunlit and flower-strewn fields or diamondlike reflections on water but people engaged in the pastimes of modern life. The paintings scintillate with color and light to transcribe a direct visual experience. Painted quickly, often outdoors, in front of the scene, they seek to reproduce not simply what but how the artist saw, capturing fleeting effects of light and atmophere with flickering brushwork.

- NGAP_140116_141.JPG: Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Late Degas:
Too often, the personal histories of Van Gogh and Gauguin have obscured the intensity, vision, and discipline that propelled them to exploit the potential of color, line, and form for emotional and symbolic effect. Van Gogh sought inspiration in the strong color and animating line of Japanese art, Gauguin in the primal power of myth. Van Gogh's brushstrokes became even more expressive, while Gauguin's Tahitian imagery became more symbolic, more darkly enigmatic.
Degas, it seems, older and trained in the classical tradition, could scarcely differ more. Yet the works in this room show him still experimenting into his eighties, with images that are as radical as any created by his younger, post-impressionist colleagues.
