"Evacuation" by Helios Gómez shows columns of refugees fleeing, their homes in flames behind them. ⁠ ⁠ Fear, exhaustion, and despair are etched on their faces. Women clutch children, their eyes are haunted. These eyes, having seen the horror of oppression and hatred, seem tortured. Tones of ochre, orange, and brown feature heavily for the land, the flames, and also the faces. The atmosphere is oppressive, desolate. This painting shows the human cost of fascism and ominously fore-shadowed a mass evacuation that took place just two years later in 1939.⁠ ⁠ Today is the #WorldRefugeeDay ⁠ Read ➡️ "Helios Gómez: Romani Revolutionary" [🔗link in bio]⁠ ✍️ Candy Bedworth @candybedworth⁠ ⁠ 💬 Late January and early February of 1939 saw nearly half a million Spanish civilians and soldiers flee to France as refugees. All sought sanctuary from Franco’s brutal fascist regime. This huge migration is known as the Retirada (Spanish for Retreat). Furthermore, it was the biggest single influx of refugees ever known in France. The French were both unprepared and didn’t want a mass of foreigners entering their country, calling them “foreign undesirables”. ⁠ ⁠ Romani people were particularly unwelcome. Families were separated and imprisoned behind barbed wire with no food, water, or shelter. Dysentery and disease spread fast in the overcrowded, rat-infested camps. Tragically, any Romani who managed to survive until the German Occupation of France was likely to be exterminated in Nazi gas chambers.⁠ ⁠ 🖼️ Helios Gómez, Evacuation, 1937, Museu Nacional D’Art de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain. @museunacional⁠ @eriac_romamoma⁠ ⁠ #romani #catalan #heliosgomez #expressionism #spanishcivilwar #spanishart

Banksy "The Son of a Migrant from Syria" (2015)⁠ ⁠ Today is the #WorldRefugeeDay⁠ This work was completed exactly in the refugee camp of Calais, also known as “The Jungle”, in 2015. It represents Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, with his typical black sweater, a pair of jeans and a pair of sneakers. But he also carries a backpack and an old Apple computer. In fact, Steve Jobs was actually the biological son of a man who emigrated from Syria to the United States but was later adopted by an American couple. He really was the son of a migrant, and was able to realize an incredible thing such as a worldwide known company.⁠ ⁠ Read about Banksy's politically involved art ➡️ "World Refugee Day: Banksy on the Side of Migrants" ⁠ [🔗link in bio]⁠ ✍️ Camilla de Laurentis⁠ ⁠ 🖼️ Banksy, The Son of a Migrant from Syria, 2015, Calais, France.

John William Waterhouse "The Lady of Shalott" (1888)⁠ ⁠ Discover the literature inspirations in the Pre-Raphaelite art. ⁠ ➡️"Literature in the Pre-Raphaelite Paintings" ⁠ [🔗link in bio]⁠ ✍️Anastasia Manioudaki⁠ ⁠ 💬 Tennyson’s Arthurian poem of the cursed Lady of Shalott fascinated the Victorians. The poem tells of an isolated lady with a mysterious curse. She must never look out the window. Instead, she sees the outside world through a mirror and weaves those scenes on her loom. However, one day she looks out the window instead of the mirror when she sees Sir Lancelot riding by. Consequently, that activates the curse and throws her into an emotional state.⁠ ⁠ Waterhouse painted a later stage of the poem. The lady knows she is going to die from the curse, due to her sexual desire for Lancelot. As a result, she leaves the tower and takes a boat down to Camelot. Unfortunately, by the time she arrives, she is already dead.⁠ ⁠ Waterhouse keeps the aesthetics of the Pre-Raphaelite’s but moves on technically to experiment with impressionism as seen in the handling of nature.⁠ ⁠ 🖼️ John William Waterhouse, The Lady of Shalott, 1888, Tate Britain, London, UK. @tate⁠ ⁠ #preraphaelite #johnwilliamwaterhouse #ladyofshalott #19thcenturypainting #victorian #arthistory #paintingoftheday #art

Paul Klee "Ad Parnassum" (1932)⁠ ⁠ Paul Klee was a German painter born in Switzerland. He came from a family of musicians and musical traditions had a great impact on his future works. His art often allude to poetry, music and dreams. He also experimented with colors achieving in some of his painting almost a fluorescent effect. ⁠ ⁠ Klee’s highly original style had its roots in Expressionism, Cubism, and early Surrealism. His works often seem simplistic, childlike, and naive. Sometimes they lean towards geometry, sometimes towards disegno, that is drawing. ⁠ ⁠ Read ➡️ "Autumn Atmosphere in Paul Klee’s Paintings" [🔗link in bio]⁠ ✍️Magda Michalska⁠ ⁠ 🖼️ Paul Klee, Ad Parnassum, 1932, Kunstmuseum Bern, Switzerland. @kunstmuseumbern⁠ ⁠ #paulklee #expressionism #surrealism #modernart #arthistory⁠

Mela Muter "Portrait of two girls" (ca. 1920)⁠ ⁠ Muter was most famous for portraying the members of the Parisian Boheme, but she was also deeply fascinated with capturing the intimacy permeating the daily lives of mothers.⁠ ⁠ Read ➡️"Mela Muter – Accomplished Portraitist and Devoted Mother" [🔗link in bio]⁠ ✍️ Magda Michalska⁠ ⁠ 💬 In Paris, she quickly became part of the bohemian and intellectual elite. In terms of painting, she is associated with the so-called Parisian school, but because of her highly individual style, inspired by Whistler, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cézanne, Vuillard, Picasso, and Severini, it is difficult to label her with a specific trend. Most often she is associated with Post-Impressionism.⁠ ⁠ 🖼️ Mela Muter, Portrait of two girls, ca. 1920. ⁠ ⁠ #melamuter #postimpressionism #5womenartists #portrait #modernart #womanartist
