Natalia Gontcharova (1881-1962)

La Gare, a 1913-1914 oil painting that has passed through various collections, was highly contested yesterday at Drouot, easily exceeding its high estimate of €500,000. The dynamism of the curves and the colors, typical of the Russian painter, was present, with the mechanics of the bodies echoing those of the machines.

A painting by Natalia Goncharova fetched the highest bid at this auction of high-quality works.

This autumn, Palazzo Strozzi in Florence will present a major retrospective of Natalia Goncharova. Its work will be presented alongside masterpieces by the celebrated artists who served her either as inspiration or as direct interlocutors, such as Gauguin, Matisse, Picasso, Balla and Boccioni, says the press release.

The fragmented statue was discovered during an excavation of a site in northern Greece known as the ancient city of Philippi. It depicts a larger-than-life young Hercules and dates back to the 2nd century CE. The team from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AuTH) was led by Professor Natalia Poulos. (Artnews)  

The train hurtles by in paintings, photographs, posters and objects, captured by artists in thrall to its modernity and fleetingness. All aboard the Orient-Express, the Train Bleu and the Golden Arrow!

This looks almost like a painting with its frame and stretcher, but it is actually a tapestry. Based on a design by Joan Miró, it was hand-woven in three copies.
