Three Chairs- Tribute to Weber, Van Gogh and Sargent

2011-09-18T05:29:00.000-07:00

The Metropolitan Richmond Art Association challenged members to paint three chairs for the October meeting. The challenge was inspired by a quote from Thoreau about furnishing his room at Walden Pond : " I had three chairs in my house, one for solitude, two for friendship and three for society." Visiting the VMFA, I saw a Max Weber painting, The Black Chair and thought I would paint three chairs as done by famous artists. Not as easy as one might think to find paintings of chairs. Van Gogh painted Chair, and I found the John Singer Sargent - Old Chair (yes it only has three legs). I combined in an interior scene with components of all three paintings. Quite fun. 16x20" oil.
