Self portrait as a hunter
Love the humour in this self portrait, Max Slevogt’s portraits do come over as a bit pompous but pretty sure this one from 1907 ‘Selbstbildnis als Jäger’ was a tongue in cheek one.
I can’t think of an artist less like a hunter than Max with his cigars and glasses… -
Max Slevogt in the garden
If you said there was something very Cezanne or Manet about this painting, you’d be correct at least in the latter case, he was influenced by Manet.
Max Slevogt, Self-Portrait in the garden at Godramstein, 1910. More info here.
In later life his style became much more loose, more stucco. Like my favourite print of his: -
Max Slevogt bowler self-portrait
Returning more to the blog’s main theme, here’s a self-portrait from German impressionist painter Max Slevogt, 1913 ‘Selbstbildnis Mit Schwarzem Hut’ which roughly translated is ‘Self-portrait with black hat’ – of course a bowler.
Doesn’t look like he’s that fond of the city? More info here. -
Merrick Toppers
“Top hats in 1872. A cabinet portrait of two men linking arms, possibly brothers or close friends, photographed in 1872 or 1873 at the “Merrick” photographic studio at 33 Western Road, Brighton, which was owned by Brighton entrepreneur Joseph Langridge (1812-1895).”
Yeah, ‘friends’, totally friends, LOL. *gaydar goes to max*. Again from the Photo History Sussex site, a treasure trove and even talks about the different types of top hats, something I’ve ranted on before about those doing costume drama using the wrong types…. -
An old photo of a formless ghost I reblogged is being flagged! This is madness.
Oh… and a painting of hands
-a photograph of some woods
-a Rossetti painting
-a Gericault painting of a fully clothed painter
– a picture of a living room,
-George IV riding a horse
-an illustration from Dickens’ Barnaby Rudge
-a midshipman’s uniform
-a window
I’ll add these have been flagged on this very blog:
– A fully clothed picture of a Victorian man in a top hat
– Two Holbein portraits. He only did clothed people and faces!
– A photo of Matisse drawing a naked male abstract greek statue, a Kouros. Not sexual at all.
– Two men wrestling in shorts – that was an illustration too
– A drawing of Nietzsche naked but no genitalia shown
– A life drawing of a man but again no genitalia shown
– Nicoletto da Modena etching of a Triton (again, not even a human bottom half so no genitalia)
