Series - Art in 1914
Amedeo Modigliani, “Portrait of Frank Burty Haviland”, 1914. Modi as his friends called him Utrillo Max Jacob Kisling or Soutine arrived in Paris in 1906 he devoted himself to sculpture from 1909 to 1914 he then took up the brushes again to create this sublime portrait of the painter Frank Burty. Burty did not write his name in art history for the quality of his paintings (although we might look at them again) but for having in 1950 with Pierre Brune created the Museum of Modern Art of Céret. They then asked artists who frequented the city to donate some of their works. Picasso offers 53 pieces and Henri Matisse 14 preparatory drawings of Fauvist paintings produced in Collioure in 1905. This set will enrich the substantial donation from Ms. Aribaud who had bequeathed to the city in January 1934 her husband's collection which included paintings by Juan Gris Auguste Herbin Andrew Masson Kisling Manolo… Burty came from the Haviland family who left the United States and settled in France in Limoges in 1842 to develop the Haviland firm of which the porcelains are part still of excellence in tableware.
August Macke, "Market in Algiers", 1914. 
August Macke, “Terrace at Saint-Germain”, 1914.
Claude Monet, “The Irises”, 1914.
This beauty is from a series of large paintings that Claude Monet created during World War I experimenting with familiar motifs on an ever-larger scale. here 2m x 2m! In the absence of a discernible horizon or clear sense of depth the viewer is both above and below this water-like surface on which various plant and floral forms float or emerge. You have to stay in front of such a canvas for a long time for the elements to be read. Then moving they go back to blending into the paint. I can stay like this for hours in a fascinating dialogue with art! This work remained in the Giverny workshop long after Monet's death in 1926 and was only rediscovered in the 1950s after being lightly damaged by shrapnel during World War II.

Pablo Picasso, “Composition with Sliced Pear”, 1914.
This work is one of the most formal compositions produced by Picasso in 1913 and 1914 in which the connection with objects existing in reality is reduced to a minimum. There are no recognizable objects except for sections of a sliced pear (or rather its symbolic outline) and a twig – their shapes are abstracted and reduced to flat spots of color. Funny to see how Picasso is capable of mixing cubism and pointillism. Only he can dare it.
