“The God of the universe - the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and e-minor, loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing, love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss.”
~ Francis Chan
[Large Pine, c.1905 - Paul Cezanne] 

• Chan, senior pastor of Cornerstone Church in Simi Valley, Calif., offers a radical call for evangelicals to consider and emulate in this debut guide to living “crazy” for God. Chan’s own life compels him to live with urgency, and with good reason. His mother died giving birth to him, his stepmother died when he was nine, and his dad when he was 12. As a pastor, Chan says that conducting weekly funerals for people younger than himself has likewise sobered him to life’s unexpectedness and frailty.

• Paul Cézanne (January 19, 1839 - October 22, 1906) was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th century conception of artistic endeavour to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century.

Monet, Renoir, and Manet were among the 19th century artists called the “Impressionists.” They were given that label by their detractors. The style, subjects, and marketing of these artists differed from what was generally approved and admired by the conservative art world.

Are you seeking an endorsement from the established order?

Are you willing to be an “Impressionist?”

This standout painting by Berthe Morisot is one of the lead works in our Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale on 28 February #Christies20thCentury

Morisot defiantly pursued a career as an artist in the latter half of the 19th century in an art world dominated by men, painting the world around her with constant innovation. She was a founding member of the Impressionist group, and exhibited with them in all but one of the group exhibitions between 1874 and 1886.

Fashion played an important role in Berthe Morisot’s art, perhaps nowhere more than in Femme en Noir, depicting an elegant young woman making her way to the theatre #Christies20thCentury

Painted in 1875, a year before the Second Impressionist exhibition, this painting is one of the only full-length portraits in Berthe Morisot’s oeuvre, and is undoubtedly one of the finest works of her career.
