Monet's Waterlilies Wall Calendar 2023 (Art Calendar)

Product Information

Acclaimed British photographer Roger Mayne (1929 – 2014) celebrated the lives of young people growing-up in his evocative documentary images in the 1950s and early 1960s. Self-taught and widely influential in the acceptance of photography as an art form, he was passionate about photographing human life as he found it – most famously the working-class communities of West London. Capturing children at play and the emerging phenomena of the swaggering teenager, Mayne discovered in the young a defining energy that perfectly embodied both the scars and radicalism of post-war Britain. Our “Claude Monet” linear calendar helps introduce children to the artwork of Claude Monet. Each painting has been selected to represent the seasons as well. Pair this linear calendar with the “Claude Monet Activity Bundle” for even more hands-on learning opportunities! This focused display in the Project Space will be the first devoted to The Courtauld’s significant collection of Bell’s work. It will include paintings such as her masterpiece A Conversation, as well as the bold, abstract textile designs she produced for the Omega Workshops, led by influential artist and critic Roger Fry in London, which aimed to abolish the boundaries between the fine and decorative arts and bring the arts into everyday life. The exhibition will highlight one of the most cutting-edge artists working in Britain in the early 20th century. How many days are there in this month? How many days were in last month? What about next month? Which months have an even number of days? Which months have an odd number of days?

Study a new constellation each month of the year with the “Constellations” linear calendar. In addition to observing the constellation in the sky, you can also read constellation myths from around the world with Star Stories: Constellation Tales From Around the World by Anita Ganeri. Once set up, a linear calendar is essentially a timeline. It serves as an important visual learning aid for preschoolers and elementary kids. On a linear calendar, the days of the week and the months of the year are arranged sequentially, with the dates clearly marked. Time is a very abstract concept for young children, making it difficult to grasp. Because a linear calendar offers an up-close, sequential view of the year, it establishes a clear framework for when dates and important events are occurring. It gives kids a point of reference. They can clearly see the day’s date, determine which day is yesterday, which day is tomorrow, how many days left until the weekend, how many months until their birthday, etc. How to Set Up a Linear Calendar This exhibition, which displays around fifty paintings and watercolours from public and private collections, spanning over forty years of the artist’s career presents an opportunity for visitors this side of the Atlantic to discover an artist who, although a household name in America, is not as well known in Europe. There is no painting by Homer in a UK public collection. The exhibition is organised by the National Gallery, London, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The Credit Suisse Exhibition Lucian Freud: New Perspectives The first in-depth exhibition in the UK of the art of Winslow Homer (1836–1910), one of the most celebrated and admired American painters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is taking place at the National Gallery until 8 January 2023.

New video animations featuring famous paintings in the National Gallery and the Holburne Museum, Bath, have been created by Nalini Malani, the first artist to receive the National Gallery’s Contemporary Fellowship, supported by Art Fund. The project is the culmination of Malani’s selection in 2020 as the first artist to receive the National Gallery’s Contemporary Fellowship, supported by Art Fund. The two-year research and production programme has allowed Malani to work in close collaboration with specialists from both the National Gallery and the Holburne Museum in Bath to study the institutions and their collections, with the aim to create a new artwork. The Ugly Duchess: Beauty and Satire in the Renaissance A Digital Resource Hub was set up, that supported our key delivery strands of: Providing advice and support online, face to face interventions and group work, and by working collaboratively with schools and their networks to support the re-integration of children into school. According to the Impact Evaluation Report produced by Cordis Bright, 98% of families said the support was helpful, and that they felt listened to, 7,331 children had reduced isolation and loneliness and 2,263 children became more settled at school. The exhibition takes Manet’s portrait of Eva Gonzalès (1849–1883), as its focus, with the aim of presenting fresh perspectives on women artists and their artistic practice in 19th-century Paris and more broadly. The free exhibition includes works by Eva Gonzalès, Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, Edouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, Alfred Stevens and Laura Knight. Exhibition organised by the National Gallery and the Hugh Lane Gallery, Dublin. Turner on Tour

Begun over three stays in the capital between 1899 and 1901, Monet’s ‘Thames series’ – depicting Charing Cross Bridge, Waterloo Bridge and the Houses of Parliament – was unveiled at a landmark exhibition at his dealer’s gallery in Paris in 1904. Monet fervently wanted to show them in London the following year, but plans fell through. To this day they have never been the subject of a dedicated UK exhibition. A ground-breaking new exhibition of over a hundred paintings and sculptures by artists such as Cézanne, Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse, Kandinsky, Claudel, Sonia Delaunay and Kollwitz will open at the National Gallery next year. 'After Impressionism: Inventing Modern Art' (25 March – 13 August 2023), will include some of the most important works of art created between 1886 and around 1914. While celebrating Paris as the international artistic capital, 'After Impressionism: Inventing Modern Art' will also be one of the first exhibitions to focus on the exciting and often revolutionary artistic developments across other European cities during this period. Important loans come to the exhibition from institutions and private collections worldwide including Museum of Modern Art, New York; Musée d’Orsay, Paris; Art Institute of Chicago; Musée Rodin, Paris; National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh; Museu nacional d’arte de Catalunya, Barcelona; Tate; and Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, Connecticut.

This display will present a selection of drawings and prints acquired by The Courtauld since 2018. Highlights include a 17 th-century Florentine drawing which will be here reunited for the first time with its left half from which it was cut at some point in its history. Female artists are significantly represented, the selection includes works by Mary Cassatt (the first by the Impressionist painter to enter the collection), Maliheh Afnan, Deanna Petherbridge and Susan Schwalb, as well as earlier watercolours. Prints by Sir Grayson Perry and Sir Frank Bowling will also feature.

From 1984 to 1991, pioneering American artist Jasper Johns (b.1930) produced a significant body of paintings, drawings, and prints inspired by the four seasons. The Seasons are complex and distinctive works, weaving together themes of artist creation, the passage of time, and the artist’s own biography, with Johns’ shadow appears prominently in each composition. Printmaking is one of Johns’ major preoccupations, and this display will reveal Johns’ application of an array of techniques to create a collaging of imagery that is both evocative and mysterious. The Courtauld was fortunate to be given the series of nine prints by Johns in 2016 by Barbara Bertozzi Castelli, the widow of John’s long-term dealer Leo Castelli, and is the only museum in the UK to have the series in its collection. This exhibition project brought together a team of curators and paper conservators at The Courtauld and the J. Paul Getty Museum to explore the technical aspects and artistic richness of the use of blue paper. A linear calendar visually displays the entire year in one continuous line. This helps make the passage of time more concrete for young children. It allows them to count down to when special events, holidays, and birthdays are occurring. Why a Linear Calendar is Perfect for Preschoolers and Elementary Kids This display will present a selection of drawings on blue paper from The Courtauld’s collection, ranging from works by the Venetian Renaissance artist Jacopo Tintoretto to an Indian landscape by German-born artist Johann Zoffany.
