Synopsis of cultural image
Erwin Panofsky, American theorist an art historian born in Hannover 1892 together with Warburg an Saxl enlarged classification an interpretation of compositional elements an motifs in Image of visual art, what will form as Modern Iconology institution.

For him introspection, empirical senses an perception is foundation for tachistoscope.
Also Alfred Adler, Freud opponent developed concept of individual psihology /inferiority Complex explaining that feelings of inferiority in childhood important role attempting to gain endeavour motivation, emotions and behaviours.
Erik Erikson form 8 dualistic stages of available conflicts when G Jung focus on Analytical Psihology - collective unconscious is common to all of us - archetypes.
Well, these we can explain really pragmatically in today semiotic an objective-subjective variations of social media such as Tik.Tok or Instagram ect.

Monumentality as a privilege
One year after the collapse of the Habsburg Holy Roman Empire 1807 Prussia signs the Peace in Tilsit, after the legation, major socio-economic an military reforms followed the France model.
Unification of 37 German states an 4 capital city into German Confederation in which Austria an Prussia fight for supremacy !816-66.
1863 Republican Jules Favre, minister of foreign affairs soon lead to peace with Prussia.
So, modern Germany ( All states except Austria ) formed after Ems telegram incident when Prussian cancellous Otto von Bismarck sent request to France.
Klimt is important figure in Western cultural domain well knowing for protesting an defiance entrenched conventional, moral an ethic norms of academism.
I single out sightline which dominated by harmony, tranquility an a coherent connection between architecture an vegetation above water surface in eternity.

Objectif dans subjectif et vice versa
"The fourth summer of my hard, an most desperate life in Western Australia has arrived" - These are words of father Grga , who was mining gold an sending a few pounds to Jelica. The diary was written at the turn of the century.
Two autoportrets, two different persons, one view of subjective observation that is variable in the form of creation.
When I first encountered a self-portrait of Vilko Gecan - yu ar my alter ego - than knowing superficially who u ar.
This Gecan autopotret I consider one of the most successful of the Early European Expressionism.

Fraction dans son ensemble
One of four key role players of the Neo-impressionist movement who identified with Seurat, Signac an Pissarro, developing a structured snippets of 'real-time'.
Louis Hayet born in Pontoise 1864, expressed visualy from early ages by traveling through France. Same year born industrialist-engineer Leon Ernest Gaumont former of Motion Picture Industry.
Hayets visual composition successively an cautiously structured in plein-air manner. This exact composition limn my observation through cognitive cognition.
The uniform an alternation of soft, light pastel tones is firmly separated by horizontal line of reflection. It is the metaphor that dominates the compositional discourse as an element. Also fragments at horizon line, the farthest point from the observer are structured with sfumato.
Louis Hayet / Banks of the Oise at Dawn / 1888 / Oil&Canvans
Paul Signac / The Town Beach, Collioure, Opus 165 / 1887
Interesting dimension of Signac composition are highlighting water suface an Sun's shadow at architectural surface that structured gradiation of harmonic light, mild an moderate, ultramarine tones.

'Beyond the Sea'
In the context of contemporary visual expression and consideration of so-called slow living here I correlate the means of two visual artists who lived and created in different cultural and geographical environment duo own historical background.
Stipe Nobilo born at Lumbarda/Korkyra 1945 an all his life surrender unique&individual expressive style of element coastal landscapes/seascapes.
Even, Hugo Grenville born in UK 1958 his visual elements are not just landscapes, his also considered leader expressive colorist in UK same as Nobilo in Croatia.
In the domain of expressive style of visual artist Grenville we immediately notice a strong connection of influence Les Nabis or French landscape impressionists Boudin, Pissaorro an Monet.
Transparent, latent, floating disconnected bundles of elements brush strokes create abstract forms recognize compositional eternity. These coloristic structure are harmoniously tones of indigo, lapis lazuli and emerald green fractions.

Nobilo structure the visual composition differently.
At first motif lumineux of cobalt&ultramarin blue is dominant in eternity. Also island and mainland fragmentary continuously renewed throughout aesthetic. Often, biomorphic elements of vegetation, inhabited objects and horizont are firmly secluded by white structural compositional homogeneity.
And at second the style of applying tint with a brush is essential different. Chouches de pinceaue riches et connectees in strictly fragmentary contrast while at Grenville individually gently touch an visualy refract.

Virtuosos of Perceptual Psychology
This founder of Croatian modern art left an unrivalled, unique an individual aesthetic approach in the historical context of recording a lifestyle and communication with the audience.
Born in Cavtat 1855 as Biagio Faggioni. Vlaho Bukovac has been traveling since he was 10, sailing America - Constantinople - Odessa - Liverpool line.
1877 going Paris with bishop Strossmayer will change his life. Although professor Cabanel influenced his work, he accepts plein-air an the impressionist canon.
1913 honorary member of Czech Academy of emperor Franz Joseph I. for Sciences, Languages an Arts.
1873 - 1893 Salon parisien
This visual composition realised before Bukovac go in Paris. His expressive style, before encountering impressionism, reflects realism an a unique manner of illuminating the stage scene.
Skilfully enthralling with impasto the play of daily light in the harbor with boats.
Fishing Boats ( Port with Ships ) / 1885
Ships in Repair / 1873
Well know an most consistent French impressionist Oscar-Claude Monet born 1840 learned his trade in Le Havre painting portraits of his family as well as local scenes an their portraits. Boudin greatly influenced Monet.
This particular composition I singled out for the purpose of correlation with Bukovac Fishing Boats.
Even though were realised 12 year distance, inclusive the scenes inseparably connect them. Why ?
Both scene show objects in a distinctive environment. Also, ships ar at rest. In contrast the crowd in front of the central nave as well as the name of the scene, suggest the action that is taking place. Therefore we immediately, logically conclude Monet's visual composition is dynamic in comparing static an stillness of Bukovac Fishing Boats.
The reflection of the surface on the sea, form with fast, undulating, sometimes separated fractions, rhythmic strokes of the brush, typical for Monet visualisation of water surface.
Monet tint applied in airy, thin an almost transparent layers in eternity.

Pathways of Complementary Contrast
In context of contemporary art, Inevitably refer to leader of experimenting with new media ( digital photo ) David Hockney, who brilliantly composes landscape structures.
It's difficult to frame him in exact artistic movement, an he has formed his exceptional visual style over decades by playing with variety of techniques/medium.
It is interesting to note that Van Gogh influenced one phase of Hockney's visual expression, so he skilfully reinterpreted in his own expressive manner.

Why I singled those three art works from Collection ?
The composition is conscientiously structured with different elements.
Rural paths, fragments of vegetation where studied and memory woven into asymmetric eternity. The same emphasis tones of purple, indian red or pastel scarlet in complementary contrast with dominant tones of emerald green.
From the way in which Hockney form his works, we infer that he conducted an created through observation in a certain geographical entity.
