O obrazie
A sunlit salon at Walter Gay's home outside Paris supplies the setting for The Commode, painted in 1905–1912 and now in Chicago's Art Institute. Its furniture and decoration follow Rococo taste. Gay lived at the Château du Bréau, the house shown here, as an American expatriate. Small pictures of furnished interiors occupied most of his professional life. He usually left people out of them, suggesting their presence instead through reflections, windows and doors standing open into further spaces. On view in gallery 273.
Opis muzeum
American expatriate Walter Gay devoted the majority of his professional career to painting small-scale, richly adorned interiors like this one. The Commode depicts the Rococo-inspired salon at Château du Bréau, the artist’s residence outside Paris. Although he typically did not portray people in his works, Gay suggested their presence through the use of mirrors, windows, and open doors as seen in this bright and airy, sun-filled room.
