Among the French and émigré artists of École de Paris, many of whom where "cursed" by a life of repeated dissipation to die tragically under appreciated and suffering from poverty, painter Moïse Kisling could be called an exception. Born in Poland, he came to Paris when he was 19. After two years, he already had contracts with art dealers and was living well. Known as cheerful and open-minded, Kisling gained many friends, and became a central figure in the nightly festivities of Paris, and was even called "King of Montparnasse." One year before this portrait was painted, his first solo exhibition was a great success and secured his fame. The model in this painting is his spouse, Renée, whom he married five years before. She often posed for her husband. This work was completed around the time Kisling started to establish his own style of painting. Emphasis on volume, a simplified background plus a smooth and silky quality all speak undoubtedly of the beginning of the Kisling style. It is said that the couple enjoyed a happy married life filled with mutual understanding and trust. "The blessed painter" Kisling was apparently also a good husband and father. Renée has short, dark brown bobbed hair, styled in a fashion typical of the early 1920s. Her face is pale with subtly rendered features, and her expression is one of quiet contemplation. Her eyes are downcast, and her mouth is gently closed in a neutral expression. She rests her chin on her hand, cradling her face. She wears a vibrant, loose-fitting red sleeveless bodice, which contrasts against her pale skin. Her skirt is a blend of reds, blues, and purples, with a plaid pattern, painted in a loose, impressionistic way. Around her neck, she wears a thick strand of elegant pearls. The background is a deep, moody blue, painted with visible brushstrokes suggestive of depth and texture via darker and lighter areas, creating slight variations in tone.

Columbia Prof. Rashid Khalidi Cancels Course, Slams School’s Trump Settlement “I don’t see how people can, in good conscience, continue as before inside these universities,” Khalidi says.

Rashid Khalidi, the renowned Edward Said professor emeritus of modern Arab studies at Columbia University, says he is withdrawing from teaching his fall course after the school has agreed to pay a $200 million settlement to Trump, who accused the university of failing to protect Jewish students.
