Vertigo of color : Matisse, Derain, and the origins of Fauvism
\"Over an intense nine weeks in the summer of 1905 in the modest fishing village of Collioure on the French Mediterranean, Henri Matisse and Andre Derain embarked on a partnership that led to a wholly new, radical artistic language later known as Fauvism. Their daring, energetic experiments with color, form, structure, and perspective changed the course of French painting; it marked an introduction to early modernism and introduced Matisse's first important body of work in his long career. This exhibition, which is co-organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, emphasizes as never before the legacy of that summer and examines the paintings, drawings, and watercolors of Matisse and Derain through sixty-five works on loan from national and international museums, including Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre Pompidou; National Galleries of Scotland; National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; and the Museum of Modern Art, New York; as well as private collections. With this new direction in painting, Matisse and Derain manipulated color in radical ways--nature took on hues responding to the artists' sensations rather than reality. At the Salon d'Automne in 1905, when Matisse and Derain unveiled their controversial canvases, a prominent French journalist labeled them \"les Fauves,\" or wild beasts.\" Metropolitan Museum of Art. https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/vertigo-of-color.

Geology of the Derain quadrangle (H10), Mercury
We present the results of geological mapping of Mercury's Derain (H10) quadrangle (0°-72°E and 22.5°N-22.5°S) using data from the MESSENGER spacecraft. The map is presented on a scale of 1:3,000,000, for which linework was drawn at 1:300,000. We distinguish three major morphological plains units: Smooth, Intermediate, and Intercrater Plains. We produced two versions of the map, with craters classified according to a 3- and 5-class degradation system. This allows compatibility with other MESSENGER-era maps and Mariner 10-era maps. This map will help provide science context for the ESA-JAXA BepiColombo mission to Mercury.

VAE-CoGAN: Unpaired image-to-image translation for low-level vision
Low-level vision problems, such as single image haze removal and single image rain removal, usually restore a clear image from an input image using a paired dataset. However, for many problems, the paired training dataset will not be available. In this paper, we propose an unpaired image-to-image translation method based on coupled generative adversarial networks (CoGAN) called VAE-CoGAN to solve this problem. Different from the basic CoGAN, we propose a shared-latent space and variational autoencoder (VAE) in framework. We use synthetic datasets and the real-world images to evaluate our method. The extensive evaluation and comparison results show that the proposed method can be effectively applied to numerous low-level vision tasks with favorable performance against the state-of-the-art methods.

Multi-Scale Aggregation Residual Channel Attention Fusion Network for Single Image Deraining
Images captured on rainy days are prone to rain streaking on various scales. These images taken on a rainy day will be disturbed by rain streaks of varying degrees, resulting in degradation of image quality. This study sought to eliminate rain streaks from images using a two-stage network architecture involving progressive multi-scale recovery and aggregation. The proposed multi-scale aggregation residual channel attention fusion network (MARCAFNet) uses kernels of various scales to recover details at various levels of granularity to enhance the robustness of the model to streaks of various sizes, densities, and shapes. When applied to benchmark datasets, the proposed method outperformed other state-of-the-art schemes in the restoration of image details without distorting the image structure.

Frequency-Based Haze and Rain Removal Network (FHRR-Net) with Deep Convolutional Encoder-Decoder
Removing haze or rain is one of the difficult problems in computer vision applications. On real-world road images, haze and rain often occur together, but traditional methods cannot solve this imaging problem. To address rain and haze problems simultaneously, we present a robust network-based framework consisting of three steps: image decomposition using guided filters, a frequency-based haze and rain removal network (FHRR-Net), and image restoration based on an atmospheric scattering model using predicted transmission maps and predicted rain-removed images. We demonstrate FHRR-Net’s capabilities with synthesized and real-world road images. Experimental results show that our trained framework has superior performance on synthesized and real-world road test images compared with state-of-the-art methods. We use PSNR (peak signal-to-noise) and SSIM (structural similarity index) indicators to evaluate our model quantitatively, showing that our methods have the highest PSNR and SSIM values. Furthermore, we demonstrate through experiments that our method is useful in real-world vision applications.

Matisse & Derain : collioure 1905
MATISSE & DERAIN: COLLIOURE 1905 celebrates the centenary of Fauvism. Caught up in the light of the South of France and no longer wanting to endure the constraints of any theory, Matisse arrived in Collioure on the 16th May 1905. Soon, the young Derain came and joined him for an artistic adventure that has no equal in the history of painting and will permanently leave its mark on the century. Their collaboration explored groundbreaking themes such as translating exacerbated feelings into colors, using color as a key element of a painting structure and distancing the artist from its subject. A few brilliant masterpieces were born from these few weeks of intense creation.

Western influences on Postcolonial Artist Tanweer Murshad's Art
This research analyses the western influences of Romanticism and Fauvism on late Tanweer Murshad's landscape paintings. As a postcolonial artist, he lived and worked in Lahore, Tanweer Murshad's biography and artistic point of view is discussed in this paper. The western inspirations regarding the use of medium and techniques of landscape painting is also addressed in detail. Two landscape paintings are chosen to make a comparative analysis, one from 19thcentury Romantic Artist Turner and other from early 20th century Fauvist Andre Derain. The comparison explains about the similarities or dissimilarities in style of painting, compositions and subject matter. The change of methods, historical and social aspects of the works are also discoursed. The paper is an effort to explore western impact on postcolonial landscape painting in subcontinent by Tanweer Murshad. It paves a way to look for more western inspirations in the artworks produced in postcolonial period in Lahore. The postcolonial reading to discover the influence of Western hegemony on landscapes painting is analysed. This research is based on qualitative aspects, visual observation and analysis.

Here comes summer
Every July, like migrating birds, my fella, my dog and I go south for a month of reading and recuperation - our hound's book list is, of course, the most imposing. As well as planning stopovers along the way, I create an exhaustive playlist, impeccably timed to burst into Die Meistersinger von Nrnberg as we drive over the German border. Wagner's near five-hour epic is my idea of summer, beginning on a balmy day in 16th-century Nuremberg and quickly turning into a barmy night. \"Madness! Madness! Everywhere!\" shouts cobbler-poet and Renaissance man Hans Sachs, my operatic hero. Why all the fuss? Well, summer means a song contest and the local Mastersingers have begun squabbling over the rules and are even copying each other's entries. After a night of rioting, they gather in the meadows outside the city for their Eurovision meets Schopenhauer showdown - after all, it wouldn't be Germany without a bit of impenetrable philosophy! Rather than the old bastions, it is the young Walther who bags the prize, the hand of goldsmith Pogner's daughter Eva, with \"Shining in the rosy light of morning\". It's a pure hit of musical Vitamin D. But Wagner doesn't miss the melancholy of the season either. As Walther claims Eva, the compassionate Sachs's hopes evaporate. Her friend for years, he nonetheless realises that Walther is the \"right man\" for Eva and a new guardian for the Mastersingers' traditions. Who needs Scott McKenzie's \"San Francisco\" when you can have Wagner's summer of love?
