John Russell (1745-April 1806) was an English painter renowned for his portrait work in oils and pastels, and as a writer and teacher of painting techniques.
The results obviously pleased the monarch as, in 1790, Russell was appointed Crayon [pastel] Painter to King George III, Queen Charlotte, the Prince of Wales (both of whom Russell also painted) and the Duke of York.
A man of deep religious beliefs (a devout follower of George Whitefield), Russell was also interested in astronomy (he was a friend of Sir William Herschel) and in mathematics, inventing a scientific apparatus used to exhibit an accurate map of the moon he painted in 1795.

 Sphæra issue no. 2: article 4
Russell's earliest sketch in the album is dated to about 1764 and is identified there as his first drawing of the moon, but the main series of detailed sketches begins in 1785.
Russell's next lunar venture, following the large pastel of 1795, was to produce a globe of the moon - 'the only Work of this nature ever yet submitted to the Public' he claimed, and 'the result of the unremitted labour of many years'.
Russell's sensibility to the importance of light and shade in representing structure informs the whole enterprise, for while one planisphere is a conventional picture of the full moon, the other presents - in the interest of maximizing detail - the impossible image of the whole moon illuminated obliquely.

After tracing the sitter's outline in chalk on blue paper and laying in the colors, Russell smudged the outlines using his fingers and crayon; the resulting blurred effect and velvety textures endowed his portraits with remarkable vitality and luminosity.

Russell reasserted the British empirical tradition: knowledge is a matter of a relation between individual minds and independent objects in the world.
Russell himself had little direct influence on the Bloomsbury group, but his friend and colleague G.E.Moore was a huge influence on Keynes, Woolf, and E.M. Forster.
It’s remarkable that Russell and Sartre, who had nothing in common as philosophers, came together in the 1960s as leading opponents of the war in Vietnam–this in spite of the fact that Russell had always been a critic of the doctrine of the "superior virtue of the oppressed" which Sartre embraced wholeheartedly.

 Belle-Ile: Monet, Russell and Matisse in Brittany - Art Gallery of New South Wales - Absolutearts.com
Painters first came to Belle-Ile in the 19th century, lured by its remoteness, the picturesque survival of a colourful way of life and the freedom and emptiness of its ocean panoramas.
Inspired by Monet’s example, Russell declared to a fellow Australian artist that he now felt himself part of “a mighty revolution in art” because “impressionism as understood here consists not of hasty sketches but in finished work in which the purity of colour and intention is kept”.
It was subsequently, under Russell’s influence, that Matisse adopted the impressionist palette and made a series of paintings of rocks and sea that were like a homage to Monet’s work of a decade earlier.

Author John Russell knew Pierre Matisse (1900-1989) personally, and after his death was invited to work in the legendary art dealer's archives.
Russell's stately narrative draws on those letters, as well as Pierre's correspondence with the artists he represented (most notably Joan Miró, Balthus, Alberto Giacometti, and Jean Dubuffet).
In a captivating dual portrait, Russell, former chief art critic for the New York Times, draws on thousands of unpublished letters in the Pierre Matisse archive to illuminate an intense, difficult father-son dyad, as well as the pioneering gallery owner's tumultuous relations with his artists.

At this time the Duchess of Gordon, having secured two Dukes for her daughters, was trying to engage the interests of John's brother, the 5th Duke of Bedford, in her daughter Lady Georgiana Gordon.
This sudden death made Lord John Russell the 6th Duke of Bedford; the sudden responsibilities only six months after his wife's death caused an instability in which he refuted the Duchess of Gordon's announcement that there had been a private engagement between Georgiana and his deceased brother.
Duchess Georgiana was a kind and attentive stepmother to John's three sons, but the devious traits in her character, no doubt inherited from her own mother, made them mistrust her once they had grown up.

 Henri and Pierre Matisse - Cosmopolis, English edition - No. 2, January 2000
His teacher Moreau was a painter who despised the "art du salon", so Matisse remained in a certain sense an "outcast" of the art world.
In the mid-1890s, Matisse found inspiration in the work and the artists' colony of the Australian-born painter John Peter Russell whose inheritance allowed him to be independent.
Russell's book could sometimes benefit from being more analytical, but he still gives us some precious insights to the life of Miró, Giacometti, Balthus and Dubuffet.
