Paul Gauguin | Still life



  • "L'arte è un'astrazione: spremetela dalla natura sognando di fronte ad essa e preoccupatevi più della creazione che del risultato".

  • "When the physical organism breaks up, the soul survives. It then takes on another body".

Pierre-Auguste Renoir | Stile artistico

Renoir è stato uno degli interpreti più convinti e spontanei del movimento Impressionista.
Artista prodigiosamente prolifico, con all'attivo ben cinquemila tele e un numero altrettanto cospicuo di disegni e acquerelli, Renoir si è distinto anche per la sua poliedricità, tanto che possiamo distinguere numerosi periodi nella sua produzione pittorica.

È lo stesso Renoir, in ogni caso, a parlare del suo metodo di fare arte:

«Dispongo il mio soggetto come voglio, poi mi metto a dipingerlo come farebbe un bambino. Voglio che il rosso sia sonoro e squillante come una campana, quando non ci riesco aggiungo altri rossi ed altri colori finché non l'ottengo.

Carolyn Biggio, 1958 | Still life painter


Born in Columbus, Ohio in 1958, Carolyn Biggio grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Her formal schooling earned her a Bachelor of Sciences degree; but she later took up studies in art with Henry Hensche at the Cape School of Art. Other classes with his followers deepened her commitment, and her career path shifted to painting. Ms. Biggio's paintings are pure light and color, primarily of still life. The thick impasto paint is laid on with a palette knife to create intense masses of color; shadows are equally vibrant, creating dimension with brilliant shifts in hue and value, rather than just local color. Ms. Biggio has exhibited her work nationally, receiving numerous awards.

Edward Hopper: "More of me comes out when I improvise"


"What I wanted to do was to paint sunlight on the side of a house".

"After all, we are not French and never can be, and any attempt to be so is to deny our inheritance and to try to impose upon ourselves a character that can be nothing but a veneer upon the surface".
