Daniel Sprick, 1953 | Figurative painter

American painter Daniel Sprick was born in Little Rock, Arkansas and studied at the Ramon Froman School of Art, the National Academy of Design in New York City, as well as the University of Northern Colorado where he received his BA in 1978.

Daniel Sprick’s life long love of drawing and technical mastery of painting began with his fascination of drawing at the age of four. Well educated in the pictorial tradition of art history, Sprick’s influences reach back to Northern European masters such as Robert Campin and Roger van der Weyden admiring their ability to render a convincing look at invisible realms and otherworldly occurrences.

Gaston Cariot | Neo-Impressionist painter

The painter Gustave Camille Gaston Cariot🎨 (1872-1950) was born in Paris in the Marais district.

His father was a luggage maker. Very young, Cariot drew sketches of Paris and the surrounding countryside.

The artist was strongly influenced by the work of Claude Monet🎨, his series of 1890-1891 and his views of the Cathedral of Rouen🎨, as well as by the technique of pointillist and divisionist🎨 painters.

Eugene Boudin | Impressionist painter

Eugène Boudin, (born July 12, 1824, Honfleur, France - died August 8, 1898, Deauville), one of the first French landscape painters to paint in the open air, directly from nature.

His many beach scenes directly link the carefully observed naturalism of the early 19th century and the brilliant light and fluid brushwork of late 19th-century Impressionism.

Charles Camoin | Fauve painter

Charles Camoin (23 September 1879 - 20 May 1965) was a French painter associated with the Fauves.

Born in Marseille, France, Camoin met Henri Matisse in Gustave Moreau's class at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris.

Matisse and his friends (including Camoin, Henri Manguin, Albert Marquet, Georges Rouault, André Derain and Maurice de Vlaminck), formed the original group of artists labeled the Fauves (meaning "the wild beasts") for their wild, Expressionist-like use of color.

Gustave Loiseau | The historiographer of the Seine

Gustave Loiseau (3 October 1865 - 10 October 1935) was a French Post-Impressionist painter, remembered above all for his landscapes and scenes of Paris streets.

Loiseau's paintings, revealing his passion for the seasons from the beginning of spring to the harvests later in the autumn, often depict the same orchard or garden scene as time goes by.

Series of this kind, which also include cliffs, harbours or churches, are reminiscent of Claude Monet.
