Philippe Augé, 1935 | Surrealist painter

With unusually high praise from the modern master, George Braque, the young French artist Philippe Augé embarked on a painting career which, since the 1950’s has catapulted him into a meaningful position in the contemporary art arena.

Braque’s assessment represents the quintessence of all the qualities associated with Augé’s work today.

Recognized primarily for his delicately balanced figures and lush still lifes, his paintings vibrate with a gamut of rich color which recalls instantly the panoply of Renaissance painting.

Giuliano Grittini, 1951 | Photographer / Pop Art painter

Alda Merini / Camille Claudel | Smile woman / Sorridi donna

Camille Claudel | The Mature Age, 1913 (detail) | Claudel room at the Musée Rodin in Paris

Sorridi donna

sorridi sempre alla vita

anche se lei non ti sorride

Sorridi agli amori finiti

sorridi ai tuoi dolori

Alda Merini /Anne-Christine Roda | A tutte le donne!

Fragile, opulenta donna, matrice del paradiso

sei un granello di colpa

anche agli occhi di Dio

malgrado le tue sante guerre

per l'emancipazione.
