Pierre-Albert Marquet ed il Fauvismo

Pierre-Albert Marquet (1875-1947) è stato un pittore Francese.

Per poter seguire i corsi della Scuola di arti decorative si trasferì a Parigi; uno dei suoi compagni di studi fu Henri Matisse: i due diventarono amici, abitarono nello stesso palazzo e lavorarono insieme, influenzandosi a vicenda.

Maria Kreyn, 1987 | Romantic painter

Maria Kreyn is an American artist, known for evocative paintings that merge figuration, abstract geometries, and elemental atmospherics.

She studied mathematics and philosophy at the University of Chicago and is self taught in painting.

While drawing polymathic connections between disparate fields, Kreyn’s works are steeped in the western tradition of painting.

She distills these references into a personal vocabulary of forms and geometries that result in hybrid compositions situated at the intersection of formalism and Romantic painting.

Paul Madeline | Post-Impressionist painter

Paul Madeline (1863-1920) was born in Paris on the 7th of October 1863.

As he was a student at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he was working in a publishing house to earn some money for living and painted urban landscapes in his spare time.

In 1894, he discovered la Creuse, a charming countryside in the Limousin. It encouraged him to visit it more frequently to paint his landscapes en pleine-air.

Thomas Bossard, 1971 | Fantasy painter

Thomas Bossard, painter in oil, born in Poitiers, France, studied art at Saint Luc School, Belgium.

This young artist has a very deep understanding of human nature.

Prior to becoming a professional artist Thomas worked with the theatre, creating and putting together stage sets for plays and opera, and he has also been a porcelain artist at Limoges (France).
