Van Gogh: "I call myself a peasant painter"
"When I call myself a peasant painter, that is a real fact, and it will become more and more clear to you in the future, I feel at home there" - Quote of Vincent, Summer 1885

Charmaine Olivia, 1988 | Abstract painter / illustrator
Charmaine Olivia is a self-taught fine artist from southern California. She was raised by spiritual parents who began teaching her in yoga and meditation since she was four. She began painting when she was 7 and started working as a professional artist at the age of 17.
Spirituality, mysticism and mythology are strong influences in her work and in her life.
Charmaine is aware that there is more to this physical world that we can see with our eyes, so she uses painting as a means to explore the other dimensions of mind and thought.

Marc Chagall | Le Cirque series
Marc Chagall🎨: "For me a circus is a magic show that appears and disappears like a world.
A circus is disturbing. It is profound These clowns, bareback riders and acrobats have themselves at home in my visions.
Why? Why am I so touched by their make-up and their grimaces?
With them I can move toward new horizons. Lured by their colors and make-up, I can dream of painting new psychic distortions. It is a magic word, circus, a timeless dancing game where tears and smiles, the play of arms and legs take the form of a great art"!

Marc Chagall | Le Cirque
Marc Chagall’s fascination with the circus began at a young age, when travelling acrobats, dancers and musicians visited his hometown of Vitebsk in pre-revolutionary Russia.
In his later years in Paris, the artist regularly attended the Cirque d'Hiver with the art dealer and publisher Ambroise Vollard.
Vollard encouraged the pastime in the hope that Chagall would be inspired to create an illustrated book on the subject.
Though following Vollard's suggestion the artist completed a series of gouache studies on the theme of the circus in the late 1920s, several decades passed before he completed the book, which was ultimately published by Editions Tériade in 1967.
'The result', Chagall's master printer and collaborator, Charles Sorlier describes, is 'an outstanding set of plates'.
Indeed, the subject of the circus complied perfectly with the great modernist’s most celebrated traits - in these images Chagall’s brushwork is uncontrived, his colouring vibrant, and his imagery whimsical, singular and exuberant. | © Sotheby's
"Per me il circo è uno spettacolo magico che passa e scompare come un mondo. I clown, le cavallerizze, gli acrobati fanno parte del mio immaginario perché i loro colori e le loro maschere mi trasportano verso altre deformazioni psichiche che sogno di dipingere" - Marc Chagall (1887-1985)
