A selection of newly acquired works by major nineteenth and twentieth century artists.
Murtic's abstraction was thus not, in his own words, born in his head, but has its roots in these landscapes. A restricted world, basically, which has however served as a stimulus to bring to the surface the enormous universe of his creativity. by Maria Masau Dan
Alfredo Muller's etchings, portraits of actresses, landscapes, and scenes of Paris are rich with spontaneity and show the ease with which he uses color. Muller had remarkable success as a graphic artist. He illustrated a volume of the Divine Comedy by Dante. For Meyer-Graefe's Germinal, Muller contributed an etching, along with such greats as Renoir and Steinlen.
Bruno Zupan is the rare artist who excels in evoking light and atmosphere as well as a tactile feeling in his paintings through the use of color and pigment to create images and surfaces that fascinate the viewer. The same can be said about his Watercolors which have become a medium that the artist has used more and more often. Substituting the texture of the pigment, he uses fibrous papers that imitate the wonderful impasto he achieves with the brush. As the watercolor pigment is absorbed by the paper, new nuances which can be entirely unexpected and are absolutely delightful to view, are achieved one assumes, quite accidentally. The Gallery is pleased to present these Watercolors which are a joy to behold.
In her latest -- the Balancing Act series -- Pasin Sloan returns to her traditional subjects -- and a beautiful chaos is manifested. Typical Pasin Sloan still-life objects are stacked upon one another on tables in gravity and reality defying feats of plastic acrobatics.
Born in Paris, he started his professional career as an actor, but took up painting and studied at the studio of Gerome, exhibiting at the Salon in 1870. He is known as a painter of town and city-scapes, and pictures of ordinary people doing routine things (genre paintings). He worked in many media, including engraving, sculpture, and lithography.
"Nonconformist artists are emerging who have elected to continue building on artistic tradition in a highly personal manner, both from a technological point of view and by making a conscience choice of the visible reality as the point of departure for their work. And one of those artists is Erik Desmazieres." excerpt from de Heer and Bob van den Boogert
