Paul Guy Gantner 1948 ~ Landscape painter

Gantner is a self-taught artist. His passion for the Impressionists and the Post-Impressionists was responsible for his move to France.This allowed him to freely study their work and to explore their universe. The majority of Gantner's paintings are set in Provence and the Midi.
The artist's fascination with quaint mountain villages with their narrow, winding streets becomes a perfect vehicle for the true subject of his work's solitude. Gantner's paintings are visual records of absence. This theme is reinforced through the artist's use of confined luminous and shadowed spaces that are defined and contained by vertical walls of stone. Even when the painting is not of a narrow village street, solitude and absence are still present.

Franco Puliti, 1945

After completing art school in Lucca, Tuscany, he immersed himself in the new generation of artists, post-Macchiaioli Toscani, the Italian equivalent of French Impressionists. In the late 1960’s, he opened a studio in Livorno, Italy where he had permanent exposition until the mid- 1970’s.  He moved to the United States in 1980, continuing his art career and showing his work from coast to coast.  The careful geometric design and harmonious distribution of color throughout his work reflect his excellent artistic schooling and passion for his craft.

Rembrandt | Periods, themes and styles

Throughout his career, Rembrandt (1606-1669) took as his primary subjects the themes of portraiture, landscape and narrative painting. For the last, he was especially praised by his contemporaries, who extolled him as a masterly interpreter of biblical stories for his skill in representing emotions and attention to detail.

Stylistically, his paintings progressed from the early "smooth" manner, characterized by fine technique in the portrayal of illusionistic form, to the late "rough" treatment of richly variegated paint surfaces, which allowed for an illusionism of form suggested by the tactile quality of the paint itself.
