Georgia O'Keeffe | Abstract painter

For several decades Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) was a major figure in American art who, remarkably, maintained her independence from shifting artistic trends.

She painted prolifically, and almost exclusively, the flowers, animal bones, and landscapes around her studios in Lake George, New York and New Mexico, and these subjects became her signature images.

She remained true to her own unique artistic vision and created a highly individual style of painting, which synthesized the formal language of modern European abstraction and the subjects of traditional American pictorialism.

It’s Carnival time ~ The history of celebration

Il nome Carnevale deriva dal latino carnem levare, togliere la carne, privazione della carne, ha un origine altomedievale che designa il giorno o i giorni che precedono il principale periodo di penitenza previsto dal cristianesimo: la quaresima. Data l'eminenza di un cosi' lungo periodo di privazioni, che investono tutti i campi, quello alimentare, sessuale, giochi, diventa presto un periodo di durata variabile, da pochi giorni a molte settimane fra gennaio e marzo. In questo periodo si cerca di esaltare tutto cio' che in quaresima non sarà piu' possibile fare: abbondanza alimentare, sospensione di una serie di divieti, in alcuni casi violenza gratuita contro terzi.

Vadim Suljakov 1960 | Urban landscape painter

Вадим Суляков was born in the cultural center of Moscow. His parents gave him an excellent home education and he began painting at the age of seven. He continued with Russia's most rigid and traditional art education. The schools were very strict and difficult, and only a few were chosen to go on to the next level.

Morgan Weistling, 1964 | Romantic painter

Morgan studied art at an early age with his father, a former art student. His parents both met at art school. His father, Howard, a POW in Germany, entertained his fellow American prisoners in Stalag 1 with a daily comic strip that he created and drew to keep morale up. Drawn on scraps of paper found on the prison grounds, he crafted a humorous world of characters that managed to bring a smile to imprisoned soldiers. In the last days of the war and feeling the Russians would be coming, his talents with painting saved his life. Using some paints supplied by the Geneva Convention, he painted a American Flag on the shoulder of his prisoner uniform so that the Russians invading Germany would identify him and not shoot him. It worked.
