Ernesto Garcia Pena, 1949 | Abstract painter

Painter, drawer and engraver, Ernesto Garcia Peña has a natural tendency towards fantasy and hedonism, where he ingrains his artworks with a perceptible chromatic gradation of musical notes to express his feelings and emotions towards sensual subjects.

The fine drawing, the explosion of greens and blues, the delicate transparencies, all bestow a voluptuous sensuality to his obsessive search for beauty.

Plant motifs, with an evanescent lightness, create a dreamlike atmosphere that the artist controls at will to tone down or emphasize the eroticism of his enigmatic women or the mating of his levitating couples.

He studied art at the Instituto Superior de Arte. His paintings are part of the collection of Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Cuba, Museo de Arte Memorial América Latina, Brasil, Museo de Arte Moderno Miskolc, Hungría and Museo de Arte de Las Américas, Nicaragua.

Charles Warren Eaton | Tonalist landscapes painter

Charles Warren Eaton (1857-1937) was an American artist best known for his Tonalist landscapes. He earned the nickname "The pine tree painter" for his numerous depictions of Eastern White Pine trees.
Eaton's entrance into the art world coincided with a profound change in the prevailing artistic style in America. In the late 1870s the highly realistic and detailed Hudson River School manner, which had dominated the American art scene for over forty years, was giving way to a much looser, moodier style that younger artists were bringing home from Europe. This new style, which would later come to be known as Tonalism, emphasized low-key colors and tended to depict intimate settings rather than scenes of grandeur. Eaton adopted this new style in New York and became friends with two other Tonalist artists, Leonard Ochtman and Ben Foster.

Walter Sickert | The Camden Town Group

Unlike the majority of the Camden Town Group (Group of British Post-Impressionist artists active 1911-1913) - Walter Richard Sickert (1860-1942) was recognised during his own lifetime as an important artist, and in the years since his death has increasingly gained a reputation as one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century British art.

He was universally acknowledged throughout his life as a colourful, charming and fascinating character, a catalyst for progress and modernity, yet someone who remained independent of groups, cliques and categories.
