In 1874, after having taken drawing lessons from a local Swiss artist, Eduard Pfyffer (1836-1899), Breslau knew that she would have to leave Switzerland if she wanted to realize her dream of seriously studying art.

Joan Miró | Surrealist painter

Joan Miró i Ferrà (1893-1983) was a Spanish painter, sculptor and ceramicist born in Barcelona.

Earning international acclaim, his work has been interpreted as Surrealism, a sandbox for the subconscious mind, a re-creation of the childlike, and a manifestation of Catalan pride.

In numerous interviews dating from the 1930s onwards, Miró expressed contempt for conventional painting methods as a way of supporting bourgeois society, and famously declared an "assassination of painting" in favour of upsetting the visual elements of established painting.

Henry Lerolle (1848-1929)

Henry Lerolle was a French painter🎨, art collector and patron, born in Paris. He studied at Académie Suisse and in the studio of Louis Lamothe.

In 1889 Lerolle painted the murals "The Crowning of Science" and "The Teaching of Science" in the Hôtel de Ville, Paris.

Fred Calleri, 1964 | Romantic Figurative painter

Fred Calleri’s experience at The Maryland Institute College of Art 1988-1993 was a watershed event artistically.

The excellent training he received opened the window to all fields of art.

Ironically, Fred took one painting class in college and only became seriously interested in professionally painting after the birth of his son in 1997.

After an extensive period in Graphic Design and Marketing, Calleri decided to move to Flagstaff and take advantage of the history, scenery, people and especially the astounding light offered in the western regions of the U.S.A recent move has brought Calleri to Santa Barbara, CA.
