Gustave Loiseau | 260 artworks | Page 1

French painter Gustave Loiseau is remembered above all for his landscapes and scenes of Paris.

Loiseau's paintings, revealing his passion for the seasons from the beginning of spring to the harvests later in the autumn, often depict the same scene as time goes by.

Series of this kind, which include many different types of landscapes, are reminiscent of Claude Monet.

For biographical notes -in english and italian- and other works by Loiseau see:

Fidel Garcia, 1960 | Dreams of Love

"Art expresses the soul of humanity in our common journey across the ages" - Fidel Garcia

Born in Mexico City, Fidel Garcia is a self-taught painter and creator.

At age seven, Garcia’s artistic ability became apparent to his father, an artist himself, who encouraged and supported his passion for creativity.

He developed an unique international dimensional style that is imaginatively imbued with the visual power of Renaissance artists such as Spanish Baroque master Diego Velazquez, American master John Singer Sargent, French master William Bouguereau, Spanish surreal master Salvador Dali, and Austrian design master Gustav Klimt.

Gustave Loiseau | Paris painting

French painter🎨 Gustave Loiseau (3 October 1865-10 October 1935) was born in Paris into an affluent commercial family.

He was largely self-taught and during his youth he worked with a decorator, painting the outskirts of Paris in his free time.

An inheritance from his grandmother provided him with a certain degree of financial comfort and independence that allowed him to concentrate fully on paining and to move to Montmartre.

Here he met Maxime Maufra, with whom he remained friends for the rest of his life.

He enrolled at the École des Arts Décoratifs for a year, the only training in colour and drawing which he received.

Giorgio Morandi | Modern Still Life painter

Giorgio Morandi (July 20, 1890 - June 18, 1964) was born on July 20, 1890, in Bologna, Italy, one of the oldest and most prestigious University towns in Europe. 

Nearly all his life was spent there working quietly in a modest studio and apartment that he shared with his three sisters. Except for occasional trips to Venice, Florence or Rome for exhibitions of his paintings and etchings, or summer excursions to the village of Grizzana in the Apennine hills above his native city, Morandi scarcely ever left Bologna. 

Antonietta Raphaël | The Roman School

Antonietta Simonovna Raphaël Mafai (1895 - 5 September 1975) was an Italian sculptor and painter of Jewish heritage and Lithuanian birth, who founded the Scuola Romana (Roman School) movement together with her husband Mario Mafai.

She was an artist characterised by a profound anti-academic conviction, also affirmed by her sculptures which, especially after World War II, dominated her output.

They highlighted the tender and vibrant carnality present in stone, with works such as Miriam dormiente (Sleeping Miriam) and Nemesis.
