Henri Fantin-Latour: "Credo che le scuole ed i movimenti artistici siano passati"..

"Never have I had more ideas about Art in my head, and yet I am forced to do flowers.

While painting them - standing before the peonies and roses - I think of Michelangelo. This cannot go on".

"Non ho mai avuto più idee sull'arte nella mia testa, eppure sono costretto a fare fiori.

Mentre li dipingo, davanti alle peonie e alle rose, penso a Michelangelo. Cosi non può andare avanti".

William Powell Frith (British painter, 1819-1909)

William Powell Frith was an British painter, specializing in genre subjects and panoramic narrative works of life in the Victorian Era.

He was elected to the Royal Academy in 1852.

He has been described as the "greatest British painter of the social scene since Hogarth".

Frith was born in Aldfield, a village in North Yorkshire. His father was the house steward at Studley Royal. However, he soon moved on to become a hotel manager in Harrogate.

The young William's artistic talent caught his father's attention and it was he who encouraged the boy. At 16 years of age Frith found himself down in London at the Sass Academy and in three years he gained a place at none other than the Royal Academy.

Brian McCarthy (Irish painter, 1960)

"I was born in Dublin and as a child loved nothing more than drawing and painting. In 1976 I started selling my paintings in local galleries.

While I attended art college (1977-80), I found the pervasive avant garde ethos and the lack of technical training in painting very d...isappointing.

Like many other artists, I've learned my craft from what I consider to be the best sources - the great artists of the past. From a young age I read books about them and visited museums and galleries whenever I could.

I have always worked exclusively in oils, producing an average of about twenty five paintings a year. Irish exhibitions include 'The Living Art' at the Douglas Hyde Gallery (1981), several annual shows at the Royal Hibernian Academy, and the Oireachtas Art Exhibition as well as many group shows in commercial galleries both in Ireland and London.
