James Tissot | A visit to the yacht, c. 1873

James-Joseph-Jacques Tissot (1836-1902) arrived in London in the summer of 1871 and almost from the first he was drawn to the river Thames as a subject for his elegant paintings.
Perhaps the water and the associated sounds and sights of the bustling docks reminded him of his childhood in the seaport of Nantes, or maybe he realised that painting life at the edge of the river opened a wealth of subjects for him to explore and attract a new audience.

Pablo Picasso | Portraits

The total number of artworks Picasso produced has been estimated at 50.000, comprising 1.885 paintings, 1.228 sculptures, 2.880 ceramics, roughly 12.000 drawings, many thousands of prints, and numerous tapestries and rugs.
At the time of his death many of his paintings were in his possession, as he had kept off the art market what he did not need to sell.
In addition, Picasso had a considerable collection of the work of other famous artists, some his contemporaries, such as Henri Matisse, with whom he had exchanged works. Since Pablo Picasso left no will, his death duties to the French state were paid in the form of his works and others from his collection.
These works form the core of the immense and representative collection of the Musée Picasso in Paris. In 2003, relatives of Picasso inaugurated a museum dedicated to him in his birthplace, Málaga, Spain, the Museo Picasso Málaga.

Maggie Vandewalle è nata e cresciuta appena fuori Iowa City, Iowa, in un ambiente rurale.
Da bambina divideva il suo tempo tra campi e boschi vaganti, perlustrando la biblioteca pubblica alla ricerca di buoni libri e scarabocchiando per sempre.
Ha ricevuto una borsa di studio d'arte presso l'Università dell'Iowa nel 1981, dove ha lavorato per un BFA in incisione sotto Virginia Myers.
Dopo la scuola si è dedicata alla pittura, in parte a causa del costo delle attrezzature per la stampa, ma anche per soddisfare il desiderio di risultati più immediati.

Luisa Villavicencio: "Dipingo perché voglio chiedere a tutti di essere persone migliori, più espressione di sentimento e comprensione.
L'amore è molto importante nella vita di ogni essere umano.
I miei colori sono intimamente legati alla forma, perché i miei colori dicono quello che sento.
La mia arte cerca la bellezza nella composizione, espressione del gesto, armonia e proporzione, degli elementi estetici".

Matthias Grünewald (German Renaissance painter, 1470-1528)

Matthias+Gr%25C3%25BCnewald+-+Tutt%2527Art%2540+%252868%2529

Matthias Grünewald was a German Renaissance painter of religious works who ignored Renaissance classicism to continue the style of late medieval Central European art into the 16th century.
His first name is also given as Mathis and his surname as Gothart or Neithardt. Only ten paintings—several consisting of many panels—and thirty-five drawings survive, all religious, although many others were lost at sea in the Baltic on their way to Sweden as war booty.
His present worldwide reputation, however, is based chiefly on his greatest masterpiece, the "Isenheim Altarpiece" c.1513-15, which was long believed to have been painted by Dürer. Grünewald grew up in Würzburg near Nuremberg, and from 1501-1521 he was proprietor of a workshop in Seligenstadt.
