Paul Klee (Swiss-born German painter, 1879-1940)

Klee has been variously associated with expressionism, cubism, futurism, surrealism, and abstraction, but his pictures are difficult to classify.

He generally worked in isolation from his peers, and interpreted new art trends in his own way.

He was inventive in his methods and technique.

Klee worked in many different media-oil paint, watercolor, ink, pastel, etching, and others.

Zoe Bradley, l'artista di carta

L'artista pluripremiata Zoe Bradley ha scoperto il suo amore per la carta durante la realizzazione di capi sperimentali plissettati a mano per la sfilata A/I 2005 della stilista giapponese Michiko Koshino.

Stava usando la carta come materiale che si è rivelato un momento cruciale nella sua carriera. L'artista esperto di moda aveva lavorato come apprendista con il defunto Alexander McQueen nel 1997, creando alcuni dei pezzi chiave per la sua sfilata prêt-à-porter P/E del 1999, tra cui il corsetto e le gonne a ventaglio in legno punzonato che catturano i titoli dei giornali, così come le gambe protesiche indossate da Aimee Mullins.

In October, 1888 Gauguin arrived in Aries and moved in with Van Gogh, who was beside himself with excitement and dream of starting if not an artists' colony, at the very least a shared studio. Van Gogh had met Gauguin two gears previously and was in awe of the slightly older artist, whose own opinion of himself was greatly inflated.

The stay ended in disaster culminating in Van Gogh's self-mutilation, but prior to this the two artists had worked on similar projects, and Gauguin's influence can be seen on Van Gogh's paintings of this time.

Marcel Nino Pajot, 1945

Since he was a child, Nino Pajot developed his skills for drawing.

It is a gift from his mother, Reine Pajot-Védry, she was born in Vergt as well.

She is an artist who made remarkable sculptures.

As a self-taught artist, Pajot did enhance his abilities for painting rubbing shoulders with other artists.

Rabindranath Tagore: È finita la notte..

È finita la notte.

Spegni la lampada fumante

nell’angolo della stanza.

Sul cielo d’oriente

è fiorita la luce dell’universo:

è un giorno lieto.
