Karen Dupré

La californiana Karen Dupré è un'artista autodidatta il cui primo l'ispirazione derivava dal suo interesse per i cavalli.

Questo fascino l'ha portata rapidamente a tradurre lo splendore di questi animali e di altri animali selvatici attraverso il disegno.

All'età di nove anni, Dupré iniziò a lavorare con i pastelli, che presto progredì nell'uso di altri mezzi, principalmente colori acrilici.

Da quando nei suoi primi anni come artista, Dupré ha ampliato il suo repertorio includendolo paesaggi, immagini di nature morte e figure, senza mai abbandonare il fauna selvatica che per prima ha acceso la sua immaginazione.

Childe Hassam | Rainy Day, Boston, 1885

"I am never tired of observing [people] in every-day life…. Humanity in motion is a constant study to me" - Childe Hassam.

From Toledo Museum of Art:

In "Rainy Day, Boston" Childe Hassam chose a thoroughly modern subject: the wide avenues and new brick row houses of Boston’s fashionable South End at the intersection of Columbus Avenue (on the left) and Appleton Street.

Hassam, who lived at the time on Columbus Avenue, explained that his street "was all paved in asphalt, and I used to think it very pretty when it was wet and shining, and caught the reflections of passing people and vehicles".

Modern, too, was the unusual use of empty space in the center foreground of the painting.

Edvard Munch | Legacy / Eredità

When a norwegian Symbolist painter Edvard Munch (1863-1944)died, his remaining works were bequeathed to the city of Oslo, which built the Munch Museum at Tøyen (it opened in 1963).

The museum holds a collection of approximately 1,100 paintings, 4,500 drawings, and 18,000 prints, the broadest collection of his works in the world.

The Munch Museum serves as Munch's official estate; it has been active in responding to copyright infringements as well as clearing copyright for the work, such as the appearance of Munch's The Scream in a 2006 M and M's advertising campaign.

The U.S. copyright representative for the Munch Museum and the Estate of Edvard Munch is the Artists Rights Society.

Munch's art was highly personalized and he did little teaching. His "private" symbolism was far more personal than that of other Symbolist painters such as Gustave Moreau and James Ensor.
