William-Adolphe Bouguereau | The Mimosa Flower, 1899

In February 1899, the French🎨 painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905)🎨 and his wife travelled with their son Paul to Menton, a small town on the French Riviera.

The journey was on the advice of Paul's doctors, who hoped the sea air would improve his recently diagnosed tuberculosis.

Paul (then 30) left behind his law practice, and Bouguereau put his painting aside as they settled into the elegant Hôtel des Îles Britanniques.

Though initially planned to last a month, the trip was extended week by week, and Bouguereau grew anxious to paint, writing to a friend "I finally found a room on the north side of the hotel and a few little models, and set to work" (as quoted from a letter dated March 1, 1899 in Bartoli, p. 394).

Some paintings were also made in other Rocky Mountain states, the Pacific Northwest and Canada, and a few in Louisiana, the East Coast and Europe.

Adams was born in Franklin, Massachusetts; his family moved to Denver in 1876. In 1877 he began work in the Chain and Hardy bookstore in Denver, and received lessons from Helen Henderson Chain, an artist who had studied with George Inness🎨.

He had his first local exhibition in 1880, and was showing at the Royal Academy (R.A.) by the age of 29.

He is mainly recognized for his romantic garden scenes, although his style was so eclectic throughout his career that it is hard to believe that the same artist created all of his paintings.

Salvador Dalì | Gli Autoritratti

Salvador Dalì iniziò molto presto a dipingere autoritratti.

In quelli realizzati durante l'adolescenza, Dalí si rappresenta con un atteggiamento distante nei confronti dei suoi compagni, ma allo stesso tempo desideroso di incidere su di loro (o provocarli) e sul pubblico in generale.
