Camille Pissarro | Jeanne Pissarro (Minette) holding a Fan, 1873

Jeanne-Rachel, known as Minette, was born in 1865 and died at Pontoise on 6 April 1874.

She was a sickly child and treated by Dr Paul Gachet.

In this portrait, painted when she was eight, the subdued colouring and tentative handling give an added intimacy to the scene.

She holds a Japanese fan, reflecting her father's increasing interest in Japanese art.

Il mondo Surreale dell'artista Catherine Alexandre

Catherine Alexandre trae ispirazione dalla natura, ma anche dalla città e dall'architettura per dare vita alle sue creazioni.

La Alexandre è un'artista con sede in Francia le cui opere viaggiano oscillano tra il realismo ed il sogno, con un pizzico di simbolismo, un tocco di umorismo ed un tocco di ottimismo.

In ognuno dei suoi pezzi, mette una piccola chiave nascosta.

Alexandre è influenzata dalle opere di Leonardo da Vinci, Preraffaelliti, Klimt e Magritte, tra gli altri.

Crea esclusivamente utilizzando oli su tela.
