Jules-Joseph Lefebvre🎨 (French painter, 1836-1912) Graziella
"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I'll meet you there..
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about"!
René Magritte (1898-1967)
René Magritte, in full René-François Ghislain Magritte, Belgian Surrealist artist, one of the most prominent Surrealist painters, whose bizarre flights of fancy blended horror, peril, comedy and mystery.
His works were characterized by particular symbols - the female torso, the bourgeois “little man”, the bowler hat, the castle, the rock, the window, and others.
Two museums in Brussels celebrate Magritte: the René Magritte Museum, largely a biographical museum, is located in the house occupied by the artist and his wife between 1930-1954; and the Magritte Museum, featuring some 250 of the artist’s works, opened in 2009 at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts.

Rene Magritte (Belgian Surrealist painter, 1898-1967) | Les Amants / The Lovers
• "..No one can do a thing about feelings, they exist and there's no way to censor them. We can reproach ourselves for some action, for a remark, but not for a feeling, quite simply because we have no control at all over it".
• "Contro i sentimenti siamo disarmati, poiché esistono e basta - e sfuggono a qualunque censura. Possiamo rimproverarci un gesto, una frase, ma non un sentimento: su di esso non abbiamo alcun potere".
Bertha Wegmann (1847-1926)
Ritrattista Danese di origini Tedesche, Bertha Wegmann è stata la prima donna a detenere una cattedra presso l'Accademia reale Danese di belle arti.
All'età di cinque anni, la sua famiglia si trasferì a Copenaghen, dove suo padre divenne un commerciante.
Era un amante dell'arte e ha trascorso gran parte del suo tempo libero a dipingere.
Ha mostrato interesse per il disegno in tenera età, ma non ha ricevuto istruzione formale fino a quando aveva diciannove anni, quando iniziò a prendere lezioni da Frederik Ferdinand Helsted, Heinrich Buntzen e Frederik Christian Lund.
Alexander Pushkin / Camille Claudel | I loved you / Ti amai..
Camille Claudel (1864-1943)🎨 | La Valse, 1883 | Musée Rodin, Paris
I loved you: and, it may be, from my soul
The former love has never gone away,
But let it not recall to you my dole;
I wish not sadden you in any way.
Camille Corot at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
Camille Corot (1796-1875) was a leading figure in the Barbizon school🎨 of France in the mid-nineteenth century. He is a pivotal figure in landscape painting and his vast output simultaneously references the Neo-Classical tradition and anticipates the plein-air innovations of Impressionism.
Peter McGowan | Flower paintings
Peter McGowan was born and raised in Yorkshire, England and still makes his home there.
He paints from his studio in the county that has inspired many great artists, including Henry Moore and David Hockney.
Light and its effects fascinate McGowan.
He works in several media, including oils, acrylics, watercolours and pastels, to translate this interest to paper and canvas.
