Anna Kincaide | Fashion painter

The works of American artist🎨 Anna Kincaide are a gateway to a world that is at once fantastical and familiar, inspired by fashion, photography, as well as elements of the decorative arts.

Juxtaposing control and spontaneous disruption, Kincaide emphasizes the hidden, internal landscape of the figures she portrays.

Kincaide's references to history and fashion are clear.

In her works we are reminded of the extravagant heights of Marie Antoinette's famous coiffure, which reached greater and greater heights in 18th century France, the iconic headdress of Egyptian queen Nefertiti🎨, the famous French Hood of Anne Boleyn, and the modest Spanish style one of Catherine of Aragon.

Vladimir Mukhin, 1971

Armand Guillaumin | Figure painting

Born Jean-Baptiste Armand Guillaumin (1841-1927) in Paris, he worked at his uncle's lingerie shop while attending evening drawing lessons.

He also worked for a French government railway before studying at the Académie Suisse in 1861.

There, he met Paul Cézanne🎨 and Camille Pissarro🎨 with whom he maintained lifelong friendships. While he never achieved the stature of these two, his influence on their work was significant.

Claude Emile Schuffenecker (1851-1934)

Émile Schuffenecker was a French🎨 Post-Impressionist artist, painter, art teacher and art collector.

A friend of Paul Gauguin🎨 and Odilon Redon🎨, and one of the first collectors of works by Vincent van Gogh🎨, Schuffenecker was instrumental in establishing The Volpini exhibition, in 1889.

His own work, however, tends to have been neglected since his death - and even worse, recent season campaigns in the media have reactivated resentments virulent since the late 1920s, when Schuffenecker was suspected to have imitated the work of other contemporary artists, among them, Van Gogh.
