Joan Gardy Artigas
Joan Gardy Artigas is a Catalan ceramist, artist and was a close collaborator with Joan Miró. Artigas was born on June 18th, 1938 in Boulogne-Billancourt (near Paris) and his father was Josep Llorens i Artigas, who worked closely with Miró and Pablo Picasso. Artigas was able to work for Miró while still a teenager because of his father's relationship with Miró. Artigas trained at the École des beaux-arts in Paris, where he met the Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti. Artigas established his studio, and at Giacometti's suggestion, he concentrated on sculpture. Artigas had some success and shared his expertise with the Cubists Georges Braque and Marc Chagall. When Artigas created the 7,200 tiles for the Miró Wall, he coloured the tiles based on an image that Miró had created. Artigas later returned to assisting Miró when his father decided to retire. His father had worked with Miró for 20 years, creating large murals including examples for UNESCO, IBM and the Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos in Madrid.
Artigas worked with Miró on, Dona i Ocell, one of his last large works, which was covered in broken tiles by Artigas. In this case, the tiles remind the viewer of Gaudi's work. In 1982, Antoni Tàpies won the Gold Medal of Catalonia for a mosaic in the Plaça de Catalunya in Sant Boi de Llobregat. Artigas had constructed the ceramics for this prize-winning exhibit. Artigas continued his art, and he was awarded his first solo exhibition in America in 1982. He has been a visiting artist at two American universities and has started a foundation to celebrate his father's work. Artigas serves on the board of the foundation Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona.

- "Back Cover of "Chagall Lithographe III, " M 577, " an Original Color LithographBy Marc ChagallLocated in Milwaukee, WIThis is the back cover of "Chagall Lithographe III," M 577". It is an original Lithograph by Marc Chagall. This print is a glorious black and red bouquet, most of the foliage is shown by black leaves and stems where as the flowers and blooms are red. Also on the top right one can see a tiny red bird. Image: 12.5 x 10 in Frame: 25.5 x 21.5 in Marc Chagall was born in Liozno, near Vitebsk, now in Belarus. The eldest of nine children in a close-knit Jewish family. His father Khatskl (Zakhar) Shagal, a herring merchant, and his mother, Feige-Ite. This period of his life, described as happy though impoverished, appears in references throughout Chagall's work. The family home on Pokrovskaya Street is now the Marc Chagall Museum. He began studying painting in 1906 with a local artist, Yehuda Pen. In 1907, he moved to St. Petersburg. There he joined the school of the Society of Art Supporters and studied under Nikolai Roerich. It was here that he was exposed to experimental theater and the work of such artists as Gauguin. From 1908-1910 Chagall studied under Leon Bakst at the Zvantseva School of Drawing and Painting. This was a difficult period for Chagall; at the time, Jewish residents were only allowed to live in St. Petersburg with a permit, and the artist was jailed for a brief period for an infringement of this restriction. Despite this, Chagall remained in St. Petersburg until 1910, and regularly visited his home town where, in 1909, he met his future wife, Bella Rosenfeld. After gaining a reputation as an artist, Chagall left St. Petersburg to settle in Paris to be near the burgeoning art community in the Montparnasse district, where he developed friendships with such avant-garde luminaries as Guillaume Apollinaire, Robert Delaunay, and Fernand Léger. In 1914, he returned to Vitebsk and, a year later, married his fiancée, Bella. While in Russia, World War I erupted and, in 1916, the Chagalls had their first child, a daughter named Ida. Chagall became an active participant in the Russian Revolution of 1917. Although the Soviet Ministry of Culture made him a Commissar of Art for the Vitebsk region, where he founded Vitebsk Museum of Modern Art and an art school, he did not fare well politically under the Soviet system. "Chagall was considered a non-person by the Soviets because he was Jewish and a painter whose work did not celebrate the heroics of the Soviet people."[6] He and his wife moved back to Paris in 1922. During this period, Chagall wrote articles, poetry and his memoirs (in Yiddish,) which were published mainly in newspapers (and only posthumously in book-form). Chagall became a French citizen in 1937. With the Nazi occupation of France during World War II and the deportation of Jews, the Chagalls fled Paris, seeking asylum at Villa Air-Bel in Marseille, where the American journalist Varian Fry assisted in their escape from France through Spain and Portugal. In 1941, the Chagalls settled in the United States where he lived until 1948 (his wife Bella died in 1944.) His wife Bella, who appears in many of his paintings, bore him one child, Ida and then died on September 2, 1944. Bella and Ida appeared in many of his early and most famous paintings. In 1945, he began a relationship with his housekeeper Virginia Haggard McNeil, with whom he had a son, David. In the 1950s, they moved to a villa in Provence. Virginia left him in 1952, and Chagall married Valentina Brodsky (whom he called "Vava"). Jewish influence: Chagall had a complex relationship with Judaism. On the one hand, he credited his Russian Jewish cultural background as being crucial to his artistic imagination. But however ambivalent he was about his religion, he could not avoid drawing upon his Jewish past for artistic material. As an adult, he was not a practicing Jew, but through his paintings and stained glass, he continually tried to suggest a more "universal message," using both Jewish and Christian themes...Category
