Georges de Feure was a French painter, theatrical designer, and industrial art designer in the symbolism and Art Nouveau styles. He was born in Paris. His father was an affluent Dutch architect, and his mother was Belgian.
In 1886, de Feure was one of the eleven students admitted at the Rijkscademie voor Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam, which he did however leave very quickly for Paris since he felt that formal academic training had nothing to offer him. He was however, influenced by Jules Chéret in his posters for the café concert but most likely was never his pupil. He became the key designer of Siegfried Bing for L'Art Nouveau.
He showed work in the Exposition Universelle de Paris exhibition in 1900. He designed furniture, worked for newspapers, created theater designs for Le Chat Noir cabaret and posters. In August 1901, de Feure was nominated Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur for his contribution to the decorative arts. He died in poverty at the age of 75 in Paris.

- Emil Bisttram Taos School Transcendental Painter Abstract WatercolorBy James Emil BisttramLocated in Phoenix, AZOutstanding abstract watercolor by Emil Bisttram signed lower right. Painting measures: 20 x 15 inches. Frame size: 27 3/4"h x 23 1/4"w. In excellent condition and beautifully framed. Born in Hungary Emil James Bisttram (1895-1976), studied at the National Academy of Design, Cooper Union and the New York School of Fine and Applied Art in New York City. He later became an instructor at the New York School. In 1930, Bisttram visited Taos, New Mexico for the first time, but found he was blocked from painting by the “grandeur of the scenery and the limitless space.” Instead, he went to Mexico to study fresco painting with Diego Rivera, becoming influenced by the strong realism and sculptured surfaces. One year later, Bisttram returned to Taos, and established the Taos School of Art. His work at the time remained realistic. In the mid-1930s, Bisttram painted under the WPA. By 1938 he founded the Transcendental movement in New Mexico as he turned toward non-objectivity, where paintings were composed of universal, rather than physical, forms. Bisttram did not limit himself to a non-objective style, however, but also painted realistic subjects. Known as a modern Taos painter...Category
