Masri Hayssam
Masri Hayssam is an Italian Lebanese artist who was born in Tripoli-Lebanon. He moved to Italy in 1990 after experiencing the bloody civil war that lasted fifteen years. He studied architectural design in Lebanon and later studied privately calligraphy. In 1993, he completed his studies at the Art Institute of Florence, specializing in Professional Art, Advertising, and Photography. He also took a course in Drawing, Incision, and History of Art at the Academy of Art Florence. Since finishing his studies, he has worked as a full-time artist in his studio in Florence. Masri Hayssam's works can be divided into different periods and different series of works. His insatiable and agonizing feeling of unexpressed great potential inside of him is not fulfilled by the versatility in his work. He often feels that it needs to explode and express itself in different domains. He is always on the move discovering something artistically new and impressive; something significant with an eye-opening impact on the human psyche; something that does not let monotony and rote repetition take hold of his soul and the flow of his thoughts. Hayssam's solo exhibitions include Mary Tomas Gallery-Dallas, Texas (2016), Artifact gallery-New York (2015), University of Balamand – Faces and Stories-Lebanon (2014), Beirut Arab University- Beirut-Lebanon (2013), Which Gate? Berlin Project 2013 (2013), Galleria Espace D’art-Tripoli-Lebanon (2010), Nes Kulturhus Norway-(Anatomy of Nature Series) (2009), American Art Galleries–Carmel, California (2005), American Art –Carmel Galleries, California (2004), and La chimera ( Metropolitan International Art)- Lecce, Italy (2003). His group exhibitions include Haegeumgang Theme Museum-Yu Kung Art Museum, South Korea (2016), Evoluzione del ritratto-ONART Gallery, Florence, Italy (2015), Neutralism Exhibition-Aurum Museum-Pescara Italy (2015), Artifact gallery-New York (2015), COLOR-Mary Tomas Gallery, Dallas-Texas (2015), and “Mein Fukushima” Gogyoshi Art Project” Die Farberei Gallery-Munich, Germany (2014). Other exhibitions include Art Expo-New York “We are responsible 4 the weather (2014), Visual Art Forum III-LAAPS- Lebanese Artist Ass. Unesco-Beirut (2012), Royal Society of Portrait-Annual Exhibition- Mall Galleries, London (2012), Unicef project “Ricostruire l’infanzia” for Gaza (2012), and I colori dal mondo a Roccella Jonica-Italy (2012). Masri Hayssam has received several awards and nominations, including the First Merit Portrait Society of America for his self-portrait member (2012), Finalist for his self-portrait at Royal Society of Portrait-Mall Gallery-London (2012), Art Contest International Award and Honorable Mention for his painting “Clouds Falling” (2012), Selected in Art Kudos International Art competition (2010), NDU Lebanese Diaspora International competition Notre Dame University-Beirut (2010), and 2°Premio International Arte Laguna Museo Santa Caterina) Treviso Italy (2007). Hayssam's art reflects his multicultural background, blending Middle Eastern and European influences with abstract and figurative elements. His work often explores the relationship between the natural and the artificial, the tangible and the intangible, and the visible and the invisible. Masri Hayssam's artistic journey is a testament to his commitment to self-expression and exploration. He is a master of paintings of the raw human condition.

- "Trunks" Orange Contemporary Expressionist Landscape Abstract by LeviathanBy David LeviathanLocated in Carmel, CADavid Leviathan's "Trunks" is a 39" x 45" contemporary landscape abstract that captures the essence of a forest's heart. The canvas is alive with a rich tapestry of autumnal hues, ranging from deep umbers to fiery oranges and subtle golds. Leviathan's technique gives rise to a textured surface that mimics the rugged bark of tree trunks, standing tall amidst a flurry of color. The style is both abstract and suggestive, inviting the viewer to feel the organic growth and the cyclical decay inherent in nature. The painting evokes a sense of resilience and majesty, paying homage to the timeless beauty of the natural world. About the Artist: David Leviathan, born on August 6, 1950, in Kibbutz Givat Brenner, Israel, is a multifaceted Israeli artist whose talents span painting, sculpture, and poetry. After serving in the military, he studied at the Avni Institute of Fine Arts and worked under the guidance of Yehezkel Streichman...Category

$9,750 Sale Price35% Off - Froid du l'Etang, French Expressionist Oil on Canvas Lake LandscapeLocated in Cotignac, FRMid 20th Century French Expressionist oil on canvas of a lake in its frozen landscape by Jacques Pinon. The painting is signed bottom right and is titled on the stretcher and signed to the back of the canvas. Pinon was noted as an artist in various mediums as well as painting, including tapestry and stained glass. His appreciation of colours and forms are very evident in this painting where he has captured a winter landscape but with subtle colours and forms giving movement and a jewel like feeling to the composition. The cold frosty light of the day animating a rural landscape, his use of layers of colour against raw canvas giving the feeling of the glassy lake. Jacques Pinon was a 'Renaissance Man', accomplished in many aspects of art and literature. he painted, worked in stained glass as well as sculpture and tapestry - he studied and worked at the National School of Decorative Art of Aubusson. He was also a poet and published writer. “All the forms of expression of the artist Jacques Pinon are brought together. A journey of fabulous encounters for this artist, his work is impressive, not to mention his work in collaboration with very great artists." Pinon exhibited extensively and internationally including a major exhibition in PARIS in 1954. “JAZZ.HOT” alongside Dali – Courtaud – (les) Delaunays – Dubuffet – Duffy – Leger and Mondrian. He also an exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art – Sacred Art Salon in 1960 in PARIS, at the Salomon Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Foundation Royaumont. His tapestries were exhibited in France in 1969 in the city of Lyon at the Galerie Verrières with GilioliI and Lurcat. His painting and sculpture are at the crossroads of several universes. Lively and luminous like a Corrida afternoon, the light reminds us of the work the artist did for the stained glass windows, he plays with both using different techniques and styles and his thirst for discovering new forms of expression. He came from a noted family of artist and artisans. His great-uncle was Alfred de Musset; his great-grandfather and his grandfather both Courtots from the Gobelins factory in Paris, and his family were all friends of Rodin. In 1952, his meeting with the architect Le Corbusier was a close collaboration around projects carried out with Lucien Herve...Category

His father realized they had to escape from the Nazi occupiers and tried to get the family across the border into Hungary. However, they were caught near the crossing point, arrested and incarcerated overnight at the nearby railway station. The Czechs put them on a train to Hungary early the next morning. That was their first miracle in their quest for survival. They survived with relative ease until late 1943, when the father was taken away to a forced labor camp. He subsequently died in a death march. Things became even more precarious in early 1944, when the Holocaust made its full-blown presence felt in Hungary. “It wasn’t the Germans, it was the Hungarian Nazis who did the dirty work,” Pressburger points out. The family lived in so-called “safe houses” that were protected by Switzerland, Finland and Sweden. The havens were dismantled in late 1944, and the Pressburgers moved into one of the two Jewish ghettos in Budapest. The Nazis had found two houses with Jews, including the one where we had been, and took them all out and shot them next to the Danube. Today there is a monument by the river [called Shoes on the Danube Bank]. We should have been with the Jews who were killed by the river,” he says. After the war, Pressburger and his siblings were farmed out to various orphanages run by the Jewish Agency, and things took a decidedly better turn. “We finally had food to eat,” he recalls. “After a while we were put on trains that were protected by the Jewish Brigade [of the British Army], and we were sent to Austria, and then to Germany.” “My uncle was a famous artist, and I learned a lot from him,” he says. While in Germany, Pressburger also took some lessons with a local artist. His mother managed to get him and two of his siblings berths on the Exodus, which set sail from Marseilles for Palestine in July 1947. Pressburger was 13 at the time and clearly recalls the aborted attempt to get to the Promised Land. “It was so crowded on the boat. This was a ship that was made to ply rivers in the United States, with a few hundred people on board, and we had over 4,500 passengers crammed in.” As we know, the British prevented the Exodus from docking in Palestine, and the passengers were shipped – in three far more seaworthy vessels – back to France. After the French government refused to cooperate with the British, Pressburger and the others found themselves back in Germany. The teenager eventually made it here in 1948, just one month before the Declaration of Independence. After a short furlough in Tel Aviv, during the first lull in the fighting in the War of Independence, he moved to Kibbutz Kfar Ruppin, where he worked in the cowshed. All the while he continued feverishly drawing and honing his artistic skills, which he says came in handy when he joined the IDF. After completing his military service, which included a spell as one of the founding members of the Flotilla 13 naval commando unit, he worked in Sdom for a while at the Dead Sea Works before starting his formal arts training in earnest. I was in the first group of students at the Avni Institute [in Tel Aviv],” he says. “There was quite a famous bunch of students and teachers like Moshe Mokadi and Isidore Ascheim and Aaron Giladi.” In such illustrious company, one might have thought Pressburger was set to unleash his burgeoning talents on art connoisseurs across the globe, but it was a while before that happened. Pressburger arrived in the French capital in 1964 and spent close to 15 years there, with a short interlude in Germany, before returning to Israel. His time in Paris was a professionally rewarding period of his life, and he also found love. “[Avni Institute teacher] Yochanan Simon gave me the name and address of a French-Israeli family in Paris, but when I got to the house, a young woman opened the door and told me the family was on vacation in Israel,” he explains. Despite missing his expected hosts’ welcome, he and the German-born young lady who greeted him soon fell for each other, and romance quickly led to wedding bells. By all accounts, Pressburger did well in Europe. He secured a rare three-year berth at Cité Internationale des Arts, where artists are normally provided with accommodation and studio space for between two months and a year. He was also accepted to the prestigious Beaux Arts academy of fine arts, mounted solo exhibitions, and took part in group shows all over Europe. One of these last was a group exhibition at Rathaus Charlottenburg in Berlin in 1966 – the first exhibition of Israeli artists in Germany after the Holocaust. When he arrived in Berlin, the lineup for the Israeli show was already signed and sealed, but somehow his work came to the attention of the German culture minister, who arranged for him to join. The Pressburgers’ year-long sojourn came to an abrupt end following an encounter he had one day while walking through the crowded Berlin streets...Category
