Do you look for hope in other peoples eyes
Located in Sempach, LU
God, I'm so lonely. I open the window to get rid of this feeling and hear the sounds of people. The sun and sea don’t make me happy. Stone bird on your grave, it doesn’t bother me at all. Someday it won't bother me anymore, but I loved feeling alive. To be alive. It's a shame to leave this feeling. But it's not your fault...

I remember his face, his words, his eyes. That day I lost a part of my personality, like a bitten fruit. I needed help and I got it. I was so tired of feeling and just wanted it to be over. Why did this take forever? Why is this still going on? I drew on paper a tattoo of three dots that were on your palm. This tattoo and eyes are the only thing I remember. I go to bed...

Boulevard Haussmann - Post Impressionist Painting by Antoine Blanchard
Located in Marlow, Buckinghamshire
Oil on canvas figures in cityscape circa 1970 by French post impressionist painter Antoine Blanchard. The work depicts a bustling scene at the Boulevard Haussmann in Paris, France. Lights illuminate the shopfronts and the street lights as people walk along the paths in their coats and horse drawn carts pass along the cobbled street.
Signature:
Signed lower right and stamped with artist's cachet verso
Dimensions:
Framed: 27.00" x 29.00" (68.6cm x 73.7cm)
Unframed: 18.00" x 22.00" (45.7cm x 55.9cm)
Provenance:
The Boydell Galleries - Liverpool
Antoine Blanchard trained at the École de Beaux-Arts in Rennes for three years. Then from 1932 attended the École de Beaux-Arts in Paris for four years. He painted exclusively Parisian street scenes in which the view is of an idyllic Paris in any season, but always in 1900.
Blanchard received his initial artistic training at the Beaux-Arts in Rennes, Brittany. He then moved to Paris in 1932 where he joined the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He won the Prix de Rome.
Like Edouard Cortes (1882–1969) and Eugène Galien-Laloue (1854–1941), Antoine Blanchard essentially painted Paris and the Parisians in bygone days, often from vintage postcards. The artist began painting his Paris street scenes in the late 1950s. And like Cortès, often painted the same Paris landmark many times, in different weather conditions or various seasons. The most recurrent topics were views of the capital city on cloudy or rainy days. Showing streets busy with pedestrians in a rush to go home, and bright storefronts reflecting on wet streets.
Many of the French Quarter art...

Figurative Paintings for Sale
Figurative art, as opposed to abstract art, retains features from the observable world in its representational depictions of subject matter. Most commonly, figurative paintings reference and explore the human body, but they can also include landscapes, architecture, plants and animals — all portrayed with realism.
While the oldest figurative art dates back tens of thousands of years to cave wall paintings, figurative works made from observation became especially prominent in the early Renaissance. Artists like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and other Renaissance masters created naturalistic representations of their subjects.
Pablo Picasso is lauded for laying the foundation for modern figurative art in the 1920s. Although abstracted, this work held a strong connection to representing people and other subjects. Other famous figurative artists include Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud. Figurative art in the 20th century would span such diverse genres as Expressionism, Pop art and Surrealism.
Today, a number of figural artists — such as Sedrick Huckaby, Daisy Patton and Eileen Cooper — are making art that uses the human body as its subject.
Because figurative art represents subjects from the real world, natural colors are common in these paintings. A piece of figurative art can be an exciting starting point for setting a tone and creating a color palette in a room.
