Frédéric Louis LEVÉ Frédéric Louis Levé (1877-1968), born in Paris, He was an extremely talented painter and printmaker, exploring a wide variety of subject matters ranging from portraits to cityscapes, to peasant life in the country. His broad brushstrokes and strong shadows tip their hat to realism but also suggest exposure to some of the more abstract artistic movements, such as Cubism and Fauvism.
Iconic images of Notre-Dame, European canals and markets are found within Levé’s raisonné, but there is something extra in each of them. Each seems to carry an extra dimension that is hard to place but adds to their overall impression. Embracing a classical into an Orientalist flair, Levé’s subjects create a serene and intimate encounter for the viewer.
Note: A very similar color etching was exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1908 (no. 4490: "Wet Love"). It is therefore a painting preparing the engraving exhibited at the 1908 Salon.

Raymond Thibesart was born into an affluent family on May 2nd, 1874. As a small child, Thibesart’s family moved to a suburb of Paris where the very young artist found a wealth of teachers and inspiration to pull from. Thibesart showed such proclivity for drawing at an early age, and had enough talent that famed impressionist Emile Boggio began giving him lessons when he was just 11 years old. Eventually, Thibesart began formal training at the Lycee Rollin in Paris, followed by studies at L’Ecole des Beaux-Arts and the Academie Julian.
While working in Symbolism, Thibesart became a student of the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art movements of his native France and began winning numerous medals in France, including the gold medal from the Societe des Artistes Francais in 1897. Thibesart then began his studies with the famed Impressionist Henri Martin for much of his early life. From Martin, he learned the technique of “plein air" painting who as a master of the discipline. Proficiency of this technique and its aesthetic, freed up the young artist, allowing him the ability to create amazingly beautiful light and shadow splayed across his trademark subjects which frequently included the landscapes of Italy...

Rainy Night in Paris. Cafe de Consulate, Oil Painting
By Stanislav Sidorov
Located in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
As part of his cityscape series, artist Stanislav Sidorov exhibits a street in Montmartre, Paris, after the rain. Couples go out on romantic dates outside the busy Le Consulat. Colorful puddles reflect the streetlights and animate the festive scene. Stanislav beautifully details the distinctive European architecture with a palette knife.
About the Artist
Stanislav Sidorov saturates his canvas with the expressive color characteristic of the Russian Realist School. While he is a versatile painter, Stanislav prefers painting the small town charms found in architecture and urban environments. He achieves a textured feel by using the pallet knife to apply copious amounts of emotion.
