Signed lower right, 'Janus' for Ian Janus (Dutch-Italian, born 1919) and painted circa 1955. A study of a beautiful young woman shown posed in the foreground with a distant evening view, beyond, towards the Venetian skyline at dusk Born in Holland in 1919, Ian Janus first studied in Amsterdam and, subsequently, in Paris and Florence. He later settled in Venice, where he established both his studio and his reputation. His paintings show the influence of his early sculptural training as well as an affinity with the artistic vision of both Modigliani and Lautrec.

Salix
By Robert Marchessault
Located in Montreal, Quebec
My painting is an inquiry. I make images as a way of responding to experiences that are important to me. Experiences that help me to understand why I’m in this world often happens when I am outside in large open spaces. Painted images act as a tool. I respond to the spaces my art suggests. That response is usually non-verbal. I am interested in the experience of non-duality that “getting lost” in big spaces can sometimes produce for me. The paintings have gone through a range of artistic treatments with the recent years seeing a focus on space, light, textures, atmosphere and distance. My landscape paintings are made from memory, not from on-site drawings or photographs. I use memory as a filtering agent to remove non-essential visual elements. When a work is successful, it must have a sense of poetry. There is nothing “new...
