He came to Paris in 1888 and was linked to Numa Gillet. He showed in Paris in 1889, gaining an honourable mention and a bronze medal. In 1893, he was awarded a travel grant for his exhibition at the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. He was one of the founders of the Salon de la Rose + Croix. Point's first works are of Algerian scenes. After being part of the first Nabis group, Point, captivated by the efforts of the English Pre-Raphaelites, tried to begin a similar movement in France, taking its inspiration from Florentine works, particularly those of Sandro Botticelli. Armand Point showed deep erudition and indisputable talent in trying to resurrect the art of the 15th and 16th centuries. Many of his admirers regretted the fact that he did not put more effort into more personal artistic works. He also produced some interesting modern art gems, and in 1896 he created the Hauteclaire community that revived this form of art.

"Ben-day Sophia 1" Mixed media, Acrylic, spray paint, pigmented ink 36x28 canvas
By Ceravolo
Located in Southampton, NY
"Benday Sophia 1" pays tribute to those paintings that became the trademark of Ceravolo's unique and trend setting style of painting. His work is collected worldwide and is in many important collections including, Sir Elton John, Rod Stewart, Hugh Hefner and Prince Jefri of Brunei to name only a few. In addition to those, his paintings came to popular attention when he was commissioned to create 5 large scale paintings for the lobby of The Palladium Theatre in New York City. In this painting, Ceravolo has featured an image of his pop art painting of Sophia Loren, and combined it with a pattern of benday dots to create the basis of "Benday Sophia 1". He then paints his trademark brush strokes and textures on the canvas over the pop art portrait. Then, he paints the "floating" illusion that creates the 3d floating effect he is known for. The Canvas measures 36x28".
