Emile Bressler
Among the many Geneva painters of the first half of the century, Emile Bressler is immediately noticed by the originality of his talent. His intrusion into Fauvism, at the end of the 1910s, beginning of the 1920s, should even have made him one of the retrospective masters of this school. But his artistic evolution, even his detachment, and especially the war, decided otherwise. Returning to his homes, the painter pruned. Loaded with the dust of time, his painting has gradually been refined. From the landscape that had long been vibrant with matter, Bressler only sought to render the essential, to the point of completing his journey in serenity, out of fashion which, in any case, could no longer reach him. Perhaps Emile Bressler came from too far away, not so much in time or space, but in the soul. Orphaned at the age of 14, his only goal was painting. Without the insistence of the singer Clotilde Bressler-Gianoli, he would probably not have succeeded. But his sister-in-law insisted that the young man follow the School of Fine Arts, where his undeniable talent could flourish. Henceforth, painting accompanied him throughout his life. After discovering oil in 1910, the young painter struck a blow by winning the highly sought-after first prize from the Diday Foundation. The most important critic of the time, Mrs. L.Florentin, said of him: "Here he imposes himself, with his vision, with his technique and that we can no longer forget him". This was the real starting point for Bressler. Before the 14-18 war, with his wife, he went first to Cassis, then to Paris where he fears any contemporary influence, so attached is he to work in the field, in the landscape. Without knowing that he would never exhibit in Paris, he left for Brittany where, after a few months, he had painted about twenty canvases allowing him, by adding his canvases of Paris, to consider a first personal exhibition. Returning to Geneva he was a great success, and in 1920, found in Vernaz new landscapes dictating many paintings to him. After years of travels and the birth of his daughter Madeleine, Bressler experienced World War II in France, and so at that time his painting expressed his horror of what was happening. In 1949, with the death of his wife Blanche Sarzeau, solitude won over him and he left his home in Thônex for Spain, from where he brought back sumptuous landscapes, then for a final pilgrimage to the shores of the Mediterranean. He died in 1966 following a broken femur, but we will remember an artist out of time, forever. Text by Alain Penel, taken from the preface of the book: Emile Bressler

The peculiarity of the artist is in her individual manner of execution: Maestro Dobrovolskaya works with mixed technique of watercolors and pastels, which gives the work a feeling of hyper-realism. Portraits occupy a special place in her work, in which great attention is paid to detailing in order to convey the character of a person. In the technique of pencil graphics, as well as mixed (pencil with a liner), the artist depicts the city landscape - one of her favorite subjects, which is due to her training at the Department of Architecture and Urban Planning, under the guidance of remarkable teachers: N.I. Krivoruchko, V.P. Manokhin, V.A. Kodina, L.O. Bogdanova and others.

Mid Century Expressway Proposal Over Norman Rockwell Town
Located in Miami, FL
Artist Richard Erdoes is as undervalued as he is overlooked.
Rarely does an artwork come on that market that combines sharp-witted originality with mind-boggling technical proficiency.
In “Mid-Century Expressway,” Erodes painstakingly draws a birds-eye view of a Norman Rockwell-like town buzzing with activity. He paints far away and close up in one image. Each block has its own charming Americana story unfolding. The closer the viewer gets to each scene, the more detail is revealed.
In black and white, the artist describes not only the architecture and infrastructure but also human activity - lot's of it.
Erodes’s congested town is humming. Overflowing trains, packed busses, zooming cars, stuffed trucks, frenzied pedestrians and even a marching band is depicted with great whit. But do not worry. Progress is coming and all will be well.
Superimposed onto this black and white clogged urban scene is a proposed new highway. It's painted in a punchy green and creates an unexpectedly distinct design.
The artwork was most likely done for Fortune Magazine or the like.

Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, Paris
By Lucien Génin
Located in London, GB
'Parc des Buttes-Chaumont' in Paris, gouache on art paper, by Lucien Génin (circa 1930s). A charming depiction of well turned out Parisians enjoying a day at the park. Boaters, strollers and swans all co-mingle around the peaceful lake. The reflection of the rocky bluff in the water is superbly treated by Génin. It's a cheerful and uplifting image of days-gone-by in 1930s Paris.
The park takes its name from the 'bare hill' (chauve-mont) that once occupied the site. It became a place where gypsum was mined, and where the limestone was quarried to be used in buildings in Paris and the United States. Worse, though, it was a site that also became a dumping ground. Luckily, during the 19th-century renovation of Paris under Napoleon III, chauve-mont was chosen as a place for a large park, as part of the emperor's fascination with endowing Paris with green spaces.
The artificial lake created at that time wraps around a hilly central island. The lake attracts waterfowl and other birds and is stocked with fish. The 19th-century planners cleaned up the site and added tons of soil to fill the pits left by a limestone mining operation. Then dynamite was used to "sculpt" the site into the craggy shapes seen today, including the 50-metre-high central hill with cliffs, an interior grotto, pinnacles, and arches. Up on top, overlooking the rest of the park - and depicted in this artwork - is a small, round belvedere, based on the Roman Temple of Vesta in Italy. From that spot you can see a lovely view of Montmartre and the white cupolas of the Sacre-Coeur. The painting is in very good condition. It has been newly framed and glazed with museum-quality glass (anti-reflective and UV protection) to preserve this significant artwork for decades to come.

About the Artist: After the devastation of the First World War, Lucien Génin (1894 - 1953) left his provincial home in the autumn of 1919 to find his fortune among the lively Parisians in the heart of Montmartre. Génin befriended the painters Frank Will, Gen Paul, Émile Boyer, Marcel Leprin...
