"First words to two women" by Gilbert Pauli - Oil on canvas
Located in Geneva, CH
Born in 1944 in the canton of Fribourg, Gilbert Pauli currently lives in Geneva, where he devotes himself to painting and sculpture, a passion he developed from his childhood. His favorite theme is the dialogue between the human being and his creator.
Gilbert Pauli's messages are universal, without any racial, religious or even cultural reference, with the sole purpose of love for man.
From 1986, he worked relentlessly and in a self-taught way to discover the different painting and sculpture techniques: first gouache, followed by dry pastel. These lead him to watercolor, and oil, through charcoal and acrylic.
He died in Geneva in 2020 and the Gijsel Gallery...

Brenda Zlamany, Goat Head #2, 1990, Oil Paint, Panel
Located in Darien, CT
The place of the painted portrait in the postphotography, postmodern age is ever-changing. In portrait painting, a connection between the artist and the subject is created by the act of building an image stroke by stroke. This connection is unusual (and perhaps longed for) in a time of virtual reality and high-speed, mediated experience. There is much to be explored in the question of who is portrayed and how.
Brenda Zlamany is interested in the multifaceted nature of portraiture in the digital age. By combining painting, performance, interactivity, photography, a conceptual frame, and a digital presentation, she seeks to challenge schisms in artistic as well as social understanding.
Brenda Zlamany is a painter who lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Since 1982 her work has appeared in over a dozen solo exhibitions and many group shows in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Museums that have exhibited her work include the Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei; the National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution; the National Museum, Gdansk; and Museum voor Schone Kunsten, Ghent. Her work has been reviewed in Artforum, Art in America, Flash Art, the New Yorker, the New York Times, and elsewhere and is held in the collections of the Cincinnati Art Museum; Deutsche Bank; the Museum of Modern Art, Houston; the Neuberger Museum of Art; the Virginia Museum of Fine Art; and the World Bank. She has received portrait commissions from the World Bank, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and other institutions. Zlamany has collaborated with authors and editors of the New York Times Magazine on several commissions, including an image of Marian Anderson...

Italian Surrealist Oil Painting Jean Calogero Big Eyed Girl Doll Mandolin Flower
Located in Surfside, FL
Frame is 12 X 10. Canvas is 9.5 X 7.5
Calogero was born August 20, 1922 in Catania, Sicily. Self-taught Surreal Artist First exhibitions in 1945 in Sicily and Rome were very successful. He arrived in Paris in 1947 and studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts.
He is best known for his Surrealism and genre works. His paintings are dreamlike and visionary. They travel to an infinite space created by the artist through his memories, the sky and the sea so dear to him. In his paintings there are a few common themes: the masks with their dual dimensions that hide or shows only what you want, the profiles of the women, and the horsemen, drawn as the Sicilian tradition requires.
He exhibited at the Gallery Hervé in 1951 and the following year he went to New York to present his show, then in 1953 he was invited to Los Angeles, where he returned two years later, and from where he regularly exhibited his works, and San Francisco.
In 1954, Maximilien Gauthier devoted a book to him published by "The Gemini." The first exhibition in Japan was in 1965. He was awarded the Grand Silver Medal by the City of Paris in 1957. Calogero had countless exhibitions in Paris, in the fifties, plus the American exhibitions in New York (Associated American Artists, 1952), Los Angeles (James Vigevano Galleries, 1953) and then later in Japan and in major galleries in Italy.
He lived and worked for many years in Paris and Italy. He died in 2001.

Femme a la toilette - Symbolist Oil, Figures in Interior by Edmond Aman-Jean
Located in Marlow, Buckinghamshire
Large signed and dated figurative oil on canvas by French symbolist painter Edmond Francois Aman-Jean. The piece depicts a seated a beautiful young woman wearing a blue floral dressing gown having her long brunette hair brushed by her maid wearing her black uniform with white apron.

Private UK collection
Edmond Aman-Jean spent his early childhood in St-Amand, where his father ran an inland water transport company. Both his parents died before he was ten years old, and he went to live with his uncle in Paris. After a classical education at a Jesuit school, he started working at the studio of the sculptor Justin Lequien, where George Seurat was a fellow pupil. In 1878, with Seurat, he enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, studying under Henri Lehmann, who also taught Pissarro. There, Aman-Jean, Ernest Laurent and Seurat realised they had a shared interest in Impressionism and consequently decided to leave the school. The pencil portrait of Aman-Jean by Seurat is a moving testimony to the intensity of his early years. At the Salon of 1881 he discovered Puvis de Chavannes, and from around 1883 he worked with him, assisting on Sacred Grove, which adorns a wall of the main staircase of the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Lyons. He won his first award at the Salon in 1883, and in 1885 he was given a travel scholarship to Rome, where he went with Ernest Laurent and Henri Martin. After joining Stéphane Mallarmé's Cercle des Mardis, he was asked to participate in the Salon de la Rose-Croix in 1892 and 1893. It was around this time that he struck up a friendship with Verlaine that was to endure until his death. He stopped exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes Français, which he considered too conventional, and began exhibiting regularly at the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, becoming a member in 1893, and chairman of the painting section in 1914, 1921 and 1922. From 1896 to 1897 he went on a long trip to Italy with his wife, staying in Naples and Amalfi. In 1889 he won a silver medal, and in 1900 was awarded a gold medal at the Exposition Universelle. On that occasion he was also made a Chevalier of the Légion d'Honneur (he was later made an Officier, then in 1933 a Commandeur, as well as an Officier de l'Ordre de Léopold de Belgique). From 1899 onwards he often exhibited with the Société des Pastellistes de France. In 1899 he founded the Société Nouvelle de Peintres et Sculpteurs, which exhibited at the Galerie Georges Petit for 14 years. Around the turn of the century he travelled to Munich, Holland, Belgium and England and to Vienna as a guest of the Secession. He also made many trips to Italy. From 1902 onwards he was frequently invited to the USA to produce commissioned portraits of numerous public figures, as well as murals in a number of towns. He was also invited to exhibit there, notably at the Carnegie International in Pittsburgh until 1914, where he was on the judging panel. He even organised an exhibition of French art between 1911 and 1912 which took place in Buffalo, St Louis and Pittsburgh. In 1912 he took part in the new Salon de la Triennale with, among others, Maurice Denis and Renoir. In 1913 he was appointed curator of the La Fontaine museum in Château-Thierry. Also in 1913 he published his paper on Velazquez, which was an immediate success. His work was interrupted by World War I. For four years he stayed in Château-Thierry, which fell under German occupation, and almost ceased painting altogether. After 1922 he left the Société Nationale and founded the Salon des Tuileries together with Albert Besnard, who became its chairman, with Aman-Jean and Bourdelle as vice-chairmen. He very rarely had solo exhibitions, but exhibited jointly with René Ménard at the Galerie Georges Petit in 1925. In 1936 a major exhibition was held at the Salon des Tuileries in his honour. Since his death he has been represented at collective exhibitions of the works of his era. The Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris held a retrospective of his work in 1970; the Musée de la Chartreuse in Douai and the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Carcassonne hosted the exhibition Dreams of Women, Edmond Aman-Jean in 2003 and 2004.
In the 1880s he had produced engravings and lithographs. His lithographs were a big success. He made little effort to distribute his etchings. He was a careful draughtsman, working in charcoal, lithographic pencil, coloured chalk and pastels. He produced decorative compositions, most of them destined for various public buildings in Paris: St Julian the Nurse in 1883, Joan of Arc in 1885, The Park in 1901 for the town hall in Château-Thierry, four panels for the Marsan wing of the Louvre in 1908-1909, and painted The Four Elements for the chemistry lecture theatre at the Sorbonne in 1912, after which the parliament of Chile commissioned four large panels for the parliamentary palace. For a while after his studies at the École des Beaux-Arts, Aman-Jean practised Seurat's technique of divisionism, but he soon reverted to a 'flat' style as he tackled his first few commissions for decorative compositions. During his stay in Naples and Amalfi in 1896 and 1897, the harsher light enabled him to discover more vibrant colours, and he took to using these in moderation during this first period of maturity. Gradually from 1912 onwards his work began to reflect a sensitivity to the intimate charm of Bonnard's work. Today, this intimist part of his output is more appreciated, although it surprised those around him at the time. Works include portraits of women at home: Portrait of Miss S. Poncet, Portrait of Mrs. Juliette Second, and some anonymous young women with dreamy, melancholy demeanours: Confiding Secrets, Waiting and Woman with a Peacock, in which we witness both the supple rigour of his drawing and the colour harmonies, muted again but punctuated with brighter notes, which especially characterise his later work. The critic Roger Marx thought, with respect to these young women, that 'the unfathomable mystery of the eyes and the vague smile suggest the flight of troubled thought', although it is true that art criticism leaned towards psychological explanation at the time. He also depicted numerous nudes, no longer portrayed as allegories, but displaying a healthy sensuality, particularly in his drawings from 1906-1907 onwards, which testify clearly to his interest in femininity.
