About the Item

Signed upper right, "Joffrin" for Guily-Jeanne Joffrin (French, 1909-2007) and painted circa 1965. Photo of the artist in her studio, 1995. Courtesy of Wikipedia. Born in Paris, Joffrin first attended the École Supérieure Sophie-Germain before, in 1928, studying at the École des Beaux-Arts, initially in the studio of Lucien Simon. She continued her studies there for several years in the studios of Jacques Despierre and Lucien Fontanarosa. After receiving her diploma, Joffrin was appointed Professor of Drawing and taught in Paris until 1945, when she began to devote herself exclusively to her career as a fine artist. Over the course of a long career, she exhibited internationally with success including at more than forty exhibitions in France (Paris, Aurillac, Rennes, Strasbourg, Reims, Rodez, Toulouse, Barbizon, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Cannes) as well as in Geneva, Vevey, San Francisco and Tokyo among other cities. The human face was of particular interest to Joffrin and she created many portraits of academic notables including Paul Guth, Suzanne Flon, Yvette Alde and Madeleine Robinson. She was also a successful illustrator and also worked in stained glass, composing windows for two churches in Brittany. The work of Guily Joffrin is held in the permanent collections of museums internationally, including the City of Paris, Museum of Sables-d'Olonne, Museum of the Petit Palais de Genève, Aurillac Museum, Museum of Fontainebleau and the Brest Museum. Awards: Prize of the National Society of Fine Arts of Paris. Silver Medal Art, Science and Letters. Gold Medal of the Montrouge Salon. Madeleine Bunoust Prize. Prize of the General Council of Fontainebleau. Diploma of Honor of the European Festival of Art in the Ardennes.

Witch. 2009, oil on canvas, 130x130 cm
Located in Riga, LV
Witch 2009, oil on canvas, 130x130 cm Kristīne Luīze Avotiņa is a young and bright personality whose talent is appreciated not only in Latvia, but also in other parts of the world. Her deep inner experiences and feelings of the soul are not hidden from the eyes of the audience, but are openly and engagingly narrated: about relationships, man and woman, passion, emotions, about experience and connection with nature. Characters live in Kristine's compositional solutions, where figurative painting and ornament appear. When painting large-format works, she masters the entire format, composition and color of the work, as well as linear drawing. Kristīne herself emphasizes: "Relationships between nature and people - it has always been a relevant topic in my painting. The more I work on it, the more interesting it seems to me. It is infinite and unending. With paint I refresh the beauty of nature and love on the canvas and I want to show that nature and love are equal in their beauty. In my works, I always want to show that nature is beautiful and worthy of admiration - a newly blooming water lily, falling leaves from golden trees, a pink sunset sky... This could go on forever..."
