Annapia Antonini was born in 1942 in Lugano Switzerland. After studying art in Switzerland she moved to Paris in 1962 and studied painting at L'Academie Julian and etching at Friedlaender's atelier. Her first exhibition was held in 1964 in Switzerland her second in Sweden in 1966 and then in 1967 at Le Bateau-Lavoir and in 1969 at Galerie Kieffer in Paris. Since then she has exhibited regularly throughout Europe and also in Japan and the USA, her work is in many public and private collections. Anthony Dawson writes of her work: "The poetic quality of Annapia Antonini's work has always appealed to me since I first discovered it. It is the poetry of everyday things used in a particuarly observant way - a dish of vegetables, a plate of fish, a few chairs - arranged in apparently random fashion. But in fact however ordinary the objects we find in her work their presence there and their arrangement in the composition are far from accidental. There is always a deliberate choice: the mundane object is placed in a way which opens our eyes to its less tangible qualities distilling for us the beauty of simple things and showing how they relate to us. The technique and the years of hard work which enable Annapia to express herself with such assurance never obtrude but as with all true artists there is a mastery of the medium which may seduce the senses but never leaves us in doubt that she knows exactly where she is going. The statement is direct but avoids being harsh; and yet the subtlety of colouring and the gentle expressiveness of line never cloy. We end up feeling that if we had ever been clever enough to think of the ideal way to immortalise a kitchen table or a child's toy this is exactly how we would have done it."

- Untitled (Still Life)Located in Fairlawn, OHUntitled (Still Life) Etching, aquatint and soft ground, 2001 Signed in pencil (see photo) Edition: 260 Published by the Print Club of Cleveland, Publication 80, 2002 Printed by Felix Harlan at Harlan and Weaver, New York William Bailey, Modernist Figurative Painter, Dies at 89 He swathed his nudes and still lifes of eggs, vases, bottles and bowls in a breathless, deceptively serene atmosphere heavy with mystery. The painter William Bailey in 2009. He was never given a career survey in a major museum, but his influence, particulary on students at Yale, was deep.Credit...Ford Bailey By William Grimes for the New York Times April 18, 2020 William Bailey, whose pristine, idealized still lifes and female nudes made him one of the leading figures in the return of figurative art in the 1980s, died on April 13 at his home in Branford, Conn. He was 89. His death was confirmed by his daughter, Alix Bailey. Beyond his painting, Mr. Bailey influenced generations of students in his many years as a teacher at the Yale School of Art. In some of his best-known work, Mr. Bailey arranged simple objects — the eggs, bowls, bottles and vases that he once called “my repertory company” — along a severe horizontal shelf, or on a plain table, swathing them in a breathless, deceptively serene atmosphere heavy with mystery. His muted ochres, grays and powdery blues conjured up a still, timeless world inhabited by Platonic forms, recognizable but uncanny, in part because he painted from imagination rather than “They are at once vividly real and objects in dream, and it is the poetry of this double life that elevates all this humble crockery to the realm of pictorial romance,” Hilton Kramer wrote in The New York Times in 1979. Mr. Bailey’s female figures, some clothed in a simple shift or robe and others partly or entirely nude, are disconcertingly impassive, implacable and unreadable, fleshly presences breathing an otherworldly air. The critic Mark Stevens, writing in Newsweek in 1982, credited Mr. Bailey with helping to “restore representational art to a position of consequence in modern painting.” But his version of representation was entirely idiosyncratic, seemingly traditional but in fact “a modernism so contrarian,” the artist Alexi Worth wrote in a catalog essay for the Betty Cuningham Gallery in 2010, “that it feels, despite its historical sophistication, almost like a brand of outsider art.” William Harrison Bailey was born on Nov. 17, 1930, in Council Bluffs, Iowa. His father, Willard, worked in radio advertising and moved the family from city to city in the Midwest. Bill was in his early teens when his father died. His mother, Marjorie (Cheyney) Bailey, was a homemaker who later worked as an accountant for her second husband, Fred...Category

- Le Bois de BoulogneBy K.B. (Kyu-Baik ) HwangLocated in Ljubljana, SIOriginal color aquatint and etching, 1980. Edition of 30 signed and numbered impressions on Arches paper. Kyu-Baik Hwang is contemporary painter and printmaker, from South Korea. He served in the military during the Korean War, and after the war he began to paint. Latter, he traveled across Europe and America and got inspired by many of their cultures and artists. Displacing ordinary objects from their original environments, typical for his works is often compared to surrealist’s art from the 20th-century. Unlike surrealists, who rejected mind control and try to show the world of the unconscious, Hwang stimulates viewers’ imagination. He presents an extra-ordinary, imaginary world through ordinary spaces and objects, using different methods from printmaking to painting. The Bois de Boulogne...Category
