Giuseppe Migneco was an Italian painter, one of the greatest Expressionists of the 20th century.
At the beginning of his artistic career, Giuseppe Migneco painted paintings of autobiographical content, created in atmospheres alive in his memory. In 1934, he came into contact with some important painters like Renato Birolli, Raffaele De Grada and Aligi Sassu, who guide him to discover that pictorial world towards which, nebulously, but also irresistibly, he had always felt attracted. Some years later, in 1937, he was among the founders of the "Corrente" movement, which brought together artists from different cultural horizons, with the common intention of opening up to modern European culture, rejecting the cultural isolation imposed by fascist politics. This artistic group will embrace artists like Badodi, Birolli, Broggini, Cassinari, Cherchi, Gauli, Guttuso, Manzù, Morlotti, Paganin, Sassu, Valenti, and Vedova.
Migneco's art fits into the furrow of social realism, a realism characterized by the influence of Mexican muralism, interpreted with a more rigid and cutting linearity that makes him a "wood carver who sculpts with a brush",according to the happy definition of one of his admirers.
Strong and sincere Expressionist, Migneco does not know half shades or semitones. The faces of his characters are the expression of a hard land that dispenses pain and fatigue. Humanity is illustrated in its existential struggle, in the continuous and profound confrontation with itself and with the events that besiege it, in consciousness and in the hope of freedom and memory, beyond the absurd solitude of existence.
The Sicilian painter, who in over fifty years of work, has expressed in an increasingly courageous and obstinate way, through a masterful use of colors, his commitment as an artist and as a man, exhibited in the most prestigious national and foreign galleries: Gothenburg, Boston, Paris, Stuttgart, New York, Amsterdam, Hamburg and Zurich.

Wolfgang (Johann Wolfgang) Behl (1918 - 1994) was active/lived in Connecticut, Illinois / Germany. Known for Sculpture and as an architectural carver.
A carver,designer, and teacher, Wolfgang Behl was born in Berlin, Germany where he studied at the Berlin Academy of Fine Arts. His teacher was otto Hitzberger, sculptor and architecture carver. I have seen some his work, particularly in carved wood compared to Constantin Brancusi although this one seems way more reminiscent of Alberto Giacometti. In 1939, Behl came to the United States and taught briefly in Pennsylvania at the Perkiomen School and in Rhode Island at the Rhode Island School of Design. There in 1943, he won the Joseph N. Eisendrath prize for sculpture. He also became a friend of Louis Mayer...

Higher - bronze sculpture on ancaster by Alison Bell. She says “I’m drawn to the times when we lived and played in our own imagination, unobserved, scaling fortresses & standing on the ramparts as kings of the castle. Or sometimes just quietly inventing our own worlds.” 53cm x 23cm x 21cm.
Artist Bio: Alison Bell's figurative sculpture captures those innocent childhood moments. Alison Bell has been selling with Wychwood Art Gallery for a number of years and we stock all of her works. Alison Bell sculptor comments "I try to make work that touches the free spirit in us, most often through memories of childhood. I’m drawn to the times when we lived and played in our own imagination, unobserved, scaling fortresses & standing on the ramparts as kings of the castle just quietly inventing our own worlds." "My work is essentially figurative and rooted in my early practice as a portrait sculptor. While the truth of the figure is important to me, my aim is to evoke the moment - the energy, the glee, our curiosity, the tenderness in our hearts." "I work freely & quickly in wax, observing & remembering, and then refine each piece before casting in bronze." "I spent a year at Glasgow School of Art & have a degree in Modern History and Politics from the University of Glasgow. My training came from my time at the Glasgow Sculpture...
