Eugene Deveria Figurative Drawings and Watercolors

French, 1808-1865
Eugène Devéria was born in Paris on April 22 , 1805 and he died in Pau on February, 1865. He was a romantic and historical painter. With Eugène Delacroix and Louis Boulanger, he is one of the leading representatives of the French Romantic movement in painting. The Devéria family was a family of artists with not only Achille and Eugene, but also Laure the youngest, who showed a real talent as a designer and exhibited successfully at the Salon. She died prematurely in May 1838. In the years 1820-1830, the Parisian home of Devéria attracted artists and musicians: "Romanticism was at home in Devéria as it was then said ..." , will remember years later the poet Theophile Gautier, Eugene's great friend. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris under the direction of Girodet-Trioson and Guillaume Guillon Lethière. The young painter received many official commissions: a painting, intended for the ceiling of a room of the Louvre, entitled "Puget presenting his Milon de Crotone to Louis XIV", portraits of historical figures for the Museum of the History of France that Louis-Philippe wanted to create at Versailles; he took part in the construction of Notre-Dame-de-Lorette church in Paris. He accepted in 1838 the proposal to leave the capital for Avignon where he was proposed to redo all the painted decoration of the Notre-Dame des Doms cathedral. The magnitude of the task, the insalubrity of the place and a dreadful flood where he fails to perish with his family exhaust the painter who, sick, weakened, left the papal city to recover in Béarn. In 1841, cured, he moved permanently to Pau where he remained until his death.

"Porcupine Quill Jacket" Abstract Minimalist Portrait of a Man
By Lisa Qualls
Located in Houston, TX
Graphite and watercolor drawing on mylar of a figure dressed in a quill jacket made by the Cameroon grass fields people in Africa by Florida artist Lisa Qualls. Titled “Porcupine Quill Jacket,” the work was created as part of a series titled “Strawmen and Sugarbones” made for the "RAW" exhibition at O'Kane Gallery in 2009. In her artist statement for this series Qualls states: “I have isolated pieces of costumes and placed them on a person who is naked in order to emphasize the relationship between the object and person, the materials and skin, the symbol and the living being. The garments and ritual objects relate to the body in specific ways and are used to explore gender roles, societal and cultural ideas, aesthetics and spirituality. The voyeuristic element of the audience to the subjects in the drawings further emphasizes the vulnerability of the figures and their introspective and intimate poses. The figures, part soft and vulnerable, part concealed and protected, live in these ambiguous spaces as they would in a vision.” Dimensions Without Frame: H 36 in. x W 24 in. Artist Biography: Lisa received her BFA and BA from the University of Texas at Austin. She continued her studies in Fine Art and Design at Parsons and FIT in New York, NY and CISIM in Ravenna, Italy. Her work is currently represented by Ann Connelly...
