Gaston La Touche Drawings and Watercolor Paintings
French, 1854-1913
Gaston La Touche, artiste majeur de la fin du XIXe siècle et du début du XXe siècle, a débuté sa carrière dans un style naturaliste inspiré par Manet et Zola, avant d'évoluer vers une esthétique plus joyeuse et personnelle à partir des années 1890. Il s’illustre notamment par des scènes de fêtes, des portraits et des paysages bucoliques, dans lesquels la lumière et la couleur jouent un rôle central. Cette transformation stylistique lui vaut d'être comparé aux peintres rococo du XVIIIe siècle et surnommé "le fils de Watteau". Au cours de sa carrière, Gaston La Touche a exposé très fréquemment ses oeuvres, avec la Société des artistes français de 1874 à 1889, puis à la Société nationale des beaux-arts à partir de 1890, ainsi qu'avec la Société Nouvelle, les Aquarellistes et les Pastellistes. Célébré de son vivant comme l'un des acteurs majeurs de la peinture décorative, son talent lui a permis d'être décoré chevalier de la Légion d’honneur en 1900, puis officier en 1909.
Ses oeuvres sont présentes dans de nombreux musées en France et dans le monde entier.to

"#186 – WOUNDED WERE COMING", ink, pencil, gouache, found vintage book, poetry
By Amy Williams
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"#186 – WOUNDED WERE COMING" is from Amy Williams' series A Farewell to Arms – wherein the artist works directly onto pages of a found copy of Ernest Hemingway's WWII romance novel. The artist selects certain words and phrases from page 186 to isolate as a poem, and then draws, inks, redacts and paints the rest of the page according to the text. The resulting poem reads "The wounded were coming / men that were scared / I felt the rain in my face / It was getting dark." – Hemingway's novel is a doomed romance between a wounded American soldier and an Italian nurse – note the feminine form on the page, with a "dress" or apron that looks skeletal, bloody and rained upon, all at once.
From Amy Williams – "My recent work is focused on making treated book pages using a found vintage...

BIO
rene Pereira was born in 1902 in Chelsea, Massachusetts and grew up in Great Barrington. She was strongly influenced by her mother who was an amateur artist. Irene began art lessons at the age of fifteen; she took a secretarial job because her father had died. She took art classes at the Art Students League in New York City. At the age of twenty-one she married the first of three husbands, Humberto Pereira, whose name she kept.
She traveled extensively in Europe and North Africa and was much inspired by the expansive vistas of the Sahara Desert. Returning to New York, she began incorporating these visions into her work, increasingly experimental in her styles and methods. At first she painted on canvas, then she devised a means of actually incorporating light into her works by painting on layers of glass and mounting the layers together.
In 1942 she married George Brown, an engineer, who helped her experiment with a variety of materials. By the 1950s she became more interested in writing poetry and, divorced from Brown in 1952, she married George Reavey, an Irish Poet...
