Kees van Dongen Art
Dutch, 1877-1968
The Dutch painter Kees van Dongen began his career as a poor young artist with no formal training who happened to encounter art by chance. Van Dongen’s distinctive style later earned him a place amongst the most fashionable artists of his generation. He was particularly famous in Paris during the 20s and 30s and was best known for depicting the modern woman. At the beginning of his career, van Dongen painted dancers and cabaret girls. Eventually, he moved to a studio, where he would host parties and balls and began to paint society women.
Van Dongen’s work can be found in the world’s most prestigious collections, such as the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg, the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza of Madrid, the Museum of Modern Art in New York or the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.

About Pierre Soulages :
Pierre Soulages est né le 24 décembre 1919 à Rodez et décédé le mardi 25 octobre 2022 à l’âge de 102 ans. Il a été inhumé le vendredi 4 novembre au cimetière Montparnasse.
Très jeune il est attiré par l’art roman et la préhistoire. Il commence à peindre dans cette province isolée que n’ont pas pénétré les courants artistiques contemporains.
À 18 ans, il se rend à Paris pour préparer le professorat de dessin et le concours d’entrée à l’École Nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts. Il y est admis mais convaincu de la médiocrité de l’enseignement qu’on y reçoit refuse d’y entrer et repart aussitôt pour Rodez. Pendant ce bref séjour à Paris il fréquente le musée du Louvre, il voit des expositions de Cézanne et Picasso qui sont pour lui des révélations.
Mobilisé en 1940,il sera démobilisé en 1941. Paris occupé, il se rend à Montpellier et fréquente assidûment le musée Fabre.
Montpellier à son tour occupé, commence pour lui une période de clandestinité pour échapper au STO pendant laquelle il ne peint plus.
Ce n’est qu’en 1946 qu’il peut consacrer tout son temps à la peinture. Il s’installe alors dans la banlieue parisienne. Ses toiles où le noir domine sont abstraites et sombres. Elles sont aussitôt remarquées tant elles diffèrent de la peinture demi-figurative et très colorée de l’après-guerre.
Il trouve un atelier à Paris, rue Schoelcher, près de Montparnasse. En 1948, il participe à des expositions à Paris et en Europe, notamment à « Französische abstrakte malerei » dans plusieurs musées allemands. Il est de beaucoup le plus jeune de ce petit groupe de peintres où se trouvent les premiers maîtres de l’art abstrait, Kupka, Domela, Herbin, etc. L’affiche est faite avec une de ses peintures en noir et blanc.
1949, exposition personnelle à Paris, galerie Lydia...

Morning
By Caroline Durieux
Located in New Orleans, LA
Caroline Durieux created the technique (electron print) used in the depiction of "Morning".e. This is only one of 5 impressions. Some have theorized that the image is close to that of the artist's brother, Professor Charles Durieux.
In the electron print technique, radioactive isotopes are mixed with printing ink. A drawing is made and exposed face-to-face to paper coated with a radio-sensitized substance. The paper is then developed and produces an exact image of the original drawing.
“The image is transferred from the radioactive drawing to the sensitized paper by invisible beta rays,” says Dr. Wheeler. “Since beta rays are electrons, we named the process Electron Printing.”
Caroline Durieux (American, 1896 – 1989)
Printmaker, painter, satirist, innovator, social activist, Caroline Durieux was born in New Orleans and was already making sketches by the age of four. Her formal art training was at Newcomb College (1912-1917) and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (1918-1920).
Carl Zigrosser of the Philadelphia Museum of Art encouraged Durieux to try lithography. While living in Mexico, she learned lithography from Emilio Amero...
