Paul Emile Pissarro Figurative Drawings and Watercolors
French, 1884-1972
Paul Émile Pissarro (1884–1972) was a French painter and the youngest son of the renowned Impressionist Camille Pissarro. Known as “Paulémile,” he grew up surrounded by artistic innovation and was deeply influenced by his father’s Impressionist style and philosophy. However, he later developed his own artistic voice, primarily within the Post-Impressionist and Fauvist movements.
Paulémile’s early artistic training came from his father and contemporaries like Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. This exposure instilled in him a love for plein air painting and the vibrant use of color, traits that became hallmarks of his work. His depictions of rural landscapes, especially those of Normandy and the French countryside, reveal his sensitivity to light, texture, and seasonal changes.
While initially working in his family’s tradition, Paulémile gradually incorporated Fauvist influences, embracing bolder, more expressive color palettes. His style also reflected the growing trend toward modernism in the early 20th century. His paintings exhibit a harmony between Impressionist principles and more dynamic, emotive compositions.
In addition to painting, Paulémile collaborated with the art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel, whose support solidified his career. Despite his father’s towering legacy, Paulémile maintained a consistent artistic output, earning recognition in his own right through exhibitions in Paris and abroad.
Paul Émile Pissarro’s contributions lie in his ability to bridge Impressionism with early modernist sensibilities, ensuring the vitality of landscape painting well into the 20th century. His work continues to be celebrated for its vibrancy and lyrical quality.to

'Girl in Red', Guggenheim, LACMA, Rome, Academy of Fine Arts, Venice Biennale
By Carlo Maria Mariani
Located in Santa Cruz, CA
'Girl in Red' by Carlo Maria Mariani, 1959.
Guggenheim, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Rome, Academy of Fine Arts, Venice Biennale
-----
Signed upper right, 'C. Mariani' for Carlo Maria Mariani (Italian, 1931-2021) and dated 1959.
Framed dimensions: 22.5 x 1.5 x 17.5 inches
A native of Rome, Carlo Mariani first studied there at the Academy of Fine Arts where he was influenced by the prevailing styles of Hyper-Realism and Conceptualism. In 1994, he moved to New York City where he began to paint figural landscapes in a traditional, neo-classical style. The 1990s brought Mariani wide recognition and numerous honors, as he represented Italy three times at the Venice Biennale. Additionally, in 1998, he received the prestigious Antonio Feltrinelli Award for lifetime achievement in painting.
Mariani continues to be best known for his refined and painterly, Renaissance technique. He was a central figure in Rome’s avant-garde in the 1970s and is widely regarded as an influential forerunner of 1980's Postmodernism. He achieved an international reputation, beginning in the early 1980s, for his arcane and, often, controversial paintings...

Duchándome. Nude watercolor on paper
By Celso José Castro Daza
Located in Miami Beach, FL
Drawing on paper is his basic work tool, some are sketches of his surviving works, and others are sketches of moments he documents.
Throughout his artistic career, Castro has exalted the figure and genitality of the Latin American man, putting into tension the limits imposed by the sex/gender system that are part of an unquestionable patriarchal and phallocentric order. The majority of those portrayed are inhabitants of the Colombian coast, also constructing alternative ways of conceiving Latin American identity. By breaking taboos about corporality and male sexuality, his work has been censored on numerous occasions due to public accusations of immorality and pornography. Celso Castro’s work is a bare-bulb erotic photo...
