Mid Century French Expressive Ink Studies of Study of Female Faces
By Josine Vignon
Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
Title: Mid Century French Expressive Ink Studies of Study of Female Faces Artist: Josine Vignon (French 1922-2022) Medium: Pencil on paper Size: 9 (height) x 13 (width) Stamped: Verso Condition: Good Provenance: All the paintings we have by this artist have come from the artist's estate Description: This expressive ink drawing by Josine Vignon features a study of two female faces, each rendered with bold, confident lines that capture the essence of the subjects. The larger face, positioned in the lower portion of the composition, is depicted with sweeping, fluid strokes that convey a sense of movement and intensity. The smaller face above is drawn with more delicate lines, offering a contrasting depiction of serenity and poise. Vignon’s mastery of ink is evident in her ability to convey depth and character with minimal strokes. This drawing would be a valuable addition for collectors interested in portrait studies and the exploration of expression through line work. Josine Vignon’s art...

Chinatown, San Francisco
By Edward Wilson Currier
Located in London, GB
'Chinatown, San Francisco', gouache on fine art paper, by Edward Wilson Currier (1903). Spofford Alley in San Francisco's Chinatown is best known for an address (number 36) where Dr. Sun Yat-Sen plotted the overthrow of China's last dynasty. During Prohibition, it was the site of turf battles over local bootlegging and protection rackets. Today it is lined with seniors' community centres. However, the quiet alley livens up in the evenings when a Chinese orchestra strikes up a tune, mah-jongg games begin with a cascade of clicking tiles, and barbers and florists use the pretence of sweeping their doorsteps to gossip. In this artist's depiction, a man smokes a long-stemmed Chinese pipe under the awning and colourful lanterns hanging from the wooden supports while a child looks on. The artwork is interesting from several standpoints including architectural, cultural and historical. Shortly after this work was painted, the neighbourhood was completely destroyed in the 1906 earthquake that levelled most of the city. From 1910 to 1940, Chinese immigrants were detained at the Angel Island...
