Claude Venard (1913-1999) Venard was born in France 1913, he dedicated himself fully to painting at the age of seventeen he studied at the École des Arts Appliques for six years, having fled the Académie des Beaux-Arts after just 48 hours. In 1938 he signed the Rupture manifesto and participated in the first exhibition of the influential group Forces Nouvelles, alongside Gruber and Tal-Coat at the Galerie BillietVorms. A close affinity subsequently developed among these painters and together they were instrumental in forging the aesthetic of the immediate post-war period of the Ecole de Paris. Venard quickly became known for his rich impasto and varying texture. Venard received critical acclaim and was personally championed by Andre Salmon and Waldemar George, who described his painting as “Apocalyptic art! Beings and everyday things suddenly regain their meaning. Emotional values are once more felt”

Bernard Buffet (1928-1999) Bernard Buffet was a French Expressionist painter and a member of the anti-abstract art group ‘L’homme Temoin’. Best known for his representational work, Buffet’s paintings are often figurative, graphic, and central in their compositions. A bold rejecter of abstract art altogether, Buffet was a member of the anti-abstraction group L’homme Témoin, or the Witness-Man, which passionately argued for the importance of representational art at a time when abstraction began to dominate the critical conversation. His oeuvre revolved around ideas of art history, death, sexuality, popular culture, and politics while often directly referencing contemporary events and artists. Buffet had an extremely prolific career, painting over 8,000 works and garnering widespread popularity and acclaim, including dozens of international exhibitions.

Carlos Nadal (1917-1998) Carlos Nadal was a Spanish painter of the Fauvist school. Nadal was born in Paris on 24 April 1917, but moved to Barcelona in 1921. His father, Santiago Nadal had a commercial design studio, where Carlos not only learned to paint, but met modern artists. This included Henri Matisse, Raoul Dufy and Maurice Utrillo. As well as the informal education from his father’s business, he studied at the School of Arts and Crafts and the Senior Fine Art Academy of St George, both in Barcelona. Nadal was particularly influenced by Henri Matisse and Georges Braque who was a close acquaintance in the 1940s, and maintained a love of the Fauvist style. His first solo exhibition was in 1942 at La Pinacoteca in Barcelona. His early work was mainly of scenes in Spain or Belgium but when established as a successful artist he travelled extensively, making paintings which often featured modes of transport as well as leisure scenes

Pierre Ambrogiani (1907-1985) Pierre Ambrogiani was born in Ajaccio, Corsica. He grew up in the port of Marseille, where at the age of 12 he became a telegraph boy. It was not until 1937 that Ambrogiani decided to devote his life to art, like his brothers Pascal and Toussaint (who worked as Toussaint d’Orcino) and sister Hélène. Pierre Ambrogiani established his name with still lives of the fish of the Mediterranean and Provençal landscapes. He received the Prix International de la Biennale de Menton in 1951, the Grand Prix des Peintres Témoins de leur Temps in 1967, and the Prix du Gémail in 1968. There was a major retrospective of the art of Pierre Ambrogiani at the Musée de la Vieille Charité de Marseille in 1973, with an important catalogue.

Henri Lebasque (1865-1937) Henri Lebasque was a French post-impressionist painter. He was born in Champigne in 1865. He started his education at the École régionale des beaux-arts d’Angers, and moved to Paris in 1886. There, Lebasque started studying under Léon Bonnat, and assisted Ferdinand Humbert with the decorative murals at the Panthéon. Around this time, Lebasque met Camille Pissarro and Auguste Renoir, who would later have a large impact on Lebasque’s work. Lebasque was a founding member of the Salon d’Automne in 1903 with his friend Henri Matisse and exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants.[3] Two years later, a group of artists exhibited there including Georges Rouault, André Derain, Henri Ottmann, Édouard Vuillard, and Matisse. Lebasque had some commercial success during his lifetime. He worked on the decorations at the theatre of the Champs-Elysées and of the Transatlantique sealiner. His work is represented in French museums, notably Angers, Geneva (Petit Palais), Lille (Musée des Beaux-Arts), Nantes, and Paris (Musée d’Orsay). ‘Le Plage de Cannes’ Oil on Canvas 18” x 22” Signed 40

Victor Charreton (1864-1936) Victor Charreton began his professional life as a lawyer, but ultimately was called to painting and became a masterful artist. He was part of the generation of artists who was exposed to the advances of Impressionism in their youth. He studied with Hareux and the landscape painter Japy, both of whom were early influences on the artist. He debuted at the Salon in 1894. A pure landscape painter, Charreton painted scenes of the Auvergne, Brittany, Provence, as well as the Maghreb in thick and vivid colour. He received a silver medal from the Salon in 1913, and was thereafter asked to serve on the Salon Comité. He was a founding member of the Salon d’Automne in 1904 and also its Secretary, and was an officer of the Legion d’Honneur.

Dorothea Sharp RBA (1874-1955) Dorothea Sharp (1874-1955) established her reputation as a significant figure in 20th Century British painting for her accomplished floral pictures. Her work is characterised by her ability to capture the clarity of light, her bright use of colour and the spontaneity of her brushwork. Sharp believed colour to be as important as form in the creation of a work and painted quickly with a heavily loaded brush. These ideas and techniques were learnt in Paris where she became influenced by the Impressionists, particularly by Monet. These ideas are perfectly executed in Still Life of Flowers with Sharp’s thick application of paint and use of bright blue to depict the delphiniums. The bright light in this charming painting further reflects her Impressionist teachings. Her pictures have a fresh colour palette, sense of movement and warmth that fit perfectly with her subjects. In the same way, her mastery of the impressionistic style imbues her canvases with an almost dream-like sentimentality. 58

Samuel Edmond Waller (1850-1903) Old English country life strongly attracted his imagination, and furnished him with the romantic incidents which formed the subjects of his most notable pictures, and their backgrounds were frequently taken from Elizabethan houses in his native county or elsewhere in England. Many of his pictures are well known as reproductions and engravings throughout the English-speaking world. The originals are in many cases in private ownership in America and Australia as well as in England. Waller’s great knowledge of horses and his skill in representing them gave his work much vogue among sportsmen. He took great pains in studying animals, and related some of his experiences in articles contributed to the ‘Art Journal’ (1893-6). His pictures usually tell a story effectively and dramatically, and has been described as both a Victorian and a narrative artist.

Wright Barker (1864-1941) Wright Barker was a painter of hunting subjects and genre. He exhibited from 1891 to 1938 at the Royal Academy and also at Suffolk Street.

Charles Wyatt Warren (1908-1993) Charles Wyatt Warren (1908-1993) was a self-taught painter and an enthusiastic supporter of the arts in North Wales. He painted the breath taking scenery around his native Snowdonia in the impasto, palette knife sculpted style of the North Welsh school made famous by its master, the late Sir Kyffin Williams. Despite being ten years his junior, the noted painter Sir Kyffin Williams was both a mentor and influence on Wyatt Warren. Williams had studied at prestigeous and progressive Slade School during the 1940s and intruduced Warren to the techniques and ideas he had learned from his teachers and fellow students. The most influential technique passed from Williams to Warren was the use of the palette knife and thick impasto that would characterise both artists work.

Montague Dawson (1895-1973) Montague Dawson was born in Chiswick in 1985, the son of an engineer-inventor who also happened to be an enthusiastic and expert Thames yatchsman. Dawson’s grandfather Henry had been a successful landscape painter and having skipped a generation, the grandfather’s artistic abilities were inherited by the grandson in full measure. Fascinated by ships and the sea from an early age, young Montague’s interest was deepened when the family moved to a house bordering the Southampton Water. By the age of eight, Dawson was already painting seriously and by fifteen he had gained employment in a commercial art studio in Bedford Row, London, where he illustrated posters. At the beginning of the Great War, Dawson became a naval officer and spent several years serving in armed trawlers and minesweepers, all the time continuing to draw when his duties allowed. During his shore leave, Dawson would visit Charles Napier Hemy, an established marine painter living in Falmouth who was to have a profound influence upon the young artist.

Ignacio Trelis (b.1960) Ignacio Trelis is a Spanish contemporary artist who began his painting career as a talented and successful Spanish landscape artist. Having exhibited extensively throughout Spain and having his own gallery in Valencia he was spurred into changing his focus on landscape works due mainly to the desire of younger artists seeking to emulate his style of execution. In an attempt to discover new inspiration and ideas he began to travel the world. This led to a whole new and exemplary portfolio of portraits from different cultures across the lands. Their forms of dress, body art and headwear obviously fascinate Trelis. From tribal warriors with piercing brown eyes to the Kimonos wore by petite Japanese ladies and the amazing vines decorating Bacchus, Trelis’s enthusiasm and passion are shared in these wonderful works. The portraits are surrounded by what appears to be abstract shapes in various vibrant colours but in fact represent symbols from the relevant cultural traditions. 77

Marc Esteve (b.1971)

Esteve’s works are characterised with a detailed view, a reality so well achieved that goes beyond what the human eye can see, the fruits of laborious work. Nothing is left to chance as Esteve himself says “A conscientious chromatic and harmonious work that converts a sense of calm to the beholder”. Nowadays his bold technique has achieved such a level of perception and creativity rarely found in the artistic world. He has exhibited his works in numerous Mediterranean exhibitions and three solo shows in Valencia, Alicante and Crevillente.
