Duncan Grant

Duncan Grant (1885-1978) was a British painter and decorative artist who was associated with the Bloomsbury Group, a collective of intellectuals, writers, and artists who were active in the early 20th century. Grant was born in Scotland and grew up in England, where he received his artistic training. He was a prolific painter who worked in a variety of media, including oils, watercolors, and pastels. Grant's work is characterized by its strong use of color and its expressive, loose brushwork. He was particularly interested in the decorative arts, and he was skilled at textile design, bookbinding, and other crafts. Grant was also known for his unconventional personal life; he was openly bisexual and had relationships with both men and women, including Virginia Woolf. His work has been exhibited and collected by major museums and institutions around the world, and he is considered an important figure in the history of British art.

Jenny Parsons, Jonkershoek sketch

Jenny Parsons is an urban landscape painter working mostly in oil on canvas and chalk pastel.

For Parsons a landscape painting is a place for the eye and mind to play, where the experience of the landscape and the act of painting hold equal importance.

Her work shows a fascination with vertical objects on the landscape: trees, buildings, lampposts and other structures; as well as the "drawings" on the land created by roads, paths and other demarcations. These elements suggest and in fact replace a human presence. The visual conversation between horizontal and vertical, mass and detail, solidity and fragility further explore the human relationship to the land.

Paul John Wonner (1920 – 2008) was an American artist who was born in Tucson, Arizona. He received a B.A. in 1952, an M.A. in 1953, and an M.L.S. in 1955―all from the University of California, Berkeley. He rose to prominence in the 1950s as an abstract expressionist associated with the Bay Area Figurative Movement, along with his partner, Theophilus Brown (1919-2012), whom he met in 1952 while attending graduate school. In 1956, Wonner started painting a series of dreamlike male bathers and boys with bouquets. In 1962, he began teaching at the University of California, Los Angeles. By the end of the 1960s, he had abandoned his loose figurative style and focused exclusively on still lifes in a hyperrealist style. Wonner died April 23, 2008 in San Francisco, California.

Paul Wonner is best known for his still-life paintings done in an abstract expressionist style.

Schueler originally wanted to become a writer and, after acquiring his MA at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1940, he worked for a short time as a journalist. The Second World War interrupted his writing. 

After the war, he moved to San Francisco and taught English while he began attending the California School of Fine Arts where he studied with Edward Corbett, David Park, Hassel Smith, and Richard Diebenkorn. He chose Abstract Expressionism as his preferred style and moved to New York in 1951, where he became part of the New York School of artists. His first solo exhibition was in 1954, at the Stable Gallery.

George Inness (1825 – 1894) was an influential American landscape painter. His work was influenced, in turn, by that of the old masters, the Hudson River school, the Barbizon school, and, finally, by the theology of Emanuel Swedenborg, whose spiritualism found vivid expression in the work of Inness' maturity. Often called "the father of American landscape painting," Inness is best known for these mature works that not only exemplified the Tonalist movement but also displayed an original and uniquely American style.
