“Eighty percent of painting is color,” says Wolf Kahn, quoting his mentor Hans Hofmann. “The problem,” he cautions, “is that when you mention color, people automatically assume you’re talking about bright color–colorful, loud, or boisterous hues. Color used in an uncontrolled way, without proper concern for the tone and structure of a painting, comes across as garish.”

Moïse Kisling (1891–1953) was a Polish-born French painter, renowned for his contributions to the Parisian art scene in the early 20th century. Born in Kraków, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts before moving to Paris in 1910, where he became part of the vibrant Montparnasse artistic community. Kisling was associated with the School of Paris and developed close ties with artists like Amedeo Modigliani and Jules Pascin.

His works are celebrated for their unique blend of Post-Impressionism and modernism, often featuring vivid colors and expressive forms. Kisling gained recognition for his portraits, particularly of women, as well as his landscapes and still lifes. During World War I, he served in the French Foreign Legion and later became a French citizen in 1924.

Kisling's career spanned several decades, and his works are now housed in prestigious museums worldwide.

Léon Spilliaert (28 July 1881 – 23 November 1946) was a Belgian symbolist painter and graphic artist.

Spilliaert was born in Ostend, the oldest of seven children of Léonard-Hubert Spilliaert, who was a perfumer, and Léonie. From childhood, he displayed an interest in art and drawing. A prolific doodler and autodidact, he was predominantly a self-taught artist. Sickly and reclusive, he spent most of his youth sketching scenes of ordinary life and the Belgian countryside. When he was 21, he went to work in Brussels for Edmond Deman, a publisher of the works of symbolist writers, which Spilliaert was to illustrate. He especially admired the work of Edgar Allan Poe.

Watercolor, gouache, pastel, and charcoal—often in combination—were the means by which he produced many of his best works, among which are a number of monochrome self-portraits executed in the early years of the twentieth century. Spilliaert's expressive use of black finds parallels in the work of Odilon Redon, who was a significant influence. Frequently depicting a lone figure in a dreamlike space, Spilliaert's paintings convey a sense of melancholy and silence.

His later work shows a concentration on seascapes. He died on 23 November 1946 in Brussels.
