Cafiero Filippelli (Italian, 1889 - 1973)
Cafiero Filippelli (Livorno, 4 dicembre 1889 – 25 febbraio 1973) è stato un pittore italiano.
Frequentò l'Accademia delle Belle Arti di Firenze, entrando in contatto con Giovanni Fattori e con il maestro dell'arte liberty Galileo Chini.
Allievo dello scultore Lorenzo Gori e dell'acquarellista Lorenzo Cecchi, fece tesoro di tutte queste lezioni, sviluppando una pittura che procedeva lungo il solco della tradizione post-macchiaiola, mediata da istanze culturalmente più ampie.
Specializzato negli interni a luce artificiale, che mettono in evidenza un'anima e un'inclinazione intimista, seppe tuttavia spaziare anche nella pittura en plen air, soddisfacendo così gli stimoli che gli provenivano dal mercato dell'arte.
Le sue marine e i suoi paesaggi, brulicanti di figure soprattutto femminili, svelano un'attitudine spiccata per il ritratto. I quadri dagli anni cinquanta in poi perdono smalto e subiscono una notevole riduzione delle quotazioni.
Cafiero Filippelli partecipò a varie edizioni della Biennale di Venezia e delle Quadriennali romane. Fu membro del Gruppo Labronico.

Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (Italian 1696 - 1770)
Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (March 5, 1696 – March 27, 1770), also known as Giambattista (or Gianbattista) Tiepolo, was an Italian painter and printmaker from the Republic of Venice who painted in the Rococo style, considered important member of the 18th-century Venetian school. He was prolific, and worked not only in Italy, but also in Germany and Spain.
Giovan Battista Tiepolo, together with Giambattista Pittoni, Canaletto, Giovan Battista Piazzetta, Giuseppe Maria Crespi, and Francesco Guardi are considered the traditional Old Masters of that period.
Successful from the beginning of his career, he has been described by Michael Levey as "the greatest decorative painter of eighteenth-century Europe, as well as its most able craftsman."

A Belgian artist: Anne Bonnet (1908-1960)
Composition N° 25, 1952
Anne Bonnet née Thonet (16 May 1908 – 14 November 1960) was a Belgian painter.
Bonnet was born in Brussels and began her studies in art in 1924, but abandoned them in 1926 on the death of her parents. In 1930 she married Louis Bonnet, a dealer in silk, and her financial situation allowed her to return to art. In 1936 she resumed art studies under Jacques Maes and held her first exhibition in 1938.
Originally influenced by realists such as James Ensor, she later adopted a geometric style of landscape painting, which became increasingly abstract, inviting comparisons with Paul Klee.
Her work was selected to be on show at the Documenta II exhibition in Kassel alongside other Belgian abstract artists like Henri Michaux, Michel Seuphor and Marc Mendelsohn. She was represented by three artworks: Vestiges (1956), Vestiges Grises (1956) and Hélianthes (1957).
Exhibitions of her work have been frequent since her death, including a major series in 1963 at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium and at the Art museums of Liège and Charleroi.
Her iconic La ville d'or is held by the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.

John Felsing
Far From Babylon, Oil on linen, 60 x 48 1/8 inches
A master at capturing the more ethereal aspects of nature, he creates haunting landscapes that reveal the fleeting effects of light and color glimpsed only at twilight. The inspiration for Felsing’s introspective oils is firmly rooted in the lakes, streams, and woodlands. His vision of nature is rendered in muted colors and soft contours that evoke a quiet, contemplative mood. Yet his landscapes often contain a suggestion of mystery. (from pinterest)

George McNeil ~ Abstract expressionist painter
Abstract Expressionism: Hans Hofmann (1880-1966)
oil on panel 182.9 x 81.3 cm
Hans Hofmann (March 21, 1880 – February 17, 1966) was a German-born American painter, renowned as both an artist and teacher. His career spanned two generations and two continents, and he is considered to have both preceded and influenced Abstract Expressionism.
Early Life and Education:
- Born in Weißenburg, Bavaria, on March 21, 1880, to Theodor Friedrich Hofmann and Franziska Manger Hofmann.
- Educated near Munich, he was active in the early twentieth-century European avant-garde.
Artistic Journey:
- Brought a deep understanding and synthesis of Symbolism, Neo-impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism when he emigrated to the United States in 1932.
- His painting is characterized by rigorous concern with pictorial structure and unity, spatial illusionism, and bold use of color for expressive means.
Influence and Recognition:
- Critic Clement Greenberg considered Hofmann’s first New York solo show at Peggy Guggenheim’s Art of This Century in 1944 (along with Jackson Pollock’s in late 1943) as a breakthrough in painterly versus geometric abstraction that heralded abstract expressionism.
- Major retrospectives at the Whitney Museum of American Art (1957) and Museum of Modern Art (1963) solidified his recognition.
- His works are in the permanent collections of major museums worldwide.
Influential Art Teacher:
- Established an art school in Munich in 1915, building on the ideas of Cézanne, Cubists, and Kandinsky.
- After relocating to the United States, he reopened the school in both New York City and Provincetown, Massachusetts, until he retired from teaching in 1958 to paint full-time.
- Influenced post-war American avant-garde artists and theories of Greenberg.
Key Tenets:
- Push/pull spatial theories.
- Belief that abstract art has its origin in nature.
- Emphasis on the spiritual value of art.
