Maud Sumner

Maud Sumner (1902-1957) Still Life with Books 
Maud Sumner was born in Johannesburg in 1902 and died in 1957 at the young age of 55. She was educated at Rodean School in Johannesburg. Sumner moved to London in 1939 but returned to South Africa in 1941 where she worked in Johannesburg until 1946. She had sixteen one-man exhibitions and completed numerous portraits and figure-studies. Between 1947 to 1953, her religious feelings deepened and she painted a number of sacred subjects as well as carrying out commissions for Church art. Always intelligent, her work became increasingly emotional in later years. Maud Sumner's paintings are represented in every public collection in South Africa as well as being represented in a number of overseas public collections.Ref. Artvault

Iain Faulkner

Iain Faulkner (f. 1973)
Since graduating from Glasgow School of Art in 1996 with a BA (Honours) Degree in Fine Art, he has established himself as a skilled draughtsman, an artist with the integrity to embrace the difficult path of contemporary figurative painting wherein the yardsticks of competence and painterly skill can be measured and judged, warts and all. Still only in his thirties, Faulkner has already had numerous successful solo shows in the UK, USA, Spain and Italy.

Camille Pissarro

Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) Les côteaux de l'Hermitage, Pontoise (~1868) Solomon R.Guggenheim Museum, New York, USA
"The Hermitage, however realistic an arcadian scene it appears to be, belongs to Pissarro’s seemingly unfulfilled quest for a truthful manner of depiction. Shortly afterward he abandoned this Realist style for a looser brush and the atmospheric effects for which he is popularly known, the trademarks of Impressionism."

I föräldrahemmet hade hans intresse väckts för de fornnordiska sagorna och under lärotiden uppmärksammades han för sina teckningar med fornnordiska motiv. Bland annat utförde han illustrationer till Adam Oehlenschlägers "Nordens Gudar" och kronprins Karls dikter"Fosterbröderna". Han attraherades av Göticismen och tillsammans med sin studiekamrat och vän konstnären August Malmström göt han nytt liv i de historiska traditionerna. Ref. Wikipedia
