Roshniak (Phone number) Moscow """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" BIO Mikhail Roshnyak was born in 1958 in Sterlitamak (Bashkiria, USSR) and studied in Moscow, at the Institute of Graphic Arts. In 1992 he founded the Miros-Yggs group in Leipzig and in 1993 he published the magazine "All-Manach" in Moscow, dedicated to the problems of alternative art. He is a member of the Union of Painters of Russia. Lives and works in Moscow. For many years he has been studying the life and work of the famous futurist David Burliuk, who lived and worked in Bashkiria at the beginning of the 20th century. In Moscow, Mikhail Roshnyak held an exhibition dedicated to his work. And in the Buzdyaksky district of Bashkiria, where David Burliuk lived and worked at the beginning of the 20th century in 1915-1918, the artist plans to organize a biennale with the participation of modern painters. The creative method of the artist himself, according to a number of art critics, is quite unique. Doctor of Philology, member of the Russian PEN Center, and author of many publications in Russian and foreign anthologies and collections Alexander Bubnov notes the particular style of the artist's works. ?In the paintings of Mikhail Roshnyak, the earth expresses itself, presents itself, and in its direct participation on the canvas - our whole country, suffering, and beautiful. According to Moscow art critic Galina Fayngold, the artist's exhibition in the space of the museum-apartment of Alexei Tolstoy is a conceptual phenomenon in itself: Tolstoy is known as a poem poet, and Mikhail Roshnyak paints his paintings directly with soil. At the same time, the relationship between the writer and the artist is deeper and is not reduced only to the word? soil. The new soil science is the desire to turn the dead into the living,? the uprising of the free Spirit against the mercenary-usurious civilization, the return of man to his true being, the artist's appeal to the fundamental principles of being, to archetypal memory, the art critic believes. According to the director of the Moscow Aster Art Gallery Marina Shchelokova, the style of the author's works emphasizes the need for attention to the spiritual life of a person in the modern world 1984-1989 - studied at the Moscow Polygraphic Institute with A. Vasnetsov, E. Zharenova; 1991-1993 - internship at the Higher School of Graphics and Book Art (Leipzig, Germany); 1987 - admitted to the Moscow Trade Union of Graphic Artists (TSHR); 1994 - 1997 organizer and curator of relevant projects, together with O. Mavromati, A. Dugin, S. Kuskov, E. Limonov, G. Vinogradov, S. Kurekhin, S. Ponomarev, N. Dmitriev, M. Katkova, A. Aygi , E. Kasimov, gr. TANATOS (Spirit and Soil 1,2, "Crusade", "Archeology of Consciousness", "Extremism and Erotica", "STOP NATO", etc.) 1996 - 2000 participant in international art fairs (Strassburg, Geneva) 1997 - 2002 organizer and curator of club performances; 2004 - together with S.

Bright pages in his work were a collaboration with the art group "Thanatos", art historians S. Kuskov, A. Shumov, writer E. Limonov, philosophers A. Dugin and A. Velikanov, musician and artist S. Ponomarev. ?... Installations, objects, paintings, and experiments of? ritual performance is more appropriate to consider not separately but in a single semantic context. And when considering and comprehending the artistic experience of M. Roshnyak, a certain temporal sequence, or the logic of the author's formation, is revealed. It is she who leads to an understanding of the artist's super-tasks. Here we have in mind Michael's predisposition to a vivid description of the meaning of life. Only through a vivid description does he try to determine, to feel, for he alone knows the open entrance to a closed text. A meaningful construction of "parallel" spaces and worlds, a vivid description of the galaxies visible only to him, by all available means, ?here and now? is his creed. ?/ S.Kuskov /. Participant in more than a hundred group exhibitions, 15 personal ones. Author and participant in more than 50 performances and actions.

In 1906, at the same time as his high school studies, he attended the studio of the landscape painter P. Joris. The training then continued at the free school of the nude at the Institute of Fine Arts (1908-10) and at the University of Rome, where he graduated in jurisprudence in 1912 with the thesis Legislation of Fine Arts and Antiquities published the following year in Rome. Starting from 1906, the first charcoal portraits are also documented ( CM , 1953, p.11) and from 1911 the works with a social subject such as Port unloaders ( ibid. , Table 1). In 1914 Mezzana got in touch with G. Giovannoni and F. Hermanin, through which he developed a keen interest in architecture. In the same year he participated with naked Man in the painting competition of the Regia Accademia di S. Luca (Rome, Accademia di S. Luca, inv. 957) and obtained the qualification to teach drawing in technical schools and artistic institutes. Moreover, he exhibited the oil painting Rinascita at the exhibition of the Society of amateurs and lovers of fine arts in Rome, which saw him annually present until 1928 with the Consecration of Chinese bishops (1927, reprinted in CM ... , 1983, pl. 9). In the same period, in tune with the widespread taste in the capital of those years, Mezzana matured a predilection for the crepuscular atmospheres ( Dante al Monastero del Corvo , 1914, Rome, Mezzana collection), represented with a connatural sentimental vein and a spelling dry and sharp. In 1915 he was invited to the San Francisco International Exposition, where he presented the Antoninian Baths and began to teach drawing in the Michelangelo Buonarroti circle and in the ornamental arts school of the Municipality of Rome. During the war period Mezzana suspended the activity of scholar and artist to devote himself to the organization of the military hospital De Merode of Rome (1916-17) and was then an artillery officer (1917-18). In 1919 he married Albertina Giorelli, with whom he had six children, and began working as a production designer in the production company Tespi film in Rome (1919-22). In 1922 he created the first framework of social engagement, Glauco (1922; Rome, Mezzana collection), with a clear symbolist imprint, in the wake of the masonry works of A. De Carolis and A. Calcagnodoro. The evocative and didactic approach is characteristic of the works of Mezzana, especially in this period ( Elegi abiectus esse in Domo Dei , 1926, CM ... , 1953, plate 7), with the exception of landscapes, where he expressed his best artistic qualities, painting with scrupulous respect for the truth ( Dogliani , 1928, ibid ., plate 11). In the same years, he carried on the work of a publicist and from the pages of the Catholic magazine Gioventù nuova (1914-24) he came to the heart of the issues of historical-artistic philology. He also continued his exhibition activity by participating in the second and third Rome Biennial in 1923 and 1925. In the latter he exhibited a collection of decorations and the sketch for the altarpiece, Christ between s. Catherine of Siena and s. Margherita Alaquoque (1922), realized for the chapel of the Sacred Heart in the Basilica of S. Maria sopra Minerva. At the same climate and in the same period belong the tempera dedicated to the life of s. Giovanni Bosco (1929, Turin, Institute of the Salesians) and the cartoons for the stained glass and mosaics of the chapel of the relics in S. Croce in Gerusalemme in Rome ( CM ... , 1953, plate 13), pervaded by a pictorialism and expressive sentimentality pathetic tones. From the beginning of the Thirties, the main focus of interest was the commitment to artistic issues as a scholar and conservative. Designed, assisted by A. Muñoz, the crypt under the church of S. Caterina Magnanapoli (1933) and obtained the setting up of the hall of industry and craftsmanship at the Augustan Show of Rome (Rome, 1937). Especially after 1930 Mezzana devoted himself to the study of a series of great figures: Leonardo da Vinci, GL Bernini, Giotto di Bondone...

Offered unframed Condition: Overall Excellent. No chips, flaking or missing material Great investment with hammer prices going up year after year. Rare find! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Blanchard received his initial artistic training at the Beaux-Arts in Rennes, Brittany. He then moved to Paris in 1932 where he joined the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He won the Prix de Rome. Like Édouard Cortès (1882–1969) and Eugène Galien-Laloue (1854–1941), Antoine Blanchard essentially painted Paris and the Parisians in bygone days, often from vintage postcards. The artist began painting his Paris street scenes in the late 1950s, and like Cortès, often painted the same Paris landmark many times, in different weather conditions or various seasons. The most recurrent topics were views of the capital city in cloudy or rainy days, showing streets busy with pedestrians in a rush to go home, and bright storefronts reflecting on wet streets. Many of the French Quarter art...
