Biography: Swyncop Charles was born in Brussels on March 21, 1895 emerged as a distinguished Belgian painter during the first half of the 20th century, leaving an indelible mark on the art world with his vibrant and captivating works. Born into a family with a passion for art, Charles inherited his artistic inclination from his older brother, Philippe Swyncop, who served as his first painting mentor.
As a young artist, Charles Swyncop delved into various genres, showcasing his versatility as a painter. He painted landscapes, city views, seascapes, still lifes, flowers, children, genre scenes, figures (particularly Spanish beauties), and portraits. His early education at the Academy of Brussels under the guidance of notable teachers such as Jean Delville, Herman Richir, and Alfred Bastien laid the foundation for his artistic prowess. The influence of his studies in Rome and Venice, where he immersed himself in iconography and the techniques of the great masters, became apparent in his later works.
In 1920, Swyncop played a pivotal role as assistant to his teacher Alfred Bastien in creating the panoramic masterpiece, “Panorama de l’Yser.” This collaboration, alongside painters like Charles Léonard and Jef Bonheur, showcased his dedication to large-scale and impactful artworks. The painting, initially exhibited in the mosque of the Cinquantenaire Park in Brussels, later found a permanent home in Ostend, though it suffered severe damage during World War II.
Throughout his career, Swyncop’s artistic journey intersected with Spain, much like his brother Philippe. However, Charles brought a unique touch to his paintings, employing subtle and spontaneous brushstrokes reminiscent of the French Fauvists. His colorful sea views echoed the influences of Henri Matisse and André Derain, setting him apart in the art scene.
In 1930, Charles Swyncop’s talent garnered recognition when he was commissioned by the Ministry of Colonies to create decorative panels for the World Fair in Antwerp. A testament to his artistic contributions, Swyncop became a member of the esteemed group ‘La Lierre,’ showcasing his works alongside prominent artists like Alfred Bastien, Julius Brouwers, and Henri De Clerck in their annual exhibitions.
Beyond his prolific career as an artist, Swyncop dedicated himself to nurturing the next generation of talents as a teacher at the art academy of Brussels from 1938 until his passing in 1970. His legacy endures through the charming and lively works that grace the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, each canvas reflecting the spirit of an artist who blended classical training with a modern, Fauvist-inspired approach.

- "The Pensive Beauty, " Carl Nordell, American Impressionism, Female PortraitBy Carl NordellLocated in New York, NYCarl Nordell (1885 - 1957) The Pensive Beauty Oil on canvas 40 x 32 inches Signed lower left Nordell was born in Copenhagen on 23 September 1885. In 1892 the Nordell family settled in Westerly, New Jersey, where Carl Johan, one of several children, received his education. Reportedly, a local gambler and art collector, Richard Canfield was so impressed with young Nordell's talent that he assisted him to gain admittance to the Rhode Island School of Design. Carl was a tireless student and serious in his studies of art, literature, and philosophy. Friends nicknamed him "The American Frans Hals," as a result of his study of that Dutch master. After graduating from the school in 1905, Nordell continued his training at the Art Students League in New York City for the following two years. There he received criticism and instruction from George Bridgman (1864-1943), a noted teacher of anatomy, and Frank Vincent DuMond (1865-1951), a landscapist associated with Old Lyme. The popularity of Impressionism in America at this time had reached its peak, and the style was of paramount influence in Nordell's advanced studies. Around 1906, Nordell visited an exhibition of paintings by the Ten, most of whom were American Impressionists. Moved by the work of Tarbell and Joseph R. De Camp, he sought instruction from them at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Nordell worked diligently under Tarbell and experimented with the genre of women in interiors, or Intimism. In 1909, Nordell received the Paige Traveling Scholarship, which provided for two years of continued study in Europe. He became one of the hundreds of Americans to receive criticism from Jean-Paul Laurens at the Académie Julian in Paris. From this base, he made study trips to visit major museums and galleries in Italy, Holland, Spain and Germany and during this period Nordell's style reached a level of uniqueness, though he definitely remained under the general influence of French Impressionism. By the time of his return to Boston in 1911, Nordell had successfully incorporated the use of broken color, a high-keyed palette, and the practice of working en plein air to achieve an accurate representation of light and atmosphere. In October of that year, the Boston Art Club presented eighty-seven of Nordell's watercolors and oils to the viewing public. Some of the watercolors seem revolutionary in their spontaneity. Nordell continued his career in Boston at Fenway Studios and exhibited in national competitions, including the annuals of the National Academy of Design, the Art Institute of Chicago; at the 1912 biennial of the Corcoran Gallery he won the fourth Clarke Prize. Nordell's finances were augmented by portrait commissions of some of Boston's affluent citizens. The artist was so intent on recording the sitter's likeness that in this genre, he deviated from his usual impressionist technique. In the women-in-interior genre, he frequently depicted a fully draped woman seated in profile or at an oblique angle to the picture plane. These pensive and attractive young ladies usually gaze into space and become an integral part of the pleasant ambiance of the scene. In this way, Nordell remained within the Genteel Tradition as it was manifest in Boston. The artist exhibited several such works in the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco in 1915, and won a silver medal for his efforts. In 1918, a one-man exhibition of fifty works was presented at the Boston Art Club. Nordell remained active in the Boston area art clubs and societies through the early 1920s. In the winter of 1921 Babcock Art Galleries presented him with yet another one-man show. During this period, Nordell increased the production of prints and won the Salmagundi Club's Shaw Prize for etching in 1923. Sometime after 1927 he began taking summer sketching trips to Chautauqua Lake...Category
