Turner on the Loire
On Turner's 1826 journey through Brittany and up the River Loire, he filled several sketchbooks with hasty impressions of famous chateaux. Many of his sketches are identified and reproduced here for the first time, together with all of the justly celebrated watercolors that Turner produced to be engraved in 1833. Turner was at the forefront of an invasion of the Loire region by artists, most of whom were British, as is plain from illustrated examples by contemporaries such as Samuel Prout, William Callow, and Clarkson Stanfield, as well as views by French artists like Delacroix.

The exhibition 'Frightening Faun! Images of the Faun, from Antiquity to Picasso' proposes a dialogue between works from different eras using a variety of techniques. Divided into three main thematic sections, it demonstrates the multiple facets of this mysterious, hybrid, mischievous and erotic creature, which since Antiquity, has fascinated and inspired artists.?Embodying, like the Minotaur, the power of artistic creation? (Coline Zellal), Picasso?s facetious fauns cadence the exhibit and reveal the artist?s attachment to mythology.00Exhibition: Musée de Lodève, France (07.07-07.10.2018).

Théo Van Rysselberghe
The Belgian painter Théo Van Rysselberghe (1862-1926) is one of the most emblematic figures of the neo-Impressionist movement, together with Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. With his delicate touch, refined chromatic sense and great elegance--above all in his portraits--he produced some of the finest works of Divisionism. Yet Van Rysselberghe's oeuvre is not limited to his best-known works of his neo-Impressionist period (1888-96). Distancing himself from the strict division of colors, he subsequently moved towards a more fluid style that nevertheless retained his signature luminosity. His portraits and female nudes, the landscapes he brought back from his numerous trips to Morocco, France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands, all reveal an insatiable curiosity and an immense talent, coupled with a rare sensibility. This generous new catalogue presents many works that have never been published before.
