Andre Vignole, "Ombres sur le Champ" original lithograph. Signed by Vignoles in edition of 190 and numbered 97 framed size 23 x 29 5/8 inches.

Andre Vignoles was born in the Clairac in southwestern France on August 5, 1920. He followed a course of classic studies but was attracted to drawing at an early age and gave much of his time to it. He began to paint with a student of Flandria, one of the first Fauves, who studied in the atelier of Gustave Moreau. As he continued his study of painting, Vignoles was attracted by the art of Cezanne, Van Gogh and the Primitives of the 15th century.

In 1945 Vignoles married and moved to Nice but shortly went to live at Vallauris, where he worked in ceramics to earn his living, though his spare time was devoted completely to painting. It was in 1945 that Vignoles first met Pierre Bonnard. Bonnard gave the young artist both advice and encouragement, and in particular urged him to go to Paris. Vignoles moved to Paris in 1946. Two years after he moved to Paris, he began to exhibit at the Salon d'Automne. In 1950 he became a member of the Salon des Independants. In 1951 he exhibited in the Salon des Jeunes Oeintres, of whose committee he was later elected a member. In 1952 the French State made its first purchase of one of his paintings in succeeding years others were purchased both by the French State and the City of Paris. His first one man show in Paris in 1955 was followed by a series of solo exhibitions in Paris, London, New York, Beverly Hills, Palm Beach, and Chicago.

Anne Youkeles (1920) Austria, Original Lithography “Looking Up” 18/34

Education at Ohio State University, OH and the Kunstgewerbe Schule, Vienna, Austria

"The lines between sculpture and painting, photography and painting, and printmaking and painting have largely been blurred in the last few decades. The term ‘mixed media’ has become universally accepted. My work has taken advantage of these new opportunities, and has benefited from the permissiveness that has encouraged artists to follow their creativity, without worrying whether these techniques were acceptable. During my working life as an artist, I have gone from prints to paintings to handmade paper pieces, sometimes combining several techniques to achieve the desired result. However, the one constant has been my desire to make my work as three dimensional as possible. My prints, paintings, and paper works have always incorporated elements of sculpture through the use of folded canvas and paper as well as hand cast paper shapes in order to further my goal. My other aim was to combine small parts or modules to fashion a larger cohesive work, ‘the sum of the parts.’ The goal now, as always, has been to express a view of ‘The Landscape of My Mind.’"

Daniel Riberzani (1942), "Champ Jaune"
Serigraph measures 35 x 26 and it is unframed and unmatted. This edition was published in an edition size that was limited to 250 numbered plus proofs

Born in 1942 in Paris, Daniel Riberzani received the essence of his training of artist at the School of the applied arts. From 1969 it is requested for a great number of individual exposures both in France and abroad. In parallel, it takes an active part in the most significant Shows.
Proceeding per series ( Still life , Landscape-events , Peintures intimate ...) the artist does not cease surprising by his astonishing faculty of renewal and the originality of his invoice. In 1982, the State grants to him the first purse intended for the revival of the tapestry of Aubusson. This exceptional initiative involves many exposures and significant public orders among which Music and Dance (19,20 m length, 7,68 m in height, are 150 m² approximately, are the 2nd greater tapestry of only one holding with the world, after that of the Cathedral of Coventry, manufacture Pinton with Felletin).

The Large thornback ray, installed on the trades of the Goblins during seven years (head of part Yves Sabourin) shows once again the extraordinary artistic relevance and the audacity of colorist of Daniel Riberzani.
