Paintings by Maria Pavlova

“Maria Pavlova (1979 - present) studied art at St. Petersburg State Academic Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. Pavlova believes, “Art should trigger only positive emotions; I only paint things I would like to see on my room’s wall.” Obviously a cat lover, Pavlova captures each feline in typical cat poses in a wonderful impressionistic style.”

Albert Bierstadt was born in Solingen, Prussia but his family immigrated to America when he was just one year old, settling in Massachusetts. At a young age, Bierstadt discovered his passion for art through crayons. In 1851, at the age of 21, he progressed from sketches and photography into the self-taught skill of oil painting (though he would always rely on field sketches for studio paintings). For a few years, he tried to pursue employment as a painting teacher, but the combination of his raw skill and the middle-class nature of his New Bedford community did not lead to much success. This prompted Bierstadt to return to Germany and stay with his distant cousin, Johann Peter Hasenclever, in the hopes of gaining some formalized education in his craft. Though Hasenclever died soon after Bierstadt’s arrival, he did catch a break in receiving assistance from American artist Worthington Whittredge. From 1853-1856, Bierstadt developed an eye for grandiose landscapes and light and color study as a student of the Düsseldorf Academy (Kunstakademie Düsseldorf). The following year, he joined Whittredge on a tour through Germany, Switzerland, and Italy before returning to New Bedford. The sweeping landscapes that Bierstadt painted from his sketches of this European scenery, particularly of the Swiss Alps, were successfully debuted in 1858 in New York. From thereon, Bierstadt was an honorary member of the National Academy of Design and received relatively high popularity during his lifetime: he attended a private exhibit of two of his paintings to England's Queen Victoria, was awarded the Legion of Honor by France's Napoleon III, and contracted for two paintings to be displayed in the United States Capital. Unfortunately, changing interests in art and a devastating fire at his studio led him near bankruptcy from 1889 onward. Bierstadt’s first trip across Europe had awakened a journeying spirit that he indulged with frequent traveling to rural settings the rest of his life, even after moving to the Bahamas for his wife's health (as, in 1876, Rosalie developed tuberculosis). His most frequent scenes depicted the American West and thus mark Bierstadt as one of America’s many Westward Expansion artists. However, he is most commonly associated with the Hudson River School (having worked out of a studio on the Hudson River during the peak of his career) and their brand of American Romanticism, which put great emphasis on wide pastoral and wilderness settings. In addition, Bierstadt has retroactively been considered one of the key contributors to the informal and controversially categorized sub-movement of Luminism - landscapes that use a combination of majestic or large views, high skies, the contrast of land and water, and glowing light studies with the style of realism to capture a moment of strong emotion in nature. A revival of interest in Bierstadt's paintings began in the 1960s with the rediscovery of his field sketches. Today, Bierstadt is the namesake of a mountain, of which he made the first recorded summit in 1863, and of a lake, which he often visited and painted. Both are located in the Rocky Mountain National Park of Colorado. Bierstadt also named a neighboring peak, Mount Rosa, after his wife, but it was later renamed by the state.

VINCENT VAN GOGH

Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch post-impressionist painter. In just over a decade he created about 2,100 artworks, most of which date from the last two years of his life. Van Gogh was unsuccessful during his lifetime, and was considered a failure. His reputation began to grow in the early 20th century as elements of his painting style came to be incorporated by the Fauves and German Expressionists. He attained widespread critical, commercial, and popular success over the ensuing decades. Today, Van Gogh's works are among the world's most expensive paintings to have ever sold at auction, and his legacy is honoured by the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, which holds the world's largest collection of his paintings and drawings.

When signs of origin fade, fall out, if washed away, trickle into separations, precipitate when boiled or filtered to reveal all doubleness as wickedness.
