Artist: Elisabeth Hahn (German 1924-2021), Elisabeth Hahn was born in Dortmund, Germany, where she began her artistic studies. In 1953, she moved to Paris. She continued her studies at the Beaux-Arts in the workshops of Jean Souverbie and Edmond Heuzé, between 1954 and 1959. Since 1962, she has exhibited regularly at the Salons de L'Art Libre, Salon de L'Union des Artistes, and in major Parisian galleries: Galerie Raymond-Creuze, Galerie Cimaise de Paris and Galerie Everarts. She also exhibited regularly in Germany, including in Dortmund and Königswinter-Oberpleis. In her paintings, which tend to be figurative, she always tries to put color and line at the service of the subject, eliminating all the details that could be detrimental to the overall expression. Elisabeth Hahn's painting fully deserves to be rediscovered again. Title: Figures in Street...

Oil on canvas, signed lower left Georges Gaston Arnulf est un peintre et graveur français, né à Monte-Carlo (Monaco) le 23 mars 1921 et mort le 19 novembre 1996 au Thillay. Georges Arnulf est originaire d'une ancienne famille niçoise. Il est le neveu de Gaston Arnulf, ancien conseiller général, et le fils d'un ancien hôtelier niçois. Il fait toutes ses études au lycée de Monaco et au lycée de Nice. Après avoir suivi les cours de dessin et de décoration à l'École nationale des arts décoratifs de Nice, où il est l'élève de Jules Henri Lengrand, il est reçu en 1946 à l'École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris, présenté par Pierre-Henri Ducos de La Haille le 30 octobre 1947, il y fréquente les ateliers de fresque et de gravure. Il entre chez le taille-doucier Robert Cami où il continue son apprentissage du burin1, de l'eau-forte, de la manière noire. Il obtient en 1950 le premier grand prix de Rome de gravure en taille douce2 et il est missionné pour réaliser l'étiquette de la bouteille du Château Mouton Rothschild 19503. Pensionnaire à la villa Médicis à Rome pendant trois ans et demi4, il voyage et grave au burin l'illustration d'une édition de luxe des sonnets de Shakespeare traduits en français par François-Victor Hugo, préfacé par André Maurois (éditions Henri Javal, 1954). Revenu à Paris en 1955, il réalise la mise en page et l'illustration au burin et à l'aquatinte d'un livre de poèmes de Philippe de Rothschild, Éclos à l'aube. En 1956 il part pour le Liban comme conseiller artistique et technique de l'Imprimerie catholique de Beyrouth, au cours de cette période il effectue différents séjours en Égypte et en Asie mineure. En 1957, il signe un contrat comme conseiller artistique attaché au service des publications du ministère de la Culture en Colombie. Il est chargé par ailleurs de la conception et de la réalisation de 20 vitraux destinés à l'église coloniale San Francisco de Bogotà, qu'il mène à bien selon la technique traditionnelle avec l'aide d'un maitre-verrier. Il exécute aussi les fresques de l'hôtel Tonchalà à Cucuta et dirige la restauration de 200 tableaux appartenant aux diverses églises de l'époque coloniale colombienne. Il devient par la suite directeur artistique des éditions de la compagnie Seguros Colombia et de la banque Banco de construccion y desarrollo à Bogotà. Attiré par l'immensité et la diversité des paysages colombiens, il visite les Llanos, l'Amazonie et les régions les plus reculées du Magdalena et du Huila : San Augustin et Tierradentro, vastes zones archéologiques, d'où il rapporte de nombreux croquis de sculptures monumentales et de fresques des nécropoles, qui viennent compléter ceux pris au musée national et au musée de l'or de Bogota. Ce long travail est à l'origine de la collection des Estampes précolombiennes, à laquelle il se consacre dès son retour en France en 1966, et dont le premier volume paru en avril 1967 est présenté à la galerie-librairie de Gérard Mourgue à Paris5. La même année, pour se détendre du travail minutieux de la gravure, il réalise une fresque dans le patio de la villa Joya d'Alexandre Reza à Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Il est alors nommé professeur de dessin à l'École nationale d'art décoratifs de Nice où il reste jusqu'en 1968, puis il obtient un poste — chargé de cours « Formes et graphismes » — à la faculté de Vincennes en 1969. Il fait transporter sa presse, achetée avant son départ pour la villa Médicis et rangée chez ses parents, dans l'atelier de sa nouvelle maison au Thillay. Atteint de maladie de la moelle osseuse, il est hospitalisé durant des mois. En réaction à la souffrance et à l'immobilité, il dessine alors quantité de croquis à la pointe bic qui seront autant d'études pour ses futures gravures. Les plus grands spécialistes le condamnent à très court terme, mais il guérit et reprend ses activités. Il se spécialise alors dans la réalisation de décorations murales en cuivres gravés de 10 à 20 m2 installées dans plusieurs facultés et lycées au Havre, Poitiers, Niort, Granville, ainsi qu'un monumental mobile...

Ukrainian artist Mykola Zhuravel breaks the boundaries between painting and sculpture, performance and installation art. Zhuravel turns to nature to create thriving monuments to man’s links to the Earth itself. He searches for compatibility between Earth and mankind, while pointedly making reference to the obstacles that human beings have placed in the way of a harmonious existence. Zhuravel’s ambitious style results in a remarkable series of living images of a visionary utopia. By using levkas, a traditional primer employed by icon painters, Zhuravel unites the legacies of Byzantine and Rus icon painting with his contemporary painterly technique. The result, richly vibrant and inventive contemporary works that emerge as modern-day icons.
