Self-educated artist, born in New York in 1930, Willy Aractingi started to paint the fables of Jean of the Fountain on January 15, 1989. He finishes the colossal work of the 246 fables at the end of 1995, that is to say seven years of labour. To our knowledge, he is the only artist to have painted all the fables oils some on fabric. Today still, it continues to illustrate, either the fables, most known, or those which it sees of another angle, with more technique and of maturity. The work of the Fountain the fascine by its morals, its humour and its side rascal. Also, very continuously to develop the topic of the fables, Willy Aractingi started to illustrate the tales in 1998. Naturally, in ten years, one will notice an evolution of the style Willy Aractingi is died in Barcelona on June 26, 2003. |

Duncan Grant was born in Scotland in 1885. His father was a major in the army, and much of his early childhood was spent in India and Burma. He returned to England in 1894 to attend school. Grant showed little enthusiasm for studying but enjoyed art classes. He was encouraged by his art teacher and also his aunt Lady Strachey, who organised private drawing lessons for him. Eventually, he was allowed to follow his desire to become an artist, rather than joining the army as his father wished, and he attended Westminster School of Art in 1902. Grant's cousins the Stracheys, with whom he had spent summer holidays as a schoolboy, played an important part in his life during this period. He spent the summer of 1905 with ,Lytton Strachey and around the same time Pippa Strachey took Duncan to a meeting of the Friday Club where he first met the Bloomsbury artists Duncan Grant was a central figure in the Bloomsbury group. He studied at Westminster and the Slade School of Art. Moved to 21 Fitzroy Square in 1909 and thereafter became a regular at Virginia and Adrian's Thursday evening gatherings. Sharing with Roger Fry and Vanessa Bell a commitment to the decorative arts as well as to painting on canvas, he became the co-director of the Omega Workshops in 1913. |

Isherwood was born and lived in Wigan, Lancashire. There he maintained a gallery where he painted and from which he sold his prolific output. He also travelled throughout the UK, holding innumerable 1-man shows. Where he travelled, he painted. As an artist, he was essentially a self-taught, intuitive person of considerable talent. He had the capacity to capture a site, a setting, a mood in a few quick brushstrokes. This he regularly did in exchange for lunch and beer money. During the 1970`s Isherwood travelled abroad, mainly to Malta and Spain. this painting comes from that period.
Currently, Isherwood's work is undergoing a reassessment. His vivid use of colour, his capturing of passing dress and scenes of northern, industrial England and, at his best, the probing of the narrow line between abstractionism and realism in painting, link Isherwood to contemporary and later artists like Colin Moss, John Bellany and John Houston. |

Quote from Padraig MacMiadhachain: "I have painted all my working life; I love painting, and I have managed to live by it. I make some good paintings and loads of rubbish too (hopefully you won't ever see the latter). I seem to have two moods in working ; my usual love of pale greys and warm blacks that are all around me in Dorset and Cornwall, my lifelong fascination with fishing harbours and all their, to me, lovely smells (which I cannot paint). ...and the colour and buzz of Buenos Aires and their ice cream and its fantastic colours, these bright colours have carried over into my recent paintings made in St. Ives and elsewhere." |
