Fosse… anche l’unico canto libero di Ophelia lasciami sfumare così infiorata di mia follia in assolo del fato che mi trascina via... ~ Catherine La Rose© ~ Friedrich Wilhelm Theodor Heyser was a German painter from Gnoien/Dresden. He began studying at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts under Leon Pohle and Paul Mohn. After initially spending three years in Dresden, he attended the Kunsthochschule in Karlsruhe and then the Académie Julian in Paris. After completing his studies Heyser devoted himself mainly to portraits and historical paintings. Among the portrayed were numerous prominent figures such as Prince Regent Albrecht of Braunschweig, Prince Albrecht of Prussia and Prince Johann Georg of Saxony. In addition, Heyser created genre pictures, whose representations were based on German poetry, for example, "The Fisherman" after Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1886).

Auguste Toulmouche’s 1866 painting “The Hesitant Fiancée” is making the rounds on TikTok FYPs across the globe, inviting women of all ages to not only marvel at and meme-ify the bride’s pissed off scowl, but see themselves in it, too.

Hu Jundi was born in 1962 in Juilin Province, China. He graduated from Sichuan Fine Art Institute in 1984. Hu’s work has been exhibited and collected in China and other Asian countries as well as in Europe and America. His work is different from the oil paintings that we often see. His brilliance is in the harmonious blend of traditional Chinese brushwork with the unmatched depth of oils. His paintings are completely Chinese, with colors of the Sichuan environment. They are harmonious with incomplete borders. So when we first see these paintings, we feel the combination of the light, color and flow of the East, but the oils give them a more universal, lasting appeal. Hu is one of the first and very few Chinese painters that are able to brilliantly meld the two cultures together with complete integrity. Hu’s work is full of dense Chinese colors -- the lush atmosphere and Sichuan’s warm moisture are floating in the paintings — and this hooks the audience instantly to his canvas melodies. He paints elegant, serene and beautiful Sichuan women. The attire is classical Sichuan Chinese, but there is an appeal that goes beyond. He does not use models. He paints the character in his mind, searching from a person in his life. He chooses the most wonderful moment in his mind and paints it. Catching a moment -- this is the Chinese painting skill. It is much more difficult to do it with oil paintings. It took years of patient trial and error, along with his immense talent, to achieve this mastery. HU JUNDI BIOGRAPHY Hu Jundi was born in Jilin province in 1962. EDUCATION: He graduated from Sichuan Fine Arts College, Chongqing, in 1984. EXHIBITIONS: Beijing International Art Exhibition in Beijing Art China Exhibition in Chendu China Autumn of Jia De Exhibition in Guangzhou Shanghai 6th Art Exhibition in Shanghai Sichuan Oil Painting Exhibition in Chendu Third Oil Painting Exhibition in Beijing Seventh Shanghai Art Exhibition in Shanghai Solo show at Hallmark Galleries, San Diego California USA Solo show at Arte De Vignettes, Las Vegas Nevada USA. Was awarded “Artist of the Year” by Sunrise Children’s Foundation. PUBLICATIONS: Many of Hu’s works and comments were published in Art World, Chinese Oil Painting, Artists, Art Search, etc. Hu Jundi Oil Painting Works was published by Tianjin People’s Art Publishing House. COMMENTS FROM THE CRITICS: “Most talented master. His work is full of dense Chinese colors and lush atmosphere. Sichuan’s warm and moist air is floating through his paintings. I was captivated instantly to the melodies on his canvas.” -- Zhong Biao, Artist, Director, Chonqing Art Museum. “Hu’s works are beautiful inside and outside because he knows how to control emotions with a brush. He has the ability to ‘fathom’ a word and image, go deeper into the meaning to convey it with paint: it is thinner here, it is thicker there, it is deeper here and it is misty there... “He uses his eyes to “listen” like a musician. These paintings tell and color the poem.” -- Zhao Benjia. “Songs and poems touch me, I want to paint the poem and the song” – Hun Jun Di. In fact the poems and the songs are in his heart. He expresses them on the canvas. http://www.mandarinfineart.com/hujundibio.htm

On September 13, Cotton Candy Machine in Brooklyn will open a group show, "Allegorical Quarter," featuring four artists with a penchant for narrative: Jeremy Hush, Michael Michael Motorcycle, Dilek Baykara and Paul Romano. While Michael Michael Motorcycle and Paul Romano's works pulse with vivid colors and textures, Jeremy Hush opts for a more subdued palate in his haunting mixed-media works and Dilek Baykara creates an ambiance of 1930s-tinged mysticism with pen-and-ink. Take a look at a sneak peek of "Allegorical Quarter" below and see the exhibition September 13 through October 6. See more after the jump.

German painter Peter Wever received his training at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, Ireland, followed by travels in the United States and Guatemala. Wever is known for his color etchings often dealing with relationships. His work has warmth, and often a touch of humour. Wever's dynamic art is an interesting mix of printmaking and paint.
