NGA-Jacques-Emile Blanche painted portraits of many artists and writers, including this portrait, Charles Shannon and Charles Ricketts. Lifelong friends and partners Ricketts and Shannon shared a collection of art and antiquities. Blanche wrote: ‘Their flat was filled with exquisite things; Persian miniatures, Tangara figures, Egyptian antiques, jewels, and medals, which millionaires had overlooked.’ Oscar Wilde was a frequent visitor to their house, remarking that it was ‘the one house in London where you will never be bored.’  (Blanche, 1937)

Works


Maternité VII



***

Margriet Smulders is best known for her self-portraits and photographs of her family. Her constructed portraits of domestic life were included in the exhibition "Who's looking at the Family? at the Barbican Art Gallery, London in 1994 . Like Sally Mann she featured her own family in this series. She specializes in portrait photography, mostly portraying family portraits and working people proud in heir work and their relationships. She currently lives and works in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Like the works of other contemporary Dutch photographers, such as Rineke Dijkstra, Desiree Dolron, and Carla van den Puttelaar her works show influences of Dutch Golden Age painting in their composition, use of light and color, and rendering of textures and surfaces.

To achieve her photographic effects, she utilizes film rather than digital photography. Most of her works are titled mythological figures or dedicated to inspirational painters, enhancing the effect of alienation, while retaining a strong element of eroticism.

Since 1999 when she saw an exhibition on voluptuous Dutch floral still-lives of the seventeenth century at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam she has worked on an ongoing series of floral still life photographs. Her photographs of flowers are highly ambivalent. Inspired by the classical arrangements of the seventeenth century still lifes Margriet Smulders arranges theaters of flowers on big mirrors, using silk and inks which comment on beauty and decay. The flowers float and appear to be on the edge of disintegration.

Bio

"Juan Gatti was born in Buenos Aires in 1950. After graduating in Visual Arts in Buenos Aires, he worked there as a graphic designer and art director until 1978 when he moved to work and live in New York for a year.

In 1980 he settled in Madrid where he worked as art director for the music label CBS Spain until 1985. In 1985 he opened his own studio and began to work as a graphic designer, art director and photographer for brands such as Sybilla, Martine Sitbon, Chloe, Karl Lagerfeld, Jesus del Pozo, Loewe, Zara and Elena Benarroch.

From 1988 he started graphic design projects on films by Pedro Almodovar. He also worked with other film directors like John Malkovich. In 1995 he managed the graphic design for Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman's 'Celluloid Closet' cinema documentary and in 1996 he designed the billboard poster for New York's 34th Film Festival. During the period between 1989 and 1990, he was also in charge of Italian Vogue's creative direction and in 1992 he collaborated on French Glamour's visual identity.

He has collaborated regularly with Visionnaire and with other Conde Nast publications (Vanity Fair, Vogue, GQ) as well as others like Elle USA, Interview and Newsweek.
In 1996 he designed the album and directed the video-clip of The Negresses Vertes 'Mambo Show'.

He has also collaborated with the prestigious publisher Schirmer/Mosel, for which he has designed various books of Peter Lindbergh's works. Alongside this work he has designed many photo exhibitions, including exhibitions of Peter Lindbergh's photos in Tokyo, Berlin and Hamburg.
In 2002 he managed the art direction for the Pirelli Calendar.
The very same year, American Premiere elected his 'Habla con ella' poster best cinema poster of 2002.
In 2004 he was awarded the Spanish National Design Prize.

Juan Gatti's longstanding collaboration with Almodovar has enabled the development of an intense artistic complicity between art director and film director, to the extent that Juan Gatti's artworks directly influence the outcome and aesthetics of Almodovar's films.

Juan Gatti has recently completed a new book on Spanish Fashion and is currently working on campaigns and portfolios for different magazines, as well as on an exhaustive book on Pedro Almodovar." (c) Michele Filomeno

"Flowers" by ©Rikard Osterlund



The 'Flowers' series is a contemporary rephrasing of the vanitas flower piece, inspired by the Dutch flower painters of the late 17th Century. The flower arrangements here are made up entirely of artificial flowers, silk and plastic, alongside toy flies, snakes and other reptiles. Every detail of the photographs is intended to mimic that which it is not; not natural, not the original, not a painting, not in a great British art museum. The plastic flowers become a symbol of our contemporary excesses, and willingness to replace the real with an easy-to-care-for copy.




"Bronze position in the Series category went to Rikard Osterlund for his series "Flowers", which is a contemporary rephrasing of the vanitas flower piece and was inspired by the Dutch flower painters of the late 17th Century."(c)... read more
