Richard Miller was an American artist that gained acclaim in the Parisian art world. Born in St. Louis Missouri on March 22, 1875 Miller was raised to have an appreciation of the fine arts. When his appreciation turned into a desire for a career he enrolled in the St. Louis School of Fine Arts. After completing his education in St. Louis, Miller moved to Paris. In 1899 he enrolled at Julian's and studied there for the following year.
Like many young artists of his time he was greatly influenced by James Abbott McNeill Whistler. Yet his stay in Paris began to affect his art and a definite similarity to the portraits of Claude Monet can be observed. By 1910 Miller was painting women only, in pairs or singly specifically in interior settings.
Sunny Morning is a perfect example of such paintings. It shows a female figure in a leisurely position looking at her necklace. The painting is created in soft hues mostly pastel and the lighting creates an affect of early morning sunlight. The painterly strokes are reminiscent of the Impressionist movement. The figure seems to be contemplating the jewelry and has focused all attention on the object between her fingers. It is a very delicate scene that evokes a soothing feel when viewed.
Miller was highly respected in French circles and was made a Knight of the French Legion of Honor. His paintings were purchased by friends, artists, and government offices, this displayed his wide appeal during his career. Richard Miller died in 1943 at the age of 67 while living in Provincetown, Massachusetts. His death marked a great loss for the other American artists of his time.

Высаживая маки на самых известных городских площадях столиц мира, Kenzo Parfums, символом которого является этот цветок, приносит в город поэзию и чистоту природы.
Поля маков впервые появились в Париже на площади перед Центром Джорджа Помпиду в мае 2001 года, затем в Сингапуре осенью того же года, в Гонконге и Милане в 2002 году, и в мае 2003 в Лондоне.

А жизнь так хороша
Born in Sydney, Australia, in 1959, Gil Bruvel's French-born parents moved the family back to the south of France when he was 4 years old. While taking drawing lessons at age 9 and learning sculpture basics, Gil made the decision to spend his life creating art. There he found himself inspired by the light and landscapes in this region. He began working with oil paint at the age of 12 and the local environment had an enormous and lasting influence on his palette –giving him luminous colors he continues to use today.
Gil's father, being a cabinetmaker, introduced the budding artist to the inner workings of a wood workshop including furniture design, its practical function, and every aspect of hand crafting each piece. Taking this knowledge and experience with him, Gil began studies at an art restoration workshop 1974, spending the next three years learning the techniques of the Old Masters and modern Masters of fine art. Thereafter he set up his studio in St. Remy de Provence until 1986 when he first made his way to the United States, making it his permanent residence in 1990.
At that time he started to experiment more with sculptures in bronze, mixed media and digital modeling as well as continuing to learn about creative processes in artistic expression.
