 LOT 154 - "The Red Horse" | Marc Chagall was prolific as a painter, a talented printmaker, an unbound stained glass artist and even a very skilled set and costume designer for the theatre and ballet. His work was motivated by two very particular combinations of subject matter and personal imagery. Chagall displays a liberated and fantastically unique imagination, when inspired by his subject matter.

LOT 77 - "Nu Bleus I" | Henri Matisse is commonly regarded, along with Picasso and Marcel Duchamp, as one of the three artists who helped to define the revolutionary developments in the plastic arts in the opening decades of the 20th century. Although he was initially labeled a Fauve (wild beast) and faced rejected from the early vanguards of art, by the 1920s he was increasingly hailed as an upholder of the classical tradition in French painting.

Miró draws inspiration on an (unconscious) memory source of natural and landscape forms, which suggest a generative power of nature.

He has been on the forefront of major national events, creating emblematic images that captured the spirit of the 60’s. His impact on the world of art is often compared to the Beatle’s influence on music during the same period. In fact, Peter Max used the Beatles as the subject in many of his creations to depict that heyday of the band and culture’s obsession with them
