Pamela Pindell was born in 1950 in Elkhart, Indiana.  Her initial education was at Syracuse University and the Tyler School of Art in Rome, Italy. The latter gave her work a Classical Renaissance background, which she fused with subsequent Boston School training with Sydney Willis (a student of Robert Douglas Hunter), and with Robert Cormier. 

A Massachusetts artist, she has been exhibited widely in open juried shows, including annuals of the Salmagundi Club, the Catherine Lorrillard Wolfe Art Club, and the Audubon Society. 

Her commercial exhibitions include eight previous solo and dual shows at Tree's Place. Among many prizes, Pindell has won four major awards within the last five years from the Guild of Boston Artists, including the prestigious Edmund Tarbell award.  


She resides and maintains her studio in Massachusetts. More on Pamela Pindell

01 Painting, Streets of Paris, by the artists of the time, Part 40 - With Footnotes

Pierre Bonnard, (French, 1867–1947) Title:

AU CAFE, c. 1900

Oil on Panel

29.2 x 29.8 cm. (11.5 x 11.7 in.)
Private collection

Pierre Bonnard (3 October 1867 — 23 January 1947) was a French painter and printmaker, as well as a founding member of the Post-Impressionist group of avant-garde painters Les Nabis. Bonnard preferred to work from memory, using drawings as a reference, and his paintings are often characterized by a dreamlike quality. The intimate domestic scenes, for which he is perhaps best known, often include his wife Marthe de Meligny.

Bonnard has been described as "the most thoroughly idiosyncratic of all the great twentieth- century painters", and the unusual vantage points of his compositions rely less on traditional modes of pictorial structure than voluptuous color, poetic allusions and visual wit. Identified as a late practitioner of Impressionism in the early 20th century, Bonnard has since been recognized for his unique use of color and his complex imagery. More on Pierre Bonnard

He received critical acclaim for his work, and was honored with one-man exhibitions in Ukraine’s capital Kiev, and in Moscow, Russia.

01 Paintings, MODERN & CONTEMPORARY MIDDLE EASTERN ART, With Footnotes - 2a

Kamel Moustafa, (Egypt, 1917-1982)

Cairo Street Scene

oil on board, signed lower left

48 x 49cm (18 7/8 x 19 5/16in)
Private collection

Although this work is undated it has been suggested that it was executed in the early 1950s.

Kamel Moustafa belongs to the second generation of Modern Egyptian artists who sit between the Pioneers such as Mahmoud Said, Youssef Kamel and Mohammed Naghi and the Surrealists, Abdul Hadi El-Gazzar, Samir Rafi and Hamed Nada.

Following the 1952 revolution this new group of artists found themselves operating in a new window of freedom whose aim was to express national personality through symbolism. They emphasised the aesthetics of the new Egyptian society, which for the first time had managed to break away from foreign rule, local nepotism and privileged society. 

The artist was born and studied in Alexandria where his talent was first recognized. He was later encouraged by Mahmoud Said to join the Cairo School of Fine Arts in 1936 and graduated five years later. From 1936 the artist spent ten years working in Cairo painting a wide-range of subjects in an impressionist style including traditional scenes from the city and rural life; weddings, souks, markets, folk dances and other elements of traditional Egyptian life.

Between 1946 and 1950 Moustafa travelled to Italy for further study, returning in the early 1950s to resume his work until his death in Alexandria in 1982. More on Kamel Moustafa

Jean Kevorkian, (French, b. 1933)

Paris, la Seine, vu de Notre Dame

Oil on canvas

23-3/4 x 28-1/2 inches (60.3 x 72.4 cm)

Private collection

View from the top of Notre Dame Cathedral showing the Seine River and the Eiffel Tower; and the Notre Dame Bridge over the Seine, constructed in 1919 at the site of the very first bridge built in the city, and Pont au Change

Jean Kevorkian was born Paris on 7th May 1933. Kevorkian is one of France’s more successful contemporary painters. He is self taught and began painting at an early age, encouraged by his parents. His last name suggests Armenian roots, but his life and education have been entirely French.

Many years of his life have been spent in Brittany, in the region of St Malo and Cape Finistere, which has developed his interest and talent in marine subjects. His particular skill in conveying the atmosphere of the changing seasons distinguishes his work: The Ile de France, the banks of the Seine and Oise in Autumn and Winter are favourite themes.

He has received many prizes for his paintings in France, including Firsts in 1978, 1980 and 1981 with a ‘Diplome d’Honneur’ in 1980. Exhibitions of his paintings have been mainly in Paris and the provinces of France although examples of his work can be found in private collections in many countries. More on Jean Kevorkian

Frederick Arthur Bridgman (November 10, 1847 - 1928) was an American artist, born in Tuskegee, Alabama. The son of a physician, Bridgman would become one of the United States' most well-known and well-regarded painters and become known as one of the world's most talented "Orientalist" painters. He began as a draughtsman in New York City, for the American Bank Note Company in 1864-1865, and studied art in the same years at the Brooklyn Art Association and at the National Academy of Design; but he went to Paris in 1866 and became a pupil of Jean-Leon Gerome. Paris then became his headquarters. A trip to Egypt in 1873-1874 resulted in pictures of the East that attracted immediate attention, and his large and important composition, The Funeral Procession of a Mummy on the Nile, in the Paris Salon (1877), bought by James Gordon Bennett, brought him the Cross of the Legion of Honor. Other paintings by him were An American Circus in Normandy, Procession of the Bull Apis (now in the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.), and a Rumanian Lady (in the Temple collection, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania).

01 Painting, Streets of Paris, by the artists of the time, Part 36 - With Footnotes

Eugène Galien-Laloue, 1854-1941, FRENCH

LE MARCHÉ AUX FLEURS

Watercolour and gouache on paper

20.5 by 33cm., 8 by 13in.

Private property

The famous “Flowers and Birds Market (Marché aux fleurs et aux oiseaux)” has been located since 1808 on the Ile de la Cité, Place Louis Lépine, and Quai de la Corse along the Seine. Halfway between a covered and open-air market, the flower market is made up of six 1900-era pavilions, around tree-lined walkways. In these stalls, you can find a very wide variety of flowers, plants, and shrubs, and even decorative items, especially around Christmas. 

Since June 7, 2014, on the occasion of the state visit of the British Queen Elizabeth II who came to commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day, this market has been renamed. Indeed, during her visit to the market, the British head of state unveiled a new street sign with the name “Marché aux fleurs Reine Elizabeth II (Queen Elizabeth II Flower Market)”, which does nothing to detract from the authenticity of the place. More on the Marché aux fleurs

Eugène Galien-Laloue (1854–1941) was a French artist of French-Italian parents and was born in Paris on December 11, 1854. He was a populariser of street scenes, usually painted in autumn or winter. His paintings of the early 1900s accurately represent the era in which he lived: a happy, bustling Paris, la Belle Époque, with horse-drawn carriages, trolley cars and its first omnibuses. Galien-Laloue's works are valued not only for their contribution to 20th-century art, but for the actual history, which they document. His work can be seen at the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Louvier; Musée des Beaux-Arts, La Rochelle; Mulhouse, France. 

A typical Galien-Laloue painting depicts sidewalks and avenues crowded with people or tourists mingling before the capital's monuments. He also painted the landscapes of Normandy and Seine-et-Marne, as well as military scenes he was commissioned to produce in 1914. The Republic of France selected Galien-Laloue to work as a 'war artist,' both during the Franco-Prussian War and World War I, chiefly in watercolor. More on Eugène Galien-Laloue
