Franz Marc 1880-1916: The Visionary of the Blue Rider
"Franz Marc (1880-1916) was a key figure in the German Expressionist movement of the early 20th century. Marc was a founding member of the expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter along with other great artists of the time: Wassily Kandinsky, August Macke, and Alexej von Jawlensky. A brilliant use of colour along with stark futurist and cubist styles create the distinct qualities that make Marc a master of modern art. Symbolising masculinity, femininity, and violence among his calm and bucolic animal subjects, Marc's unique and creative use of colour and meaning will forever have a firm place in art history."

Amedeo Modigliani: Bohemian Beauty and Tragic Genius
"Equally famous for his masterful canvasses and tumultuous mental health, Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) was, in many ways, the prototypical tortured artist. A lifelong sufferer of painfully degenerative tuberculosis, Modigliani was famous for denying his disease with a frenzied bohemian lifestyle of hard drinking, drug abuse, and passionate love affairs. But at the same time, he managed to produce some of the modern movement's most enduring masterpieces, and today his work sells for record-breaking sums whenever it comes up for auction. In this fascinating examination of Modigliani's life and works, Klaus H. Carl, Frances Alexander, and Jane Rogoyska turn their penetrating gaze on this most enigmatic of artistic geniuses. Their insightful text is accompanied by extracts from D.H. Lawrence's highly sensual novel Lady Chatterley's Lover, chosen to complement Modigliani's art and to give a new perspective to it."

Chaïm Soutine: The Torn Canvas of Expressionism
"Chaïm Soutine (1893-1943), the unconventional and controversial painter of Belorussian origin, combines influences of classic European painting with Post-Impressionism and Expressionism. As a member of the Artists from Belarus, a group within the Parisian School, he created an oeuvre mainly consisting of landscapes, still lifes, and portraits. His individual style, characterised by displays of humour and despair and by use of luminous colours, makes him a modern master who is still little understood."

[French] - Amedeo Modigliani: Beauté bohème et génie tragique
"Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920), également célèbre pour ses toiles magistrales et sa santé mentale tumultueuse, était, à bien des égards, l'artiste prototypique torturé. Souffrant d'une tuberculose douloureuse et dégénérative depuis toujours, Modigliani était célèbre pour avoir nié sa maladie avec un style de vie bohème frénétique, celui de la consommation excessive d'alcool, de la toxicomanie et des amours passionnées. Mais en même temps, il a réussi à produire quelques-uns des chefs-d'œuvre les plus durables du mouvement moderne, et aujourd'hui, son travail se vend à des sommes record à chaque fois qu'il est mis aux enchères. Dans cet examen fascinant de la vie et des œuvres de Modigliani, Klaus H. Carl, Frances Alexander et Jane Rogoyska tournent leur regard pénétrant sur ce génie artistique des plus énigmatiques. Leur texte perspicace est accompagné d'extraits du roman hautement sensuel de D.H. Lawrence, Lady Chatterley's Lover, choisis pour compléter l'art de Modigliani et lui donner une nouvelle perspective."

[French] - Chaïm Soutine: La toile déchirée de l'expressionnisme
"Chaïm Soutine (1893-1943), peintre d'origine biélorusse, inconventionnel et controversé, combine influences de la peinture classique européenne avec postimpressionnisme et expressionnisme. En tant que membre des artistes de Belarus, un groupe de l'école de paris, il a créé une œuvre principalement composée de paysages, de natures mortes et de portraits. Son style individuel caractérisé par l'humour, le désespoir et par l'utilisation de couleurs vives, en fait un maître moderne qui est encore aujourd'hui peu compris."
