Auguste Toulmouche’s 1866 painting “The Hesitant Fiancée” is making the rounds on TikTok FYPs across the globe, inviting women of all ages to not only marvel at and meme-ify the bride’s pissed off scowl, but see themselves in it, too.
Hu Jundi was born in 1962 in Juilin Province, China. He graduated from Sichuan Fine Art Institute in 1984. Hu’s work has been exhibited and collected in China and other Asian countries as well as in Europe and America. His work is different from the oil paintings that we often see. His brilliance is in the harmonious blend of traditional Chinese brushwork with the unmatched depth of oils. His paintings are completely Chinese, with colors of the Sichuan environment. They are harmonious with incomplete borders. So when we first see these paintings, we feel the combination of the light, color and flow of the East, but the oils give them a more universal, lasting appeal. Hu is one of the first and very few Chinese painters that are able to brilliantly meld the two cultures together with complete integrity. Hu’s work is full of dense Chinese colors -- the lush atmosphere and Sichuan’s warm moisture are floating in the paintings — and this hooks the audience instantly to his canvas melodies. He paints elegant, serene and beautiful Sichuan women. The attire is classical Sichuan Chinese, but there is an appeal that goes beyond. He does not use models. He paints the character in his mind, searching from a person in his life. He chooses the most wonderful moment in his mind and paints it. Catching a moment -- this is the Chinese painting skill. It is much more difficult to do it with oil paintings. It took years of patient trial and error, along with his immense talent, to achieve this mastery. HU JUNDI BIOGRAPHY Hu Jundi was born in Jilin province in 1962. EDUCATION: He graduated from Sichuan Fine Arts College, Chongqing, in 1984. EXHIBITIONS: Beijing International Art Exhibition in Beijing Art China Exhibition in Chendu China Autumn of Jia De Exhibition in Guangzhou Shanghai 6th Art Exhibition in Shanghai Sichuan Oil Painting Exhibition in Chendu Third Oil Painting Exhibition in Beijing Seventh Shanghai Art Exhibition in Shanghai Solo show at Hallmark Galleries, San Diego California USA Solo show at Arte De Vignettes, Las Vegas Nevada USA. Was awarded “Artist of the Year” by Sunrise Children’s Foundation. PUBLICATIONS: Many of Hu’s works and comments were published in Art World, Chinese Oil Painting, Artists, Art Search, etc. Hu Jundi Oil Painting Works was published by Tianjin People’s Art Publishing House. COMMENTS FROM THE CRITICS: “Most talented master. His work is full of dense Chinese colors and lush atmosphere. Sichuan’s warm and moist air is floating through his paintings. I was captivated instantly to the melodies on his canvas.” -- Zhong Biao, Artist, Director, Chonqing Art Museum. “Hu’s works are beautiful inside and outside because he knows how to control emotions with a brush. He has the ability to ‘fathom’ a word and image, go deeper into the meaning to convey it with paint: it is thinner here, it is thicker there, it is deeper here and it is misty there... “He uses his eyes to “listen” like a musician. These paintings tell and color the poem.” -- Zhao Benjia. “Songs and poems touch me, I want to paint the poem and the song” – Hun Jun Di. In fact the poems and the songs are in his heart. He expresses them on the canvas. http://www.mandarinfineart.com/hujundibio.htm

A rolled canvas print is normally stretched on wood stretcher bars, whereas archival paper prints are not. Additionally, a stretched canvas can be framed, but it doesn't need to be. Thus, our rolled canvas prints come in their advertized size + mirrored edges by default for easy stretching. Prefer a cut to size rolled canvas print instead, because you want to frame it in a traditional fine art frame behind glass? Then just type ''cut to size'' in our personalization box (listing top right ''add your personalization''). Note that our rolled canvas prints do not come with stretcher bars or frames. Either take it to your local framer, or stretch/frame it yourself. Other sizes than listed in our drop-down menu available upon request! Have something in mind that you don't see in our shop?

When somebody coined the phrase "whatever you do, don't forget a smile," they didn't anticipate that Joan Cornella would take this idea and take it to the unholy extremes of dark comedy. But perhaps it's for the best, since those smiles are the only thing that cushion our minds from the brutality of the images he portrays; a smile lets us feel safe while we watch the horrifically graphic scenes of his illustrations unfold. It's the only thing that reminds us that none of it is real, and despite the all-too-real sinister undertones and commentary, his style finds home in the realm of the surreal. But you probably need no description or introduction of his works; the chances are, you've probably seen them on Facebook or Instagram before. With a combined 7 million followers on social media platforms, his works are distributed far and wide by dark humor lovers. Enjoy, or don't!

Cosmopolitan magazine Illustrated by Bob Peak June 1964
Here are some beautiful illustrations from J. C. Leyendecker, the man responsible for creating the Arrow Collar Man and over 400 magazine covers from 1896-1950. The peak of his career was in the 1920s, and he would become a chief source of inspiration for (and friend of) Norman Rockwell. Unlike the other artists we've featured so far, there is considerably more information available on Leyendecker. I just used his Wikipedia page for the brief little introduction above. I just love this one! Love this! Such pretty colors and scene and dress and a dapper fella. Actually, I have yet to see a Leyendecker guy that isn't dapper. Ok, it seems Leyendecker painted jester-esque images more than the average person. And I love it. Who would think scenes with jesters could be so whimsical and romantic? Apparently Leyendecker saw a way to make that possible. Le sigh. Mhmm. Leyendecker knew how to paint handsome men just as well as beautiful women. Another favorite! Such a cute scene. And you can totally see where Rockwell was drawing his inspiration from. I think this one is great - it doesn't grab your eye due to beautiful colors or a lavishly romantic scene, but it made me look for a while, trying to figure out what was going on. You can view the scene in so many different ways! Another great one. This one also seems to be a good example of where Rockwell was influenced, in both the style and the sense of humor. He is also really good at using dramatic lighting. Not just here, but in many of the above. - Emily

Chéri Hérouard (1881-1961) was a French artist known for his numerous illustrations for the magazine La Vie Parisienne. Here are some of my favorite of his works - they're sometimes humorous, often sentimental, and always whimsical! Sorry for the watermark, it was the only version I could find of this with high resolution! That Santa Clause lurking in the corner is more than a little creepy, but everything is lovely. The Charleston dance Mmm, I love her coat and muff!! "The Season of Nests - An Error!" The Revenge of Eve / Eve's Revenge - Emily P.S - On a totally unrelated note, Gidget is on TCM this Sunday at 12 pm noon! Released in 1959, this is way past the era I usually watch in old films, but this one is a gem. Gracie introduced me to it senior year of high school (she also watched the Gidget spin-off TV show when she was a kid) and boy am I glad! I find it very charming and heartwarming, plus, Sandra Dee is just adorable! Give it a watch if you haven't already! A candid of Sandra Dee on the set of Gidget.
