WALLY FINDLAY GALLERIES 124 East 57th Street, New York, NY (212) 421 5390 [email protected] Aïzpiri Paul Aïzpiri (b. 1919) was born in Paris on May 14, 1919. Aïzpiri entered l’École Bulle to learn antique restoration, after his father insisted that he first learn a trade as a means of assuring his livelihood. After the course he entered the Beaux-Arts to study painting. Aïzpiri was certainly encouraged as a young painter in his early 20’s, during somber war-torn France, exhibiting amongst the painters of l’École Pont-Aven and the Nabis. He became a member of the Salon d’Automne in 1945, won Third Prize at the Salon de Moins de Trente Ans, of which he was a founding member and later showed at the Salon “Les Peintres Témoin de leur Temps”. In 1948, Aïzpiri won the Prix Corsica which allowed him to go to Marseilles. His stay there so impressed him, that he declared it was a turning point of his art. Not only did he find a whole new world to paint which was far different subjectively from any life he had known in Paris, but also a new world of color.

  • Christian Dior Why Would Bernard Arnault Invest
    A work project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Master Degree in International Finance from the NOVA – School of Business and Economics CHRISTIAN DIOR WHY WOULD BERNARD ARNAULT INVEST BILLIONS ON A NAME HE ALREADY HOLDS? CAROLINA MARQUES BARREIROS – 4134 / 24015 A Project carried out on the Master in Finance Program, under the supervision of: Paulo Pinho January 2019 Tuesday, April 25th 2017i. Bernard Arnault decided to go shopping. On the menu, a double operation that aims to simplify the ties that unite the group LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton), Christian Dior and its owner Bernard Arnault. The first transaction consists of an offer worth about €12.1 billion from the holding company controlled by Arnault Family Group to take over of the remaining 25.9% stake Christian Dior. The second one on the strengthening of LVMH group through the acquisition of the Christian Dior Couture for €6.5 billionii. However, a question remains: why would Bernard Arnault invest billions on a name he already holds? LVMH “The LVMH group is the world’s leading luxury goods company, the result of successive alliances among companies that, from generation to generation, have successfully combined traditions of excellence and creative passion with a cosmopolitan flair and a spirit of conquest.” - LVMH websiteiii Born out of the merger of Louis Vuitton and the Moët Hennessy group in 1987, the LVMH group led by Bernard Arnault is the world’s largest luxury conglomerate in terms of turnover (Exhibit 1). In 2016, the consolidated revenue of LVMH group was €37.6 billioniv, 5% more than in 2015 (Exhibit 2).

  • Press Release for Immediate Use
    Press Release For immediate use Impulses Towards Life Drawing and painting from the Edinburgh College of Art Collection 31 October – 19 December 2015 Bounding 100 years, Impulses Towards Life emphasises the reimagining of the human form in the last century, including early drawings by William McTaggart, John Bellany, Kirkland Main, Elizabeth Blackadder, Henry Moore and many others; and centred upon a work by Barbara Hepworth that has not been exhibited publicly for 65 years. Based on the Edinburgh College of Art Collection the exhibition accentuates the underlying practice of life drawing studies – a central pillar of art education – and is inclined towards the 1950s and 1960s when the majority of the collection was produced or collected. Also including paintings by Augustus Edwin John, Samuel John Peploe, David McClure, Anne Redpath and David Michie the exhibition outlines an evolving and ongoing negotiation between artists, education and the body. Establishing a backdrop for the exhibition are three prize-winning drawings completed in the 1850s at the Trustees Academy in Edinburgh. These works reflect the classical foundation for artists’ depictions of the body, featuring casts that would become an iconic part of the College’s physical environment. Art students in the second half of the 19th Century – including John Houston, John Mooney, Edward Gage and Kenneth Dingwall – were still required to take part in Life Drawing classes as part of their formal training and assessment, whilst also responding to the imperatives of modernism. By the 1950s debates on the relationship between art and the body centred upon the importance of tactility in understanding art.

  • DAVID MICHIE Memorial Exhibition
    DAVID MICHIE DAVID DAVID MICHIE Memorial Exhibition The Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh DAVID MICHIE (1928-2015) Memorial Exhibition 1 March – 1 April 2017 16 Dundas Street · Edinburgh EH3 6HZ +44 (0) 131 558 1200 [email protected] www.scottish-gallery.co.uk Front cover: Summer Garden, 1990, oil on canvas, 132 x 152.5 cms (detail) (cat. 26) Left: Self Portrait II, c.1958, chalk drawing, 36.5 x 26.5 cms (detail) (cat. 6) FOREWORD A memorial exhibition should not be a sombre affair and with the subject being the life and work of David Michie our exhibition for March 2017 could not be anything but a joyous celebration, as the succeeding pages should attest. David was a devoted son to his mother Anne Redpath, the happiest of married men with his wife Eileen, the best of fathers to his girls (who have all our thanks for helping prepare this tribute) and a friend to so many, including succeeding staff at The Scottish Gallery. One of whom, Robin McClure, writes a warm introduction over the page. This generosity of heart sprang from David’s intense interest in people: he had much to say but always as part of a conversation. But whatever he was saying he was also looking, a sketchbook seldom far from hand and what he saw and remembered or recorded helped him develop his own visual language to describe many aspects of natural phenomena but also his own feelings. A natural modesty could make him a reluctant exhibitor but the exuberance and colour in his work seeks out the light and attests to a life well lived, full of optimism and creative fulfilment.
