Editor's Notes
- Vladimir Kush- Pillowbook Vladimir Kush (Russian, 1965) is a Russian born surrealist painter and sculptor. He studied at the Surikov Moscow Art Institute, and after several years working as an artist in Moscow, his native city, he emigrated to the United States, eventually establishing his own gallery on the island of Maui in Hawaii. His oil paintings are also sold as giclée prints which contributed to his popularity and led to the establishment of further galleries in Laguna Beach, California and Las Vegas, Nevada. In 2011 Kush won the First Prize in Painting at the Artistes du Monde international exhibition in Cannes.
- Auguste Toulmouche (September 21, 1829 - October 16, 1890) was a French painter. He studied under Charles Gleyre and is known mainly for his portraits of Parisian women; Émile Zola spoke of "Toulmouche's delicious dolls." Toulmouche was a master of contemporary fashion and fabric, delighting in the rich assortment of colours and textures afforded by the haute couture of his day. Toulmouche’s place in French art history is secured by his important influence on the early career of Claude Monet, to whom he was related by marriage. Not only did Toulmouche play a key role in persuading the young Monet to enter Gleyre’s studio at the end of 1862, he served as his artistic advisor if not mentor during the early Paris years of the great impressionist’s career.
- Born in Nantes, France, Auguste Toulmouche painted exquisitely detailed genre scenes of a specific type called costume painting. The term is an apt one, with a focus on the details of dress, fashion and accessories as much as on the heightened emotional tenor of the works. These paintings convey a decidedly romantic sensibility, and practically function as the entire chapter of a romance novel brought to life. Toulmouche was considered one of the finest artists in this style, and Emperor Napoleon III purchased one of his works, as did Empress Eugenie. The Letter of 1867 depicts a lovely young lady seated at her ormolu-mounted desk, staring dreamily into the distance, the contents of the letter in her hand clearly in her thoughts. The viewer is invited to imagine just what those contents might be, though surely it is a love letter. In the tradition of costume painting, Toulmouche has brought to life the heavy silk of her fashionable dress, the gold mounts on her lady’s desk, even the luster of the porcelain vase with lilies. It is a polished scene with deep romantic currents. Toulmouche studied with the noted Academic artist Charles Gleyre (1806-1874), and exhibited regularly in the Paris Salons. In 1870, Toulmouche received the honor of Chevalier de la Legion d’honneur in 1870. His paintings are held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, in Saint Louis and in a number of museums in France, including Nates, Beziers and Beaufort.
