Joan Mitchell was an American painter, celebrated for her pivotal role in the Abstract Expressionist movement. Born in Chicago in 1925, Mitchell's work transcends the traditional boundaries of art, blending intense emotion with a deeply personal use of color and gesture. Her canvases are vast arenas where light, color, and texture merge to evoke landscapes, memories, and emotions. Unlike many of her contemporaries, Mitchell's art was not just about the act of painting but about capturing the essence of her experiences and emotions, making her a unique voice in 20th-century art.
Mitchell's paintings, characterized by their vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes, have been exhibited in some of the world's most prestigious museums and galleries. Notable works like "Hudson River Day Line" and "Bracket" found homes in institutions such as the Denver Art Museum and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), respectively. These pieces exemplify Mitchell's ability to convey the complexity of nature and emotion, bridging the gap between abstract expressionism and the lyrical landscapes that inspired her.
Despite her critical acclaim, Mitchell's work was initially overshadowed by her male peers, selling for a fraction of their value. However, the 21st century has seen a significant reassessment of her contributions, with her paintings now commanding millions at auction. This shift is part of a broader reevaluation of women and minority artists in the art historical canon, reflecting changing perspectives on gender and creativity. Collectors and experts in art and antiques now recognize Joan Mitchell as a titan of post-war American painting, whose works continue to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide.

Как утверждают греки, философия - это любовь к мудрости.
Я считаю, что пока нахожусь в самом начале пути познания истинного смысла и совершенных ценностей. Поэтому и философия моя пока наивна и светла. Не впадать в обыденность, всегда стремиться к новому, открывать это новое не только для себя, но и для своих близких. Делиться пришедшими откровениями и эмоциями. А так как мудрость моя пока молода, то и этика в творчестве - пока очень молода и бескомпромиссна. В творчестве я пока считаю главной этической нормой для себя - не лгать! Стараться, чтоб картины рождались не из головы, а из души. Не поддаться веяниям - "модно-не модно". Не стать заложником маркетинга и потребности веяний.
Быть честной перед собой и холстом, на котором появилась очередная моя мысль или эмоция. Даже пусть эта мысль будет не самой радужной и красивой. Зато - очень честной.

Меня зовут Алексей Быков. Я являюсь скульптором, преимущественно работаю с деревом. Мои работы находятся в частных коллекциях России, США, Великобритании, Европы и Китая. Периодически участвую в местных и международных выставках и симпозиумах.
Для своих работ я выбрал дерево как теплый, естественный и живой материал. Дерево мне подсказывает скульптурные формы своим рисунком и пластичностью формы. Естественность природной красоты людей и животных — вот моя цель, воплощенная в дереве.
Alexey Bykov was born in Almaty Kazakhstan in 1976.
In 1995-99 while studying at the University named after Abai he took classes on sculpture and human anatomy from the professor of arts and prominent soviet sculptor Juravlev Nikolay Stepanovich.
To manifest the abundance and beauty of the world Bykov has chosen wood as a basic material used for his sculptures for its fullness of life, natural warmth and grace. Wood itself guides him during the creation process with its pattern and form which he aims to reveal and emphasize in his sculptures.
Though hardwood species are the sculptor's favorite material he works with plaster as well. In 2000s he created a series of portraits of famous actors in this material.
Influenced by the classic school and folk art, Bykov manages to develop his own style where classic shapes melt into exaggerated forms smoothly flowing one into another achieving a natural harmoniously accomplished look.
From 1995 till nowadays Alexey Bykov took part in a range of local international exhibitions and symposiums.
His works are in private collections of Russia, USA, Great Britain, Spain and China.
