Victor Elpidiforovich Borisov-Musatov (Russian: Ви́ктор Эльпидифо́рович Бори́сов-Муса́тов) was a distinguished Russian artist celebrated for his unique contribution to the Post-Impressionist movement, combining elements of Symbolism, realism, and a decorative style that was all his own. Born in 1870 in Saratov, Russia, into the family of a former serf, Borisov-Musatov overcame early challenges, including a spinal injury that left him humpbacked, to emerge as a pivotal figure in Russian art. His education spanned the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, and the Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint-Petersburg, further enriched by studies in Paris under the tutelage of Fernand Cormon. His admiration for French contemporaries, especially Pierre Puvis de Chavannes and Berthe Morisot, profoundly influenced his artistic direction.
Borisov-Musatov is renowned for his lyrical, evocative works that often depict the serene and idyllic life of the 19th-century Russian nobility, set against the backdrop of their estates. This half-illusory world, which he masterfully created, reflects a deep nostalgia and a retreat from the industrial harshness of his time. By integrating figures seamlessly into the landscapes, as seen in masterpieces like "The Pool" (1902) and "The Phantoms" (1903), he achieved a harmony that resonates with viewers for its beauty and tranquility. His use of mixed media, including tempera, watercolor, and pastel, allowed for subtle visual effects, making his works distinctive in their soft, dreamlike quality.
Borisov-Musatov's legacy extends beyond his paintings; he was a significant figure in the Russian Symbolist movement and a founding member of the Moscow Association of Artists. His works, which provide a poignant, poetic commentary on the era he lived in, are celebrated in Russian and international art circles alike. Notable paintings like "The Pool" and "The Phantoms" not only highlight his technical skill but also his ability to evoke emotion and atmosphere, making them favorites among collectors and art enthusiasts.
For collectors and experts in art and antiques, Borisov-Musatov's oeuvre offers a fascinating glimpse into the Russian Symbolist movement and the broader cultural milieu of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His works, preserved in museums and private collections around the world, continue to enchant and inspire.

Claudia Bormann is a German artist known for her stunning water landscapes. She lives and works in Ratzeburg, Schleswig-Holstein.
Claudia Bormann crosses the boundary between photography and painting, and between reproduction of nature and abstraction.

Her artworks are modern in the best sense of the word, but at the same time imbued with a deep romanticism that believes in the magic of place.
Mark Boyle is a Scottish media artist from the British underground.

However, their most famous long-term project remains Journey to the Earth's Surface, which they began in 1964 and which is a continuum of strange and interesting works. These paintings-very precise drawn casts, something in between painting and sculpture-are careful recreations of randomly selected sections of the earth's surface using resin and fiberglass, as well as real materials collected from the site under investigation.

His mastery of drawing and verse became deeply influential for future generations of comic artists and vernacular poets. Among many notable influences, The Katzenjammer Kids was inspired by Busch's Max and Moritz. Today, the Wilhelm Busch Prize and the Wilhelm Busch Museum help maintain his legacy. The 175th anniversary of his birth in 2007 was celebrated throughout Germany. Busch remains one of the most influential poets and artists in Western Europe.
