Cornelis Van Cleve (et Atelier) (1527-Antwerp circa 1581) Adoration des Mages Oil on panel 101.5 x 77.5 cm Fils et élève du grand Maître Anversois Joos van Cleve (1485-1541), il a sans doute été très actif au sein de l’atelier paternel entre 1535 et 1540. Son style se rapprochant de celui de son père, il est encore difficile aujourd'hui pour certaines œuvres, de discerner la main du père de celle du fils. Maître à Anvers, il est doyen de la Gilde en 1541 au décès de Joos. Son caractère ombrageux et ses affinités protestantes le font quitter sa ville natale et émigrer en Angleterre où il recherche le patronage de Philippe II d’Espagne. Ses peintures sophistiquées et délicates témoignent aussi de l’influence de Léonard de Vinci. Cette composition dérive du tableau de Cornelis van Cleve aujourd’hui conservé au Musée des beaux-arts d’Anvers. MUSÉES: ANVERS, COLOGNE, DRESDE, PHILADELPHIE, ST P

It will feature something exceptional in the history of art: the first Slip Print made in 1961 by Antonio Recalcati (1938-2022). After beginning to make prints of his own body in oil paint in 1960, the following year Antonio Recalcati placed traces of his own clothes (shirt, pants, socks, pants, T-shirt, etc.) at the centre of his paintings. At the same time, Yves Klein was producing his beautiful Anthropometries, done in public and using the bodies of naked women as paintbrushes. On the other side of the Atlantic, Pop Art artists were also incorporating everyday objects into their paintings. But the references and atmosphere of Recalcati's paintings are radically different. The fruit of a hand-to-hand encounter between the painter and his canvas, in the solitude of the studio, these works have a dramatic tension that is offset by a singular luminosity and a great deal of vitality. In 2022, Galerie Kaléidoscope and Antonio Recalcati decided to embark on an ambitious process of rediscovery in France and abroad. Since the artist's death a year ago, she has represented the Estate, and will shortly be contributing to the launch of a catalogue raisonné of 60 years of painting. Antonio Recalcati was at the forefront of the great figurative renewal of the second half of the twentieth century, while constantly engaging in dialogue with his elders: from Etruscan painting to Picasso, via of course the masters of the Italian Renaissance.

karel appel
Karel Appel (Amsterdam 1921-2006 Zurich) Untitled, 1960 Oil on canvas 81 x 116 cm Signed and dated lower right Written confirmation of the work's authenticity Provenance: private collection Karel Appel was a Dutch painter, avid sculptor, and one of the founders of the avant-garde CoBrA movement in 1948. Born in the Netherlands, he began painting at the age of fourteen. Recognised for his ironic imagery, bold brushstrokes and energetic use of colour, Appel’s work received both broad critical acclaim and unfavourable criticisms. Known for his figurative abstractions and expressive colours, Appel found inspiration in the artwork of children and the rejection of sophisticated aesthetic tastes. He was drawn to the animated, primitive style of Jean Dubuffet in the years following the isolated, repressive environment of WWII in Amsterdam. In a childlike manner, painted in thick, black lines against a background of primary colours, Appel's unique style is immediately discernible in Untitled, 1960.
