Jean-Paul Courchia (France), Jaffa Tel Aviv ancient harbor with boats painting. Measures, 32.5" x 29". Jean-Paul Courchia is a highly successful painter both in Europe and in America. His oils on canvas were displayed in Marseille in the famous Provincial Gallery Jouvne, which Van Gogh and Cezanne called home for their artwork. Her Highness Queen Paola of Belgium, Madame Nobutaka Shinomiya, wife of the Consul of Japan in Marseille, and Mr. Aldon James, president of the National Arts Club in New-York, are avid collectors of his work. Jean-Paul Courchia is also a unique speaker, able to explain through a simple approach the way we see art. Jean-Paul Courchia is a physician and a world renowned artist painter. He splits his life among his office, his studio and the department of ophthalmology where his two passions merge: he works on the relationship between art and the brain by analyzing eyes movements. He is often requested to give lectures in France and in the United- States about the art visitors visual strategy, and art and science. If you think that you are free in front of a painting you are wrong. Once the artist catches you he makes you travel in his work of art. If he is clever and succeeds in his plan, he will show you elements that are at the base of his message. If you stay in front of the painting, you will connect with the brain of the painter when he created his work. Through the study of eye movement he can describe the most complicated inner workings of the brain in a way that no one could understand. There is another facet to his interesting persona: medical doctor of endocrinology and metabolic diseases, he is fascinated by science and has given about one hundred of lectures in both fields: endocrinology and vision in art. Measurements of eye movements in the discovery of a painting show how vision is often disconnected from the brain. Starting out from a preliminary study on the behavior of museum visitors, and in particular the average time spent in front of a picture (about 12 seconds!), his research is intended to highlight the information picked up by viewers exploring various paintings. You will be captivated by the videos showing the eye-gaze strategies in paintings by Henri Matisse and Francisco Goya. In a new work presented at the French Society of Ophthalmology he explores the last painting of Van Gogh, and shows how the artistic information conducts the eye of the spectator. Through this painting, we discover the artists brain in his last moments. His study interested the documentation center of the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. It is a unique chance to have in the same personality the two sides of these fields, artistic and scientific knowledge. During his lecture, Doctor Courchia will bring you in his studio to explain how a painter, whether consciously or not, uses his abilities to catch the eye and makes it travel between the lines and the colors.

Lido Bettarini (Italy, B.1927), painting titled "Paesaggio." Measures 36.5" x 29" framed. Signed and dated 1979. Lido Bettarini, born in Florence in the 1927. He's an Italian Artist, who now lives and works in Cannes, in the South of France. The influence that a city like Florence has had to him, carries him to follow an artistic path. He attended the Fine Arts Academy of Florence (Accademia di Belle Arti) and studied with the professor Settala first and the painter Rosai then. Bettarini is one of the most important Italian artists, very required and appreciated in the artistic scene of Italy and Europe; he’s had also the honor to work for the pope John Paul II, painting for him a beautiful portrait now conserved in the Vaticano. Beyond his activity as a painter Bettarini has written also different books both novels and essays. Many things of his work are part of important collections and are conserved in museums like Vatican Museum, Prado Museum of Madrid, Museum of Modern Art of Montecatini. The most peculiar thing that characterizes the great and vast work of Bettarini are his landscape's paintings. The inspiration for these canvases is taken obviously from the beautiful and full of color region of Tuscany, and from the dreamy atmospheres of the Mediterranean Sea. The colors and the vibrant beauty, rustical and dreamy at the same time, of the countryside near Florence is described by Bettarini , in a way that only a Tuscan artist can do, understanding the real essence of these lands. Another important thematic in Bettarini’s paintings is the “White Sails”, boats that sail to home guided only by the moon light. A magic atmosphere, surrounding the port and the boats, is given by the use of the shades of colors, blues, violets and the white, and suspends the time and the space in a condition that seems unreal even if everything we see is “realistic”. Art collection from a prominent East Coast family with estates in New York City, Scarsdale and Chappaqua. Family name will NOT be disclosed. RARE OPPORTUNITY.

B.C. Nowlin, "Origin" giclée numbered 2/50, hand embellished, EXTRAORIDNARILY RARE,, 50" x 28". Sales of this giclée range in the $2,100-3,000 range WHEN AVAILABLE. His larger oil paintings can easily surpass, $10,000. Sophia Loren, one of many famous celebrity collectors of BC had this to say regarding Origin, “These riders are going into the future”. RARE opportunity. Bruce Carlton (B.C.) Nowlin was born in 1949 in Alameda, New Mexico. He spent his childhood on the edge of the Sandia Pueblo Reservation. His teenage mother spent her early years in the Laguna Pueblo earning her the Indian name “Little Bird”. His father, Duke, worked in Albuquerque at a highly classified government job. B.C.’s Native-American friends gave him the symbol; the bird-and-moon, a calligraphic logo he signs to every piece of artwork. His southwestern roots and his intimate relationship with Native American history and culture have a strong influence on his work. His paintings are vibrant and intense. His use of color and imagination is exceptional. Each piece is filled with emotion and illustrates a journey, both for him and his paintings. His work often portrays universal places filled with mystery and spirituality and tribes of every nation moving towards brighter destinations. B. C.’s work has grown with the times. His work is exhibited in collections from Hewlett-Packard and the Discovery Channel to the Palace collection of Costa Rica. He has produced several unique, once-only showings of theme-works, such as the “Women in the West”, a masked ‘desert’ event in Contemporary Southwest Gallery in Santa Fe in 1996, and “Vessels”, part of a series of the two-man shows, in which Nowlin is billed as two different artists exhibiting distinctly different sets of images. His works have gained the attention of celebrity collectors such as Tanya Tucker, Robert Plant and Sophia Loren. B. C.’s artworks have been featured in Jay Leno monologues and are familiar worldwide as album covers and Hollywood set-pieces. Nowlin is also gaining attention as a writer. His twenty-year project, “The Fifth Gospel” is about to be released. His inspiration and passion often comes from his motorcycle. A daily ride to the nearby Murphy’s Mule Barn Café for conversation, newspapers and coffee start his day of artistic endeavors. He lives in a 110-year old adobe house with his wife and children.
