Vladimir Stojanovic
Featured Piece:
Smoking Old Man - Vintage Oil on Canvas Portrait Painting by Listed Russian Artist Vladimir Stojanovic (1924 -) This is a vintage oil on canvas portrait painted by the listed Russian artist Vladimir Stojanovic. The painting is wonderfully detailed and extremely expressive. The canvas measures 10½” wide and 13¾” high, and the frame is 15” wide by 18¼” high. A remarkable feature of this painting is the lit cigarette and the eye glasses that are painted with thicker layers of paint and are textured for a slight 3D type appearance. This painting is a very elaborate and extremely well executed composition. The back of the painting is written “Stojanovic, Vladimir, Artiste Peintre (artist painter), 11 Passage Moncley Paris 17, which, apparently, was the artist’s address in Paris. The paint has some very fine crackling in some areas due to the age of the work. Circa 1970.

Featured Piece:
A Secret Admirer circa 2006 - Francois Fressinier - Born in Cognac, France in 1968 to scholarly portrait photographer parents with an affinity for aesthetics, it was fitting that modern figurative artist, François Fressinier, would develop a unique, enchanting style.

Along with France’s Gallo-Roman ruins and Gothic churches François was inspired to explore and create figurative, symbolic artwork. In addition, his education at the Ecole Brassart in Tours afforded him the opportunity to study the drawings and paintings of old and new masters.
