More Solo exhibition of new paintings by Kevin Lowenthal opens at Derek Eller GalleryNEW YORK, NY.- Derek Eller Gallery is presenting a solo exhibition of new paintings by Kevin Lowenthal entitled Mannequins in Audience in the North Room.

Flashback On a day like today, Anglo-French artist Alfred Sisley was born October 30, 1839. Alfred Sisley (30 October 1839 - 29 January 1899) was an Impressionist landscape painter who was born and spent most of his life in France, but retained British citizenship. He was the most consistent of the Impressionists in his dedication to painting landscape en plein air (i.e., outdoors). He never deviated into figure painting and, unlike Renoir and Pissarro, never found that Impressionism did not fulfill his artistic needs. In this image: French businessman Pierre de Gunzbourg, flanked by his son Vivien, left, looks at the painting, "Soleil de Printemps, Le Loing, " (Spring Sun, Le Loing) by impressionist Alfred Sisley at the Paris courthouse, Friday, June 18, 2004.
