Sir William Russell Flint
(Scottish, 1880-1969)
The Blonde Minx - Yolande Donlan (exh.1949).
Oil on canvas.
This work encapsulates the Hollywood glamour that the American actress Yolande Donlan brought to post-war London, bewitching theatre goers and making her the toast of the town.
When exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1949 it attracted stellar reviews and was voted the picture of the exhibition.
Flint was extremely well suited to capture such theatrical beauty.

Louis Mayer
(American, 1869-1969).
Lady in Black (Portrait of Carrie Donaldson) (1900).
Oil on canvas.
Milwaukee Art Museum.
Mayers Lady in Black has been identified as Carrie Donaldson, a Milwaukee concert singer. Mayer must have thought highly of the portrait, because he selected it to represent him in several national exhibitions.
Mayer specialized in somber yet sensitive figural studies that, in their judicious cropping and strong frontality, reflect his knowledge of European portraiture, as well as Japanese art.

Giacinto Brandi
(Italian, 1621 - 1691)
Poetry
Musée d'Art et d'Histoire de Narbonne (France - Narbonne)
Dates: Date unknown
Brandi was trained in Rome in the studio of Alessandro Algardi, a noted sculptor, who noted that Brandi was more suited to painting.
He joined the studio of Giovanni Giacomo Sementi. He traveled to Naples from 1638, and by 1647 had returned to Rome to work under Giovanni Lanfranco, where Brandi befriended Mattia Preti. The two latter artists would often collaborate.
