HEINRICH CAMPENDONK
1889-1957
Born in Krefeld, Westphalia in Germany.
This expressionist artist received influence from Franz Marc. As a  painter, he produced oil paintings, watercolors and gouache.  Worked in stained glass receiving numerous orders for glass windows in Germany and Amsterdam. And was also a graphic designer.
In 1911 he became a member of the Der Blaue Reiter. When the Nazi regime came, in 1933, he was considered a degenerate artist and could not exhibit his works.
Because of that, he decided to move to The Netherlands working at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam as teacher in Decorative Art, Printmaking and Stained Glass.
Later he took the decision to naturalize Dutch citizen.

CRISTINA CANALE

Nasceu em 1961 no Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

Pintora figurativa quase abstracta que iniciou a sua vida artistica trabalhando em desenho e pintura na década de 80.

Contemporânea de Beatriz Milhazes e Adriana Varejão parte para a Alemanha, como bolseira, para estudar  na Academia de Belas Artes de Dusseldorf.

Hoje vive e trabalha em Berlim.

Nos seus últimos trabalhos, ainda que continue a explorar os seus temas preferidos, vemos a aplicação duma técnica mais suave, mostra-nos uma tendência de fauvismo e pós impressionismo. 

Mas continua a pintar sem desenho prévio e a oferecer-nos a sua arte quase lírica.
