Europe

 

On a visit to the Coll Bardolet Cultural Foundation in the town of Valldemossa on Mallorca we were captivated by these swirling dancers... such a contrast to Gaspar Camps’ Danseres. And Léopold Survage’s surrealist litho Melancholie delights with its dislocated body parts. (Of course, it depends on your sense of humour.)

Over the border from Limburg we found Jules Vermeire, a Belgian sculptor who according to A.M.Hammacher, “limited himself to a self-contained search for the perfect and purest expression of the female and male face.”

We couldn’t resist the wonderful fruitwood marquetry panel designed by Pierre Rosenau in Paris.
