In 1887, Paul Gauguin, together with fellow-artist Charles Laval, spent four months on the island of Martinique. Both artists were hoping to find an idyllic environment on the Caribbean island. Using scintillating colours and bold compositions, they captured the island in their paintings and drawings as a primitive and tropical paradise. In doing so they clung to their original ideals while ignoring the harsh everyday reality of a colonized world. Their Martinique works occupy a unique position within the oeuvre of both Gauguin and Laval. And, although their stay on the island was brief, it was nonetheless decisive for their future artistic development.  

  The exhibition 'Gauguin & Laval in Martinique' was on view from 5 October 2018 to 13 January 2019 Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam

Elizabeth Colomba  Chevalier de St. Georges Oil on canvas 36 x 46 source

Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges (December 25, 1745 – June 10, 1799) was a champion fencer, classical composer, virtuoso violinist, and conductor. Born in the French colony of Guadeloupe, the son of George Bologne de Saint-Georges, a wealthy married planter, and Nanon, his African slave. de Saint Georges is known as the Black Mozart and is the first classical composer of African ancestry.

Educated in France since age 7, de Saint Georges is famous as a fencer, especially for his duel against Charles-Geneviève-Louis-Auguste-André-Timothée d'Éon de Beaumont known as the Chevalier d'Éon. Joseph also fought on the Republican side during the French Revolution, in the Légion St.-Georges, the first all-black regiment in Europe.

Elizabeth Colomba is a figurative painter who adapts the technical approach and themes of traditional Western portraiture in order to interrupt stereotypical representation of the black body. By mixing classical painting with inherently black signifiers, including references to her own Caribbean heritage, she has developed a visual language to reconfigure the canon to include black subjectivity and its attendant narratives. Born in France, from  Martinican parents. She studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris and has exhibited her work in a variety of places including Los Angeles, Switzerland, Martinique, Florence, and New York. www.elizabeth-colomba.com
