Jacques Volpi is a very famous painter from the south of France. He was born in Ales, Gare in 1948. He has painted in Cévenole and Provencal and has won many awards and medals. He uses the technique of the "knife" to paint, the subject is vivid characters, and the colors are lively. He is famous for the characters in the rain of noon of France in his works. He exposes internationally and his works are part of prestigious collections around the world.

Morgan Weistling, born in 1964, is recognized as one of the top contemporary painters in the United States. His father is an artist. He was influenced by his father and grew up in an artistic family.

His works are ubiquitous in pursuit of the discovery of beauty. Whether it is oil painting or sketching, character or natural painting, they are all refined, rigorous, soft and illusory, giving people a refreshing and elegant enjoyment of beauty. Using the pen boldly, the shape and color are well combined, the color is rich and transparent, his paintings are expressive and appealing, and very penetrating in the details.

As a successful illustrator in the Hollywood film industry for 14 years, Morgan made a change to the art world in 1998. In a small sense, the change was rapid. His earliest influence came from his father. When he was 19 months old, Morgan sketched on his father's lap. At the age of 15, he began professional art training at the Brandes art Institute in Los Angeles.

At the age of 19, Morgan graduated from art school and was hired by Bacon Reneric Design, Hollywood's top advertising company. For 14 years, he worked with every major studio in the entertainment industry to make movie posters. Morgan thrived in the challenges faced by the highly stressed poster industry, but he was also looking forward to greater development in art.

After leaving the illustration, Morgan quickly became famous throughout the country for his superb oil paintings. These oil paintings show his time-honed painting ability and his masterful control of value, edges and light. He can use his years of illustrator experience to create superb works with multiple characters and single character settings. In most cases, his works are works of the times, evoking a more gentle and elegant era. He grasped the mood and atmosphere of the past, and his attention to the historical aspects of the subject matter came from his depiction of the truth, goodness and beauty of American pioneering spirit.

His canvas is full of stories that transcend themes. Like a skilled film director, he manipulates the focus of interest through suggestions and impressions of almost impossible forms, allowing the audience's imagination to fill in the details. Morgan added: "There is a story behind my painting. I didn't hide the process of how I painted it. You can see these layers and count the strokes to get there.

Although collectors' demand for his original paintings has soared, few paintings have left his studio. Morgan admitted that I am not the most prolific painter in the world! I decided early on that unless I feel good, I would not take a painting out of the studio. Sometimes this means living with a painting for several months to get a good understanding of what is useful and what is not.

I think that as artists, we will turn a blind eye to our own mistakes. That's why I rely on my wife JoAnn and other artist friends to comment on each work before I send it out. I think it is very valuable for an artist to have people around him willing to give him an honest opinion.

Morgan's paintings have won multiple awards and are in the permanent collections of major museums. He is still the youngest recipient of the Oklahoma City National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. He also won the award for the second time in 2008.
