Andreoli of Gubbio, Giorgio, Maestro

Giorgio Andreoli (between 1465 and 1470 – 1553), named also Mastro Giorgio Andreoli or Mastro Giorgio, was born in Intra, on Lake Maggiore, and died in Gubbio, where he spent most of his life, in 1555. He is considered to be one of the most important potters of the Italian Renaissance. He is famous as inventor of a particular kind of lusterware (lustro), using red and gold especially. In 1498, he became a citizen of Gubbio and in 1518 invented his remarkable lustre, the chief characteristics of which are its beautiful gold and carmine colors. Good examples of his majolica may be found in the local museums of Gubbio, Urbino, Arezzo, and elsewhere in Italy, and also in the principal museums of decorative art in Europe, such as Berlin, Vienna, Paris, and South Kensington. Not all works fired with his lustre were designed by him, for potters of the neighboring cities brought their work to him to be fired. He was assisted in his work by his brothers Salimbene and Giovanni, and after his death it was continued by his son Vincenzo.

André, Rogi

Rogi André (10 August 1900 – 11 April 1970) was a Hungarian-born French photographer and artist. She was known for her portraits of prominent artists and intellectuals in early 20th-century Paris. Born Rozsa Klein, she adopted the name Rogi André and became recognized for her distinctive approach to portrait photography, often capturing her subjects in natural, intimate settings. She was associated with the avant-garde artistic circles of the time and photographed notable figures such as Henri Matisse, André Derain, and Jean Cocteau. André was also briefly married to the surrealist photographer André Kertész, though she developed her own artistic identity independent of his influence. In 1928, André produced her first nude photos and in 1936, some were published in Arts et Métiers Graphiques. By 1941 André had prospered, but because of World War II, she was forced to flee in the free zone and take refuge in Touraine because of her Jewish origins. After the war, André resumed painting, though meanwhile showed in an international group exhibition of portrait photography in the Galeries Mazarine et Mansart of the Bibliothèque nationale,
