About the Item
Nicolas Issaiev (a/k/a Nikolai Alexandrovich Isaev, Russian-French, 1891-1977) was a painter, graphic artist, set designer, illustrator.
In the early 1900s he studied in art schools in Odessa and Kharkiv, Ukraine; and in 1912, he moved to Saint Petersburg. During World War I, Isaev entered the military academy. In 1916, he participated in combat action at the Galician Front and was wounded. In 1919, Isaev emigrated to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. In 1920, he worked as set designer at the National Theatre in Belgrad, where he also created costume sketches, theatricals; and copied Byzantine frescoes. During that time, the artist held his first personal exhibition.
In 1925, Isaev moved to Paris. In 1925-1926, he attended classes at V.I.,Shukhaev and A.E.,Yakovlev workshop. In 1926, he held a day-long personal exhibition. Later he attended the Ranson Academy and was under strong influence of the cubist painter, Roger Bissière. In 1938, he spent some time working in Bissière’s studio. Just like many other Russian emigrant artists he created theatricals, worked as set designer (G. Pitoev theatre).
He decorated the pavilion of the Baltic countries at the 1937 Paris International Exposition. Some of his Russian artist friends included D.V. Merinov and G. Lebedev.
Isaev took active part in the Paris salons - the Autumn Salon, the Salon des Indépendants, the Salon des Surindépendants, the Salon Comparaisons and the Salon des Tuileries.
He also participated in exhibitions of Russian art in Brussels (1928), Paris (Alice Manteau, 1931; d’Alignan, 1931; La Renaissance, 1932) and Prague (1935) and in the exhibitions of the Circle group in Belgrade (1931). Isaev held personal exhibitions at the Paris Lesnik (1928), AtelierMme Margaret Train Embre (1930), La Bo?tie (1930) galleries.
He donated artworks for charity in a benefit for the Russian youth (1928), the members of the Union of former figures of the Russian judicial institution (1935).
In 1940-1945, Isaev lived in the south of France, in Agen. He and his wife hid partisans and French officers in their house. In 1971, Issaev was awarded with the Cross of the resistance volunteer combatant.
After the war Isaev travelled in Europe a lot, visiting Switzerland, Italy and Spain. On his journeys the artist created numerous landscapes, frescoes and icons for the Uniat churches in Marseille and Strasbourg. His manner at that time changed prominently: the colors became brighter and the art was more figurative. Isaev took part in the exhibitions of Russian art organized by the France - USSR committee and the Union of the Russian Patriots.
He illustrated several books, including The Flowers of Evil by Charles Baudelaire, Love Sonnets by Pierre De Ronsard, The New Extraordinary Stories by Edgar Allen Poe, The Nose by Nikolay Gogol (exhibited at the Paul Valéry club, 1954). Isaev collaborated with C’est Paris magazine.
Isaev’s later artworks (mainly landscapes) show his returned interest to cubism.
In 1965, the artist presented his works at a group exhibition of European art in New-York. He participated in the Russian Artists of the Paris School(1961) and The Russian Glance (1974) exhibitions.
In 1976, a posthumous exhibition of the artist took place in Paris. In 1991, after 15 years of storage, his artistic heritage (more than 200 canvases, several hundred of drawings, watercolors, gouache and pastel paintings, and illustrations) was sold at the Drouot auction.

William Frederick Timmins was born May 23, 1915 in Chicago, Illinois.
His father, Harry L. Timmins (1887-1963), was a celebrated magazine illustrator and co-owner with Frank H. Young (1888-1964) of a successful Chicago advertising agency called Young & Timmins Advertising Illustration Studios. In 1923 Timmins and Young co-founded the American Academy of Art in Chicago. His father's impressive career brought the family a prosperous and privileged lifestyle, which included pleasure trips to Paris and London.
In 1934 he began to commute by Metro North train to New York City, where he studied at the Art Students League on West 57th Street. He also took classes at the National Academy of Design on Fifth Avenue near 89th Street.
In 1935 he began to study at the Grand Central School of Art, located on the sky-lit top floor of Grand Central Station Terminal. This was the same station he used for his daily commute.
In 1935 he began to sell pen and ink story illustrations as well as painted covers to NYC publishers of pulp magazines. During the second half of the 1930s his work appeared in Western Story, Dime Sports, Clues Detective Stories, Thrilling Western, and All Aces Magazine.
He and his wife moved to a home on Spectacle Lane in Wilton, CT. This area of Connecticut had become a popular artist community. He socialized with several artist neighbors, such as Benjamin Kimberly Prins (1902-1980), Tom Lovell (1909-1997), Richard Lyon (1913-2002), Al Parker (1906-1985), Rolf Klep (1904-1981), R. G. Harris (1911-2007).
During the 1940s his cover illustrations appeared on pulp magazines, such as The Shadow, Clues Detective Stories, Wild West Weekly, and Astounding Science Fiction. All these were published by Street & Smith.
In 1944 the family moved to Darien, CT. At first the artist worked in a rented studio in nearby Norwalk, CT, but after a while he converted a vacant family room into an art studio and worked at home. After the war he drew story illustrations for Family Circle and Liberty Magazine.
In 1948 his father, Harry L. Timmins, and his brother, Harry L. Timmins, Jr., moved to California to open a lithography business in Hollywood.
During the 1950s he illustrated several books for children that were published by Rand McNally, such as Cowboys, Davy Crockett...
