In this permanent exhibition which I visit at least once a day when I'm at "La Maison D'art." By placing the masters inside their masterpieces, I pay tribute in my own way and style to the masters that gave the world beautiful art.

The first painting I started the "Tribute to the Masters." series with.

Titled: "Le Rêve Pleure." 

 From 1486 Sandro Botticelli’s “Birth Of Venus”, to the 1501-1504 divine Micheal Angelo’s sculpture of “David”, to the 1503-1506 smugly smile of Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa”, to the 1665 mystery behind Johannes Vermeer’s “Girl With a Pearl Earring”, to the 1872 Claude Monet’s sunrise in “Impression”, to the 1878 Edgard Degas amazing movement in “ L’etoile”, to the 1882 Edward Manet’s dazed look of his figure in “ Bar aux foliesBergere ”, to the 1884-1886 Georges Seurat’s pointillism in the very sunny painting the “Un après-midi de Dimanche sur L'île La Grande Jatte”, to the 1888 magical “Starry Night” of Vincent Van Gogh , to the 1891 Toulouse Lautrec famous “Goulue Can- Can Dancer” of the Moulin Rouge, to the 1893 Angry “Scream” of Edvard Munch, to The Lebanese pride and Joy none other than the poet/painter Gibran Khalil Gibran sensual oil painting “ The Autumn”…, to the 1905 Henri Matisse famous wife Portrait “Green Stripe”, to the 1910 Pierre August Renoir’s “Voluptuous Nude figure,” to Kandinsky's 1913 very colorful abstract color study, to Modigliani's 1919 elongated face almond shaped eyes of “Jeanne's Portrait”, to the 1931 Salvador Dali’s Surrealism in “The Persistence of Memory”, to the 1932 colourful Erotic painting of Pablo Picasso’s “Le Reve”, to the 1946 “Wounded Deer” of Frida Khalo, to the 1964 very mysterious face behind the apple of Renee Magrette’s “Son of a Man”… From the Renaissance to Impressionism, to Surrealism, to Pointillism and Fauvism, I with 20 paintings, moved my brush from one painting to another taking you on an art journey where I reunite the Masters with their Masterpieces!!! I reproduce with my own touch the paintings that I love the most, the paintings that introduced me to the world of art, the paintings that made history and marked eras!!! The artists that painted these masterpieces didn’t know that after they were gone their paintings would echo forever their names. For that reason, I decided to reunite the Masters with their Masterpieces placing the artist next to his most memorable painting! I see life as big blank canvas where my shapes and colors are mixed to expose my imagination by opening a big window to my soul! “My God, Family, and Country are the most important things in my life...” Nicole Karam.
