Topical Cream is a groundbreaking New York-based arts organization exclusively dedicated to elevating the vision of women and gender non-conforming contemporary artists through digital publishing and multiple high-impact programs.

The organization has evolved into a supportive ecosystem and now hosts progams including the Art Writing Mentorship Program, which supports system-impacted youth, the high-profile Editor-in-Residence program founded in 2021, and original video content such as the Rx Studio series.

Abstract in Lilac and Blue

Edouard-Jean Dambourgez (French, 1844–1931).This work is offered unframed. A fine and detailed, late 19th century view of a counter of the bustling cheese market at Les Halles, showing customers viewing, sampling and purchasing a wide array of cheeses from the busy attendants. This cabinet-sized work provides an unusual insight into the daily life of the Parisian bourgeoisie at the end of the 19th century, and it is characterized both by finely observed still-life handling and fully realized and animated figures. This particular painting was the artist's sample, and it is accompanied by his original list of prices for other sizes of the same work available for commission. A large version of the work, The Cream and Cheese Market at Les Halles, was exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1891 and was purchased directly from the exhibition by the City of Paris. Edouard-Jean Dambourgez first studied with Jules Lefebvre and, subsequently, as an engraver and chromo-lithographer under Gustave Boulanger. In 1880, Dambourgez commenced exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes Français, and, in 1883, was elected a member of the Society. Throughout the 1880s, he exhibited frequently and with success at the major Paris salons, including the Salon d'Automne, the Salon des Independants and the Salon des Champs-de-Mars. In 1884, he was commissioned by the Louvre to engrave all illustrations for the catalog to the Thiers Collection, recently bequeathed to the museum. The recipient of numerous prizes, medals and juried awards, Dambourgez was awarded an honorable distinction by the Salon in 1888, and an honorable mention in 1891. In 1888, the critic Albert Wolff recommended his painting A Cheese Shop for inclusion at the Salon des Artistes Français. In 1891, the city of Paris bought his large canvas The Cream and Cheese Market at Les Halles and, in 1921, his city view titled Canal in Dordrecht. According to the Revue des Beaux-Arts, the artist's style evolved from realistic to naturalist, and, by 1894, to "frankly Impressionist." Dambourgez left Paris in 1896 and subsequently lived and painted in Spain, Italy and Morocco while continuing to exhibit with success in Paris.

Cheese Market at Les Halles

Edouard-Jean Dambourgez (French, 1844–1931).This work is offered unframed. A fine and detailed, cabinet-size oil painting showing an elegant Parisian cafe and bar, the interior lit by luminous, floor-to-ceiling stained-glass windows and filled with fashionably dressed patrons drinking and socializing beneath a haze of pipe and cigar smoke. A minor period masterpiece, providing an animated view of the city's fin-de-siècle nightlife, and characterized by finely observed and fully realized figures, showing an unusual degree of both social commentary and psychological penetration. Edouard-Jean Dambourgez first studied with Jules Lefebvre and, subsequently, as an engraver and chromo-lithographer under Gustave Boulanger. In 1880, Dambourgez commenced exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes Français, and, in 1883, was elected a member of the Society.

He subsequently attended Barcelona's Escuela de Bellas Artes before furthering his studies in Rome at the Studio Hinna. Returning to California, Di Gesu worked beside several notable American Modernists including F. Tolles Chamberlain and Maynard Jepson. Already a gifted colorist, Di Gesu’s classical training combined with his scientific research into color theory allowed him to create vivid yet harmonious works which, while reminiscent of Matisse and Gauguin, revealed a verve and spontaneity that remained uniquely his own. A prolific artist, Victor Di Gesu was the recipient of numerous medals and juried awards, both in the United States and in France. After his return to California, he continued to exhibit widely and with success, including at the San Francisco Museum of Art, Monterey Peninsula Museum of Art, the Carmel Art Association and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
