• The founder of the PASTEL SOCIETY OF AMERICA died

Flora Giffuni, founder of the Pastel Society of America, died recently.
This painter has been instrumental to the current PASTEL boom which is evident  in the United States, and indirectly, in the rest of the world. The PSA is the most prestigious Pastel  Society in the USA, and has served as a model and stimulus for the creation of many other Pastel Societies.
From this page our memory and our homage.

• A Pastel Master has gone away.

In early 2009 one of our ASPAS members, JOAN MARTÍ,  died. A great person, an excellent painter and a strong enthusiast of Pastel.
Many Spanish pastellists have learned or perfected their technique with his help both personally and through the publications he to which contributed. Go from here our appreciation and heartfelt tribute.
