Many of his paintings were plein-air, impressionist style california landscapes that were simple in composition and quiet in tone, reflective of his search for refuge from an increasingly mechanized society. He also created a number of paintings in the symbolist style that expressed an ideal, dreamlike world of muted, restful colors. piazzoni was a teacher at the california school of fine art in san francisco from 1919 to 1935, and established in that city the piazzoni atelier d'art on sacramento street. One of his major public accomplishments was the painting of fourteen large murals on the grand staircase of the downtown san francisco public library. Completed in 1932, five of them depicted the 'sea', and five the 'land'. he was born in intragna, switzerland to swiss-italian parents and got his early schooling in locarno, italy, where he was much impressed by local mural artists who decorated the churches of that city. In 1887, he emigrated to california with his mother to join his father who had established a dairy farm in carmel valley. He persuaded his parents to let him go to san francisco to get art training, and from 1891 to 1893, he took art studies at the san francisco school of design under arthur mathews and raymond yelland, and won a gold medal for drawing. he then went to paris for three years to study at the academie julian with benjamin constant, henri martin, and jean-paul laurens and from 1896 to 1898, studied with jean-leon gerome at the ecole des beaux-arts. In paris, he shared studios with douglas tilden and granville redmond, with whom he would remain life-long friends in california. returning to san francisco, he shared a studio for ten years with arthur putnam and was a member of numerous organizations including the bohemian club and the san francisco society of etchers. His first major solo exhibition was in april 1905 at the mechanics institute pavilion, and he made enough money to return to europe, this time with his bride, beatrice del mue, and arthur putnam and his wife. The couples traveled for the next two years through italy, france, and switzerland. in 1907, the piazzoni's returned to san francisco to deal with his studio that had been destroyed by fire. Relocating from sacramento street to presidio avenue, he began the first of his many mural commissions that reflected his commitment to the integration of art and architecture. He also gave studio classes, conducted plein-air painting excursions, traveled extensively in california for landscape subjects, began a series of monotypes, and took on teaching responsibilities at csfa. piazzoni died at his home in carmel valley, and in 1959, the california historical society held a retrospective of his work. |

With great color and high relief, this sculpture has an impressive weighty feel in the hands would make a great gift or addition to any fine collection. Details: - size: 10-1/2 in. Height. - weight: 3lbs 11oz. - condition: minor wear commensurate with age, overall excellent condition details: franz xaver bergman (or franz xaver bergmann) (1861–1936) was the owner of a viennese foundry who produced numerous patinated and cold-painted bronze oriental, erotic and animal figures, the latter often humanized or whimsical, humorous objects d'art. Bergmann was noted for his detailed and colorful work. He signed with either a letter 'b' in an urn-shaped cartouche or 'nam greb' – 'bergman' in reverse. These marks were used to disguise his identity on erotic works. His father, franz bergmann (1838–1894), was a professional chaser from gablonz who came to vienna and founded a small bronze factory in 1860. Franz xaver bergmann inherited the company and opened a new foundry in 1900. Many of the bronzes from the 1900s were still based on designs from his father's workshop. Bergmann is often incorrectly described as a sculptor but he was not; he was a foundry owner. His workshops employed, on a temporary basis, many anonymous sculptors. Bruno zach employed bergmann to edit and cast some of his works, with some of the more erotic ones being signed as 'prof. Tuch', a pseudonym used by zach. At the turn of the 19th century there were about fifty workshops producing vienna bronzes. 'cold-painted bronze' refers to pieces cast in vienna and then decorated in several layers with so-called dust paint; the know-how for the mix of this kind of paint has been lost. The color was not fired hence 'cold painted'. The painting was carried out mainly by women working at home, a typical cottage industry. Sensuous poses of young women in the art nouveau style were disguised by a covering that revealed all when a button was pushed or a lever moved. Often carefully sculpted animals, such as bears, could be opened to reveal an erotic figure inside. The bergmann foundry was closed in 1930 due to the great depression. It was reopened some years later by robert bergmann, son of franz, and operated until his death in 1954 when the remaining stock and molds were sold to karl fuhrmann & co.

From 1877 on, smith exhibited regularly at the national academy of design, although he never became a member. Smith also exhibited at the american watercolor society and the artists' fund. his landscapes are his best known works, particularly those of new england, spain, italy, england, new york state, and france. These also indicate his love of travel and some of his best known works are venetian scenes. Working primarily in oils and watercolors, and using a tighter technique than the emerging impressionists of his time, smith was a true realist. around 1901, smith moved to asbury park, new jersey to seek relief from ill health and rheumatism. He died there in october, 1907. |

Depth (seat closed). - condition: some paint stripped and over-painted, chair in excellent functioning condition. background: yankee stadium (1923) yankee stadium was a stadium located in the bronx in new york city, new york. It was the home baseball park of the new york yankees, the city's major league baseball (mlb) franchise, from 1923 to 1973 and from 1976 to 2008. The stadium hosted 6,581 yankees regular season home games during its 85-year history. It was also the former home of the new york giants football team. The stadium's nickname, 'the house that ruth built', is derived from babe ruth, the iconic baseball superstar whose prime years coincided with the stadium's opening and the beginning of the yankees' winning history. the venue was constructed for 2. 4 million between 1922–1923 specifically for the yankees, who had been sharing the polo grounds with the new york giants baseball team for 10 years. Yankee stadium opened in 1923, and at the time, it was hailed as a one-of-a-kind facility in the country for its size. Over the course of its history, it became one of the most famous venues in the united states, having hosted a variety of events and historic moments during its existence. While many of these moments were baseball-related—including world series games, no-hitters, perfect games, and historic home runs—the stadium also hosted boxing matches, concerts, and three papal masses. The stadium went through many alterations and playing surface configurations over the years. The condition of the facility worsened in the 1960s and 1970s, prompting its closing for renovation from 1974–1975. The renovation significantly altered the appearance of the venue and reduced the distance of the outfield fences. in 2006, the yankees began building a new 2. 3 billion stadium in public parkland adjacent to the stadium. Many of the iconic features of the original stadium, such as the frieze and monument park, were incorporated into the design of the new venue. Yankee stadium closed following the 2008 baseball season, and the new stadium opened in 2009, adopting the 'yankee stadium' moniker. The original facility was not demolished until 2010, nearly two years after it closed. It is being converted into parkland. The name of the park will be heritage field. |

His name is also to be found as myles birkett foster. Foster was born in north shields, england of a primarily quaker family, but his family moved south to london in 1830, where his father founded m.B. Foster & sons - a successful beer-bottling company. He was schooled at hitchin, hertfordshire, and on leaving initially went into his father's business. However, noticing his talent for art, his father secured an apprenticeship with the notable wood engraver, ebenezer landells, where he worked on illustrations for punch magazine and the illustrated london news. on leaving landells' employ, he continued to produce work for the illustrated london news and the illustrated london almanack. He also found work as a book illustrator and, during the 1850s, trained himself to paint in watercolours. His illustrations of longfellow's evangeline and books of poetry by other contemporaries were a great success, and he quickly became a successful artist in watercolours. Birket foster became an associate of the 'old' watercolour society (later the royal watercolour society) in 1860 and exhibited some 400 of his paintings at the royal academy over more than two decades. birket foster traveled widely, painting the countryside around scotland, the rhine valley, the swiss lakes and in italy, especially venice. In 1863 he moved to witley, near godalming in surrey where he had a house ('the hill') built. Being friendly with edward burne-jones and william morris, he had the house decorated and furnished in contemporary style, with tiles and paintings by burne-jones and morris' firm, morris and company. The same year he published a volume of 'english landscapes,' with text by tom taylor. although he had painted great numbers of landscape scenes from scotland to the mediterranean, it was after moving to witley that birket foster produced the works for which he is best known - a sentimentalized view of the contemporary english countryside, particularly in the west surrey area. Although criticized for their idealized view of rural life, they were recognized for their detail and execution. Birket foster's work (along with that of other artists) was used by cadburys, the chocolate manufacturer, on the cover of their chocolate boxes from the 1860s onwards. he became ill in 1893 and moved to weybridge. He continued painting, but died on 27 march 1899. His obituary in the times referred to him as 'certainly the most popular water-colour artist of our time'. He is buried at all saints' church in witley. When his father, myles birket foster died, the artist son's obituary was published. his son, myles birket foster (1851-1922), was an organist who composed cantatas for children's voices and wrote a history of the philharmonic society, 1913. |

No in-paint whatsoever. Displays perfectly! - additional notes: housed in its original heavy hand carved gilt wood frame w/th large gilt wooden fillet liner. artist bio: austin c. Wooster, son of dr. Henry wooster and rebecca thornburg, was a southwestern pennsylvania painter of portraits, landscapes, and still lifes from 1860 to 1916. His great-grandfather, thomas thornburg, was a member of the pennsylvania militia during the revolutionary war. He was born on the thornburg farm in chartiers valley, allegheny county, pennsylvania. This is now part of a town called thornburg. Austin's grandparents, jacob and jane lorain thornburg, who raised him after the early death of his parents, discouraged his art, looking on it as an insane fancy or crime, rather than as a gift. wooster lived in green tree (then called union township), allegheny county, pennsylvania where he earned his living as an artist and did occasional work at house painting. Wooster had a studio in pittsburgh at fourth avenue and wood street. He exhibited his work in various ways, including the 1890 western pennsylvania exposition society, and pittsburgh department stores, where he sold his work. Wooster also did work for hire; painting houses, farms, and vineyards in neighboring communities. According to two of wooster's neighbors he did portraits, and he gave lessons in watercolor to at least one young girl, also a neighbor. during the civil war, he served with the union army, was captured and held at libby prison. Except for that episode, he is thought to have lived and worked exclusively in the pittsburgh region. Earlier in his career, he specialized in river landscapes but later turned to still lifes where he utilized many of the stylistic and compositional devices as albert f. King, and artist wooster obviously admired and possibly even studied with. Wooster's still lifes are painted in a somewhat out-dated style for his time, usually simple, almost flat arrangements instead of the trompe l'oeil effects and elaborate compositions which were popular at the turn of the century. |

Browne also did floral paintings but her reputation was for her ability to paint cows as though they were actually standing in the field. A child protege, she received early art training from her artist-neighbor, thomas moran, from elizabeth and kate greatorex, and frederick freer who came from philadelphia to give her lessons. browne studied in paris, beginning 1889, with julian dupre, 'one of the great french painters of cattle', and then went to holland. There she bought a cow to use as a model. Painting this animal in a pose of rebellion against being tied by her to a post, she created a painting called 'unwilling model' that she exhibited in the 1893 columbian exposition in chicago. browne was the first woman artist member of the old lyme, connecticut art colony, and in 1905, filled a request to paint a door panel of the florence griswold mansion at old lyme. memberships included the national association of women artists, the american water color society, and the society of painters of new york. She exhibited in 1890 with the paris salon, the national academy of design for 50 years, the art institute of chicago four times between 1892 and 1922, and the pennsylvania academy of fine arts between 1921 and 1936. she married writer frederick van wyck, for whom she did book illustrations including recollections of an old new yorker. |

Rehn. Lower right, seascape depiction with american warships, housed in its original gilt wooden frame and would make an impressive addition to any fine household or collection.

(framed) - condition: canvas professionally relined, light normal wear to the frame. background: a highly successful 19th-century marine painter, frank rehn determined to be exclusively american in his fine art painting, although french impressionism heavily influenced his style. Ironically he was 'one of the first americans to introduce the impressionist style of painting to his fellow countrymen. ' because of his dedication to being 'pure' american, he avoided going abroad for further art study beyond his schooling from age 18 at the pennsylvania academy of the fine arts with christian schussele. His course work included portraiture, marine, still life and figure painting. rehn was born in philadelphia. After finishing his training at the pennsylvania academy, he supported himself with portrait commission work and by selling terra cotta plates. He also painted many landscapes and still lifes, and won exhibition awards for these subjects. However, a trip to the new jersey shore turned his interest to marine painting, especially seascapes. It is likely that a major influence was the suggestion of fellow artist russell smith that rehn focus on marine painting. he moved to new york city in 1881, and with other artists set up a studio at the hotel chelsea, a location he occupied for the remainder of his life. Painting with childe hassam, john twachtmann and william merritt chase, he summered in magnolia, massachusetts where he died in 1914. memberships included the american watercolor society, national academy of design, salmagundi club and lotus club. |

19th century antoine-louis barye bronze figural grouping of 'abduction of helen' by the trojan prince paris, wife of menelaus of sparta. When menelaus demanded her return, the trojans refused. Menelaus then persuaded his brother agamemnon to lead an army starting the trojan war. details: - artist: antoine-louis barye (french, 1795-1875) - signed: barye (base), f. Barbedienne. Foundur paris (back) - size: 17-1/4 in. Length x 7-1/4 in. Width. X 16 in. Height. (43cm x 18cm x 40cm) - weight: 45lbs. - condition: some rub wear to the patina in spots, otherwise excellent condition. background: antoine louis barye (french, 1795-1875) was an accomplished artist and sculptor. Barye’s work is almost exclusively studies of wild animals, but he also produced equestrian groups as well as mythological figures. His animal sculptures are usually of a violent nature, his models are technically competent and based on studies of actual wild animals, both living and dead, at the jardin de plantes, the botanical garden in paris where he spent much of his time. antoine louis barye was born in paris, france on september 24th, 1796. Barye began his career as a goldsmith and studied under sculptor francois-joseph bosio and painter baron antoine- jean gros. In 1818 he was admitted to the école des beaux arts. In the following years he discovered his passion for drawing animals at the jardin des plantes, later transforming his visions into sculptures. barye's first salon exhibit, the milo of croton, in 1819 was awarded the second prize, but many of his later entries were turned down. At the 1831 salon, barye exhibited his masterpiece, tiger devouring a gavial, which was bought for the luxembourg gardens and now resides in the louvre. By 1832 he had mastered a style of his own, exhibiting lion and snake. Barye began exhibiting year after year these studies of animals. The animal groups reveal him as inspired by a spirit of true romance, as in his roger and angelica on the hippogriff cast in 1840, drawn from an episode in orlando furioso, and a feeling for the beauty of the antique, as in theseus and the minotaur cast in 1847. Barye was no less successful in sculpture on a small scale, and excelled in representing animals in their most familiar attitudes. Examples of his larger work include the lion of the column of july, of which the plaster model was cast in 1839, various lions and tigers in the gardens of the tuileries, and the four groups--war, peace, strength, and order cast in 1854. even though barye attained much commercial success with his bronzes and monuments, the committee of the salon refused many of his entries in 1836. This angered barye so much that he refused to exhibit at the salon again until 1851. His royal and state monumental commissions, as well as the patronage of the duke of orleans, and the dukes of luynes, montpensier, and nemours, allowed him to hire the finest foundry craftsmen in paris and turn his hand to producing his smaller bronze models himself in his own foundry. Even though the period from 1837 to 1848 is considered by most to be the zenith of barye's career, he was not financially successful. It was during this time that he started cold stamping his casts, giving each one a unique cast number. Many times barye would not let a bronze leave his studio or be sold until he felt it had been perfected. Barye’s obsession with perfection and reluctance to sell unfinished works, coupled with the financial crises and revolution of 1848 forced to declare bankruptcy. His plasters, models, and the rights to produce them were sold to pay his debts. The casts made by martin, barbedienne, and others using barye’s original plasters produced from 1848 to 1857 are not as well executed and are easily distinguishable from barye’s earlier casts. after the bankruptcy and loss of his models in 1848, barye became the director of casts and models at the louvre, staying until 1850. In 1851, barye resumed exhibiting at the salon with the piece “jaguar devouring a hare. ” he was appointed professor of drawings at the museum of natural history at the jardin de plantes in 1854, a post he held until his death. By 1857, barye was able to pay off his debts of the last 10 years and regain control of the casts and models which he was forced to give up. Barye again set to casting his works himself but his newly found success and the many state commissions that he was awarded took up a great deal of his time. it was during the later part of his life that barye was given the many honors and awards. In 1855, and again in 1867 at the age of 71, he was awarded the grand medal at the exposition universelle in paris for his works. |

Watches were produced using the 'etablissage' method, where individual tradesman working out of small studios or their homes would produce parts (or sub-assemblies) which were then assembled and sold under the auspices of a single brand. In 1832, auguste agassiz began selling etablissage-produced watches under the name 'agassiz & compagnie' and was particularly successful selling those watches in north america. in the 1850's, agassiz passed control of his company to his nephew, ernest francillon. Francillon wanted to modernize the production of watches and believed that bringing all the final assembly and finish operations together into one factory would be a more efficient method of production. To accomplish this, francillon built a factory on a piece of land known as 'les longines' and the longines brand was born. This method of production proved to be very successful, and by the early 1900's the longines factory employed over 1000 people and had achieved worldwide distrubution and success with its products. |

Original gilt frame.

(framed) - condition: some barely visible pin-holes and slight in-painting, canvas needs a light cleaning, slight damage to the frame. background: hanson puthuff (1875 - 1972) was born in 1875 in waverly, missouri. He is primarily remembered for his california landscapes and desert paintings, and his involvement in the southern california art world in the early 20th century. His paintings of rolling hills, canyons, and atmospheric effects of southern california, the sierras, and desert scenes are widely admired. puthuff childhood was filled with both uncertainty and strife. He was born to a struggling carpenter, alonzo augustus duvall, and his wife, mary anne lee. When puthuff was two, his mother died and he was given to the care of her close friend elizabeth stadley puthuff, a young civil war widow who supported herself as a seamstress. She became his surrogate mother, and he later assumed her name. Puthuff remained close to her, with the exception of a period of eight years, when his father took him at age six to live with various relatives in kentucky, and later with himself for a short time in oklahoma. after studying at the chicago art institute, puthuff and his foster mother moved to colorado in 1889. She was responsible for his art training in 1893 at the university of denver art school and then the chicago academy of fine arts. Through friends and relatives she then helped him start a career in commercial art,-first as a mural painter in peoria, illinois, and later as a poster and sign painter for an advertising firm in denver. he arrived in los angeles in 1903, as an established pictorial artist, and soon had a job at five dollars a day. He worked for the next twenty-three years as a commercial artist, primarily painting billboards as well as a theater scene painter. He also was a significant teacher of private art classes. His great love, however, was 'plein aire' landscape painting, which he took up full time in 1926. easel painting grew quite naturally out of his professional commercial work. When painting billboards, puthuff would be transported by horse-drawn wagon out to a billboard and deposited for the day. When he and his helpers finished sign painting, they would often set up easels and sketch and paint while they waited for the return of the wagon. When puthuff first came to california he had been mainly interested in figural painting, but he found this new land so paintable that he concentrated almost exclusively on landscapes from that time on. shortly after leaving commercial art, the santa fe railroad offered puthuff one of his first commissions. He was asked to paint a series of different views of the grand canyon, which the railroad would use for advertising and promotional purposes. These works, grand canyon, were shown to the public in a 1927 exhibition in the offices of the railroad. They remained there for many years until their purchase by the fleischer museum. Puthuff also painted backgrounds for the santa fe railroad model train exhibits in various cities. living in la canada and corona del mar, puthuff painted desert scenes throughout california and frequently accompanied edgar payne on painting trips to canyon de chelly in arizona. He loved the bright colors and open space of navajo country. in addition to his lyrical landscapes, which he often painted along the coast south of los angeles, in the foothills of the san gabriel mountains, and among the desert buttes of the southwest, puthuff was responsible for the backgrounds of the habitat groups at the los angeles county museum of history, science, and art. This work led to a commission for puthuff to paint backgrounds for the theodore roosevelt memorial in the american museum of history in new york. After weeks of work both at roosevelt's elk horn ranch in north dakota and in new york, he completed three panoramic dioramas depicting the ranch. his work is often considered to be stylistically akin to that of william wendt, although with a wider chromatic spectrum. Puthuff is also particularly identified with the depiction of eucalyptus trees, as are jean mannheim, dana bartlett, edgar payne, and anna althea hills, and paul lauritz. he was partly responsible for the formation of the two most important artists' organizations of the period, the california art club and the art students league of los angeles. |

He was born on november 15, 1910 in paris, france and studied at the école des beaux-arts in rennes, later enrolling at the école des beaux-arts in paris. During his studies there, he entered and won a competition for the prestigious prix de rome in 1935, earning him the opportunity to travel and live in italy. Gradually blanchard began to collect images of 1890s paris, using his source materials to devote his career to painting the city’s landmarks. His style is characterized by small brushstrokes and bright colors, lending his canvases a shimmering tone. Among his subjects are notable historic sites such as the arc de triomphe, the moulin rouge, and the notre dame, which he would often repaint under different conditions—such as depicting the customers of the café de la paix strolling under sunny skies in one canvas, and scurrying to find shelter from a rain storm in another. He died in paris, france on august 10, 1988. |

PIERRE AUGUSTE RENOIR ETCHING NUDE BATHER FRENCH Lot #951 (Sale Order 112 of 366) Estimate: $1,020 - $1,320 pierre auguste renoir etching nude bather french
pierre-auguste renoir (french, 1841-1919) baigneuse debout, à mi-jambes. etching on cream wove paper, 1910. 168x112 mm; 6 3/4x4 1/2 inches, full margins. A good, dark impression. Delteil 23. provenance: affixed to the verso: kennedy galleries label, 13 east 58th st. New york, ny. Stating the above save; calling it a lithograph (when in fact it is an engraving) created posthumously. additional notes: beautifully framed in a gilt wooden frame with large cream colored linen liner. artist bio: renoir was born on february 25, 1841, in the small manufacturing town of limoges. His family moved to paris when he was four years old. Gounod advised him to become a musician, but renoir felt more compulsion toward the graphic arts. At thirteen he joined a ceramic establishment where he painted flowers on porcelain. Later he supported himself by decorating fans. In 1861 he joined the gleyre atelier where sisley, monet and bazille were also studying. None of them was very happy there, but renoir especially was out of sympathy with the academic atmosphere of the place. When the master accused him of seeking amusement from painting, he replied that of course he did, or he would otherwise abandon the pursuit. After a year he began to work without a teacher, adapting courbet's trick of using a palette knife, and painting with purer and lighter colors. he first exhibited in 1868; he also participated in the famous nadar exhibition of impressionists in 1874. He was dependent on portraiture for his living until the auctions of his works in 1875 and 1877 which brought him some independence and enabled him to travel. In 1883 a sort of break occurred in his work. He felt he had gone to the end of impressionism; he was reaching the conclusion that he did not know how to paint or draw. This bewilderment and discouragement, though exaggerated, had a salutary effect, for renoir reviewed his methods, again studied the works of old masters whom he loved and went on painting pictures, better than before. by the 1890s renoir was well settled into family life. Owing to his delicate bronchial tubes, he and his wife with their young son pierre spent the winters by the mediterranean and often in summer visited seaside spots on the channel. In 1893, a second son, jean, was born. Jean renoir was to become the now famous movie director. suffering from failing eyesight in his later years, renoir began to use stronger colors. His last years were spent in provence where he continued to paint although he could only get about in a wheelchair and his hand was so crippled with arthritis that his brush had to be strapped to his wrist. He could no longer get far from the house, but finding he could paint every day he was contented. He died in cagnes. |

(framed). - condition: light wear and slight paint loss to the lower part of the canvas, light wear to the gilt frame, otherwise excellent condition. biography 1927-2012 nicola simbari (born 1927 - died 2012) is an italian painter. Though born in san lucido, calabria, nicola simbari was raised in rome, where his father was an architect for the vatican. He studied at the accademia delle belli arti and in the 1940s he began devoting himself to painting in a studio at via del babuino in central rome. He began to develop a distinct style stemming from impressions of life, nature, and the mediterranean, impressions which abstractly reflect themselves in the purely vivid and passionate colors of his work. Simbari's originality and commercial appeal brought his art to exhibitions in london and new york by the 1950s, solidifying his international reputation. Nicola simbari is considered by many to be italy's most important living artist. He is a semiabstract impressionist. Using stunning colors and favoring brilliant tones, he paints with a palette knife and achieves great depth with this technique. Simbari's paintings are full of light and energy. Simbari was born in calabria, italy and this beautiful area greatly impacted his mediterranean paintings: the blues of the ocean and sky, and the bright hues of the flowers. His family moved to rome when he was young and his father worked there as a vatican architect. Rome's art masterpieces so impressed simbari that, by age 13, he decided to study art and enrolled at the accademia delle belle arti. He opened his first studio in rome at 22 years of age. Simbari's early works featured scenes from his childhood - gypsies, cafes, fishing villages, and the italian countryside. He saw success almost immediately, and shortly after a one-man show in london, he was commissioned to paint murals for the italian pavilion at the 1958 world's fair in brussels. His show 'le cirque,' reflected the same excitement on his canvasses as is felt at an actual circus. The show was highly acclaimed in paris, new york, chicago, and los angeles. 'when i paint, i'm like a writer,' simbari states, 'i must have something to say. My paintings are like entries in a diary because they are all reactions to things i have seen or felt. ' mediterranean landscapes and paintings of contemporary european life are usually simbari's subjects, although he also paints scenes of the southwest. 'there's terrific drama in the desert. It's mysterious and magical, and the most dramatic natural sculpture i've ever seen. ' simbari's canvases are filled with color and emotion. Simbari's works can be found in numerous museums and private and corporate collections around the world. His paintings are in collections including the bank of tokyo and the christian dior collection in paris; italian state railways in rome; liberty company in london; and tulsa bank of commerce, cincinnati fine arts department, exxon corporation, general mills corporation,and pepsico, in america. Major american and english critics have called simbari 'thoroughly disarming'; one who paints 'boldly and in a state of excitement'; 'whose personal enthusiasm and enormous zest for life have much the same infectious appeal as do his paintings.

Displays beautifully! - additional notes: housed in its original folky blue painted wooden frame with large wicker/rattan border. artist bio: david burliuk was a central figure in the history of the russian avant-garde* movement as an accomplished poet, art critic, and exhibition organizer. 'he was one of the world's first hippies, and painted the words 'i burliuk' on his forehead and stood on street corners reciting poetry. ' he was born into a privileged class of russian society. His wife was educated with the czar's children, and he was well positioned to become an artistic leader. Burliuk studied at the kazan school of fine arts in 1898, and then studied in odessa, moscow, munich, and in paris at the ecole des beaux arts*. His early works were fauve-like, 'violent in color and heavy with paint' and were exhibited with the blue riders in munich. in russia, as a breaker of artistic tradition, he was expelled in 1911 from the moscow institute. With other futurists*, he undertook a public campaign with lectures, journals and films--all focused on the craziness of modern, industrial life. with the advent of world war i, he left russia and traveled for four years including to siberia, japan, and the south seas. To start all over again, he moved to america in 1922 and settled on long island where he continued to paint until his death there in 1967. his subjects range from neo-primitive paintings to peasant life in russia to futurist depictions of south sea fishermen. Much of his painting in russia vanished in the russian revolution. Throughout his life, burliuk was innovative, energetic and upbeat. In the united states, he developed his 'radio style', a style that involved symbolism*, neo-primitivism, and expressionism*. 'but burliuk's early work in pre-revolutionary experimental art was his most creative. ' |

At the end of the book, following nelson’s account of his years in the house, the society added the following text from the eulogy given at nelson’s funeral by his friend, the rev. William dolan fletcher: 'february 6, 1978 marked the end of an era at ‘seven hearths’ because on that day george laurence nelson died. ‘seven hearths’ had seen many a tenant since its building in 1751 but none had been so devoted, none so interesting in personality, none so committed to everything that ‘seven hearths’ had meant over two centuries. ' “nelson was born george laurence hirschberg in new rochelle, ny, on september 26, 1887, the son of carl and alice kerr-nelson hirschberg, and the youngest of three brothers. His parents were artists of no little repute in both the american and european art scenes. his father, carl hirschglnbook_lgberg, born in berlin, germany, came to the united states where he started school in new york city at the age of six. before he finished his education, he became one of the prime movers and shakers in the american art movement, first as reorganizer of the art students league and then as co-founder of the salmagundi club in 1875. As a young man, he went to paris to study under alexandre cabanel whose influence he would pass on to his youngest son – classical design, modern media, timeless mood. while in paris he met another young artist, one from london, named alice kerr-nelson, and in 1881 they were married. After the birth of their first son, carl nelson hirschberg, they returned to the united states in 1884. Working together as a team, the carl hirschbergs would set the pattern for american design in calendars, fashion literature, painting in oil and water color and etching. ' |

Displays perfectly. - additional notes: housed in its original heavy hand carved gilt wood frame w/th large linen liner. Some wear to the frame (see images). background: robert philipp, painter and etcher was born february 2nd, 1895 in new york city. He studied at the art students' league with frank vincent dumond and george bridgman from 1910 to 1914. He also studied at the national academy of design with volk and maynard from 1914 to 1917. philipp's greatest critic, philipp himself, said 'the excitement of creating a picture never leaves me. It becomes more and more a delirium. Sometimes while painting, i awaken to the fact that i have gone through a subconscious experience. I find myself painting the visible, yet with a subjectiveness which changes reality into something transferred from an inner eye. I find myself using patterns, lines, and dimensions that i see in the visible and that come through the invisible. I know that my reality is not realism but my perspective of it, and a commentary upon it. The past, the present, and the future, become a blend. Only the essences within nature are the catalysts and the combinations that draw from me the reflections or them,-of me, and through me, as an instrument. ' (robert philipp, 1970) philipp painted a wide range of subjects that included genre, portraits, holland, paris, bars, nudes, clowns, flowers and coasts. His style employed an often-unusual use of color that although different, seemed intriguing and appropriate to the composition. He favored subjects of leisure often depicting scenes such as ladies in a balcony enjoying a show, girls in interiors reading, a night out, a stroll in the park... Although often overlooked by art scholars today, philipp was universally appreciated during his lifetime. He conveyed his subjects with a certain sensitivity and understanding that his viewers could relate to. |

This sculpture would make an impressive addition to any fine household or collection. Artist signature / marks: signed on the lower back “f. Goldscheider, wien”, “austria” and numbered. Details: - size: 17-1/2 in height. - condition: excellent. Background: goldscheider manufactory and majolica factory (german: goldscheider'sche porzellan-manufactur und majolica-fabrik, (now) goldscheider keramik) is an austrian ceramic manufactory. In 1885, friedrich goldscheider came from the small bohemian city of pilsen to vienna and founded the goldscheider manufactory and majolica factory. It became one of the most influential ceramic manufactories of terracotta, faience and bronze objects in austria with subsidiaries in paris, leipzig and florence. For over half a century goldscheider created masterpieces of historical revivalism, art nouveau (jugendstil) and art deco. Famous artists such as josef lorenzl, stefan dakon, ida meisinger and the two perhaps best known austrian ceramic artists michael powolny and vally wieselthier worked for goldscheider. Several of the artists who worked for goldscheider also worked for other viennese studios, such as augarten, keramos or for the german brands rosenthal and meissen. The goldscheider family emigrated in 1938 to united kingdom and usa. Walter goldscheider startet a new factory in trenton, new jersey and returned to vienna in 1950. Marcel goldscheider went to stoke-on-trent and produced figurative ceramics for myott and opened his own studio in the 1950s in hanley. Both brothers died in the early 1960s. More than 10,000 different models were created over a period of three generations. Since the very beginning many of these won first prizes and gold medals at innumerable world fairs, exhibitions and trade fairs. Goldscheider figures are nowadays very much sought after by collectors worldwide and reach astonishing prices at auctions such as sotheby's, christie's, dorotheum and on ebay. Several exhibitions and lectures took place since the new book on goldscheider was presented in 2007 to the public: a big goldscheider exhibition was shown at the vienna museum (november 2007 – february 2008), at the lbi in new york (jan. – apr. 2009) as well as lectures in prague at the museum of decorative arts (june 2008) and at the 10th worldwide art deco congress in montreal (may 2009). Current exhibitions are usually shown at the official goldscheider website.

A favorite subject was distinguished elderly men going about everyday activities in gentile interior settings that reflected victorian tastes. <br><br> he was the son of a decorative painter and was initially taught by his father and then attended classes at the national academy of design. For six years, he studied in munich with frank duveneck, ludwig lofftz, and feodor dietz and during this period was part of a group of american artists emulating 17th century dutch masters. <br><br> returning to new york, he opened a studio and did decorative painting while developing the genre style for which he is known. He earned the national academy's hallgarten prize for a small painting entitled 'puzzled' and was made an associate member. <br><br> the genre paintings for which moeller became known are small in format. Small animated figures vie for the viewer's attention with objects treated almost as independent still-life elements. The objects are often 'objects de vertu- collectors' prizes.

He had a profound knowledge of the methods of the old masters and of their techniques. Throughout his canvasses will be found qualities of texture and color such as can only be produced by these ancient methods. caser had an insatiable enthusiasm for painting. He had a child-like simplicity and gave forth a warmth of friendliness but with an almost timid reserve. His six years at the conservatory of music in venice proved a valuable asset, for there are musical qualities and an ever-present gaiety in his imaginative and decorative canvasses. john singer sargent while working on his boston museum decorations, made several trips to see the self-portrait of caser in the home of h. Dudley murphy in lexington, mass. Mr. Murphy, a famous american artist, persuaded caser to come to this country, and helped to establish him in winchester. His work was well received both in boston and chicago and resulted in commissions for decorations in many homes, including the famous ginn estate in winchester. |

details: - artist: milford zornes - birth: american, (1908-2008) - title: cabin in landscape 1976 - signed: zornes 76 (lr) titled: 'costa rican home' milford zornes ana in verso (in black ink in artist hand) - medium: watercolor on paper - size: 22 x 30 inches / 13 x 12 in. (framed). - condition: very good to excellent. Displays beautifully! - additional notes: housed in its original hand carved important american newcomb-macklin frame (with typical gusseted corner splines). artist bio: watercolor painting enjoyed a major renaissance early in the 20th century in southern california when a group of artists began using it as a primary medium. Scholar gordon mcclelland, in his recently published book, california watercolors 1850-1970, places the beginnings of the california style in the 1920s. Milford zornes, one of the members of this group, turned ninety-five in january 2003, and is the last living artist of that pioneering movement. born in oklahoma on january 25, 1908, zornes moved west to california during the dust bowl years. When he turned twenty, he hitchhiked across the united states, worked as a longshoreman on the docks in new york city, and then traveled to europe. After his return to los angeles in the early 1930s, zornes studied at the otis art institute. His interest in watercolor eventually led him to seek out and study with millard sheets, who was an art professor at scripps college in claremont, california. los angeles was a boomtown in the 1920s, and artists were intrigued by the blossoming cityscape. Many of their paintings focused on the street scenes of new buildings, cars and people. Others explored the stunning california landscapes of oceans, mountains and deserts. watercolor was a relatively inexpensive medium that could be easily transported for on-site paintings. Instead of using it to just color drawings, artists began to use watercolor as a medium, substantial in itself, like oil. Those working in this genre were part of the california watercolor society that included phil dike and sheets. These artists expanded the vocabulary of traditional watercolor painting by heightening the expressive qualities of the medium and expanding the size. East coast collectors and institutions took notice and began to buy their work. joining the group in the 1930s, zornes quickly became an artist of major importance. He was given a one-man show at the corcoran gallery of art in washington, d.C. In 1933. President and mrs. Franklin d. Roosevelt noticed his work and selected a painting for the white house. The quick transformation from art student to a nationally-recognized artist helped zornes launch a career that took him around the world and established him as a key figure among california style artists. zornes' works are distinguished by their broad, sweeping brushstrokes and unusually large scale. Zornes also proved to be a master in the use of unpainted areas of white to define forms in paintings such as winter at mt. Carmel, where painted mountains and trees are set dramatically against the bright white of the paper. a major theme in zornes' life and work has been his passion for travel. Whether painting the islands of bali in the south pacific or a marketplace in uganda, the climate, architecture and people of various locales have been a key inspiration. His love for other cultures led him to south america, africa, europe and asia. After his early travels in the 1920s and 1930s, zornes was commissioned by the united states military to accompany a division in southeast asia to record battles and meetings among military officials. zornes, as an artist and adventurer, has captured the imagination of art collectors and the general public. He is a kind of local hero in claremont, california, where he currently resides. Zornes has taught at pomona college, otis art institute, university of california at santa barbara, riverside art center, pasadena school of fine arts, and in many watercolor workshops. His work is included in the collections of major museums including the metropolitan museum of art, los angeles county museum of art and the corcoran gallery of art. milford zornes' life is the subject of a recently released documentary by nbc news reporter laurel erickson, created in conjunction with an exhibition in spring 2003 at the pasadena museum of california art. newcomb macklin: s.H. Mcelswain founded a framing company in 1871 in evanston, illinois, but the name by which it is known to collectors today comes from a partnership that began twelve years later in 1883, with mcelswainans bookkeepers charles macklin and john c. Newcomb, who formed a partnership in order to assume command of the business. |

(in artist hand). additional notes: this is a very rare example of tyler’s oeuvre. background: james gale tyler was born in oswego, ny in 1855, of a long line of sea captain ancestors. His interest in maritime subjects began as a young child, living on lake ontario. He moved to new york city at the age of 15, and studied marine painting under archibald cary smith (1837-1911), one of the great marine artists of his day. This was the only formal art training he ever received. he painted ships, seascapes, and yachting scenes, and quickly gained recognition among art collectors and yachtsmen. Additionally, tyler worked as an illustrator and contributing writer to publications including harper’s, century, and literary digest. in 1892, an exhibition of 67 paintings by tyler was held at fifth avenue art galleries in new york city. (at that time, tyler maintained a studio in new york. ) the following year, tyler’s monumental oil, painted in 1888, norman’s woe, of the famously treacherous reef off gloucester, ma, was exhibited at the world's columbian exhibition, held in chicago in 1893. The painting traveled from chicago by rail car to the art palace, san francisco, where it was exhibited at the midwinter fair, 1894. among tyler’s most coveted paintings are his yachting scenes, of which he painted a very limited number. These include several compositions devoted to america’s cup challenge races. towards the end of tyler’s career, he moved to greenwich, ct and for several years painted a series of oils of clipper ships sailing by moonlight, all very similar in subject matter and style. These dark pictures, however, pale in comparison to his earlier works. james gale tyler moved to pelham, ny in 1931, where he died later that year. tyler’s paintings are in the permanent collections of the corcoran gallery, the wadsworth athenaeum, omaha museum of art, mariner’s museum, peabody-essex museum, and the new york historical society, and others. |

ANDRE GISSON FIGURES IN A FIELD WITH TREES OIL PAINTING Lot #1027 (Sale Order 188 of 366) Estimate: $4,465 - $5,775 andre gisson figures in a field with trees oil painting signed lower left. Original frame. Great impressionist landscape with figures on a sunny day resting in a field with trees nearby! What a delightful scene which would make an impressive addition to any fine collection.
details: - size: 16 x 20 in. (artwork) / 24-1/2 x 28-1/2 in. (framed). - condition: some light nicks to the frame, otherwise work is in exceptional / excellent condition. biography from askart as provided by pocock fine art & antiques: although many sources cite him as a french painter, andre gisson was in reality a struggling painter in new york city. To enhance his reputation, he claimed to be french and adopted the brush name of andré gisson. He also professed to have been born in 1910 rather than his true birth date of 1921, to be more closely aligned with the founders of the impressionist movement. gisson's real name was anders gittelson. Born in 1921 in brooklyn, he graduated from the pratt institute and was a captain in the army during world war ii. His paintings reflect his adopted francophile persona, backed by travels and studies in europe and the far east and his desire to appear cosmopolitan in background. Over four decades, his one-man shows extended from new york, washington, texas and california to london, paris and tokyo. gisson's landscapes, beach scenes, and portraits were intended to create a reflective mood of serenity. The still-lifes show japanese influence in his work, while the french influence is more pronounced in his landscapes, beach scenes and studies of the human figure. However, there is little question that the artist approached his subject matter with a singular gesture, and with the 'romantic' history of his persona, gisson has a strong following among collectors of his works. paintings by andre gisson can be found in the collections of the smithsonian institution and the triton museum of art, in north carolina. Among his private collectors were president lyndon b. Johnson and w. Somerset maugham. sources: who was who in american art, sound view press, 1999. ; e.

FRANK KNOX MORTON REHN OIL PAINTING SAILING ROUGH SEAS Lot #1036 (Sale Order 197 of 366) Estimate: $5,735 - $7,425 frank knox morton rehn oil painting sailing rough seas
a splendid 1882 oil on canvas seascape painting by the well listed american painter frank knox morton rehn (1848-1914) most likely near or around the cape ann coastal beaches where rehn began summering and painting with childe hassam, john twachtmann and william merritt chase beginning in 1891. it features a rough sea with tall waves crashing into shore and a rocky outcropping as tall masted ships sail out on the horizon. The painting is signed and dated by the artist in the lower right corner. It also states 'ny' signifying his permanent address in the chelsea hotel in new york city at this time in his career. the painting has pencil inscription on the reverse signifying 'james hanna & bros detroit mich'. This is very significant for detroit michigan art collectors as hanna was the preeminent art dealer, collector, connoisseur and critic around the turn of the century. He most likely owned this painting sometime after 1909 when his firm was re-named james hanna & brothers. (as its signed in the stretcher) he was a member of the prestigious lotus club in new york city and may have purchased this there or while in new york. details: - medium: oil on canvas - artist: frank knox morton rehn (1848-1914) - signed: f.K.M. Rehn 1882 n.Y. (lower right) - tittle: sailing in rough seas - size: 28 in. X 16 in. (artwork) / 36-1/2 in. X 24-3/4 in.

Also having a small pin hole in canvas. Surface has 150 years of grim and needs a light professional cleaning. The frame being original to the painting having some gesso chips/loss and noticeable small areas of touch up all consistent with the age of the piece. Original canvas, stretcher and period frame. background: a highly successful 19th-century marine painter, frank rehn determined to be exclusively american in his fine art painting, although french impressionism heavily influenced his style. Ironically he was 'one of the first americans to introduce the impressionist style of painting to his fellow countrymen. ' because of his dedication to being 'pure' american, he avoided going abroad for further art study beyond his schooling from age 18 at the pennsylvania academy of the fine arts with christian schussele. His course work included portraiture, marine, still life and figure painting. rehn was born in philadelphia. After finishing his training at the pennsylvania academy, he supported himself with portrait commission work and by selling terra cotta plates. He also painted many landscapes and still lifes, and won exhibition awards for these subjects. However, a trip to the new jersey shore turned his interest to marine painting, especially seascapes. It is likely that a major influence was the suggestion of fellow artist russell smith that rehn focus on marine painting. he moved to new york city in 1881, and with other artists set up a studio at the hotel chelsea, a location he occupied for the remainder of his life. Painting with childe hassam, john twachtmann and william merritt chase, he summered in magnolia, massachusetts where he died in 1914. memberships included the american watercolor society, national academy of design, salmagundi club and lotus club. |

His work includes a variety of topics but is best known for his seascapes. ohio born frank h. Myers enrolled at the cincinnati art academy in 1917, studying with frank duveneck (1848-1919) and john e. Weis (1892-1962), and later, at the pennsylvania academy of the fine arts. In 1925, myers married ella price, a young school teacher. They spent their honeymoon in europe, staying in paris and taking trips throughout spain. The following year, they made an extended trip west, to colorado and california, and on their return, spent several weeks in santa fe and taos, where he met joseph henry sharp (1859-1953). myers's work includes portraits as well as landscapes and urban scenes. His early paintings show a strong sense of realism handled in a bold and expressive brush stroke, and at other times, he produced brightly colored works showing his keen interest in french impressionism. Gradually, he developed a strong sense of abstract design and in the late 1920s, he produced a number remarkably advanced paintings in an analytical style bordering on abstraction. in the late 1930s, myers's interest increasingly turned to painting the ocean. At the same time, his health began to falter and for no apparent reason, he experienced bouts of depression. In 1940, he took what was to be a year's leave of absence and moved to monterey. Captivated by the beauty of the california coast, he remained the rest of his life. Thereafter, his work was almost exclusively seascapes, with an occasional portrait commission. a well-respected leader of the carmel-monterey art community, myers served as president of the carmel art association, in 1953. His painting companions included armin c. Hansen (1886-1957) and donald teague (born 1897), and together they defined the monterey art scene for many years. After several years of recurring health problems, frank myers died of a heart attack on march 7, 1956. myers paintings are in the national museum of american art in washington d.C. , the museum of new mexico, the university of cincinnati, and at the irvine museum. - source: wikipedia |

In 1893 maillol opened a tapestry workshop in banyuls, producing works whose high technical and aesthetic quality gained him recognition for renewing this art form in france. He began making small terracotta sculptures in 1895, and within a few years his concentration on sculpture led to the abandonment of his work in tapestry. maillol, the river, bronze, 1938-1943, (displayed in barcelona) in 2009. In july 1896, maillol married clotilde narcis, one of his employees at his tapestry workshop. Their only son, lucian, was born that october. maillol’s first major sculpture, a seated woman, was modeled after his wife. The first version (in the museum of modern art, new york) was completed in 1902, and renamed la méditerranée. Maillol, believing that in. Art does not lie in the copying of nature in. , produced a second, less naturalistic version in 1905. In 1902, the art dealer ambroise vollard provided maillol with his first exhibition. air cast 1938, kroller-muller museum. the subject of nearly all of maillol's mature work is the female body, treated with a classical emphasis on stable forms. The figurative style of his large bronzes is perceived as an important precursor to the greater simplifications of henry moore, and his serene classicism set a standard for european (and american) figure sculpture until the end of world war ii. josep pla said of maillol, in. These archaic ideas, greek, were the great novelty maillol brought into the tendency of modern sculpture. What you need to love from the ancients is not the antiquity, it is the sense of permanent, renewed novelty, that is due to the nature and reason. In. his important public commissions include a 1912 commission for a monument to cézanne, as well as numerous war memorials commissioned after world war i. maillol served as a juror with florence meyer blumenthal in awarding the prix blumenthal (1919–1954) a grant awarded to painters, sculptors, decorators, engravers, writers, and musicians. he made a series of woodcut illustrations for an edition of vergil's eclogues published by harry graf kessler in 1926–27. He also illustrated daphnis and chloe by longus (1937) and chansons pour elle by paul verlaine (1939). he died in banyuls at the age of eighty-three, in an automobile accident. While driving home during a thunderstorm, the car in which he was a passenger skidded off the road and rolled over. A large collection of maillol's work is maintained at the musée maillol in paris, which was established by dina vierny, maillol's model and platonic companion during the last 10 years of his life. His home a few kilometers outside banyuls, also the site of his final resting place, has been turned into a museum where a number of his works and sketches are displayed. three of his bronzes grace the grand staircase of the metropolitan opera house in new york city: summer (1910–11), venus without arms (1920), and kneeling woman: monument to debussy (1950–55). The third is the artist's only reference to music, created for a monument at saint-germain-en-laye, claude debussy's birthplace. - source: wikipedia |

GUY CARLETON WIGGINS OIL PAINTING ESSEX CONNECTICUT NEW ENGLAND SCENE Lot #1047 (Sale Order 208 of 366) Estimate: $4,590 - $5,940 guy carleton wiggins oil painting essex connecticut new england scene
details: - artist: guy carleton wiggins - origin: american, (1883-1962) - title: a quiet day; essex, connecticut - signed: guy wiggins n.A. (ll) titled on verso (in artists hand) at essex - - medium: oil on canvasboard - size: 12 x 16 in. (artwork) / 15-3/4 x 19-3/4 in. (framed) - condition: very good to excellent. Slight yellowing to varnish. Blacklights near perfectly with 99% original surface paint. Housed in a contemporary/ inexpensively made wooden molded frame. - additional notes: this charming very well executed painting is 100% authentic and has a lifetime guarantee on authenticity. artist bio: guy carleton wiggins adopted the bright palette and lively brushwork of the impressionist movement, and is best known for his new york city snow scenes and landscapes in the area of the impressionist colony of old lyme, connecticut. the son of artist john carleton wiggins, guy wiggins was born and grew up in lyme where his parents had purchased a country house and studio. Beginning 1917, both father and son gave their addresses as old lyme, which by then was an unofficial artist colony, dating from 1903 when childe hassam began painting there. wiggins spent part of his childhood in england and on the continent where his father, landscape artist john carleton wiggins, took his family during the 1890s. Back in america, guy entered the polytechnic institute in brooklyn to study architecture. Soon he decided to become a painter and transferred to the national academy of design, beginning a life-long affiliation with that institution. wiggins studied with noted artists of the old lyme colony who were developing their own style of impressionism - combining the french traditions and emerging american technique. He may have begun to paint his signature winter scenes after an unsuccessful attempt to paint a sunny landscape in his new york studio in winter. his combination of the bright colors of urban life with flickering snowfall and the city's massive architecture (aided perhaps by some earlier training he had had in architecture) proved extremely successful. His new york cityscape painting, metropolitan tower, purchased by the metropolitan museum of art in 1912, supposedly made wiggins the youngest american artist to have work enter that museum's permanent collection. 'in the painting, the tower dominates the middle distance, but it is seen through an atmospheric haze created by the winter weather and by smoke coming from the numerous buildings that surround it. ' (pfeil). he won prizes from the connecticut academy of fine arts, the salmagundi club and the art club of philadelphia, and in 1917, he won the prestigious harris bronze medal from the art institute of chicago. wiggins set up his canvas in a variety of geographical locations including long island and the bay of fundy in canada as well as around new england. In 1937, wiggins established his own art school in the nearby town of essex. Wiggins was a painterly realist who worked on a wide variety of subjects: robust and well-loved scenes of new york city in the snow or in the spring sunshine, still-life, delicate flower compositions and the street-scenes and landscapes of foreign lands. Cartier regularly reproduces his new york winter scenes for its 'holiday card collection'. some other critics have felt that his repeated application of a similar approach to snow scenes in various locales of new york became somewhat repetitive in contrast to the spontaneity of his old lyme summer landscapes. both his new york snow scenes and delicate new england scenes are valued by collectors. Wiggins had an exhibition of his works in richmond in 1921, painting 'washington square in winter' specifically for this exhibition. The painting was subsequently purchased by the museum, and the richmond art museum's archives contain original correspondence with the artist. he had many one-man and group shows throughout the east and is listed in who's who in american art and who's who in the east. He was a member of the national arts club and the salmagundi club, both in new york. Wiggins' work is included in many collections and two of his paintings hang in the white house. |

He trained at the art institute of chicago from 1903-1906 and initially supported himself as a wheelsman aboard great lakes ships from 1906-1914, later serving in the illinois naval reserve during world war i. He also worked as a commercial illustrator. he was a master watercolorist of marine, sporting, and military world war ii scenes. He developed a love of the sea and is probably best known as a painter of marine subjects. Sessions painted images of numerous locations, from the bahamas to new england's busy fishing harbors, north to the raw fishing grounds of nova scotia, and ultimately to the navajo reservations in new mexico. not only do his works document important world war ii historical events, they visually portray and convey the spirit of the american fighting forces in both the pacific and european campaigns, commencing with the bombing of pearl harbor, followed by d-day europe through to the final phases of the pacific war, such as jimmy doolittles daylight bombing raids of the japanese mainland to the unconditional surrender of the japanese military. The chicago tribune newspaper utilized his talents and sessions is considered to be the greatest 'brush reporter' of world war ii. His works can be found in presidential collections, numerous important corporate collections and military establishments throughout the country. sessions created numerous wartime advertisements. Examples are a 1943 willys jeep ad showing the coast guard at guadalcanal, and a borg-warner ad in 1945 showing the mass production of radiators and clutches for motorized warfare manufactured in detroit. His work is highly collectible in the field of militaria wwii, 1939-1945. in 1962 the new york graphic society commissioned him to make four paintings, reproductions of which were distributed as part of the society's works of masters group. Many of his other paintings have been reproduced over the years, issued as posters and as high quality reprints on watercolor paper. sessions was married in chicago, illinois in 1946 to chrysanthy deamanthopulos. Although very prolific in the style of john whorf and ogden pleissner, he unfortunately destroyed much of his own work. he died on november 14, 1962 in chicago at the age of 80. |

Over a pre-sale estimate of $6,000-8,000 usd. artist bio: john koch, born in toledo, ohio in 1909, was an american realist best known for his paintings of fashionable manhattan and new england mansion dwellers. koch's early art training was minimal. He attended two summers at the artists' colony at provincetown, massachusetts, where he was influenced by the work and theory of charles hawthorne. After graduating from high school, he went to paris, where he stayed for four years painting on his own, never under a teacher. As he later recalled, 'the louvre taught me my major lessons. ' at a time when the world seemed to turn its back on the realist tradition, koch persisted and presented intimate views of his personal world. His paintings are populated with models, musicians, views of his studio, and his own elegant fourteen-room apartment facing central park west in new york city. his wife was a pianist and instructor and often koch's paintings were of her students. 'music,' one of koch's most representative interior scenes, pictures koch's wife, dora zaslovsky, teaching her student, the well-known musician abbey simon. A combination of outdoor and artificial light, used by koch since 1950, imbues the scene with a clear light. The diagonal line created by the direction of simon's gaze and mrs. Koch's gesture connects the two sides of the scene, which is divided by the glass shelves in the middle. The terra cotta figurines on each side of the bottom shelf echo the positions of the two people. This symbolic and compositional relationship between objects and people is characteristic of koch, and is used by him often. in defense of his seemingly 'upper-crust' subject matter, koch once stated, 'i have great affection for ... Dishonored subject matter ... [because of] the arbitrary ... Way in which it has been dismissed. Have (sic) the sensuous, the lyrical elements really been expelled from modern life? Of course not. Is modern man exclusively occupied with his own tragic plight, his neuroses, his destruction? This ... Is as much the sentimentality of our day as was the sweetness and light for which we so tirelessly berate the victorians. ' although koch is generally viewed as a painter of the rich and famous, he was not just a superficial 'society painter'. As koch himself stated, 'i am quite visibly a realist, occupied essentially with human beings, the environments they create, and their relationships. ' his style is akin to the work of the seventeenth-century dutch master jan vermeer, evoking quiet, intimate interiors, and creating luminous effects by under-painting in egg tempera and glazing with oils. Koch's compositions were elegant. His warm tones and colors invited you into his world where, as you investigate the contents, you discover treasures amongst his beautifully observed objects. |

West hoboken nj (lr) - medium: oil on board painting - size: 18 x 30 in. (artwork) / 20-1/2 x 30-1/2 in. (framed) - condition: very good to excellent. Blacklight reveals some minor in-painting predominantly in the sky area. The signature and ship blacklight cleanly, overall 90% of the surface is restoration free. - additional notes: housed in its original carved gilt wood frame. Some damage to the frame. background: antonio jacobsen, was a danish-born american maritime artist known as the 'audubon of steam vessels' a luminary painter in the field of american folk art, has long been recognized for his unsurpassed contributions to america's maritime history. He recorded domestic and international ships as they passed from the age of sail to the age of steam power, documenting a revolution in naval technology. This splendid example is one of two different steamships named philadelphia that the artist painted. The first of these vessels was built in 1885 by william cramp & son of philadelphia, and was owned by the red d line of wilmington, delaware. This example shows the second philadelphia painted by jacobsen. Built in 1889 by j.J. Thompson of glasgow, scotland, for the international merchant marine company, it sailed out of new york. jacobsen was born in copenhagen, denmark, on november 2, 1850, and he emigrated to new york in the early 1870's in search of a better living. At this point, jacobsen never imagined that his passion for art would eventually gain him both wealth and acclaim. Like many other immigrants, he went to new york city's battery park looking for work, passing his days sketching the ships that sailed in and out of the harbor. Within a short period of time a representative from marvin safe company noticed his drawings and offered him a job decorating safes. His ability as an artist was further recognized, and he soon began to receive commissions from sea captains and ship owners and eventually steamship companies to record their entire fleet. The old dominion line, the fall river line and the white star line are some of the steamship companies that commissioned him to paint portraits of all the ships in their respective fleets. The clyde line, the black ball line, the mallory line, the anchor line and red star line also sought his services, making him perhaps the most sought-after marine painter on the east coast. The acclaim that jacobsen received from all these commissions helped establish him as the foremost chronicler of american shipping in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. as the years passed, jacobsen's style became more progressive, and he depended less on commissions and more on his own creativity. His rigid style softened and he painted imaginative marine works including racing scenes, shipwrecks, and some ocean views. Works by jacobsen can be seen in most major collections of maritime art, including the peabody museum in salem, massachusetts, the mariners museum in newport news, virginia, and seaman's bank for savings. This splendid original oil painting of the steamship philadelphia is a masterful example of his celebrated work. |

The first decade of his career was spent as a designer and commercial artist--first in portland, oregon for foster and kleiser and then in san francisco. From the latter city he moved to los angeles in 1915 intending to become a landscape painter. His first exhibit in 1916 included oil paintings, watercolors and pastels as well as black and white monotypes, which he heightened with a slight tint of watercolor. antony anderson, then art critic for the los angeles times, found his nocturnal landscapes (for bartlett was intrigued by the moods of nature) among his best works. Until 1930 bartlett was a frequent exhibitor with the california art club and the painters and sculptors exhibitions. His decorative southern california landscapes, complete with eucalyptus trees and purple mountains painted in pale pastels are almost the epitome of 'eucalyptus school' paintings. in 1924 he traveled to europe with the intention of making a special study of how titian, turner and monticelli applied their color. Upon his return he experimented with the use of venetian tempera as an underpainting. What resulted were a number of imaginative landscapes and still lifes painted in a high decorative fashion with brilliant, jewel-like transparent glowing colors, which are unique product in southern california. in 1920 and 1927, bartlett organized circulating exhibitions of his own works and in 1928 he opened an art gallery for sketches and small paintings and also taught at the chouinard school of art. Although he is listed in the 1940-41 volume of who's who in american art, little record is left of his art activities after 1930 other than he was a member of the laguna beach art association until 1936. |

His election as an associate of this institution took place in 1870, and he became an academician ten years later. He died in london on 6 april 1893. the wide popularity of his work was due partly to the simple directness of his technical method, and partly to his habitual choice of attractive material. most of his subjects were found in the counties of surrey and sussex, and along the banks of the thames. One of his largest pictures, the pool of london, was bought by the chantrey fund trustees in 1888, and is now in the tate gallery. he was the father of the painter rex vicat cole. He may have been related to the society portraitist philip tennyson cole. his daughter mary blanche cole (1858-1945), also an artist, married the artist louis paul (alexander louis paul 1855-1927). |

EVERETT SHINN GIRL UNDRESSING RED CHALK DRAWING PAINTING, Lot #1083 (Sale Order 244 of 366) Estimate: $3505 - $4,535 everett shinn girl undressing red chalk drawing painting, listed american artist member of the eight red chalk on paper illustration by everett shinn, titled 'girl undressing'. Label on verso reads 'the everett shinn estate'.
details: - artist: everett shinn - origin: american, (1876-1953) - medium: chalk on paper - title: girl undressing - label: the everett shinn estate - size: 14 x 16 in. (artwork) / 21 x 24 in (framed). - condition: excellent. background: everett shinn (november 6, 1876 – may 1, 1953) was an american realist painter and member of the ashcan school. He also exhibited with the short-lived group known as "the eight," who protested the restrictive exhibition policies of the powerful, conservative national academy of design. He is best known for his robust paintings of urban life in new york and london, a hallmark of ashcan art, and for his theater and residential murals and interior-design projects. His style varied considerably over the years, from gritty and realistic to decorative and rococo. everett shinn was the youngest member of the eight. Though his work is varied and resistant to easy categorization, it is considered most commonly in art histories in the context of the eight and the ashcan school, designations that do not quite fit the range of his individual vision. shinn's relations with other members of the eight, most of whom remained friendly into their later years, were never strong. "he was an accidental member of the eight," john sloan remarked in the late 1940s when he cast a vote against shinn's nomination for membership in the institute of arts and letters. Shinn's commitment to the high life and to interior decoration rubbed a socialist and true urban realist like sloan the wrong way. Yet shinn had never claimed for himself a political stance in his art or intended to narrow his interests in service to a movement or school of art. His best works effectively capture a slice of american urban life in the first years of the twentieth century, in both a realist and a romantic spirit, and his most ambitious paintings (the london hippodrome, the orchestra pit: old proctor's fifth avenue theater) are among the greatest theater-inspired images in american art. 1876 born : woodstown, n.J. 1888–1890 studied industrial design at the spring garden school in philadelphia,pa 1890–1893 designer for a gas-fixtures company in philadelphia,pa 1893–1897 studied at the pennsylvania academy of fine arts, philadelphia,pa reporter-artist for the philadelphia press met the eight 1897 moved to new york city where he worked as an illustrator and an artist (he illustrated twenty-eight books and ninety-four magazine stories in addition to making cartoons and newspaper illustrations) 1899 first of a series of murals and large panel for private houses 1907 painted eighteen panel for the stuyvesant theater 1911 completed murals on local industrial themes in the trenton, new jersey city hall 1917–1923 worked for motion-picture companies as an art director |

He was inducted into the society of illustrators hall of fame in 1974. in the early 1930s lovell shared a studio space in new york with harry anderson and al (nick) carter. He eventually moved to the artist colony of new rochelle just outside of new york city. New rochelle was home to a number of other illustrators, including norman rockwell and mead schaeffer.

HUDSON MINDELL KITCHELL DUSK AUTUMN LANDSCAPE OIL PAINTING Lot #1086 (Sale Order 247 of 366) Estimate: $2,550 - $3,300 hudson mindell kitchell dusk autumn landscape oil painting
details: - artist: hudson mindell kitchell - origin: american, (1862 - 1944) - title: dusk autumn landscape - signed: h.M. Kitchell (ll) - medium: oil on panel - size: 6 x 10 in. (artwork) / 12-1/2 x 15-1/2 in. (framed) - condition: very good to excellent. Black light perfectly. - additional notes: housed in period victorian gilt wood stylized frame. artist bio: hudson mindell kitchell (1862 - 1944) was active/lived in new york, new jersey, rhode island. Hudson kitchell is known primarily for his ethereal and nocturnal landscapes and forest scenes. His distinctive work is often compared to that of the tonalist master, ralph a. Blakelock. In fact, the lives of the two artists are inextricably entwined. Blakelock and kitchell first became acquainted at the art factory, meekers, where they worked closely together for some years: 'to help with expenses, he (blakelock) took a menial job painting plaques, trinkets, and mass-produced landscapes in an art factory, e.C. Meekers art novelty shop, in newark…. Of course, the other artists knew whom he was.H.M. Kitchell …was part of the (meekers) team, and became a friend and imitator. Kitchell, a strongly built man and a heavy drinker, was called 'the mick' and was said to keep a quart of whiskey on his easel. He 'could uncork it and take a drink with his left hand while still rubbing color with his right. '' [source: the unknown night: the madness and genius of r.A. Blakelock by glyn vincent] in the late 1880s, kitchell left meekers to set up a paper business with several investors. In 1890, the artist established the kitchell embossing company in bayonne, n.J. , which he sold six years later. from 1889 to 1904, the kitchell family resided in brooklyn, new york. They subsequently relocated to nearby long island where the artist set up a new studio at 305 fairtown park in hempstead. At that time, kitchell became embroiled in an art scandal widely publicized by the press. It was alleged that the artist was part of a forgery ring that produced copies of blakelocks. However, these charges were never substantiated. Recent biographies on blakelock address the counterfeiting allegations that pursued kitchell throughout his latter years: 'so abundant were the forgeries that the authorities began an investigation. John t. Dooling, an assistant district attorney of new york city, was quoted in an newspaper report as saying that 'there is a factory somewhere in brooklyn where clever artists are turning out scores of blakelocks…. ' after his meeting with blakelock, dooling investigated a former student and associate of the artist, h.M. Kitchell, a painter and a decorator, who had known blakelock thirty-five years earlier, when they had worked for the same furniture maker. They had collaborated on decorating panels, screens and furniture with blakelock doing the landscapes and kitchell, the still lives. After the furniture maker went out of business, kitchell became a paper salesman and later a painter. Through much of his forty-year career, kitchell painted typical blakelock subjects such as moonlit forest scenes with thickly painted trees, forest interiors, and indian encampments which he rendered more prosaically… although kitchell admitted having touched up one painting blakelock identified as spurious, dooling did not press charges. ' 'mrs. (beatrice van rensselaer) adams, however, pressed on with her own investigation. She was convinced that the young gallery in chicago was responsible for selling a number of fake paintings made in the new york area. About a month after dooling gave up, adams, accompanied by a detective, went to lynbrook, long island, and paid a surprise visit to the studio of h.M. Kitchell, whom she suspected of supplying young with fakes…. The art periodicals rallied to young and kitchell's defense, portraying her (mrs. Adams) as a philistine who had long exploited blakelock for sensationalistic purposes. But adams, this time, was not far off the mark. Kitchell, it turned out, was none other than the 'mick', the painter who had once worked alongside blakelock in the art factory in newark in the early 1880s. Kitchell did indeed paint like blakelock and admitted to supplying young with dozens of paintings. Kitchell, though, said he signed his own name to his work. ' 'kitchell continued to cast his shadow. On march 24, 1923, robert vose wrote that he heard that cora (blakelock) had authenticated blakelocks that 'in the opinion of my informants were very bad. ' he was concerned that n.Y. And chicago were being flooded with 'pictures of the kitchell brand,' and because of this many dealers were afraid to handle blakelocks. ' letter from r. Vose to allen blakelock, 1924. |

(framed). - condition: black lights with 99% perfect, overall excellent condition. background: alfred-arthur brunel de neuville (1852 - 1941) was a french painter. having received a somewhat basic training from his father, he became famous in his twenties and thirties as a leading animal artist of the paris school focussing on domestic cats and then later on still life subjects, such as fruit and flowers. He exhibited work at the societe des artistes francais from 1879 and was elected a member in 1907. Throughout his life brunel de neuville worked hard to improve his skills and later paintings are both more complex and intricate than earlier works. Both dogs and cats became popular as the subjects of a sentimental/realist genre at which de neuville excelled. His trademark painting is a group of mischievous kittens playing with a ball of wool or other domestic object. Although the style is broadly realist, some of the cat paintings are just a touch impressionistic in tone. Certainly the cats are not depicted as a natural subject in a strict realist way. Many of his still lifes have a charming french bucolic feel. brunel de neuville was highly popular during his lifetime, but since his death popularity has waxed and waned. Certainly lovers of modern art will abhor the sentimentality of the genre. In terms of value his work fetches more in north america than in europe. European auction prices are between €2,500 and €5,000, but in the usa prices can go over $10,000. One of his best and largest canvasses is on sale in a gallery buenos aires at $20,000. brunel de neuville died in 1941 and is buried in montmartre cemetery in paris. His works can be seen in museums at beziers, brest, chateau thierry, louviers. |

It became one of the most influential ceramic manufactories of terracotta, faience and bronze objects in austria with subsidiaries in paris, leipzig and florence. For over half a century goldscheider created masterpieces of historical revivalism, art nouveau (jugendstil) and art deco. Famous artists such as josef lorenzl, stefan dakon, ida meisinger and the two perhaps best known austrian ceramic artists michael powolny and vally wieselthier worked for goldscheider. Several of the artists who worked for goldscheider also worked for other viennese studios, such as augarten, keramos or for the german brands rosenthal and meissen. the goldscheider family emigrated in 1938 to united kingdom and usa. Walter goldscheider startet a new factory in trenton, new jersey and returned to vienna in 1950. Marcel goldscheider went to stoke-on-trent and produced figurative ceramics for myott and opened his own studio in the 1950s in hanley. Both brothers died in the early 1960s. more than 10,000 different models were created over a period of three generations. Since the very beginning many of these won first prizes and gold medals at innumerable world fairs, exhibitions and trade fairs. Goldscheider figures are nowadays very much sought after by collectors worldwide and reach astonishing prices at auctions such as sotheby's, christie's, dorotheum and on ebay. several exhibitions and lectures took place since the new book on goldscheider was presented in 2007 to the public: a big goldscheider exhibition was shown at the vienna museum (november 2007 – february 2008), at the lbi in new york (jan. – apr. 2009) as well as lectures in prague at the museum of decorative arts (june 2008) and at the 10th worldwide art deco congress in montreal (may 2009).

Each plate is hand-painted and thus unique unto itself 'imps on a bridge' is a work of the 20th century designer, daisy makeig-jones, who celebrates story-telling and make-believe through the use of fanciful images, brilliant colors and imaginative detail. Her best works were produced from 1915 - 1930 by wedgewood. In 'imps on a bridge', the artistry of daisy makeig-jones is seen both in the elaborate designs she created and in their artful and technically masterful execution. Much of her work was based on illustrations from popular children's books of the time, but was also known to accompany her work by fascinating written tales of her own. From an historic perspective, wedgewood fairyland lustre foreshadows the popularity of cartoon animation done by such artists at walt disney in productions like 'fantasia'. Add this true collectors piece of 20th century design to your collection today.

Diameter. - estate condition; that is, no chips, cracks, scratches or repairs (checked under black-light). background: the fairyland lustre design was created by daisy makeig-jones. She started her career at wedgwood in 1909. Between 1916 and 1941 she was chiefly responsible for the creation and expansion of the fairyland lustre line. You could buy something from the line as late as 1941. However, production basically halted in 1931 due to the global recession. Only 14 of the 101 pattern designs were available for sale after 1931. Most of the most important lustre pieces were executed in the 1920s. fairyland lustre is popular today because it is completely different not only from what wedgwood was making at the time, but it was a totally unique look. Most of the china used black or orange as the background color. It was then decorated with fairies, elves, goblins, and ghosts of all colors and sizes. |

Also, mellen was known for the heavy application of yellow-ochre pigment in the composition of the sky and has even painted the man standing in the rowboat in other paintings.

(framed) - condition: could use a light cleaning, otherwise very good to excellent. background: antoine blanchard was born in france on november 15, 1910 in a small village near the banks of the loire. He was the eldest of three children and his father, a carver, managed a small carpentry and furniture shop. Antoine would watch his father hand carve the furniture and began to display an artistic flair early in life - in an effort to promote this talent, his parents sent him to blois for drawing lessons. He continued his training in rennes at the ecole des beaux-arts where he studied sculpture and drawing. Upon completion of his studies, he was awarded the schools highest award: le prix du ministre. by 1932 he left rennes and traveled to paris to study. He enrolled at the ecole des beaux-arts and after a few years entered the competition for the prix de rome. It was in paris that he developed a love for the city and it's street life. many of the subjects and scenes he portrayed were taken from images he collected of paris during the 1890's, and he would often work on paintings for days or months before he finally felt they were complete.A.P. Larde comments in his book antoine blanchard, his life his work that he has always spent much time on his work: this explains why his production has always been rather limited, unlike the hurried and multiple proliferations of some modern artists… delicate touches of luminous and shimmering tones produce a marvelous impression of harmony, brightness and light. Alternate shadings and lights, sensitive and mellow blending allow the artist to attain a hardly-ever reached degree of grace, of radiant and glimmering freshness. like his contemporary, edouard cortes, he devoted his artistic career to the depiction of paris through all its daily and seasonal changes. But he was not an imitator of cortes, but rather depicted the life of paris at the turn of the century from his own point of view and with his own, unique style. Larde makes an interesting comparison: edouard cortes has always expressed himself in a rather rich virile style, using large and stressed touches, revealing a strength, which recalls the great masters of the xviiith century. on the contrary, antoine blanchard has always used small strokes, with a delicate, enveloping and mellow treatment; the slight haziness which is a characteristic of his work in many ways recalls the great masters of the impressionist period. whether it was l'arc de triomphe, la madeleine, cafe de la paix, notre dame or the dozens of other historical monuments and buildings of paris, his focus was on the daily life of paris at the turn of the century. his work became highly sought after and collectors from around the world vied to acquire his new works. Today he is considered one of the leading exponents of the school of paris painters. |

OLIVE PARKER BLACK OIL PAINTING EARLY SPRING, AMERICAN (1868-1948) Lot #1130 (Sale Order 291 of 366) Estimate: $7,970 - $10,315 olive parker black oil painting early spring, american (1868-1948); infused with warmth and the optimism of a new season, this fine work in oil on canvas signed lower left olive p black of "early spring" captures several country cottages through a meandering dirt road running through a thinly wooded landscape overflowing with vibrant green fields and rock lined fences overshadowed by the hint of mountains in the distance. A work that is clearly influenced by the tonalism movement, black works with a limited palate to render an exceptionally well detailed scene. While certainly a work of realism, accurately capturing both scale and minute details of the scene before her, the result remains dreamy and slightly out of reach - an influence of the french barbizon school evident in her complex handling of the pigment. This very fine example is an outstanding selection for serious collectors of investment grade works by accomplished and well listed artists.
details: - size: 14 x 20 in. (artwork) / 22-1/4 x 29 in. (framed). condition report: original stretchers and lining, light craquelure throughout, two small vintage repairs to the upper corners of the work, replacement gilt wood american frame. background: born in cambridge, massachusetts in july of 1868, olive parker black moved to new york city in 1910. She was a student of hugh bolton jones at the art students' league, william merritt chase, and edwin blashfield at the new york national academy of design in new york. Under the tutelage of these masters and the influence of the barbizon school from hugh bolton jones, she developed a distinctive style of blending impressionism and realism in her landscapes with warm tones and sharp textures. She exhibited at the national academy of design from 1897-1930, at the art club of philadelphia, the boston art club and at the carnegie institute. She was also a member of the new york society of painters, the national academy of women painters and sculptors, the american artists professional league and in 1887 became a member of the copely society. An exceptional landscape painter, she was particularly skilled at and enjoyed executing works featuring bodies of water: streams by roads, large ponds in pastures, cows grazing along the river, trickling brooks in summer and wooded river landscapes. Much of the body of her work focuses on the three seasons of spring, summer and fall and captures scenes from west virginia through massachusetts, a large quantity of her landscapes focused in south egremont, massachusetts, where she maintained a summer home. She is incredibly well listed, being discussed in dozens of important books and studies. Her work has a very strong auction record, much of it in the five-figures and only coming to market infrequently. |

In 1989 master licio zanetti stepped down in favor of his son oscar (named after his grandfather), who had been working by his side since his youth. From his father he inherited his artistic talent, which he learned to express through the ancient glass techniques of murano as well as through new techniques invented in the furnace itself. His predilection for naturalistic subjects is reflected in a lively collection inspired by the flora and fauna of his beloved venetian lagoon : blown or massive glass objects, all executed rigorously by hand, in the best tradition of the great masters of murano. |

By great woman artist claude raquet hirst (1855-1942) born in cincinnati, ohio, claude hirst specialized in small still-life paintings, usually of old booksand pipes in the trompe l'oeil style. She was unique as a trompe l'oeil painter in that she was the first woman of note to paint in this style and also because she preferred watercolor when other trompe painters were using oil. Of her it was said that "she alternated between oil and watercolor with such facility that one critic noted 'it is difficult to distinguish the oils from the watercolors, so perfect is the execution in both. She especially delighted in painting crisp-looking pages and worn-leather bindings of old books, which appealed to viewers following the vogue of antique book collecting until the late 1880s, she painted still lives of flowers and fruit, but changed with the influence of william harnett, noted trompe still life painter, who set up a studio next to hers in a new york city building at 30 east 14th street. She adopted his masculine subjects such as pipes and tobacco. This work would make an impressive gift or addition to any fine american fine art collection.

The teacher was pleased that his student's work was being shown with the nation's outstanding painters. Besides, martino's landscapes bore sold signs... He was urged to continue painting, which he did for the next fifty years. Antonio martino's work is a prominent example of the long tradition of realistic painting and instruction in philadelphia. the instructor who wrote the congratulatory letter was albert jean adolphe, a student of jean leon gerome in paris, as was thomas eakins. In addition to this strong background, martino also absorbed the light, colour and atmosphere of impressionism and the solid form of cubism. early in his career he decided to concentrate on landscapes, and painted along the darby creek and on the delaware river above new hope. He first exhibited at age seventeen, and while still in his early twenties was winning prizes in philadelphia at the art club, the sketch club, and at the sesquicentennial, and in new york at the national academy of design. These landscapes were painted out of doors with the direct impressionistic brushwork of redfield and schofield. Later he did countless views of manayunk and east coast subjects, gradually developing his personal style of solid, simplified compositions in rich tone and colour.

He was much influenced by the french barbizon impressionists, and his signature grandiose eastern mountain landscapes with dramatic cloud formations were much sought after during his lifetime. he was raised in a family of itinerant farmers and early apprenticed to a harness maker and sign painter. His commitment to becoming an artist resulted from his seeing landscapes by george inness sr. In an exhibition in cincinnati in 1857. He made a trip to new york to meet inness, who recognizing the young man's talent, helped him secure to the patronage of nicholas longworth of cincinnati. this financial help enabled wyant to study for a year at the national academy in new york city, where he settled for a short time in 1863. By 1865, he was in karlsruhe, germany with hans fredrik gude, a norwegian artist of the dusseldorf school. Wyant also lived in england and was much influenced by the landscapes of j.M.W. Turner. In 1867, he returned to new york city where he established a studio and from where he traveled frequently into the adirondack and catskill mountains. in 1873 he was part of an expedition into new mexico and arizona where he painted many sites including canyon de chelly in navajo country. On this trip, he suffered a stroke, which paralyzed his right hand and forced him to paint with his left. It was said that this led to a freer style, lighter tone, and looser technique, all of which paralleled the growing taste of the american public. A critic, charles caffin, wrote of his paintings that they were 'pregnant with suggestion' and were a 'search for the spiritual, poetic side of nature through an expressive simplification of composition and tone. ' (lowrey 180) in 1889, alexander wyant moved to arkville, new york in the catskills, and died there three years later, in 1892. he was a member of the century association and the national academy. exhibitions included the following venues: :national academy of design, 1865-92; brooklyn art association, 1867-92; boston arts club, 1877-82; pennsylvania academy of fine arts, 1879-81; art institute of chicago; and metropolitan museum of art. public collections that include wyant's work can be found in the national museum of american art, brooklyn museum, metropolitan museum of art, toledo museum of art, tennessee state museum, and the kentucky art museum. |

MOSES SOYER OIL PAINTING PENSIVE WOMAN A MON AMI LOU ALTER Lot #1176 (Sale Order 337 of 366) Estimate: $2,040 - $2,640 moses soyer oil painting pensive woman a mon ami lou alter
moses soyer thoughtful or pensive woman oil painting a mon ami lou alter american, 1899-1974 thoughtful or pensive woman signed: moses soyer (ur); inscribed: a mon ami (my friend) lou alter - (in artist hand) oil on canvas 9 x 13 inches condition: very good to excellent. No in-paint, tears, or repairs. Blacklights perfectly! Re-lined. additional notes: louis alter (june 18, 1902 – november 5, 1980) was an american pianist, songwriter and composer. Alter was 13 when he began playing piano in theaters showing silent films. He studied at the new england conservatory of music under the tutelage of stuart mason. artist bio: dedicated to art expression with social-realist themes of the depression era in america, moses soyer was born in czarist russia in 1899, and was one of three artistic brothers, the others being raphael and isaac. Raphael soyer was moses' identical twin. Later in his career, moses soyer turned to the depiction of female figures, especially ballet dancers. the soyer brothers were raised in an intellectual atmosphere created by their father, a hebrew scholar. In 1912, the soyers emigrated to the united states and eventually settled in new york city. moses soyer's artistic studies began in 1916, and included classes in new york at cooper union, the national academy of design, the educational alliance, and the modern school, where he was influenced by robert henri and george bellows. After traveling to europe on a fellowship, soyer taught at several schools until the depression made such teaching positions scarce. the depression, in fact, set the mood for most of soyer's art expression. The works project administration provided him with work as well as the fellowship of other artists, but the era itself provided the social sentiments which permeate most of soyer's work. Using some of the techniques of his favorite artists, such as van rijn rembrandt and gustave courbet, he portrayed his subjects in the perseverance of hard work or in the uncertainty of unemployment. as an artist, soyer was particularly sensitive to the lack of work during the depression and to the fact the works projects administration provided employment for many artists who would have remained unemployed. He was opposed to landscape painting, and pursued the opportunity to use art for the purpose of making realistic social statements about his time. together, moses and his twin worked on some large projects, such as a mural commissioned by the works projects administration for the kingsessing station post office in philadelphia. after the depression, soyer tended towards ballet subjects, reminiscent of degas, yet his work retained his own personal style of conveying sentimental moods. His paintings remained popular throughout his life. Soyer died in 1974. |

JAMES MCINTOSH PATRICK ARBIRLOT MILL ANGUS OIL PAINTING Lot #1177 (Sale Order 338 of 366) Estimate: $25,500 - $33,000 james mcintosh patrick arbirlot mill angus oil painting
details: - artist: james mcintosh patrick - birth: scottish, 1907 - 1998 - title: arbirlot mill angus - signed: mcintosh patrick. (lower left); - size: 16 x 24 in. (artwork) / 22. 5 x 30. 5 in. (framed) - condition: very good to excellent. background: james mcintosh patrick, obe rsa was a scottish painter, celebrated for his finely observed paintings of the angus landscape and dundee, scotland, where he was based for most of his life. Born in dundee, the son of andrew patrick, an architect and amateur artist who encouraged his son to draw and paint, he studied painting at glasgow school of art from 1924 to 1928, studying with maurice greiffenhagen, and in paris. He continued his interest in etching which was very popular in the 1920s and was to prove a source of income for him during the depression years. A foremost landscape painter, he began his career producing highly finished etchings, but when the market for these collapsed in the 1930s he turned towards painting in watercolour and oil. He produced portraits and still life works but is known mainly for his paintings of cultivated landscapes in the scottish countryside. They are often very wide in scope yet meticulously detailed. In this he has been compared to bruegel. His style was traditional but his use of colour could be bold, as were some compositional aspects of several of his paintings. in spring in eskdale (1935) the scene seems to be viewed from a height, giving an almost aerial view, while in stobo kirk (1936) perspective is again deliberately but subtly distorted. Less unconventionally, his landscapes frequently make use of lanes, roads, waterways or other features leading from foreground to middle distance or beyond, drawing the viewer into the picture. This compositional trademark can be seen in one of his earliest landscapes, the three sisters, glencoe (1934), spring in eskdale, and many of his later works. Like many artists of the interwar period, he was profiled as an 'artist of note' in the artist magazine, vol xiv no 3, in november 1937. He received many awards including the guthrie prize and was elected a full member of the royal scottish academy in 1957. He was appointed obe in the 1997 birthday honours his works are displayed at such venues as mcmanus galleries and museum, dundee, aberdeen art gallery, glasgow art gallery, edinburgh city art centre, manchester art gallery, the walker art gallery, the national gallery of south africa, national gallery of south australia, the sydney art gallery, and the carnegie institute (pittsburgh, pennsylvania, usa). In 1999 the patrick family donated his archives to the scottish national gallery of modern art. To celebrate its victory in the 1983 university challenge competition, the university of dundee commissioned mcintosh patrick to produce to two paintings of its campus. Other examples of mcintosh patrick's works held as part of the university's fine art collections include portraits of principal angus robertson fulton and arthur alexander matheson. |

Lewis was born in philadelphia. At age fifteen, he began to study art, enrolling in a private class with paul weber. His initial works were landscapes and marine views, focusing on the lehigh, susquehana, and wissahickon rivers of pennsylvania. These paintings were described in the philadelphia public ledger as demonstrating 'a tremendous talent, great freedom from tradition,' and they ' promised a departure from the beaten tracks. ' lewis's art was in high demand from the beginning of his career and he established a national following. although he became best known for scenes of philadelphia, lewis also rendered views of new york, new england, and even cuba. Later in his career, his focus shifted to shorelines of cape may, new jersey, and narragansett, rhode island. He frequently depicted schooners drifting in calm waters, churning mills, and hidden cottages. Lewis favored watercolor, but also used oils and gouache. due to his financial success in painting, lewis was able to nurture his passion for collecting. He would often trade a group of his watercolors for valuable objects d'art. His collection included a throne that belonged to napoleon i, a set of drawing room furniture from the borghese palace in rome, and the original sketch for alexandre cabanel's birth of venus. His mansion in philadelphia consisted of two connecting houses and additional annexes that were filled with period furniture, china, and decorative arts. Wealthy and admired, lewis entertained in a grand style, hosting a number of exhibitions and events in his opulent home. lewis exhibited at the pennsylvania academy of the fine arts (1854-69) and was elected an associate of the academy in 1859. He also showed at the national academy of design in new york (1860), the boston athenaeum (1858-69), and the brooklyn art association (1862-70).
