The Dead Artists Gallery Presents “Midsummer Walk I”

Edging toward surrealism, this hand-tinted limited edition serigraph (26/250) signed and titled by the artist Peter Ellenshaw (1913-2007) probably depicts Hyde Park, London. A graduate of the Royal Academy of the Arts, Ellenshaw was brought to California in 1947 where he worked on Disney productions for 40 years, becoming an Academy Award winning special effects artist, a motion picture production […]

The Dead Artists Gallery Presents “Les Baux de Provence”

Perhaps the most beautiful part of France… Oil on hardboard circa 1940-50 in original bleached wood frame, 25″ x 34″, signed and inscribed lower right “E. (Ewald) Becker-Carus” (1902-1995).

The Dead Artists Gallery Presents “Hope Valley”

Oil on canvas, signed and inscribed lower right by the New Hope, Pennsylvania master of naïveté and impressionism John J. Loeper (1929-2017). Essentially a storyteller, Loeper presents a nostalgic view of an idolized American way of life; the same can be said of the highly trained illustrator Norman Rockwell (1894-1978). 12 1/2″ x 16″ in original gold-tone frame circa 1970, […]

The Dead Artists Gallery Presents “As the Crow Flies”

Crisp mid-century watercolor on heavy paper in original stained wood frame 16″ x 22″ circa 1950 and protected by non-glare glazing. This artist has very successfully captured the transition from organic vegetation to inorganic rocks bordering the stream as we enter early spring. Why do I suspect this might be a fairway… somewhere? $195.

The Dead Artists Gallery Presents “Mountain Vista”

Oil on hardboard signed lower left “Averill (Courtney) Conwell” (1894-1990). Post-war contemporary artist, Conwell claimed both Illinois and New York as home. Interestingly, his art bears a striking resemblance to his contemporary Andrew Wyeth (1917-2009). In this particular painting, the somber simplicity and silence of the snow-clad hills transmit a sense of solitude, if not loneliness. 24″ x 26″, circa […]
