LANDSCAPES

Mid-Century Russian Federation oil on cardboard featuring a serene lakeside scene with a boathouse, lush green foreground, and a tranquil springtime forest in the background. Signed and dated in Cyrillic by one of our favorite artists (Gustav, Yuri, 1928-2016) and housed in vintage Roma frame. 21″ x 25″, $750

More solitude. Oil on canvas signed and dated lower right “A. LeDuc, 1917.” Late afternoon somewhere in France just after the great war. No ruins or evidence of devastation, so very remote. Is this the road home… I like to think so. The bright sky promises better days ahead I want to believe. Your turn to speculate. 18″ x 23″ […]

Oil on canvas circa 1935 signed lower right “E. (Ernest) Broecker” (1893-1963). A Munich-based plein air artist of the first half of the 20th century, Broecker was known for his impressionistic, almost mystical country vistas. Presented in an earlier oil-gilt frame 22″ x 26″, $875

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.

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 […]

Mesmerizing study of the raw elements of nature… Gathering clouds, impending storm, or is it dissipating? Frozen landscape, (or one in early thaw?) with obscure village tucked in the turn of an unnamed and unknown river. Unsigned French oil on canvas, mid-century presented in its original frame, 20″ x 24″, $425. Powerful interpretation of nature from the Expressionist’s view, leaving […]

Pair. Oil on artist board. Evoking memories of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia, from the middle of the 20th century. Midsummer vistas by this as yet unidentified plein air Virginia artist using the impasto technique of pigment application going a bit beyond the impressionistic style into the realm of realism. Signed on the front by the artist Arthur Waits, and […]

This large artwork features an Italian Expressionist landscape circa 1930-40. In the foreground there are verdant fields with wheat on the right and a lake on the left. The mid-ground showcases an expressionistic forest, while the background displays mountainous fields. Oil on canvas, it is signed by the artist Emmanuel Fioli, lower right, and is housed in its original 31″ […]

In this late 19th-century oil painting on board, a tranquil mountain lake takes center stage, its serene waters reflecting the majestic snow-covered Mount Rainier in the distance. The foreground is adorned with an array of beautiful conifer trees, adding depth and charm to the scene. While the signature in the lower left is indistinct, the artist’s skill in capturing the […]

From Paris, with love… A charming small 19th century landscape which, while appearing to be English is in fact Italian, and was found in Paris! Go figure! A rusticated stone farmhouse nestled in the tranquil countryside with a dirt path leading past where silhouettes of travelers can be seen. In the foreground, a serene lake glistens, populated by graceful ducks. […]
