LANDSCAPES

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 […]

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, […]

Oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right “T. (Thomas) Petraity, 1952,” and housed in its original ‘shabby-chic’ tiered-wood frame 22″ x 28″. A plein air artist from Chicago, Petraity aligned himself with the Hoosier School, and specifically the Brown County Salon Midwestern impressionists. Successfully marrying Fauvism with regional American impressionism, these pieces are collected today for their historic as […]

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 […]
