Oil on board peaceful landscape of a house backed by trees in a clearing, a dirt track leading into the scene, 12 1/2" by 15 1/2" as framed, signed at lower left "Westerlund" with some illegible letters before that, circa 1970's or 1980's I would guess. The lettering style and period after the name leads me to think this could be a European or European trained artist, but the scene might be American. The painting is in excellent condition and ready for display...

A rare print by surrealist print maker Ozaku Seishi, professor emeritus from Tama Art University. He is best known for small edition prints, usually up to 30 copies, limitless experimentation with printing techniques and surrealist, often graphic imagery resembling distorted reality ¬neither quite explicit nor quite horror, but rendering a fairly dark version of dreams. This aquatint is from a 1974 portfolio titled “World of Children” (子どもの世界), which consisted of 30 aquatints...

His early training and career were in engineering.

The result of that devotion can be seen readily in his sup...

Sometimes called the Mayor of Tyson Street, Edward "Eddie" Rosenfeld (1906-1983) was a Baltimore based artist, whose works are owned by the JMM, Baltimore Museum of Art, Phillips Collection and American University Gallery (both in Washington, DC). His artistic style has been classified as "expressionistic" and "alive with gutsy realism." Mr. Rosenfeld was called "The Mayor of Tyson Street" because he began the regentrification process in Mt. Vernon in 1945.

ONE OF TWO OF THIS SAME PRINT IN MY SHOP, lithograph print in elegant gray and white on black paper, 27" by 22", (and 33 1/2" by 27" in silvery modern frame), pencil signed at lower right, and numbered 5/100 at lower left. The title is "Daphne and Apollo", the imagery consisting of idealized male and female figures with leafy trees in the background, creating a most interesting and modern composition that looks almost like a "solarized" photo. Considering the complexity of this image, it is no w...

Watercolor on paper landscape of lush green mountains of Kauai, a mother and her child, palm trees and an historical one story building, the Waoli Social Hall, originally built in 1841 during whaling days as a mission church, the painting measuring 18 1/2" by 25" inside the present mat (presently unframed), signed at lower right "D Williams". The work is not dated but I would guess it would have been created around the late 1960's or early 1970's. I do not see a listing for this name but furth...

Large watercolor painting of a peaceful lane or street, buildings suggesting Hispanic origin mixing with the lush vegetation, 21" by 30" (31" by 39" nicely framed, with museum glass, yet), signed at lower right "H. Brzezinski". At first glance I considered the possibility that the scene might be Santa Fe, New Mexico, since "Calle de las Animas", sounding Santa Fe-ish, is written in ink on the framer's label, and the scene had a somewhat Santa Fe look and so forth, but having googled the street ...

Watercolor on quality watercolor heavy paper, 14 3/4" by 20" (18 3/4" by 24" as framed), the scenes a tropical street with historic old wood houses, likely Key West, Florida, and another street scene with a lone figure, signed in pencil at lower right something like "Meish...." or "Weish....."; I cannot decipher the name. The aritist probably created this in the 1960's or 1970's, and he or she was skilled with watercolor. The brush strokes are brisk but expertly placed. Condition is excellent...

“La Manège” by Bernardo Toppi, fresco on canvas, 26” x 32”, linen matt and gold leafed wood frame. Bio: Bernardino Toppi (1933 - ) was born in Rome, Italy to a family of artists and grew up surrounded by painters, sculptors and writers. In his own words, he describes fresco as “a system of painting using colors diluted in lime water on a freshly coated surface (lime plaster). Fresco is the most perfect form of historically notable painting. History gives us no period, origin or e...

A framed woodblock print by the hand of one of the masters of 20th century Japanese printmaking, 8 1/2" by 11 1/4" inside the existing mat, 15" by 18" framed, signed in pencil by the artist at lower right and numbered 43/120 at lower left margin in pencil. The image is of a nighttime snowfall in front of a traditional Japanese structure. Sekino was creating art before age 20. He knew Shiko Munakata, the famous printmaker, while still young, as they were from the same area. By 1932 Sekino was exh...

Dramatic linocut print, the sheet 26 1/4" by 17 7/8", unframed, numbered at lower left 3/6 and pencil signed at lower right and dated there 1971, the "HB" blind stamp adjacent, by the important and still highly underrated Swiss-California modernist HANS GUSTAV BURKHARDT (1904-1994). The subject is somewhat uncertain; perhaps a look at a catalogue raisonne of the artist's graphic works would provide the title. Burkhardt was born in Switzerland and arrived in America in 1924. He attended Cooper...

A large oil mixed with sand painting on canvas, signed on reverse by artist "Durrant", titled there "Rombosity" and dated there 1965. This is an unusually large work by the noted English modernist artist ROY TURNER DURRANT (1925-1998), works of whom sell with some regularity in the United Kingdom. Paint is very thickly applied and is wrinkled in some areas. The work measures an impressive 46" by 33 1/4". The piece has seen some abuse in its 50-some years; it was likely in a smoky room, and m...

An ink drawing of scrubby dunes, titled at lower left margin "Seascape, after Wm. M. Chase", signed at lower right margin "Hugo Anderson" and initialed and dated nearby 1980. The roughly 6 1/4" by 9 1/2" drawing (11 1/2" by 14 1/2" in metal frame) could be by listed Santa Monica artist Hugo Anderson (1946-)----it was found in the area----but I cannot say with any certainty that that is the case. There being no glass, the drawing has acquired a water splotch at upper right in the sky. This sub...

Watson was the "Artist in Residence" at the White House during the Carter Administration.There are tiny thumbtack punctures at the very end corners of the print(not impacting the print and not visible).

Large oil on canvas, 30" by 40" and 7 1/4" wide wood frame of the period, the subject being fishing boats on the beach, a classic work of the noted and well listed French artist CHARLES LEVIER (1920-2004). The painting is signed at lower right and signed again and titled on the reverse "Barques sur la plage". Levier was a prolific artist and his works are widely distributed around the world, but despite the volume of work, demand for the late artist's paintings remains steady at auctions in E...

It can be shipped rolled in a tube (for lower cost shipping than indicated) or with green metal mid-century spring-clip style poster frame (the present shipping quote). Chagall's imagery drawing upon his youth in Jewish ...

A work signed at lower right, of the noted Bermudian artist ALFRED BIRDSEY (1912-1996), the full sheet measuring 19 1/2" by 24" (26 1/2" by 31 1/2" framed behind glass). Birdsey was a familiar figure in Bermuda for decades, a prolific artist, the works of whom traveled home with tourists to the island. This would account for the wide distribution of his distinctive work. Today his daughter continues the family tradition, with similar looking paintings being sold to visitors. Birdsey worked in go...

Dramatic linocut print, the sheet 13" by 20", unframed, numbered at lower left 6/12 and pencil signed at lower right and dated there 1971, the "HB" blind stamp adjacent, by the important and still highly underrated Swiss-California modernist HANS GUSTAV BURKHARDT (1904-1994). The subject is somewhat uncertain; perhaps a look at a catalogue raisonne of the artist's graphic works would provide the title, but skulls and other references to death seem to predominate, and the ink is black. At lower l...

This is an exceptionally fresh example of the 1969 print "Summer", approximately 18" by 24" (25" by 32" framed) by the famous modern artist ALEXANDER CALDER (1898-1969). The print is protected behind Plexiglas, in a black shiny laminated frame. On the reverse is a certificate of authenticity from the Collectors Guild of New York. My research indicates this print was issued in an edition between 1,000 and 4,000 examples, published by the Societe de Verification de La Nouvelle Gravure, Paris/N...

An interesting painting of a brick church dramatically positioned in a rural landscape with distant mountains, the year 1898 appearing on the lintel over the door, signed at lower right corner "K. Shuck". Online research shows there was a Kenneth M. Shuck associated with the Springfield Museum of Art, having served as its second director, between 1951 and 1976. A 1954 photo online shows him standing in front of a Thomas Hart Benton painting. This may be by that individual. The painting, on can...
