$575 USD Offers ConsideredDON FAY (20th century California art) plein air watercolor painting of Malibu Pier
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
Watercolor on paper, 16 1/4" by 16 1/4" inside the mat (and 27 1/4" by 27 1/4" as framed), signed at lower right by listed, noted Southern California watercolor artist DON FAY. This is a colorful, beautifully executed work, which in better economic times sold for $2000 at a John Moran auction (THIS EXACT PIECE DID). Condition is excellent with vibrant colors and no foxing/fading. The frame is functional and all in all the piece is ready for the wall. The artist himself kindly contacted me after ...
$600 USD Offers ConsideredA.D. GREER (1904-1998) Texas artist oil study painting of western waterfall in mountain landscape
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:Western American Art
Oil on masonite, unframed, measuring 16" by 12" and margins varying from 1 1/2" to 2" on a side, signed in the paint at lower right "A.D. GEER". This is apparently a study for a more finished painting. Greer is best known as a Texas artist who painted sensitive and beautifully executed landscapes of Texas, as well as beautiful still life works. I believe this work dates to the 1960's or 1970's most likely. The signature, in what looks like ball point pen in the wet paint, is clearly that of ...
$160 USD Offers ConsideredJANICE LOVOOS (1903-2007) California watercolor art still life painting
Fine Art:Drawings:American:20th Century:California Watercolor
This is a watercolor still life, 20 1/2" by 13 1/2" inside the mat (28 1/2" by 21 1/2" as framed), signed at lower left by listed California artist JANICE DOLORES LOVOOS (1903-2007). Lovoos was born in Iowa but was in California as a child, and in the course of her long life she became a noted painter. It is for her watercolors that she is best known, the subject matter usually a still life or landscape. Lovoos died in Orange County at the end of 2007 and a number of her works have since entered ...
$1,250 USD Offers ConsideredMILFORD ZORNES (1908-2008) California Scene art black ink watercolor painting of river and trees
Fine Art:Drawings:California Art
Dramatic black ink drawing, 21" by 28" (28 3/4" by 35 3/4" as framed), signed at lower right and dated 75, by recently deceased California watercolor master artist MILFORD ZORNES (1908-2008). I actually wasn't aware he had passed on until I just pulled up the askart site for details of his highly distinguished career. Zornes has been a familiar name on the California art scene for so long that it is difficult to believe that he has passed from it. Paintings dating back to the WPA 1930's, in ...
$750 USD Offers ConsideredSAMUEL KOCHMEISTER (KOCH) 1887-1963 American naive art floral still life painting
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:Self-taught Art
This oil on canvas, 16" by 20" (24" by 28" as framed), is a fine work of self-taught listed artist SAMUEL KOCHMEISTER, (1887-1963, and also known as KOCH). The artist was born in Poland and escaped persecution by relocating in New York. Fairly obscure today, his talents were recognized early, with exhibits of his work having been held at the Brooklyn Museum, Corcoran, Metropolitan Museum, Museum of Modern Art, and the Smithsonian. By 1942 the New York dealer Sidney Janis had already included him ...
$2,000 USD Offers ConsideredUGO MARESCA Italian art beautiful large Neapolitan coast landscape painting
Fine Art:Paintings:European:20th Century:Italian Art
Oil on canvas expansive coastal landscape of fabled southern Italy, 28" by 38" (34 1/2" by 44 1/2" as framed), signed at lower right by talented 20th century Italian artist UGO MARESCA. The artist is minimally listed (and, strangely, is listed on askart as Canadian) but obviously talented and most familiar with the painting traditions of Italy's Naples/Amalfi coast region. This certainly appears to be a view of that area, though painted in the mid 20th century. The painting stands on its own ...
$2,950 USD Offers ConsideredG. SHERMAN (CORBETT) American impressionist art World's Fair painting
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:American Impressionism
This is an oil on canvas, 20" by 24" (27" by 31" as framed), signed at lower right "G. SHERMAN". The scene is of World's Fair pavilions, a footbridge, figures, trees, and Childe Hassam style American flags flying in the breeze, all handled with a skilled flickering brush. The artist to me is something of a mystery, despite his/her fine auction records, now to even five figures at no less than Sotheby's! When these paintings come available, despite their obviously very modern origins (not old ...
$195 USD Offers ConsideredJapanese landscape art vintage woodblock print fresh colors
Fine Art:Printmaking:Asian Art:Japan
Japanese woodblock print of coastal scene with figures and classic pine trees, 8 1/2" by 13" (14 1/2" by 19 1/2" as framed---the inexpensive simple frame not shown in images), the colors fresh and the print clean. I am not knowledgeable about such prints, so am unable to provide the artist name or exact age. From my limited knowledge of Japanese woodblocks, I would guess this could be later 19th century or earlier 20th. The wove type paper is somewhat heavier than "Japan" tissue or mulberry. The ...
$875 USD Offers ConsideredA. J. MUNNINGS (1878-1959) pencil signed print by highly important English master of equestrian art
Fine Art:Printmaking:English Art:Sporting Art
This is a decorative photographic process print, signed in the image and pencil signed at lower right by the major British sporting and equestrian art master ALFRED JAMES MUNNINGS (1878-1959), issued by the Frost and Reed and the Fine Art Trade Guild in 1922, and embossed at lower left with their distinctive blindstamp of the latter. This print is in excellent condition. The artist needs no introduction among collectors of art related to the horse. As perhaps the most coveted sporting artist, ...
$275 USD Offers ConsideredJOHN MORRIS (1920-1991) clown art painting by listed surrealist master
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:Pop Art:Retro/Mid Century Modern
Oil on canvasboard painting of a classic clown and a white poodle dog at right, 16" by 12", (22" by 18" as framed), signed at lower left by listed American artist JOHN MORRIS (1920-1991). The artist is associated with California and the east coast, with askart noting exhibitions in Chicago and Palm Beach. Interestingly, a collector of his work seems to have been none other than Noel Coward. When I was at his home in Jamaica some years ago, "Firefly", now maintained as a museum/grave site, ...
$225 USD Offers ConsideredJOHN GOULD (1804-1881) hand colored bird lithograph by noted naturalist and illustrator
Fine Art:Printmaking:Ornithological Prints
This is a hand colored lithograph of the species Petroica Goodenovii (the Red-capped Robin, of central and southern Australia), drawn by the famous 19th century English naturalist, ornithologist and natural history illustrator JOHN GOULD, the lithographic plate produced by his assistant Henry Constantine Richter (1821-1902). Gould's prints of hummingbirds are most likely his most popular, but over a period of many years, especially in the 1830's and 1840's, he produced a number of major works on ...
$120 USD Offers ConsideredVintage California art 1954 signed palette knife painting of Bird Rocks Laguna Beach
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
Oil on thin board, 9" by 12" and narrow period frame, oil applied thickly with palette knife, not signed on front but on reverse is written "Bird Rocks/Laguna/Arthur Gail Anderson/May 1954"; This is a vintage look at a familiar landmark in Laguna Beach, the center of the early California art movement. I see a listing for an Arthur G. Anderson born in 1935, known for wildlife art, but I'm not at all certain that this is that artist.. The painting has dirty varnish and would benefit considerably ...
$2,750 USD Offers ConsideredALBERT JENKS (1830-1901) early California art large trompe l'oeil painting dated 1901
Fine Art:Paintings:California Art
Oil on canvas, 50" by 31", unframed, signed on the spine of the book at lower center in true trompe l'oeil style and dated there 1901. This is a beautifully painted work by an historical painter of late 19th century California, ALBERT JENKS (1830-1901). It is already impressive as is, but, with a gold frame around it, I can envision this on the wall of a law office or museum. Jenks was born in upstate New York, and kept moving west throughout his life; to Illinois by 1836, where, according to ...
$225 USD Offers ConsideredEuropean decorative signed old watercolor painting of windmills along an estuary at sunset
Fine Art:Drawings:Europe:20th Century
Watercolor on paper, with some use of oil in the green areas at lower right quadrant, measuring 6 7/8" by 19 3/4" (15 1/2" by 29 1/2" overall as framed), signed at lower left "L. Ramus". I don't see a listing for the artist but he or she was clearly skilled. Condition is excellent. If you're looking for decorative art, you can hardly go wrong with this charming piece. Allow for reflections in some images. Shipping wizard figures are guesstimates. SEE HUNDREDS OF OTHER WORKS NOW IN MY SHOP.
$135 USD Offers ConsideredHungarian landscape painting circa 1960's signed
Fine Art:Paintings:European:20th Century:Hungarian Art
Decorative oil on canvas, 18" by 23" and 1 1/2" wide frame, signed at lower right with what appears to be the name "Bano" or "Bana", and initial "D". There are accents over the vowels, so this certainly looks to be a Hungarian name and scene, though, interestingly, the stretcher is American. The artist might have lived in the US or perhaps this was restretched after having been brought to the US. Regardless, this is a peaceful rural scene of two traditionally dressed women walking on a path in ...
$175 USD Offers ConsideredHungarian art mountain landscape painting circa 1960's signed
Fine Art:Paintings:European:20th Century:Hungarian Art
Decorative oil on canvas landscape with high mountains, **ONE OF TWO BY THE SAME ARTIST IN MY SHOP**, measuring 20" by 24" and 2 1/2" wide frame, signed at lower left with what appears to be the name "Bano" or "Bana" or "Baina", and initial "D". There are accents over the vowels, so this certainly looks to be a Hungarian name and scene, though, interestingly, the stretcher is American. The artist might have lived in the US or more likely, I think, this was restretched after having been brought ...
$200 USD Offers ConsideredGUSTAVE A. BRAND (1863-1944) American art watercolor painting classical lovers in a garden
Fine Art:Drawings:American Art:Watercolor
Watercolor on paper, 15" by 11" inside the mat (21" by 17" as framed), signed at lower right by listed American artist GUSTAVE A. BRAND (1863-1944). This is a nicely crafted work of an overly ardent suitor chasing his classically dressed prey in an overgrown garden setting. The artist is not well known but he is listed and was apparently known in Chicago and the Midwest as a muralist. The condition of the work is excellent and this could be placed directly on the wall, though I'm not sure the ...
$250 USD Offers ConsideredJOAN MIRO (1893-1983) lithograph print for 1978 Madrid contemporary art museum exhibition
Fine Art:Printmaking:Poster Art:Miro
Interesting, graphically arresting, colorful original lithograph from 1978, 27" by 19 1/2" inside the mat, protected in simple metal frame and plexiglas (not assembled currently), of a 1978 exhibition at the Museo Espanol de Arte Contemporaneo in Madrid. The upper quarter contains most of the print, the middle is the colorful area, and at bottom in large print is the word "MIRO". At extreme lower right in small print is the name of the printer, La Poligrafia, S.A., in Barcelona, and the 1978 ...
$1,975 USD Offers ConsideredBURR SINGER (1912-1992) African-American artist California painting flamenco dancers
Fine Art:Paintings:American:African-american Art
This is a very large oil on canvas, 50" by 36", plus narrow simple wood framing about 3/4" wide on a side, signed at lower left "Burr Singer", no title but the scene is of a pair of dancers, a male and a female. The female dancer depicted is the mother of a recent owner. Judging from the canvas, I would estimate the age of the painting as circa late 1950's to about 1970 or so. Burr (Bernice Lee) Singer was born in St. Louis in 1912 and arrived in Los Angeles by the late 1930's, passing away in ...
$425 USD Offers ConsideredFREDERIC WAINWRIGHT STEARNS (1903-) American illustration art 1932 Saturday Evening Post cover study of Annapolis naval officer
Fine Art:Drawings:American Art:Watercolor:Illustration Art
Ink and watercolor drawing on paper of an idealized US Naval officer in his dress whites, with 15th and 16th century navigators and philosophers displayed in lower portion at his feet. THERE ARE ALSO CHARMING BONUS DRAWINGS ON THE BACK, of 1930's boxers and wrestlers,. The piece measures 14" by 10 1/2" inside the current mat (19" by 14" as framed), signed at lower right in pencil "F W Stearns 1932 6106 Christian St. Philadelphia, Penna". This is apparently a never published submission study for ...
$750 USD Offers ConsideredGENE (EUGENIA) FRANCES BAKER McCOMAS (1886-1982) Northern California artist charcoal drawing tropical scene
Fine Art:Drawings:American 20th Century:California Art
This is a masterful drawing with a definite modernist touch, by well listed artist GENE McCOMAS (1886-1982), depicting a tropical house under palms, likely in the South Seas---perhaps Tahiti. The artist was San Francisco-born, and is associated with the Bay Area and the Monterey-Carmel area, but she and her husband traveled extensively and obviously produced art in these exotic locations. She studied with Xavier Martinez and was a muralist, but worked in many media. Her work is sometimes ...
$1,200 USD Offers ConsideredGEORGE CHANN (1913-1995) major Chinese American artist **PAIR** of portrait paintings on porcelain plates
Fine Art:Paintings:California Art
Oil on a pair of porcelain plates of 9 3/4" diameter, one a painting of a younger woman in her late 20's or early 30's, wearing a pearl choker, the other of a young man of similar age with a circa 1950's style flat top, each signed by major 20th century Chinese-American artist GEO CHANN (1913-1995). Chann is a major, very sought after painter, the abstract works of whom regularly sell for more than $100,000 at major auctions in Asia and America. One reached $400,000 within the past few years. ...
$725 USD Offers ConsideredROLAND STRASSER (1897-1974) important Austrian artist watercolor painting
Fine Art:Drawings:Europe:20th Century
Gouache on paper, 14 1/2" by 19 1/2", (21" by 26" as framed), signed at lower right in black with the distinctive signature of major Austrian 20th century artist ROLAND STRASSER (1897-1974). This is an image of a horse corral backed by a forest. Strasser's Indonesian and Bali subject matter has brought to the vicinity of $75,000 at major auctions. He traveled extensively, especially in Asia, during his lifetime. This work is in superb, fresh condition. I've discarded the old non glare glass but ...
$750 USD Offers ConsideredOriginal wildlife art painting of nesting ducks dated 1979 by Alberto Meza
Fine Art:Paintings:Wildlife And Sporting Art
One of three paintings I'm offering by the artist, this is a highly finished work, I think in tempera somehow highlighted with a protective slightly glossy coating of some type, 16" by 21" on a Crescent artist board (25 1/2" by 30 1/4" in its wood frame with linen liner), signed at lower left "Alberto Meza" and dated there "79". The subject is a nesting pair of wood ducks, the drake at left on a snag and his "wife" sitting contentedly on the eggs in a tuft of grasses above the water line. The ...
$450 USD Offers ConsideredImpressionist western or California painting river canyon in the mountains
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:American Impressionism
Oil on canvas of a small river in a canyon, 16" by 12" and 4" mid century frame, unsigned and undated but circa 1920's or 1930's I would guess. I've speculated as to the artist's identity but can't come up with anything. It DOES have the letters FG on the reverse of the canvas and stretcher; I thought it could possibly be Frank Girardin, but, there's little to go on here. The fresh, delicate blues and lavenders remind me a little of Guy Rose.....but I think I'm getting carried away. No, for now ...
$950 USD Offers ConsideredXIUPING LIAO (1936-) Chinese contemporary art limited edition etching pencil signed dated 1970
Fine Art:Printmaking:Contemporary Asian
This is an elegant etching in grays and black on heavy white paper (or possibly could be considered an aquatint with etching I believe), the sheet measuring 29 1/2 " by 21 1/2", in a narrow modern simple frame, crisply pencil signed by the artist, with a Chinese symbol resembling a traditional artist's stamp at lower right (possibly for the word "Ping") and numbered 41/110 at lower left, and titled "Life" in English and presumably Chinese, at lower left center. This is a work of the year 1970 ...
$750 USD Offers ConsideredROBERT RICHERT (1947-) listed sporting and wildlife art original 1982 oil painting of wood duck

Oil on panel, 13 3/8" by 15 1/8" ( 23" by 25" as framed), signed boldly at lower right by noted duck painter ROBERT "BOB" RICHERT (1947-), and dated there 1983. This is a very detailed, finely executed work by an artist known for his depiction of waterfowl. See his biography on line, which mentions his love for the outdoors and conservation related causes, and his efforts in those directions, as well as awards he has won for his art, such as being chosen as the 1982 winner of the California Duck ...
$475 USD Offers ConsideredOriginal wildlife art painting of wild turkeys in the brush dated 1974 by Alberto Meza
Fine Art:Drawings:Wildlife And Sporting Art
One of three paintings I'm offering by the artist, this is a highly finished work, I think in tempera somehow highlighted with a protective slightly glossy coating of some type, the Crescent art board measuring 14" by 18" (framed 21 1/2" by 27 1/4"), signed at lower right "Alberto Meza" and dated there "74". The subject is a pair of wild turkeys walking through a brushy arid landscape (note the cacti at left---perhaps somewhere like west Texas). The artist's skill in drawing and coloring the ...

This is a very detailed, finely executed painting of a male wood duck in full glory, by an artist known for his depiction of waterfowl.

Oil on canvas, 40 1/2" by 32", in thin wood frame, signed at lower right and dated "57" by important twentieth century German artist ERNST FRITSCH (1892-1965), an artist mentioned in the same sentences as Bruno Krauskopf, Dix, Grosz, and other German art world giants of the twenties. Fritsch was born in Berlin and died there, and in between made a permanent mark on the art scene. He had joined the Berlin Secession in 1919, after having served in World War I. During the twenties he was associated ...
