$3,750 USD Offers ConsideredVery old large unsigned finely painted American or English landscape painting in Hudson River style
Fine Art:Paintings:Hudson River Style
Oil on canvas extensive landscape with feathery trees, houses, figures, and a horse and wagon, very approximately 35" by 45" including the frame (I'm waiting to get the exact dimensions), apparently unsigned. This painting has been something of a mystery to me for some time. I purchased it about fifteen years ago near Sacramento, California. Not that long thereafter I sent it to Sotheby's in New York where it was offered in an Americana and folk art sale. (Note chalked "Young/Sotheby's" on ...
$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 ...
$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 ...
$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 ...
$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 ...
$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, ...
$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 ...
$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 ...
$325 USD Offers ConsideredSouthern regionalist art impressionistic landscape oil painting
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:Southern Art
Oil on canvasboard, 14 " by 10" (19 1/4" by 15 1/4" as framed), signed at lower right in red "K. L. Weatherly" and dated there 1940. One of two works by this same artist I acquired at the same time, (the other one also in my shop), this is an impressionistic view of a southern American regional landscape, a swamp or lake with bald cypress and Spanish moss hanging from the trees. Such a scene would normally be encountered in a place like the Louisiana bayous.. The artist Weatherly does not seem ...
$425 USD Offers ConsideredHARRY HUTCHINSON SHAW (1897-1989) American impressionist artist double sided painting of tropical scenes
Fine Art:Paintings:20th Century American
Oil on masonite double sided unframed painting, 23 7/8" by 19 1/2", signed in orange at lower right "H.H. SHAW", the subject on one side six figures, a man, bare breasted women and children, in an obviously tropical village, the other side three figures, the woman bare breasted. This is a painting by listed American artist HARRY HUTCHINSON SHAW (1897-1989). Shaw is today most closely associated with Florida and Pennsylvania. In the course of a long life, worked generally in an impressionistic ...
$3,950 USD Offers ConsideredANGEL ESPOY (1879-1963) California plein air art vintage impressionist painting stream among oak trees
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
For the collector of quality listed California art, this is a fine rendition of oak trees along a quiet shaded stream, measuring 20" by 30" (24 1/2" by 35 1/2" as framed in its original period frame). It's signed by the artist at lower right and on reverse stretcher in pencil, "The Oaks" is written twice, as well as "Original oil by Angel Espoy" in old hand. There is an old original blue label on reverse from Royar's Frame Shop, 717 S. Figueroa, Los Angeles. This painting was found in ...
$425 USD Offers ConsideredSouthern regional art 1940 impressionist landscape painting palmettos in a forest
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:Southern Art
Oil on canvas laid on board , 20" by 16" (26" by 21 1/2" as framed), not signed, but acquired at the same time as another work apparently also by this artist, and also in my shop, that one being signed at lower right "K. L. Weatherly" and dated there 1940. This is an impressionistic view of a small clearing in a tangled thicket in a southern American forest in a place like Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina or Georgia. The artist does not seem to be listed but he or she was talented and trained. ...
$550 USD Offers ConsideredEDWARD L. CHRISTIANA (1912-1992) well listed New York artist coastal landscape painting
Fine Art:Paintings:20th Century American
Oil on canvas laid on board, 7" by 10" (12 1/2" by 14 3/4" as framed, with linen liner), bearing a Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute Museum of Art (Utica, NY) label on the reverse giving the title, "A Lobster Pound". Christiana was a familiar figure in the Northeastern states with a number of exhibitions of his work. He was trained at Pratt Institute and the Art Institute of Chicago among others; and exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. He was also an art educator. I believe I've ...
$1,500 USD Offers ConsideredJOHANN BERTHELSEN (1883-1972) important New York City impressionist floral still life painting
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:American Impressionism
Oil on canvas still life of zinnias in a vase on a table, 28" by 22", signed in the paint at lower right by extremely popular American artist JOHANN BERTHELSEN (1883-1972). Berthelsen's paintings languished in obscurity until very recent years, when their value spurted upwards dramatically. His scenes of the familiar in and around New York City, of Central Park, Fifth Avenue, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Flatiron Building, are now bringing over $30,000 at major New York auctions. Still life ...
$225 USD Offers ConsideredInteresting painting of a small coastal harbor scene likely Cornwall England signed dated 1969
Fine Art:Paintings:English 20th Century Art
Oil on masonite, 28" by 26" and frame 2 1/2" on a side, signed at lower right "C B Bryant" and dated there 1969. This appears to be a painting of a coastal inlet, possibly in Cornwall, southwestern England. Note the figure at right with his cap, the tiny house on the dock, reflections, and the colorful boats and door. I don't see a listing for the artist but he or she was talented. The painting is quite soiled. A cleaning would be welcomed. There are a few light marks in the sky and a small ...
$1,975 USD Offers ConsideredScandinavian art antique Swedish painting of a quaint lakeside house by ALMA HALLSTEINSON (1859-1934)
Fine Art:Paintings:Scandinavian 20th Century Art
This is a beautifully executed late 19th or early 20th century work on canvas measuring 17 1/2" by 24 1/4" (28" by 35 1/2" as framed) signed in red at lower right by listed Swedish female painter ALMA HALLSTEINSON (1859-1934) (and signed again in pencil on the stretcher). The subject is a gingerbread style Victorian house on the shore of one of Sweden's many lakes, all painted in an impressionist style. The painting is in excellent condition, is very nicely framed and is ready for the wall. It ...
$795 USD Offers ConsideredARTHUR CARL WEIGLE vintage California plein air art 1930 painting of Santa Barbara Mission
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
Oil on canvas, 20" by 16" and simple wood frame 1 3/4" wide, signed at lower left in capital letters by the artist, ARTHUR CARL WEIGLE, and dated there "30". This is a charming scene of an earlier California, the iconic subject being the 18th century Mission Santa Barbara. Note the figure curled up on the steps, the leaning palm, and the beautifully painted eucalyptus leaves. The overall light palette reminds one of C. W. Nicholson's works or possibly Dana Bartlett. Amazingly I don't see a ...
$800 USD Offers ConsideredPAIR Spanish 19th century paintings signed MORA sensitive oil studies of two ladies
Fine Art:Paintings:European Art:19th Century
PAIR of oils on beveled edge thick wood pine panel, each 11 3/4" by 6 1/4" (and 1 7/8" wide silvery modern era frames), each signed at lower right in flowing script "MORA", not dated but probably circa 1880's to 1890's. There are a number of artists listed with this name but so far I can't definitively attribute these to one of them. The paintings are very sensitive, beautifully handled studies of two ladies of the countryside, one wearing a beautiful lace scarf, the other with a cloak around ...
$225 USD Offers ConsideredAmerican still life painting, signed and dated 1935
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century
Oil on canvas still life of a small statuette of a horse and a copper vessel on a small table, 13" by 15" (14" by 16 1/2" as framed), signed at lower right "Virginia Weaver". I don't see a listing for the artist but evidently she was quite talented, as the perspective and flattening of the picture plane shows familiarity with modernist trends of the early 20th century. The painting has some condition issues, such as a depression at top that shows as a shadowed area in the photos taken in angled ...
$175 USD Offers ConsideredALFRED J. CASELLA (1886-1971) San Francisco California artist landscape painting
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
This is an oil on canvasboard work, 14" by 18" plus 3 1/4" frame, by listed California artist ALFRED J. CASELLA (1886-1971). According to the Hughes listing, Casella was San Francisco born and lived there his entire life. This work appears to be a Northern California scene in the summertime. It's painted in an unusual manner that I can only describe as almost like a child's fingerpainting.....thin paint quickly but very skilfully moved around, the end result being a powerful and complete ...
$135 USD Offers ConsideredTropical art impressionist painting of a remote coast with palms huts and native fishermen
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:Hawaiian Art
For your tropical collection, here is an oil on masonite, measuring 13 1/2" by 17 1/2" in a one inch wide oak frame, signed at lower right "Machado". This appears to be the work of a most versatile California painter going by that name. Over the years I have seen a number of works of widely varying subject matter and technique, bearing that signature. In fact I just sold a Braque-like cubist still life by the same hand. This has been protected behind glass so it's in fine condition and is ready ...
$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 ...
$100 USD Offers ConsideredSigned contemporary artistic portrait painting in shades of black and gray
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century
Oil on canvas, 17" by 9" and thin original wood frame, signed lower left "M Stuart", depicting a young woman in greenish gray paint. This is more a work of figural art, really, than mere portrait. The sitter is unknown, as is the artist; I can find listed only a Mimi Stuart (1959-) that might work....but I'm not convinced it is that artist. Signature looks as if it could be by a British hand, judging from the writing. It's a professional signature, though, and this is not a work by an amateur. I ...
$1,300 USD Offers ConsideredA. G. FLEMING (British, 20th century) beautiful and accomplished impressionist painting of French harbor
Fine Art:Paintings:European:20th Century
Oil on canvasboard painting titled on reverse label "The Inner Harbour, Honfleur, France", measuring 29 3/4" by 23 3/4" (37" by 31 1/4" as framed), signed at lower right. There are some auction records for the artist but not much seems to be known on him. This is a good-sized and impressively rendered work, with the shimmering water handled masterfully in a rainbow of deftly applied color. The frame is uninspiring and has a bit of surface wear. Shipping wizard figures are guesstimates. SEE ...
$750 USD Offers ConsideredROBERT RICHERT (1947-) listed sporting and wildlife art original 1982 oil painting of wood duck
Fine Art:Paintings:Wildlife And Sporting Art
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 ...
$1,050 USD Offers ConsideredHANS BARMA (1903-) German or Austrian alpine winter mountain scene painting in the style of Lazslo Neogrady
Fine Art:Paintings:European:20th Century:German Art
Oil on canvas, 24" by 36" and 3 3/4" wide silver/goldish frame, signed at lower left by noted alpine scene artist HANS BARMA (1903-). This is an eye-catching painting of good size, by an artist demonstrating tremendous skill in the handling of light. The alpenglow on the distant peaks at sunset (dawn?), the shadowed areas, the areas in bright sun.....all handled with great control. The most famous painter of winter mountain landscapes in this style was Lazslo Neogrady, the works of whom sell ...
