$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 ...
$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 ...
$2,950 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 ...
$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, ...
$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 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. ...
$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 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 ...
$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 ...
$275 USD Offers ConsideredRegional art Southern American art vintage swamp painting circa 1930
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:Southern Art
Old painting of Spanish moss hangng off branches of a tree over an atmospheric creek or swamp, dark palmetto type vegetation at left and sub tropical forest thickets at right, 16" by 24", and 1 3/4" worn old frame, unsigned. This is an old work, semi-primitive in style; the artist handled the luminous Hudson River type light very well, as well as the contrast between the thicket and the right half of the composition. If one studies the work carefully, several egrets are noted, at the little ...
$750 USD Offers ConsideredROBERT "BOB" RICHERT (1947-) fine American sporting and wildlife art painting in oil of colorful male drake wood duck
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:Sporting And Wildlife Art
Oil on panel, 12" by 15 3/4" ( 22" by 26 1/2" 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 painting of a male wood duck in full glory, by an artist known for his depiction of waterfowl. See Richert's 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 ...
$800 USD Offers ConsideredDuck art original fine painting signed Alberto Meza and dated 79
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:Sporting And Wildlife Art
For the collector of waterfowl and sporting art here is a large, oval shaped painting, titled on a placard on the frame "Taking Off", measuring 23 1/2" by 27" (34" by 37" as framed), signed near the lower edge "ALBERTO MEZA" and dated there "79". I cannot be sure without opening this up, but my best guess is that the medium used is tempera, with some kind of surface protectant or varnish on top of that; still, it COULD possibly be in some kind of oil. Surprisingly, I cannot find information on ...
$450 USD Offers ConsideredEDGAR MALIN CRAVEN (1891-1960) American impressionist art painting of Denmark
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:American Impressionism
Oil on canvas laid on board, 9" by 11 3/4" (14" by 16 3/4"), signed at lower right and dated 1955 by noted EDGAR MALIN CRAVEN (1891-1960), and titled on the reverse "Koge, Denmark by Edgar Malin Craven". This is an impressionistic little work by an American artist who was apparently very well traveled, as his subject matter ranges from Florida to the western US to Europe. Craven was apparently a banker earlier in life and only later became a painter. This work is in excellent condition and is ...
$225 USD Offers ConsideredImpressionist American painting of a landscape signed E.E. Miller and dated 1932
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:American Impressionism
Oil on canvas landscape with a home and small out building, possibly but not at all necessarily a California scene, measuring 10" by 14" (12 1/4" by 16 1/4" as framed), signed at lower right (I think in ink) "....... E. Miller" and dated there '32. The actual first part of the signature is difficult to read, but on the stretcher in pencil is written "E. E. Miller". I do not see any listing for this artist, but, as is often the case, the lack of a listing does not mean the artist wasn't talented. ...
$450 USD Offers ConsideredAmerican primitive winter scene painting by noted naive artist ALICE L. GEDDES WOODWARD
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:Folk Art
Oil on masonite, 16" by 20" ( 19 1/2" by 23" as framed), signed at lower right "A. L. GEDDES", and bearing on the reverse the business card of the artist, the title "Sleighbells" and "Bullwinkle House Central Valley, N.Y.". This is a charming folky work by a listed artist, in the tradition of Grandma Moses and other artists who followed in her footsteps. The painting is in very good condition with just a small abrasion in the sky above the right chimney and a few other very minor stains by ...
$125 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Colorado art 1925 signed painting of mountain canyon near Estes Park
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:Western American Art:Colorado
Oil on canvas, 18" by 12 1/2", unframed, signed at lower right "F. W. Shane", and inscribed on reverse canvas, "Loveland Canon/Road to Estes Park/Colorado/1925". This work is somewhat primitive but the artist put in a good effort and created a viable painting. The painting appears to have been framed at one time as there are color differences between the areas that had been covered and the areas that had been exposed, so, the painting has old grime. The stretching, evidently by the artist, was ...
$1,000 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Hawaiian art 1920 signed dated painting of Rainbow Falls near Hilo
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:Hawaiian Art
Oil on canvas painting titled on the frame in pencil "Flow Up Falls", 12" by 16" and 1 1/2" wide original frame, signed at lower right "SMITH" and dated there "20", and signed again on the reverse. This is a rather early work showing what I gather to be Rainbow Falls, a Big Island landmark not all that far inland from downtown Hilo. I believe they have acquired the "flow up" name as at times in certain light conditions it might appear that the water is actually flowing UP. This painting is ...
$325 USD Offers ConsideredJOHN MORRIS (1920-1991) clown art painting by surrealist master
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century
Oil on canvasboard painting of a classic clown, 12" by 9", (18 1/4" by 15 1/2" in its no doubt original white gessoed ornate frame), signed at lower right 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 ...
$625 USD Offers ConsideredWPA era Pittsburgh Pennsylvania painting by PERRY DAVIS "Rehearsal"
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century
Oil on masonite, circa late 1940's or early 1950's, 16 1/2" by 23 1/2" (22" by 31 1/2" as framed), signed at lower left by Pittsburgh artist PERRY DAVIS. This is a beautifully painted work by an obviously talented artist, although I have not to date found a listing on him. There's a label on the reverse of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh, 37th Annual Exhibition with the title, and artist's address. The painting has a strong WPA feeling to it. A little research will determine the date of the ...
$450 USD Offers ConsideredJOYCE HAGERBAUMER REED 20th century wildlife art original fine drawing of duck heads by listed artist
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:Western American Art
This is a very fine, detailed drawing of waterfowl by recognized American artist JOYCE HAGERBAUMER REED. Reed's limited edition signed prints are commonly encountered, but original works are more scarce. I've seen images of some that date back to the 1960's, and many more from the 1970's. This example is watercolor on paper,12 " by 10 3/4" inside the matting ( 21 1/2" by 20 1/4" as framed), and is dated 1973. If you're considering settling for a framed signed print, consider this fine original ...
$425 USD Offers ConsideredHawaiian art mid century signed large watercolor landscape painting of historical Kauai mission
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:Hawaiian Art
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 (28" by 34" as framed), signed at lower right "D Williams". The work is not dated but I'd 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 further ...
$285 USD Offers ConsideredTexas art woman artist impresssionist still life painting circa 1945
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century
Oil on canvas still life of gladioli and other flowers, 24" by 26" with original 3" wide gold frame, signed at lower right "Mrs. F.S. Davis". I was unable to find anything on the artist until I looked on google and found that she was among a group of Baptist leaders in Texas in the 1920's. I purchased this in Texas, so, it all fits. Though not a major artist, this lady was skilled in painting and if you're seeking a good sized impressionistic oil, you might be pleased with this work. Condition ...
$395 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Connecticut impressionist art PAIR 1927 paintings by artist Allen Newton
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:American Impressionism:Connecticut Art
PAIR of unframed, unstretched oil on canvas paintings, the larger 20" by 24", the smaller one 17 1/4" by 22", both signed at lower right "Allen H. Newton" and bearing inscriptions on the reverse showing the locations in Andover, Connecticut (east of Hartford, between there and Willimantic in the northeastern part of the state). Both paintings are in need of restoration, since they've been carelessly handled by past owners, including, probably, rolling. There is paint loss, creases, craquelure, ...
$350 USD Offers ConsideredJOHN SOBLE (1893-) American art autumn harvest still life painting
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century
Oil on canvas still life of pumpkin, indian corn, squash, dry oak leaves in a vase, apple and green pepper, on a table top in front of a curtain, 16" by 12" and 3" wide frame, signed at lower left "JOHN J. SOBLE", not dated but likely circa 1940's to 1960 or so. This is a work by a listed artist who exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago, National Academy, and Pennsylvania Academy of the FIne Arts. Some works have auctioned over $3,000. This is a fine decorative mid century work. Condition is ...
$2,750 USD Offers ConsideredALBERT FRANCIS KING (1854-1945) noted Pennsylvania still life painter impressionistic 1920 landscape
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:American Impressionism
Oil on canvas landscape of a woodsy canyon with small river, 22" by 27" (25" by 30" as framed), signed at lower right "A F King" and dated there 1920. This is likely a western Pennsylvania scene from the area near Johnstown known as "Scalp Level". Artists congregated there in the late 19th and early 20th century as they were attracted to the unspoiled scenery, which stood out in stark contrast to the industrializing city of Pittsburgh to the west. George Hetzel is considered the leader of the so ...
$825 USD Offers ConsideredRICHARD TALLANT (1853-1934) early Colorado art autumn mountain landscape circa 1930
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:Western American Art
Oil on canvas laid on masonite, 20" by 23 1/4" and 2 1/2" wide vintage frame, not signed on front, and inscribed on reverse "artist R.H. Tallant/Estes Park Colo./Mt. Ypsilon/from High Drive". This is a work of the painter RICHARD TALLANT (1853-1934), who began describing the Colorado landscape in paint starting in the late 19th century, and, in a long life, worked into the 1930's. The work, which came from the artist's descendants in San Diego, is in excellent condition and is ready to grace an ...
$275 USD Offers ConsideredE.H. DEFFNER Northwest American art autumnal painting of volcano reflected in lake
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:American Impressionism:Pacific Northwest
Oil on canvas, 18" by 24" and 1 1/2" wide white and gold painted frame, signed at lower left "EH Deffner '51" and inscribed on reverse "Sweetheart Lake/E.H. Deffner 10-'51/$150.00". This is a beautifully executed work by a talented artist, on whom I have not located a listing. From the subject matter I would suspect this work to be from the Pacific Northwest, like Oregon, Washington, or Northern California. There is a decidedly modernistic handling to the leaves on the tree at right. The ...
$1,100 USD Offers ConsideredFlorida Highwaymen regional art JAMES GIBSON large painting
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:American Impressionism:Florida Art
This is a large oil on canvas (30" by 40" and 2 1/4" wide typical style chalky whitewash style frame with gold showing through), showing a Florida swamp or lake with palms and pines, signed at lower right by noted Highwaymen artist JAMES GIBSON. The piece is in excellent fresh condition, with only minor flaw in a corner of the frame. I'd date this to the 1990's, it not being on Upson board, and the canvas does not look old. Gibson's early style employed a lot of black and then primary color like ...
