$525 USD Offers ConsideredItalian art late 19th or early 20th century signed Venice canal watercolor painting
Fine Art:Paintings:European Art:19th Century:Italy
Watercolor painting of the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy, circa turn of the century plus or minus a few years (bears date 1902 I think it says, in extreme right corner), 11 1/4" by 20", (20" by 28 1/2" as framed), signed at lower right indecipherably. The signature appears as "Bonary" or something similar. The painting was executed on paper, which has oxidized over the years, there being a definite browning now. The browning of the paper is even, with two vertical browned areas where there has ...
$750 USD Offers ConsideredNEVILLE SOTHEBY PITCHER (1907-1959) well known English marine artist gouache painting clipper ship on the high seas
Fine Art:Drawings:20th Century American:Watercolor:Marine Art
Watercolor, ink and gouache on paper, 9 3/8" by 14 1/4" inside the mat (14 1/2" by 19 1/2" as framed), signed at lower right by the noted English marine painter NEVILLE SOTHEBY PITCHER (1907-1959), and titled there "In the Roaring Forties". This is rather typical of the artist's work. The ship is struggling in rough seas of the southern hemisphere. The skill of the artist's hand is evident in the carefully drawn rigging. Pitcher's works in oil have brought large sums at auction in New York and ...
$275 USD Offers ConsideredERNEST W. SCANES (1909-) Michigan art well listed WPA regionalist charcoal drawing
Fine Art:Drawings:Fine Art:Drawings:American:20th Century:Regionalist Art
This is a superb charcoal on paper drawing laid to an old board, signed at upper right (look carefully to find it) Ernest W. Scanes. The paper measures 17" by 22". I would date the work to the 1930's or 1940's, judging from the excellent WPA regionalism style. Indeed, this greatly resembles a number of "AAA" (Associated American Artists) lithograph prints of the period. Scanes is best known as a Michigan artist, certainly a Midwest artist, but also, due to his illustration of books and ads, he ...
$895 USD Offers ConsideredPair 19th century Italian genre watercolor paintings signed BUZZI
Fine Art:Drawings:European:19th Century:Italian Art
This will be sold as a **PAIR** of watercolors, each signed "BUZZI", one measuring 13 1/2" by 9", the other slightly larger at 14 1/2" by 9" (both 23" by 16 1/2" as framed), showing two ladies at their daily activities, dressed in 19th century garb. Condition of both is excellent, with fresh color, and no foxing/staining. The artist is listed in Davenports and there are auction records. Shipping wizard figures are guesstimates.

$350 USD Offers ConsideredLOUIS PAPALUCA (Junior) Italian marine artist painting of clipper ship on the high seas
Fine Art:Paintings:Marine Art
Oil on canvas, 11 3/4" by 15 1/2" (15" by 19" including the simple wood frame), signed in red at lower right L. (LUIGI) PAPALUCA. Papaluca is THE SON OF an artist who died in 1934, known for his depictions of the great sailing ships; works by the son, who apparently painted in the USA as late as the 1960's, are often mistaken for paintings by the better-known father, the works of whom show up at auctions all over Europe and the USA. This example is quite typical of the son's work, competently ...
$1,850 USD Offers ConsideredROBERT LEE ESKRIDGE (1891-1975) Hawaiiana watercolor painting of male figures in a beach landscape
Fine Art:Paintings:American:20th Century:Hawaiian Art
Watercolor on paper, 16 1/4" by 12 5/8" (21" by 17 1/4" as framed), signed at lower right by noted artist ROBERT LEE ESKRIDGE (1891-1975). This is a scene with a principal male figure, another in the middle distance, all under palms and pandanus trees near a beach. Eskridge was Pennsylvania-born but traveled widely, exhibiting at the Panama Pacific Exposition of 1915, Art Institute of Chicago, and the Chicago World's Fair of 1933. He was also an art educator. Today he is most noted for his ...
$1,250 USD Offers ConsideredDANA BARTLETT (1882-1957) vintage California plein air art impressionist drawing of Venice Italy as-is condition
Fine Art:Drawings:California Art
For the collector of vintage plein air art, here is a classic drawing on tan paper executed in Italy in the year 1924 by well listed, frequently auctioned California plein air artist DANA BARTLETT (1882-1957) ***ONE OF TWO WORKS BY THE ARTIST IN MY SHOP***. This drawing measures 8 1/2" by 11 1/2" inside the framing (12 3/8" by 15 1/4" as framed). It is signed in a longhand signature at lower left, and at lower right is inscribed "Venice Italy" and the date 1924 once again. An old plaque bearing ...
$475 USD Offers ConsideredJOHN W. SHERMAN (1881-1959) California impressionism signed plein air painting of forest interior
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
Oil on masonite, 30" by 24", unframed, showing a sunlit forest interior. The work is signed in white at lower left "John W. Sherman". Sherman (1881-1959) according to the Hughes biography was an oil executive, a native of Nebraska, who moved to Pasadena, California early in the century and soon began painting in his spare time. He studied at the Chouinard Art school and exhibited in the Golden Gate International Exposition in 1939. Works have been sold at auction in California. The style reminds ...
$1,200 USD Offers ConsideredSigned 19th century luminous American clipper ship oil on board painting
Fine Art:Paintings:Marine Art
Oil on gray nineteenth century style artist's panel, the subject a combination sail and steam boat near shore with a distant lighthouse and a buoy and some sea gulls for interest, all handled in a manner reminiscent of luminism. The painting measures 24 1/2" by 18 5/8" (31 1/2" by 26" as framed), and is signed in red at lower left somewhat indecipherably. I'm thinking the signature could be "Stroit" or "Strait" but can't come up with a listing. The work is quite dirty, as it probably dates to ...
$4,500 USD Offers ConsideredDANA BARTLETT (1882-1957) vintage California plein air art impressionist painting of southwestern desert landscape
Fine Art:Paintings:California Plein Air Art
For the collector of vintage plein air art, here is a classic California and the Southwest painting by well listed, frequently auctioned artist DANA BARTLETT (1882-1957) ***ONE OF TWO WORKS BY THE ARTIST IN MY SHOP***. This oil on canvas measures 20" by 24" (24 3/4" by 29" as framed), and is signed boldly at lower right. On the reverse, penned on a vintage label and then written as well on the stretcher is "Desert Verbena" and an old original "$175.00" price no doubt asked by the artist for his ...
$495 USD Offers ConsideredHELEN FORBES (1891-1945) Southwest art Arizona desert sunset gouache painting
Fine Art:Drawings:American Southwest:Arizona
Gouache on board painting of desert twilight with saguaro cacti and emerging stars, 7 1/8" by 6 5/8" inside the mat (15" by 15" as framed), signed at lower right by well listed and auctioned California artist HELEN FORBES (1891-1945). Though not a large work, this gem will be sure to please the collector of desert or Southwest paintings. It's in excellent, fresh condition, and at least 60 years old! The ornate French style frame is however totally unappropriate and MUST be replaced IMMEDIATELY ...
$225 USD Offers ConsideredANDAR (Andre) SZEKELY de Doba (1877-) Hungarian art pencil signed 1925 etching of Notre Dame and Paris book stalls
Fine Art:Printmaking:Europe:20th Century:Hungarian Art
This is a charming etching of Notre Dame cathedral and the famed book stalls by the river Seine in central Paris, dated 1925 and signed in pencil at lower right by noted Hungarian artist ANDAR (Andre) SZEKELY (von) DE DOBA (1877-). The scene is familiar to any tourist and has been etched no doubt thousands of times, but this view is especially interesting, with the vintage early race car at right and the woman by the stalls wearing the 1920's style vintage clothing. The artist is listed and ...
$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 ...
$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 ...
$195 USD Offers ConsideredPICASSO silk scarf with image of cubist woman mounted on board
Collectibles:Textiles:Collectible Scarves
This is a silk scarf with image of a distorted faced cubist style younger woman, I believe manufactured under license from the estate of PABLO PICASSO, approximately 36" by 34", glued only on the edges to a thin support board. As such, it is a complete work of art in its own right, and could be framed and hung as a painting. The condition is generally good, with a few minor flaws, including some tiny dark spots clustered together at top edge, and a slightly stubbed corner, and a slight prick in ...
$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 ...
$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 ...
$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 ...
$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, ...
$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 ...
$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 ...
$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 ...
$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 ...
$595 USD Offers ConsideredContemporary American painting streets seen from above style of Wayne Thiebaud
Fine Art:Paintings:Contemporary Art
Oil on canvas, 24" by 30" in narrow modern frame, signed at lower right and signed again on stretcher by contemporary American artist ROWENA SMITH of Richmond, Vermont. This work is very contemporary in spirit and reminds me of the important cloverleaf intersection urban scenes by important pop art painter Wayne Thiebaud. Condition is excellent; ready for the wall of your modern contemporary interior. I looked up the artist's name on the internet and found a possible match but basically I am ...
$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 ...
$325 USD Offers ConsideredMAX PAPART (1911-1994) modern French art cubist poster with original 1981 felt pen drawing by the artist
Fine Art:Drawings:French Art:Comtemporary French Art
This is a 32 1/4" by 28 1/2" poster from California's "The Upstairs Gallery", showing one of Max Papart's colorful, cubist-inspired images, but as a bonus, there's an ORIGINAL FELT TIP PEN DRAWING by the artist filling the lower right corner. It shows a woman's head, he hand pointing to a Picasso-like image of a bird and the sun. The drawing is inscribed "To Elizabeth Gene avec amitie/Max Papart/Los Angeles/X-XXIII-LXXXI" (October 23, 1981). The poster and drawing are in excellent condition with ...
