Thomas Smith
"Family Portrait, " Original Blue Gouache & Pencil by Thomas Smith

1966

About the Item

"Family Portrait" is an original gouache and pencil piece on paper by Thomas Smith. The artist uses pure, unmixed color in flat planes, shading only on the faces of the figures, which makes them stand out from the rest of the image. The three figures sit in a triangular formation. The tallest figure looms over the other two with a dark black cloak or jacket that envelops the faces of the other two. On the left, a child with a sailor's knot kerchief sits unsmiling, dark hair disappearing to blend in with the cloak. The figure on the right appears to have a dog's face, though it wears a collared shirt. This piece has a grey barnwood frame and UV clear glass. Art size: 23" x 19 1/2" Frame size: 29 3/4" x 25 1/2"

  • 'Billie the Brownie Laughing' original watercolor by Sylvia Spicuzza
    By Sylvia Spicuzza
    Located in Milwaukee, WI
    In this painting, Sylvia Spicuzza demonstrates her skill as an illustration artist, representing the Milwaukee character Billie the Brownie with a growing spring of a tree. An illustration like this could grace the pages of a children's book or illustrated magazine, or as an advertisement for Schuster’s Department Store. Watercolor, gouache and graphite on paper 8 x 5.75 inches, artwork 14 x 12 inches, frame Stamped with artist signature, below image, lower left. Presented in a new custom frame with a gold-finish neoclassical wood moulding, archival matting and mounting materials; and UV glass to inhibit fading. Born in 1908, Sylvia Spicuzza was the daughter of noted painter Francesco Spicuzza. Sylvia devoted herself to teaching art to the students of Lake Bluff Elementary School in Shorewood, WI. During this time Sylvia produced a magnificent body of work that was undiscovered until her death. Sylvia's work is rich, diverse and fascinating collection of drawings, watercolors and prints from the 1920's to the 1990's. Her style ranges from early figurative drawings to regionalism, Art Deco, lyrical abstractions of every conceivable subject (both real and imagined), as well as figurative paintings that reflect the work of Picasso, Kandinsky and Max Ernst in the 1930's and 1940's. Biomorphic and organic, Modernist images are presented with Sylvia Spicuzza's own unique sense of style, humor and fantasy. Billie the Brownie was a multi-media star of Christmas in Milwaukee from the 1920s to the 1950s. Years earlier, the writer and artist Palmer Cox...

  • Vielle Femme en Petite Cape
    By Jacques Villon
    Located in Milwaukee, WI
    Signed with stamp, J.V. 7-5/8" x 4-3/4" art 19" x 15-1/4" frame Jacques Villon (French, 1875 - 1963) French painter, printmaker and illustrator. The oldest of three brothers who became major 20th-century artists, including Raymond Duchamp-Villon and Marcel Duchamp, he learnt engraving at the age of 16 from his maternal grandfather, Emile-Frédéric Nicolle (1830-94), a ship-broker who was also a much appreciated amateur artist. In January 1894, having completed his studies at the Lycée Corneille in Rouen, he was sent to study at the Faculty of Law of the University of Paris, but within a year he was devoting most of his time to art, already contributing lithographs to Parisian illustrated newspapers such as Assiette au beurre. At this time he chose his pseudonym: Jack (subsequently Jacques) in homage to Alphonse Daudet’s novel Jack (1876) and Villon in appreciation of the 15th-century French poet François Villon...
