Nestor FrugeFrench Quarter Scene (Mid-Century Framed New Orleans Watercolor Painting)
About the Item
Nestor Fruge (b. 1916) grew up in the small Louisiana town of Bayou Lafourche. His French Quarter scenes are well-known and ubiquitous in New Orleans, but he also painted in Mexico, Paris and NYC. When in New Orleans, he often set up his easel in Jackson Square, joining the other painters there – a scene which still goes on today. Fruge ran an art school in New Orleans between 1949 and 1952.
Nestor Fruge: iconic New Orleans artist of the French Quarter
Fruge’s watercolors are ubiquitous, instantly recognizable and iconic. His subjects tended to cluster around certain areas – not surprisingly, since he carried his easel around to these areas which are all in somewhat close proximity to one another. Some of these common subjects include the back side of St. Louis Cathedral, with the statue of the so-called “Touchdown Jesus”; Pirate’s Alley; and the front of St. Louis Cathedral.

- Louis Osman FRIBA Pavilion architectural designBy Louis OsmanLocated in London, GBLouis Osman was an English artist, architect, goldsmith, silversmith and medallist. He is notable for the gold coronet he designed and made for the investiture in 1969 of Charles, Prince of Wales. We have acquired a large archive of Osman's works form his daughter; to see the other Osman works available, please scroll down to "More from this Seller" and below it click on "See all from this Seller." Louis Osman (1914 - 1996) A Pavilion in a Private Park Pen, ink and wash 67 x 100 cm Provenance: the family of the artist. Signed lower right. Osman was as much an artist as an architect. This is likely a portfolio piece from his time studying at the Bartlett School of Architecture, and is as such a piece of architectural history as well as a beautiful Osman design. Osman was awarded a First Class degree and the Donaldson Medal of the RIBA (for the best result in his year group) by the Bartlett, and then went on to the Slade School of Art. He subsequently trained with Sir Albert Richardson – we also have several Richardson works in our collection. After the war, Osman busied himself as an architect. His work included contributions to Westminster Abbey, and Lincoln, Exeter, Ely, and Lichfield Cathedrals, Staunton Harold Church in Ashby de la Zouch for the National Trust, and of course his folly: the Grade I listed Elizabethan manor house, Canons Ashby in Northamptonshire, now a National Trust property. At Canons Ashby he established a workshop and had a team of silversmiths and goldsmiths working for him. In 1976 he made the gold enamelled coffin...Category
