Arthur Bryks
Polish oil painting of Jewish men studying by Arthur Bryks

c. 1925 - 1930

About the Item

Painted by the Polish artist Arthur Bryks, this work depicts five males seated around an open book. The pictorial emphasis is on their heads, the five of which transcribe a circular arrangement in the composition. The faces of the figures, wizened with age, study the open book—most likely the Torah—their countenances evincing deep contemplation. Bryks has utilised dark colours, the effect of which is to emphasise the meditative mood of the work. The painting is held, unglazed, by a giltwood frame. The painting is signed ‘ABryks’ and is inscribed on the reverse with ‘ABryks 1925-1930’ and a note to indicate the work belonged to one Henri Suter Carrara.

  • Group portrait painting after the hunt, oil on canvas
    Located in London, GB
    This charming painting depicts a group of gentlemen gathered around a kitchen table and admiring an English Setter. The snowy rooftops, just visible from the kitchen window, combined with the lit fire and holly decorating the picture frames in the room, implies that this is a Christmas scene. It also appears that the gentlemen have just returned from a fox hunt, and are now warming themselves, drinking port and smoking long pipes by the fire. Five men — three gathered behind the table and two standing in front — are identically dressed in long black riding boots...

  • Peek-a-Boo
    By Seymour Joseph Guy
    Located in New York, NY
    In the latter half of the nineteenth century and into the first decade of the twentieth, New York City art aficionados could count on finding recent work of Seymour Joseph Guy hanging on the walls of the city’s major galleries. Primarily a genre artist, but also a portraitist, between 1859 and 1908 Guy showed more than seventy works at the National Academy of Design. From 1871 to 1903 he contributed over seventy times to exhibitions at the Century Club. From 1864 to 1887, he sent about forty pictures to the Brooklyn Art Association. A good number of these works were already privately owned; they served as advertisements for other pictures that were available for sale. Some pictures were shown multiple times in the same or different venues. Guy was as easy to find as his canvases were omnipresent. Though he lived at first in Brooklyn with his family and then in New Jersey, from 1863 to his death in 1910 he maintained a studio at the Artist’s Studio Building at 55 West 10th Street, a location that was, for much of that period, the center of the New York City art world. Guy’s path to a successful career as an artist was by no means smooth or even likely. Born in Greenwich, England, he was orphaned at the age of nine. His early interest in art was discouraged by his legal guardian, who wanted a more settled trade for the young man. Only after the guardian also died was Guy free to pursue his intention of becoming an artist. The details of Guy’s early training in art are unclear. His first teacher is believed to have been Thomas Buttersworth...
