Circa 1965
About the Item
Signed lower left, 'M. V. Mujica' for Manuel Vicente Mujica (Venezuelan, 1924-2002).
A bright and breezy oil painting of a dark-haired young woman wearing a wide-brimmed, floral hat and seated at a table decorated with a large vase of flowers. A charming and period work by this European-trained Venezuelan Post-Impressionist.
Manuel Mujica first studied at the School of Plastic and Applied Arts under Antonio Edmundo Monsanto and Rafael Ramón González (1939-1942). Over the course of a long and successful career, he exhibited widely and with success including at the Salón Anual de Artistas Independientes held by the Caracas Museo de Bellas Artes (1956-1960), the Institute of Hispanic Culture (Madrid, 1960) and in Barcelona (1967). In 1967, Mujica won a scholarship and stipend which allowed him to return to paint and study in Europe. Later in 1967, he was awarded Barcelona's Real Círculo de Arte Prize. Manuel Mujica's work is held private and public collections including the permanent collections of the Venezuelan National Art Gallery, the National Academy of History in Caracas and the Venezuelan Presidential Residence.
Venezuelan art critic and collector Mayz Lyon has noted that, "two great masters of art have been mentioned for their relationship with Mujica's work: Pierre Bonnard and Marcos Castillo... From Bonnard, he picks up the subtlety and finesse in the use of the finely nuanced colors and from Castillo... his freshness and poetic lyricism".

- 'The White Bonnet', Paris, Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen Art MuseumBy Henrik SchouboeLocated in Santa Cruz, CAInitialed lower left, 'H.S.' for Henrik Schouboe (Danish, 1876-1949) and painted circa 1915. Henrik Schouboe first studied at the Copenhagen's Royal Academy of Fine Arts from 1894-1901 and, from 1903-1910, in Italy and Paris. He was awarded numerous stipends and scholarships including the Larssen (1902-3) and the Akademie Scholarship in 1908. In 1906, he had exhibited for the first time at the Charlottenborg where his submitted entry was purchased by the leading Danish painter of the time, Kristian Zahrtmann, for his personal collection. Schouboe continued to exhibit both domestically and internationally for over thirty years and was the recipient of a variety of prizes, medals and juried awards including the purchase of his 1908 Charlottenborg entry, 'Young Couple in a Landscape', by the State Museum of Art for inclusion in the Danish national collection. Schouboe's work is held in the permanent collections of numerous museums including Copenhagen, Aabenraa, Maribo and the Aalborg Art Museums. We are pleased to offer a delicate and psychologically penetrating portrait of this beautiful and determined girl on the cusp of womanhood.

- 'Seated Nude', Paris, Royal Danish Academy, Charlottenborg, Bornholm, BenezitLocated in Santa Cruz, CASigned lower right, 'Mogens Hertz' (Danish, 1909-1999) and dated 1949. A large, Post-Impressionist figural oil showing a pregnant young woman, draped from the waist down, with her hands resting serenely in her lap. Seated beside a garden door, she is gently dappled by golden sunlight that filters in through verdant foliage. Painted when the artist was forty years old, Hertz has accomplished a lyrical, light-suffused study of his beautiful and enigmatic young subject. Mogens Hertz first studied with the Academician, Laurits Ring and, subsequently, with the Danish Impressionist, Rostrup Boyesen. In 1930, after an influential study trip to Paris, Hertz continued his formal studies at Copenhagen's Charlottenborg Academy before moving to the countryside outside Gudhjem. There, he became a co-founder of the Bornholm School. His work there came to exemplify the group's lyrical portrayal of idyllic landscapes, painted in a loose and painterly, Impressionist style that often borders on abstraction. From 1930-1941, Hertz traveled and studied widely, including to France, Holland, Germany, Norway and Sweden. He was the recipient of numerous medals, prizes and juried awards including the August Schiøtt scholarship (1948) and the Frederik Sødring prize (1939). Over the course of a long and distinguished career, he exhibited widely and with success including, from 1937, at the Royal Danish Academy's Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition, at the Bornholm Art Museum and the Vejen Art Museum, among others. Mogens Hertz is well-listed in relevant art biographical reference works including Benezit's definitive dictionary of artists. We are pleased to offer a major work from the artist's middle period.
