About the Item
Jim's of Lambertville Fine Art Gallery is proud to present this piece by Robert Henri (1865 - 1929).
Robert Henri was born Robert Henry Cozad in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1865. At the age of eight, Robert and his family moved to Dawson County, Nebraska. In 1873, Robert’s father, John J. Cozad, founded the town of Cozad, Nebraska. A land dispute that ended in Robert’s father shooting and killing a man caused the father to flee Nebraska in 1882. The family soon followed and, in 1883, they reconnected in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Although the father was eventually cleared of all charges, the family changed their names to avoid detection. John J. Cozad changed his name to Richard H. Lee and passed his two sons off as adopted children named Frank Southern and Robert Henri (pronounced hen-rye to rhyme with buckeye to remind Robert of his Ohio birthplace).
A friend visiting the family in Atlantic City admired what he saw of Henri’s home murals and acted as a catalyst in having the young man enroll at the prestigious Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) in 1886. After two years of thorough training in drawing and painting at PAFA, Henri moved onto more training in Paris from 1888 to 1891. He first enrolled at the popular Académie Julian and then at the École des Beaux-Arts. In 1891, Henri returned to Philadelphia and studied again at PAFA.
In 1892, Henri started teaching at the Philadelphia School of Design for Women (now Moore College of Art & Design), where he gained a reputation as a vivacious and passionate teacher.
In 1899, Henri moved to New York to paint and soon to teach. Henri eventually became known as one of the most influential teachers and artists in the history of American art. Henri encouraged his students to have confidence in their own instincts and to focus with sympathy on their subjects. He asserted that they should ignore prevailing styles, such as Impressionism and Academism, and preached tonal rather than colorist styles with a technique of painting quickly, in a slashing manner, to capture the strength of the moment. A group of artists banded with him to help form "The Eight", also known as the Ashcan School, because of their depictions of the less than pleasant side of life in New York City. This philosophy, translated to artwork, became known as Social Realism.

- Garçon avec des Fruit - Boy with Fruit - Oil on Canvas - Naive PaintingBy Nino GiuffridaLocated in Meinisberg, CHNino Giuffrida (Sicilian, 1924, active in France) Un Garçon avec des Fruits • Oil on canvas, ca. 41 x 33 cm • Frame, made by the renowned framer Knöll from Zürich, ca. 54 x 46 cm • Signed top left Born in 1924 in Sicily, Nino already attended the artistic high school in Catania at the age of 17, where he befriended fellow painters including Pippo Aleo and Giovanni Calogero. At that time, he painted with passion everything he saw, landscapes, seascapes, still lifes. After a first attempt to come to France with his friend Giovanni in 1948, aborted for lack of a visa. Nino finally arrived at the Gare de Lyon on December 8, 1949 and settled at number 30 rue Gabrielle in Montmartre. Nino began to paint Paris. Like many Montmartre artists of this period, while he painted all day long, he moved about in the evening on the terraces of the cafés of Montmartre and Saint-Germain-des-Prés to transform himself into a portrait painter and randomly sketch the customers in restaurants. Nino then devoted himself more and more to the painting of children, which became his favorite theme of inspiration. Pierre Imbourg, journalist and art critic, wrote of him: "Montmartre, the land of little ‘Poulbots’, inspiring Nino to record in his mind all these childrens faces whose intense facial expression he would endevour to reproduce". It was also at this time that his career as a Montmartre painter influenced by cubism began. With the disappearance of the art galleries in Montmartre, Nino decides to settle on the French Riviera, in Cannes then in Vallauris. From 1952 his personal exhibitions follow one another and Nino becomes an international painter: Rome, Brussels, Chicago, Copenhagen, Helsingborg and Aüs in Sweden, in Geneva, in Kourou in Guyana... In Paris, he manages the Galerie de la Colonne...Category
