About the Item
"Still Life of Mushrooms in Undergrowth"
French circa 1830's-1840's
Oil on canvas
Illegibly initialed lower right
17 3/4 x 13 1/4 (25 1/2 x 21 frame) inches
This deftly painted depiction of mushrooms is a fairly uncommon subject matter. The painting is confidently executed and the undergrowth surrounding the fungi create a moody atmosphere. The addition of the nearly absinthe-like green gives the painting a mystical, dreamy quality.
Spiritually, if you see a mushroom in real life it could be a symbol of any of these popular meanings including good luck, longevity, energy, safety, prosperity, rebirth, good or bad transformation, and enlightenment.
Mushrooms are found in places of transformation and where the Ancestors may roam. They are related to rebirth and the recycling of the things that have died, passed on and can be reborn. They are associated with wombs and caves. Mushroom worshipping cults can be found in Asia, Europe and the Americas.
The interior frame is original, dating from the 1830's to 1840's.

- Ben-Zion (Ukraine, 1897-1987) circa 1930's "Floral Still with White Vase"By Ben-ZionLocated in SANTA FE, NMFloral Still Life Ben-Zion (Ukraine, 1897-1987) Circa 1930's Oil on Canvas, signed l.r. 17 3/4 x 12 5/8 One of the founding artists of Abstract Expressionism, hailing from Ukraine, Ben-Zion Weinman arrived in the United States in 1920 after the end of World War l. In America, he became Ben-Zion because to drag around two names was “rather too difficult.” Ben-Zion was an accomplished, self-taught artist who worked in oils and watercolors. Additionally, Ben-Zion left behind a large body of ironwork. In 1935 he became a founding member of The Ten-a group of artists advancing the concepts of abstraction and expressionism who exhibited together until 1940-along with Mark Rothko, Adolph Gottlieb, and others. Critics immediately began taking notice with an article from the New York Sun...Category

- London Panorama - Greenwich Shoreline, cityscape art, urban art, Thames artBy John DuffinLocated in Deddington, GBJohn Duffin is a painter and printmaker whose work is based on the modern environments of cities and towns, creating dynamic, cinematic images of contemporary urban life. His unique images of architecture, lighting and figures have been greatly praised and awarded, recently receiving The Most Outstanding Print Award from Sir peter Blake, he has a distinctive artistic voice and has much to say in his work about contemporary life in all of it’s manifestations. His work is in the tradition of LS Lowry in Britain and Edward Hopper in America and like these artists he creates unique views of contemporary urban life, a combination of his ability as a draughtsman, his imagination and his personal use of perspective and colour. He makes drawings and watercolours in front of his chosen subject and takes these sketches back to his London studio where he creates from them his own imaginative interpretation of the site, recreating the place anew via his own imagination. His work is redolent with influences from cinema, graphic novels and the history of figurative painting, but from this comes a vision that is his alone. London Panorama...Category
