Gerrit Sinclair brought the charming style of American Regionalism painting to the masses. Gerrit Sinclair was one of Wisconsin's premier chroniclers of middle-class America during the first half of the 20th century. Sinclair's paintings express mood and narrative. Often idyllic, his stylized paintings capture a slower and more relaxed time and place that perhaps existed more as a state of mind than a condition of reality. Sinclair arrived in Wisconsin in 1920 when he joined the art faculty of the Layton School of Art (Milwaukee). He continued to actively create and exhibit his work until around the end of World War II. His work includes images of daily life as it unfolded in the environment of close-knit city neighborhoods, small town and rural Wisconsin. A few of his paintings reflect his own military service experiences of World War I. Artist and educator Gerrit V. Sinclair left a legacy to savor. His paintings capture the essence of life and the times, highlighting his surroundings, no matter where he was. For more than thirty years he depicted Wisconsin's landscapes, towns, lakes, homes, people involved in daily activities, capturing how man worked and relaxed. Unlike many earlier Wisconsin artists, he was not trained in the German academic tradition but rather in a newer modernist style of American Art garnered, no doubt, through his studies at The Art Institute of Chicago. His works reveal Sinclair's perception of local life experience in mid-America. He contrasts urban life settings and activities with the serenity and integrity of the countryside. The reality of each scene is palpable. Although each painting carries a theme of place, that place is universal enough to have broader significance.

- "Arab Children, " Portrait of Two Figures Lithograph signed by Fletcher MartinBy Fletcher MartinLocated in Milwaukee, WI"Arab Children" is an original lithograph by Fletcher Martin. The artist signed the piece lower right. This piece features two young children--a boy and a girl--with downcast eyes in draped fabric clothes in an interior. 12" x 8" art 22" x 18" frame Fletcher Martin was an American painter, illustrator, muralist and educator. He is best known for his images of soldier life during World War II and his sometimes brutal images of boxing and other sports. His artistic skills were largely self-taught. He worked as a printer in Los Angeles in the late 1920s, and as an assistant to Mexican muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros in the early 1930s. He taught at local art schools such as Otis Art Institute. He won commissions to paint murals for the New Deal's Section of Painting and Sculpture, including Mail Transportation (1938), painted for the San Pedro Federal Building and Post Office in Los Angeles. Under the WPA he painted a mural study for the Kellogg, Idaho post office titled Mine Rescue (1939). Local industrialists objected that it depicted the dangers of mining, while officials of the Mine & Smelt Workers Union praised it. The industrialists prevailed and Martin painted an uncontroversial mural, Discovery (1941), depicting the prospector who founded the town. The rejected mural study is now in the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Perhaps his most ambitious mural, also done under the WPA, was painted for North Hollywood High School in Los Angeles. Legends of Fernandino and Gabrileno Indians (1937) depicts overlapping scenes of Native American life and ritual, and the world being carried on the backs of giants. As an artist-correspondent for Life Magazine during World War II, he made hundreds of sketches of U.S. soldier life. Fourteen of his paintings from the North African campaign were published in the December 27, 1943 issue of Life, and brought him national recognition. Among these was Boy Picking Flowers...Category
