Lambro Ahlas (Greek/American)Anna Maria in White
About the Item
An absolutely lovely portrait of a young woman relaxed on a couch that perfectly captures the slackness in her relaxed body, much harder to achieve than it looks. Portrait/figure paintings such as this have always been the specialty of Greek artist Lambro Ahlas - particularly women who appear to be looking off somewhere in thought. Ahlas died in Greece at the age of 94 after a rich life, including early on being one of the few storied survivors of a legendary battle during the Korean War, during which he prayed that if he were to survive God would spare his arms so he could continue painting. His work is in notable private collections and museum, including the Amon Carter Museum of Fort Worth. There is a wealth of information about him on the site ahlas-lambros dot c., a site devoted entirely to his life and work. Comes framed. Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans. Here is some biographical information:
From AskArt: Lambro Ahals was born of Greek ancestry, in Oakland, CA. In 1945 he attended California College of Arts and Crafts on a scholarship. He served in Korea with the U.S. Marine Corps and further studied at New York's American Art School. He traveled in Southern Europe for two years painting and drawing, mostly in Athens and Italy.
Ahlas began to develop a stylistic approach to the human form by the 1950s. His palette took on a combination of rich green, blues and yellows. In a time when most of his contemporaries were trying their hands at Abstract Expressionism Ahlas refused to abandon the human form. His work is often associated with simple compositions of women lying down, gazing out a window or sitting alone in a room. Rarely does Ahlas allow his figures to look directly at the viewer. His work reflects a subdued introspection one might associate with the Impressionists of the late 19th century.

- Daydream (WPA Era Oil Painting on Canvas)Located in New Orleans, LAWhat is she dreaming about? Something in the book that is open in front of her? And who are the other characters in this moody, quiet, lovely scene? Not only a wonderful painting, but really captures that WPA period feel. A pensive painting sure to bring you peace. With frame it measures 33" x 27"; canvas measures 30" x 24". Frame has some weathering (probably original) but is still serviceable. The following is some bio information about the artist I pulled from AskArt: "Born in Swerzen, Russia, Bernard Green came to the US at a young age and settled in the New York City area. He studied art at the National Academy of Design, the Art Students League, the College of the City of New York and NYU, exhibiting at the NAD as early as 1910, where he won a prize both in 1910 and 1913, as well as at the ASL, winning another prize in 1914. Highly accomplished both as painter and etcher, Green continued exhibiting at the NAD throughout the years 1913-1946, at the Pan-Pacific Exposition in California in 1915, and at various galleries and other venues including a solo show at the Roerich Museum in 1930. His style was early 20th-century American Impressionist, and his interests covered a wide range from landscapes and still life to portraiture, including black subjects...Category
