Federico Castellon
Federico Castellón (1914-1971) was a Spanish-American artist known for his distinctive style that blended surrealism and realism. Born on the island of Almeria, Spain, he moved to the United States with his family at the age of seven. His artistic talent was evident from a young age, and he received a scholarship to study at the New York School of Fine and Applied Art when he was just 15. Castellón's work is characterized by a dreamlike quality, often incorporating elements of fantasy and a strong narrative sense. His early exposure to both Spanish and American cultures profoundly influenced his artistic vision, blending European surrealism with American realism to create a unique visual language. He was particularly renowned for his lithographs, etchings, and illustrations. His illustrations for Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" and other literary works are highly regarded for their intricate detail and haunting imagery. In addition to his printmaking and illustration work, Castellón was also a skilled painter and muralist. His paintings often featured surreal, dream-like scenes with a focus on human figures, and his murals are noted for their dynamic composition and rich symbolism. Throughout his career, Castellón received numerous awards and honors, and his work was exhibited widely in the United States and Europe. His legacy continues to influence artists and is recognized in the art world for its unique blend of surrealism and realism, along with a profound narrative quality that speaks to the human condition.

"The Artist's Portrait", is an original pastel on artist's paper, signed, dated 1937, 13 x 9.75, currently unframed, the portrait was acquired directly from the personal collection of the artist. We have included the artist's biography below please contact the gallery for additional information, Robert McIntosh (1916-2010) Robert McIntosh was born on March 11, 1916 near San Francisco, in Vallejo, California, the second son of Harry and Jesusita Coronado McIntosh. He found his lifelong passion for painting by the time he was ten years old and never swayed from his calling. The family moved to Stockton when Robert was 12. Their home was just six blocks from the newly opened Haggin Museum, filled with a treasure trove of European and American paintings. He became particularly enamored with the fine examples of 19th century French pastoral landscapes. As teens, Robert and his brother Harrison befriended local painter Arthur Haddock who taught them the craft of art and brought them along on outdoor painting trips. Robert also became skilled at drawing portraits that captured the subject's personality. Soon, the sheer joy of expressing himself this way became a consuming interest. When not sketching, McIntosh would wander the stacks of books at the public library, discovering and studying the Masters - in particular, Michelangelo, Rembrandt and Whistler. At a Gauguin exhibit at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco, Robert discovered a "whole new world of color" and the importance of designing the space in the eternal rectangle. "I envision a frame around everything I see, "he admitted. "The artists' challenge is to put something meaningful, interesting or beautiful in that space." In 1934 McIntosh won a competition for a scholarship to the Art Center School of Design, the first award they ever bestowed. The entire family moved to Los Angeles and a new vista opened to the young artist, both visually and culturally. Robert began to take on portrait commissions and had exhibitions at the San Francisco Museum of Art, The Oakland Museum of Art and the Crocker Museum of Art in Sacramento. During the Great Depression, Robert began to work at Disney Studios painting backgrounds for such classics as "Fantasia". Ron Barbagallo, of Animation Art...Category
