About the Item

A classically American modernist work depicting the fisherman's shack on Monhegan Island. Great for a beach house or New England home. Along the lines of an Edward Hopper or Winslow Homer, this artist was trained in a similar school. Albert Wein's artistic prowess in painting is a testament to his deep-seated academic training, a fundamental aspect that serves as the bedrock for his avant-garde approach to modernism. In a departure from the trends of many contemporaries in the twentieth century, Wein adeptly harmonizes his classical foundation with a progressive, modernist sensibility. What sets Wein apart, particularly in his works on paper, is the tangible essence of movement and dynamism that permeates his creations. Whether employing rapid brushstrokes or deliberate ink lines, he injects his compositions with a vitality that transcends the inherent static nature of the medium. This dynamic quality not only imparts life to the landscapes he portrays but also establishes a captivating visual dialogue, forging a profound connection between the artist, the subject, and the viewer. Wein's ability to seamlessly fuse tradition with innovation marks him as a distinctive figure in the annals of art history, leaving an indelible impression on those who engage with his evocative oeuvre.

Boothbay Harbor, Maine from the Hill
Located in Greenwich, CT
Best known for his painterly landscape views, Oberteuffer developed a fresh and vigorous style, using a subdued color palette with agile brushstrokes that was influenced by French Impressionism. Boothbay Harbor from the Hill is a wonderful example of this style of painting and shows Oberteuffer’s mastery of subtle color. It is an added plus that Oberteuffer has specifically referenced a clearly identifiable locale- Boothbay Harbor- in his title and additionally denoted that the view was painted from the hillside, potentially capturing actual homes and buildings of the time. Framed in a Gold Leaf Whistler style frame of exceptional quality. The painting has vivid and fresh color and creates a window in any room. The canvas inside the frame measures 30 x 24 inches.

Head to Sea, Modernist sailing scene
By Ralph Eugene Della-Volpe
Located in Greenwich, CT
A vibrant and yet romantic sailing scene which was a favorite series by Della-Volpe. His compelling colorist approach has made his works desirable as he was one of the few artists post-war to be representative in style like Milton Avery and Wolf Kahn. Head to Sea has the hallmark intense and lovely coloration for which Della-Volpe is known. He came out of Abstract Expressionism in the New York school but then pivoted, like Milton Avery to representational, colorist work. The frame is a silvered gold leaf float frame of quality and has a rubbed, antiqued surface...

'Lobsterman's Wharf, Maine' original lithograph signed by "Zsissly" Albright
By Malvin Marr Albright
Located in Milwaukee, WI
'Lobsterman's Wharf, Maine' is an original lithograph signed by Malvin Marr "Zsissly" Albright. While Malvin Marr – along with his better-known identical twin Ivan Albright – was known for his meticulous and unsettling magic realist compositions, he and his brother were also prolific in capturing landscapes of the coast of Maine where the two spent several consecutive summers away from Chicago over their lives. Sometimes these Maine landscapes and views would be painterly and seemingly antithetical to the careful realism of his other work; but in this example, however, the wharf is treated with the same macabre decay as his human subjects. In the composition, the shack...
