About the Item

Gustaf Fjæstad (Fjaestad) (1868–1948) Sweden A Rocky Shore at Night, Full Moon Signed “G. F.” Authenticated on the reverse by Bo Fjæstad (1903–1991), the artist’s son pencil on paper unframed: 214 × 317 mm (8 ½ × 12 ½ in.) framed: 30 × 37 cm (11 ¾ × 14 ½ in.) Provenance: Bo Fjæstad (Arvika 1903–1991 Arvika), the artist’s son, sculptor and furniture designer This atmospheric drawing was likely executed around 1900–1905, and the motif probably derives from Lake Racken in Värmland, where Fjæstad built his house in 1902. Remarkably, the illusion of the moon is created solely by leaving the paper untouched. Fjæstad usually painted directly before the motif or from photographs, making drawings of this kind exceedingly rare.

Vintage 1960s Nocturnal Coastal Oil Painting – Moonlit Marine Landscape
Located in Denver, CO
"The Coast" is an original vintage oil painting from the mid-20th century (circa 1950s-1970s) by renowned New Mexico artist Marjorie Chambers (1923-2006). This stunning nocturnal marine landscape captures the serene beauty of the coast under a glowing moonlit sky. The artist masterfully uses a soothing palette of blues, greens, browns, and whites to create a tranquil, ethereal atmosphere. The painting is rendered on wood panel, signed by Chambers in the lower right corner, and titled on the reverse. It is presented in a custom frame with a dark finish and gold lip, with outer dimensions measuring 18 ¼ x 21 ¾ x 1 inches, and an image size of 11 x 15 inches. About the Artist: Marjorie Bell Chambers (also known as Marjorie Bell) was born in 1923 in New York. She became a prominent figure in both the arts and social activism, earning a degree in Art History and Political Science from Mount Holyoke College (1943) and a Master of Arts from Cornell University (1948). Chambers moved to Los Alamos, New Mexico, in the 1940s, where she raised her family and worked as a substitute teacher while her husband, William H.

She earned a PhD in History and Political Science from the University of New Mexico in 1974, later serving as a faculty member and dean at Colorado Women's College. She was appointed to the National Advisory Council on Women's Educational Programs in 1976 and was vice-chair of President Carter...
