About the Item

Louis Sylvia (American, 1911-1987) Untitled, 20th century Watercolor on paper Sight: 12 1/2 x 16 1/2 in. Signed lower right Louis Sylvia (1911-1987) was an American painter specializing in nautical scenes during the 20th century. Sylvia grew up in New Bedford, Massachusetts. His father had been a sailor, so the ocean would always appeal to Louis Sylvia. He got his artistic education from the Swain School of Design, the National Academy of Design, and the Art Students League. In Sylvia’s early life, he was a prominent sailor going on many expeditions. His main genres for painting were ships and the ocean. He was also a landscape painter and painted pictures of the coasts and harbors. In Sylvia’s later life, he was a teacher in his hometown of South Dartmouth, Massachusetts. He opened his studio, welcoming over a hundred students, and got interviewed in 1975. (Bio sourced from 1000 Museums)

Seascape Watercolor Painting by George Howell Gay (American, 1858-1931)
By George Howell Gay
Located in New York, NY
George Howell Gay (American, 1858-1931) Untitled Seascape, c. late 19th-early 20th century Watercolor on board 12 x 17 3/4 in. Framed: 16 1/4 x 22 1/4 in. Signed lower right: Geo Howell Gay George H. Gay was well known for his watercolor landscapes, seascapes and paintings of rivers and ships, mostly along the shores of New England. Gay also painted snowscapes, but these are scarcer. It is unusual to find an oil painting by this artist, as he worked mainly in watercolor. Some of his works display a tonalist aesthetic. He was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on July 2, 1858, and lived in Chicago and then in 1889, settled in Bronxville, New York. Gay was a pupil of Paul Brown and Henry Elkins in Chicago. He is known to have exhibited at the National Academy of Design in 1890; Boston Art...
