Oskar Bergman
A Landscape With Birch Trees: A Miniature Masterpiece by Oskar Bergman

Early 1900s

About the Item

This exquisite miniature watercolor by Oskar Bergman, measuring just 5.5 x 4 cm, beautifully captures the essence of a serene Swedish landscape. In this scene, slender birch trees, with their white bark and delicate branches, stand gracefully against a deep blue sky. In the background, the landscape unfolds gently, with a glimmering body of water reflecting the tranquility of the scene, and blue-tinged mountains softly fading into the distance. The foreground is dotted with wildflowers, adding a touch of color and life to the composition. Oskar Bergman, born on October 18, 1879, in Stockholm, was a highly regarded Swedish painter and graphic artist known for his detailed and realistic depictions of the central Swedish landscape. Despite being self-taught, Bergman developed a distinctive style, particularly in watercolor and gouache, which allowed him to render the subtleties of nature with great precision and sensitivity. Throughout his career, he made numerous study trips across Europe, which enriched his artistic expression and broadened his perspective. Bergman's works are held in high esteem and are represented in several prestigious institutions, including the Nationalmuseum, the Thiel Gallery, and the Norrköping Art Museum. He lived for many years near Neglinge Gård in Saltsjöbaden, where he eventually passed away on July 20, 1963. watercolor on paper signed Oskar Bergman unframed c. 5.5 x 4 cm framed 15.5 x 13.5 cm Provenance: A Swedish private collection.

"Andes Mountains Peru South America, " Joseph Yoakum, Black Folk Art Landscape
By Joseph Yoakum
Located in New York, NY
Joseph Yoakum Andes Mountains Peru So America, circa 1960s Colored pencil and ballpoint pen on paper 7 1/4 x 10 1/2 inches Provenance: Karen Lennox Gallery, Chicago Private Collection, South Dakota Yoakum began drawing in the early 1960s. Most of his work consists of radiantly colored landscapes with mountains, water, trees, and winding roads in abstract and complex configurations. his period of greatest activity — 1965 to 1970 — when he usually made one drawing a day. Yoakum maintained he had seen all the places represented in his drawings, a statement that may not be true in some instances. He traveled a great deal, beginning in his early teens when he ran away from home and became a circus handyman. Yoakum’s drawings can be considered memory images growing out of either actual or imagined experiences. All of his drawings have titles that grew longer and more specific over the years. He dated his works with a rubber stamp — an oddly impersonal, labor-saving device. Although Joseph Yoakum gave vastly different accounts of his background, he was, throughout his life, classified as an African American. Sometimes Yoakum claimed that he was a full-blooded ​“Nava-joe” Indian, one of twelve or thirteen children born to a farmer on an Indian reservation in Window Rock, Arizona. At other times he insisted that he was of African-American descent. He described his mother as a strong woman who was a doctor and knowledgeable in the use of herbal medicines. Yoakum’s family moved to Kansas City, Missouri, during his early childhood. His father was employed briefly in the railroad yards prior to settling permanently on a farm in nearby Walnut Grove...
