"Self Portrait / Sketch on verso" Robert Henri, Ashcan Self-Portrait Work
By Robert Henri
Located in New York, NY
Robert Henri
Self Portrait / Sketch on verso
Estate stamped lower right
Ink on paper, graphite on paper
12 1/2 x 8 inches
Born Robert Henry Cozad in Cincinnati, Ohio, Robert Henri became one of the leading personalities in American art, known for his teaching skills, ethnic portraits, especially spirited children, and insistence that artists should adhere to social realism and give rein to their own artistic instincts.
During his growing up years, he lived between Cincinnati and Cozad, Nebraska, founded by his father John Jackson Cozad, a gambler and real estate promoter. When Robert was about 10 years old, his family moved to Cozad in Dawson County. Tension existed between John Cozad and the established ranchers who resented development, and a rancher attacked Cozad, who in self defense shot the man to death.
Fearing for his life, he, his wife and two sons sneaked out of town and re convened in Atlantic City where they disguised their identity by taking other names. The father was later cleared of the charge, but he changed his name to Richard H. Lee, and passed his two sons off as adopted children named Frank Southern and Robert Henri. Robert chose a variation of his middle name to rhyme with "buckeye" to symbolize his Ohio roots. From Atlantic City, as a young man, he attended boarding school in New York City.
He, having shown early art talent, studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts as a student of Thomas Anschutz and Thomas Hovenden...

Words that describe this piece:outsider, intuitive, flowing, blue, green, giraffe, abstract
Artist Biography:
Mark A. Lembo Script M Abstract Art Mark’s dynamic work blurs the distinction between alcohol ink and watercolor - working with dyes, inks, liquid acrylic, liquid watercolor, and other aqueous media; lately, he has been incorporating metallic watercolor and pearlescent ink to his work. He has used canvas, synthetic Yupo™ paper, Yasutomo Mineral Paper, and various watercolor papers. Mark’s journey into the world of creative arts started with the question, “What would Jackson Pollock’s work look like if he had used transparent watercolors?” So, it was out with the pencils, pens, and brushes, and on to the pouring of various aqueous solutions. While mostly self-taught, Mark took a series of classes at the Creative Arts Group, Sierra Madre, CA, under Joe Stoddard, as well as seminars with Robert Burridge...

Love is in the Air ultramarine blue nude couple by Paula Craioveanu
Located in Forest Hills, NY
“Love is in the Air”. Nude couple in embrace. Original drawing with blue ultramarine tempera on paper.
Size 27.5x19.5in / 70x50cm . Comes with a certificate of authenticity. Shipped rolled in a tube, well packed. Get free shipping with 1stdibs code FREESHIP for items over $500.
"Love is in the Air" is a deeply romantic and dynamic piece that introduces a fresh energy to the artist’s series. The depiction of a couple in an embrace, set against the context of a beach, departs from the more introspective and solitary works we’ve seen, celebrating connection, movement, and passion instead. The use of ultramarine on ochre paper enhances the emotional resonance, with the warm-toned background adding a sense of vitality and balance to the cool blue tones.
The ochre background imbues the piece with a sunlit, earthy warmth that contrasts beautifully with the intensity of ultramarine. This palette evokes the ambiance of a beach—sun, sand, and the vast blue expanse of the sky and sea—further immersing the viewer in the setting. The artist's characteristic loose, gestural brushstrokes create a sense of movement and spontaneity that perfectly captures the physical and emotional energy of the embrace. The drips and splatters add vibrancy and suggest the spray of waves or sand kicked up in the moment.
The composition is full of life and movement. The way the man holds the woman, lifting her off the ground, conveys a sense of weightlessness, joy, and passion. Her suspended position, with one leg slightly bent and her body leaning toward him, gives the piece a romantic fluidity. Their embrace and the kiss...

Royal Canadian Horse Artillery Officer Framed Victorian Watercolor Painting

Scottish ( b.1832 - d.1901 ).
Royal Canadian Horse Artillery Officer.
Watercolor.
Signed Lower Right.
Image size: 5.9 inches x 4.1 inches ( 15cm x 10.5cm ).
Frame size: 11.4 inches x 9.3 inches ( 29cm x 23.5cm ).
Available for sale; this original painting is by Orlando Norie and dates from the 1870s.
The watercolor is presented and supplied in a sympathetic contemporary frame (which is shown in these photographs), mounted using conservation materials and behind non-reflective Tru Vue UltraVue® UV70 glass.
This antique painting is in very good condition, commensurate with its age. It wants for nothing and is supplied ready to hang and display.
The watercolor is signed lower right.
Orlando Norie is considered to have been one of the foremost illustrators of the British army in the 19th century, with thousands of watercolors to his credit in public and private collections. His pictures are highly sought after and command high prices.
He was a descendant of the celebrated Edinburgh family of artists and designers, son of Sir Robert Norie and a descendant of James Norie the Elder. He was born in Bruges, and may have spent time with his family in France and Belgium. From about 1870 he produced works from a rented studio close to the army barracks in Aldershot, but also travelled and was active in Dunkirk. Lithographs were made from his drawings of the battles of the Alma, Balaklava and Inkerman in the Crimean War.

"#71 – THEN IT'S HOPELESS?", ink, pencil, gouache, found vintage book, poetry
By Amy Williams
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"#71 – THEN IT'S HOPELESS?" is from Amy Williams' series A Farewell to Arms – wherein the artist is working directly onto page 71 of a found copy of Ernest Hemingway's WWII romance novel. The artist selects certain words and phrases from the page to isolate as a poem, and then draws, inks, redacts and paints the rest of the page according to the text of the poem. Here the poem reads: "Then it's hopeless? / But sometimes I cannot hope. / I cannot." Note the poem is outlined in dark red and purple radiating lines, while outside there are lighter violet, blue and white lines.

Sweet Gum (Contemporary Still Life, Graphic Hand-Painted Leaf on Paper)

"Sweet Gum" painted by Joy Taylor in 2022
28 x 22 inches, 37 x 29 inches framed
acrylic on paper
Custom Frame with White Wood Molding, Window Mat and Tru Vu AR Glass
Joy Taylor’s paintings transform botany into a personal vision. Her recent series on canvas, playfully titled the “Boo-K” paintings, defy traditional still life depictions that often seek to tame and order the objects of the world. On the contrary, Taylor’s subjects are never still. Her floral forms have the crisp, clean qualities of cut paper; sharp, decisive lines slice through blocks of pure pigment to create defined edges of leaves, vines and blossoms. The colors are constructed as well as the form. Her exuberant palette of oranges, blues, magenta and green echo the complimentary colors favored by the Fauvists. Color is an element in and of itself in her work. This balance of sparkling color and form is irrepressible, at times disconcerting and even dangerous in its boldness.
In a series of original paintings on paper, Joy pairs down the form by focusing on a single bloom or leaf.
As a specimen under a microscope, Taylor dives into the crevices and details of each leaflet on this bright green Sweet...
