Signed lower right by the artist. Francesco J. Spicuzza, born in Sicily on July 23, 1883, came to America at the age of 8. He supported himself as a fruit peddler until a newspaperman gave him $4 a week to go to school. He attended classes at the Milwaukee Art Students League, where he studied under Alexander Mueller. There he learned to paint in the then-fashionable "Munich School" technique, with detailed realism in heavy browns and grayed-out hues. Spicuzza completed eight grades in four years, and then in 1911, three businessmen advanced him enough money to allow him to study in New York under artist and teacher John Carlson. It was during this time that Spicuzza changed his style of painting, developing an impressionistic use of color, form and atmospheric renditions. After a period of grinding poverty, one of Spicuzza's pictures won a major New York competition. It was the first of 60 wins, both in the U.S. and Paris. He became a fashionable painter, and many of the leading collections have his work. Spicuzza's typical works were beach scenes, still life, landscapes and portraits done in pastels, oils, ink, charcoal and watercolors. Much of his work traced the history of Milwaukee in the early 1900s. He was probably best known for his scenes of women and children splashing in the waves...

Gorgeous early 20th Century American Impressionist landscape of Connecticut red house by George M. Bruestle (American, 1871 - 1939), November 1914. Signed lower left and on verso. Dated on verso. Presented in gilt-toned wood frame. Image size: 8"H x 10"W. George Matthew Bruestle is an American Realist/Impressionist painter known for his intimate landscapes. Born and raised in New York City, Bruestle studied at the Art Students' League of New York in 1886 at the young age of fifteen and later in Paris. That same year, Bruestle visited Essex, CT and eventually purchased a second home in Hadlyme, Old Lyme as the Art Colony formed. Bruestle's main studio was in New York City. Inspired by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot [1796-1875] and other French landscape painters, Bruestle's style was a mix of Early Realism and Early Impressionist techniques. He was an adept draftsman and his paintings favored earlier European examples but, later took on a brighter Impressionist palette and brushy quality of the Old Lyme Art...

Stunning signed and dated modernist oil on canvas by Argentinian painter Alfredo Guttero. The work depicts a portrait of a young Argentinian woman. It is beautifully and the brush strokes make it almost pointillist like. This work has come from the collection of the esteemed Jewish art collector Gaston Prosper Levy and was gifted top him by the painter. Prosper Levy held one of the most important collections of modern French art - many of the works were taken by the Nazis from his home in France in 1940. This work has been assessed by the Art Loss Register and is not recorded on their database. Signature: Signed, dedicated and dated 1918 upper right Dimensions: Framed: 29"x24.5 Unframed: 26"x21.5" Provenance: Original exhibition number to frame The collection of Gaston Prosper Levy Alfredo Nicolás Guttero was born in Buenos Aires on May 26, 1882. He studies music as a child and from an early age he shows his drawing abilities. He starts a law career which he quits two years later to start painting full time. Ernesto de la Cárcova and Martín Malharro encourage him towards this change and, in 1904 he gets a scholarship to travel to France to further his work. His scholarship only lasted a year, but with his family’s help and his work related to decorative art, he manages to stay in Paris until 1917, where he studies under Maurice Denis. He moves to Spain, and towards 1917, he studies in Madrid and La Coruña. Then he moves to Segovia in 1918. In this occasion he takes parts in a collective exhibition of Argentine painters and sculptors, together with artists such as Fray Guillermo Butler and Pablo Curatella Manes, among others. After his passing through Germany, Austria and Italy, in 1925 he settles in Genova where he holds an exhibition of his entire artistic production to date. After 23 years in Europe, on September 26, 1927, Guttero arrives in Buenos Aires, and on October 20, he holds an exhibit at Asociación Amigos del Arte. That same year, the Comisión Nacional de Bellas Artes acquires for the Museo Nacional his piece: Mujeres indolentes (Indolent women). A week later he takes part in the Feria del Boliche de Arte invited by Leonardo Estarico and Atalaya. Upon his return from Genova, he continues his investigation and development of the pictorial techniques denominated by him as “cooked plaster”, a technical procedure based on a paste of plaster with pigments mixed in with glue that the artist generally applied mounted on wooden supports. As of this moment, Guttero starts in Buenos Aies an intensive array of exhibits and other activities which make a big impact on the local cultural scene, apart from continuing with his personal art production. Between 1927 and 1932, the year of his sudden death, Alfredo Guttero takes part, among other projects, in the “3ª Exposición Comunal de Artes Aplicadas e Industriales 1927- 1928”, where he is awarded the Grand Prize in the Sección Pintura Decorativa; and the “X Salón de Otoño de Rosario” (1928) where he gets the Gold Medal for the Figure category; he presents works in the exhibits organized by Ateneo Popular de la Boca (1928); “XVIII Salón Nacional“ (1929) and is awarded the Second Municipal Prize for his work Playa (Beach). In 1929, he organizes the “Nuevo Salón” in Buenos Aires, Rosario and La Plata. He presents his work at the “XIX Salón Nacional de Bellas Artes” where he gets the First Prize in painting with his work Feria (Street market); in September of that same year he inaugurates his fourth individual exhibition at Amigos del Arte and participates in the selection of paintings which will appear in post cards that this institution would print eventually. In 1930 he is named artistic advisor of the Asociación Wagneriana and director of its Plastic Arts Section. That same year he organizes the “Salón de Pintores Modernos. Primer Grupo” in Buenos Aires; exhibits at Amigos del Arte, at the “Salón de Pintores y Escultores Modernos” and at show rooms in Rosario and Santa Fe. In January, 1931 he takes part in the “First Baltimore Pan-American Exhibition of Contemporary Paintings” and is awarded the Museum of Art Award with his piece Anunciación (Announcement), which he later donates to the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de Buenos Aires. That same year he organizes exhibits of Miguel Carlos Victorica and Demetrio Urruchúa in Amigos del Arte and, in May, Guttero presents his work at the Salón Centenario de Montevideo, “Primer Grupo Argentino de Pintores Modernos”. In June he directs together with Falcini, courses on Plastic Art and works on stage scenery for the Colón Theater. Also in 1931, he organizes the “Salón de Pintores Modernos” in Amigos del Arte and takes part at the Salón Nacional, being awarded the Eduardo Sívori Prize. On April 15, 1932 they open together with Pedro Domínguez Neira, Raquel Forner and Alfredo Bigatti the Cursos Libres de Arte Plástico (Free plastic art courses). That same year Guttero is awarded the First Municipal Prize for his work Oda (Ode). In November, he is invited to take part in the “Salón de Arte del Cincuentenario de La Plata” and, on December 1, he dies in Buenos Aires at the age of 50. The following year, between October and November, the Dirección Nacional de Bellas Artes organizes...
