Born in 1903, Raphael Pricert is a listed Russian born Impressionist painter who trained in Bucharest, Odessa, Italy and Paris. His works were exhibited widely in Europe as well as in the United States. In San Francisco, he was represented by the prestigious Maxwell Galleries. He died in 1967. Born in Balta (Russia) December 19, 1905 into a well-to-do family of grain dealers in Crimea. In 1918 his father sends him to study drawing and painting with Maître Ilya Bersetski in Odessa. In 1919 the Pricert family were forced by the October Revolution to leave Russia and escaped to Romania. Raphael Pricert pursues his artistic studies in the Art School of Bucharest. In 1923 Raphael Pricert went to Florence to study at the Florence Art Academy with Bastianini, Trentacosta, Felice Carena etc. In 1928 he wins the second prize of the Florence Academy of Arts and then returns to his family in Bucharest, Roumania. In 1929 a Russian theatre company stages a play by Chekov in Bucharest. He spends his evenings in the theatre wings, drawing the portraits of the actors, and soon becomes their friend. During his stay in this city he takes part in an exhibition and decides to give up the material security his family offers him, to dedicate himself to art. He moves to Zurich – Switzerland, where he finds he can make a living from drawing for advertising. He also spends much time drawing and painting. 1929, Raphael Pricert goes to Paris, the world capital of creativity and artistic freedom, attracted as so many artists of his time by the radiance of the Ecole de Paris which had attracted to the Montparnasse district the most cosmopolitan and advanced culture of Europe from the turn of the century. In 1930 he is back in Zurich for a few months and organizes at the Actuarius gallery an exhibition of the works he had left behind with various friends. The interest shown in this exhibition confirms his decision to dedicate his life to painting, and to settle down in this unequalled artistic centre which is the Paris of those days. He moves to a small studio Place de la Sorbonne where he lives until he gets married in 1935. He goes to the Free Academies, ‘Atelier Julian’ and ‘Grande Chaumière’ Every evening in Montparnasse on the corner of Vavin, he meets up with painters and sculptors from all parts of the world : Russian, Polish, and also Italian… There he meets Benn and Mane-Katz who eventually become his close friends. He draws characters in the Cafes : the Dome, the Select and the Coupole. In 1932 Antonio Aniante, a political journalist and writer, who owns a gallery/bookshop on rue Vavin, chooses him to represent the hopes of the new Europe along with other artists who are also hardly known such as Filippo de Pisis, Giorgio de Chirico, Oskar Kokoschka and Kostia Terechkovitch. In 1934 Raphael Pricert takes part in the exhibition of the Independent Artists and also organizes another exhibition in Caen. Antonio Aniante prefaces this latter exhibition with these warm words "I had the privilege of presenting his works for the first time in Paris along with the recent paintings of Tozzi, Kokoshka and Coubine who represent the finest examples of the French School of Painting. I can state without exaggeration that he belongs to the greatest artists of this new generation". He presents oils, watercolors and drawings : portraits and views of Old Paris, Italy and Switzerland. The interest raised by his works is so great that he is selected by the Jury of the Salon des Tuileries, where he later exhibited that same year. 1943 : Having escaped the Gestapo by miracle, he manages to find paints and canvases to continue his drawing and painting, travelling around the region, painting numerous landscapes, modest homes and portraits of humble and picturesque people. 1944-1946 : shortly after the Liberation, he exhibits his paintings in Vixouze, Polminhac, Vic-sur-Cère and Aurillac – sponsored by the National Intellectual Committee. In spite of the difficulties and shortages of those times, he gains a reputation in this beautiful region of France. Well-to-do and even more modest people want to buy his works. From September 21st to October 5, 1946 the Gallery Giraudo on Avenue de l’Opera in Paris puts on an exhibition of his Auvergne paintings. This exhibition was a success and it was warmly praised in the art press. He reappears in the Salon des Tuileries in 1946 with two of his Auvergne paintings : the ‘Auvergne tramp’ and the ‘Old Salers’, and he later exhibits several canvases and watercolors at the Hotel de Bordeaux in Aurillac from December 17 to December 30, 1946. In May 1947, Raphael Pricert and his wife acquire French nationality. He returns to the Auvergne and exhibits his Auvergne works at the Galerie de la Cité in May 1947, at the Chamber of Commerce of Aurillac in February 1949, at the third Salon des Beaux Arts et lettres of the Massif Central region, and on the Faubourg Saint Honoré in Paris from February 25 to March 15, 1950. From 1947 he is insearch of new inspiration : in Belgium at a joint exhibition, in the summer on the Côte d’Azur and in Corsica, in Italy, in Venice, Florence and Rome to which he returned frequently as of 1948, and of course always Paris. From end 1947 to January 3, 1948, he puts on a exhibition in Paris, rue La Boetie at the Gallery Cambaceres, where he shows his paintings of Bruges and Corsica. In 1948, his cousin Irving, long lost since the First World War, and who since then settled in New York, comes to hear about him. An American journalist contacted him to find out if he knew of a certain Raphael Pricert, the painter of a painting he purchased in Berlin, and at the back of which was the address of rue Besnard in Paris. Irving came over to Paris to find his cousin, and this is how he was introduced to a Gallery in New York the Associated American Artists . In 1949 Raphael Pricert goes to the United States. From June 6 to June 25, he exhibits at the Associated American Artists with twenty five paintings in the two large rooms he is allocated. He receives collectors, happy to discover a painter of the French School. He is given orders for portraits. With four of his paintings, he enters the collection Nathan Cummings. In 1952 Abe Saperstein, the director of the Harlem Globe-trotters, the famous American basketball team, meets him in Paris and visits his artist studio.He orders his own portrait as well as the portraits of all the players in his team. He is enthusiastic and invites him to exhibit in Chicago, promising to introduce him to the best art galleries. In 1953 Raphael Pricert returns to the USA in March to have an exhibition at the Gallery Frank J. Oelschlaeger. The day before the ‘vernissage’ (opening), he writes to his wife who had remained in Paris, that he has already received orders, and that the exhibition looks promising. He displays about 40 paintings of France, Italy, Spain along with a few water colours. He enjoys immediate success. His catalogue listing is covered with sold signs. The Chicago Daily Tribune writes three articles about Raphael Pricert and he is also interviewed on television. He is fascinated by Venice. In 1959 he tells a journalist who is interviewing him, that he has been to Italy 17 times. In 1954, he returns to the USA : In February he exhibits in Saint Louis (Missouri) at the Noonan-Kocian Gallery, and the Missouri Athletic Sports Club buys one of his large Montmartre paintings.

Loren Munk (American, b. 1951) Cut paper collage "Home Boys with Chicken & Bike", collage and mixed media on paper, signed "Munk '85", bears artist's stamp, label on back from Gabrielle Bryers Gallery NYC, 15" x 22" sheet, framed 23.5" x 30.5" .African American kids in a park. Done in a manner that recalls Romare Bearden. The artist Loren Munk (born 1951) is primarily known for his YouTube nickname James Kalm as an uploader of videos about New York exhibitions, amongst others. He presents himself as a maker of contemporary paintings for several decades and of cubist paintings of urban imagery. Munk has received accolades for his drawings and mosaics. He differs from traditional mosaic artists by the manner in which he incorporates glass into his decorative paintings. His unique and innovative use of materials such as mirror, gold-leaf and glass mosaic affirmed him as a founding force of Kitsch Art and a leading member of New York Neo-Expressionism. Munk's work debuted in SoHo in 1981 with a double show at J. Fields Gallery and Gabrielle Bryers. Since then, he has overseen an international career. In addition to exhibiting in Brazil, France, Germany and the United States, Munk has received national and overseas, public and private commissions. He is well represented in important collections throughout Europe, South and North America and the Middle East. Most recently, Munk has been producing a series of paintings which tackle the subject of art itself through a historical and diagrammatic lens. Munk documents the New York art world in YouTube videos, using the name James Kalm.

Size is of the full sheet. André-Aimé-René Masson (4 January 1896 – 28 October 1987) was a French artist. Masson was born in Balagny-sur-Thérain, Oise, but when he was eight his father's work took the family first briefly to Lille and then to Brussels. He began his study of art at the age of eleven at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, under the guidance of Constant Montald, and later he studied in Paris. He fought for France during World War I and was seriously injured. His early works display an interest in cubism. He later became associated with surrealism, and he was one of the most enthusiastic employers of automatic drawing, making a number of automatic works in pen and ink. Masson would often force himself to work under strict conditions, for example, after long periods of time without food or sleep, or under the influence of drugs. He believed forcing himself into a reduced state of consciousness would help his art be free from rational control, and hence get closer to the workings of his subconscious mind. Masson experimented with altered states of consciousness with artists such as Antonin Artaud, Michel Leiris, Joan Miro, Georges Bataille, Jean Dubuffet, and Georges Malkine, who were neighbors of his studio in Paris. From around 1926 he experimented by throwing sand and glue onto canvas and making oil paintings based around the shapes that formed. By the end of the 1920s, however, he was finding automatic drawing rather restricting, and he left the surrealist movement and turned instead to a more structured style, often producing works with a violent or erotic theme, and making a number of paintings in reaction to the Spanish Civil War (he associated once more with the surrealists at the end of the 1930s). Under the German occupation of France during World War II, his work was condemned by the Nazis as degenerate. With the assistance of Varian Fry in Marseille, Masson escaped the Nazi regime on a ship to the French island of Martinique from where he went on to the United States. Upon arrival in New York City, U.S. customs officials inspecting Masson's luggage found a cache of his erotic drawings. Denouncing them as pornographic, they ripped them up before the artist's eyes. Living in New Preston, Connecticut his work became an important influence on American abstract expressionists, In particular Arshile Gorky drew on it, as did Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. Following the war, he returned to France and settled in Aix-en-Provence where he painted a number of landscapes. Masson drew the cover of the first issue of Georges Bataille's review, Acéphale, in 1936, and participated in all its issues until 1939. His brother-in-law, the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan...

Joanne Freeman Cadmium 40, 2021 oil on linen 40 x 30 in. (freem173) This original oil painting on linen by Joanne Freeman features rich, red abstracted shapes on the linen background. "My drawings and paintings utilize geometry and are influenced by architecture and design. They were initially influenced by the symbols and signage found on the streets of New York. That early visual language emerged into a reductive formal language with roots in modernist aesthetics and ideology. My drawings are made with gouache on handmade Indian Khadi paper. The source for the work can be found in the geometry of the city and the effects of light and shadow. They also reference graphic popular culture, specifically the simple direct designs of midcentury media...
