About the Item
Premiering for the first time in three decades, the original paintings of American artist Maurice Green. Born in 1908 in Latvia, Maurice Green studied with prominent artists of the day before settling in Los Angeles in the 1930’s. The artist continued his art education and began exhibiting throughout galleries in Southern California. As with many artists, his earliest style was more academic realist imagery, transitioning due to his intense fascination with the cubist avant garde movement into cubist imagery which became the trademark style of painting for the remainder of his life.
This is the first presentation of the paintings of Maurice Green since his death in 1993.
“Transition”, is original oil on canvas, signed, and dated1970, a painting which clearly defines his talent as a fine cubist artist. This painting was acquired directly from the private collection of the artists family.

Maurice Green
Latvian-born painter Maurice Green has gained a following in recent years among art collectors for his notable still-life paintings, which reflect the influences of Surrealism as well as Cubism.
Green was born in 1908 and studied with some of Europe’s most prominent art teachers before emigrating to the United States in the late 1920s. He settled in Los Angeles, where he continued his education and exhibited his realist paintings.
Green’s style evolved during the 1930s and 1940s, when he began creating figurative drawings in pen and ink on paper. His drawing Polynesia (1948) features a partially nude woman against a dazzling backdrop that ripples with energy in its arrangement of geometric shapes and graphic patterns.
In later years, Green’s style evolved again, and in the 1970s, his work consisted primarily of Cubist oil paintings on canvas, featuring bold, vivid colors. Many of his paintings from this era — such as Interlude (1974) and Sailboats (1980) — are still-lifes featuring stringed instruments like violins, dobros and mandolins, often positioned in front of an open window that looks out onto an inviting seascape or a blue sky. Other paintings of the period such as Elevated Dimensions (1972), Construct (1974) and Ascension (1978) sit firmly within the Cubist tradition and feature interesting arrays of colorful overlapping geometric forms.
Throughout his career and until he died in 1993, Green had numerous solo exhibitions in galleries throughout Southern California. His works are also held in several private art collections.

1950s Signed Abstract Oil & Metal Foil on Board Textured Painting 'Warlock'
Located in Denver, CO
This original abstract oil and metal foil on board painting titled Warlock by George Cecil Carter (1908-1987) dates back to the 1950s. The piece is a striking example of Abstract Expressionism, painted in dynamic shades of dark blue, gray, white, orange, and purple. The artist's use of textured metal foil and oil paint creates an intriguing interplay of light and shadow, enhancing the piece's modernist appeal. Signed by Carter in the lower right corner, and titled and dated on the verso, this unique work is presented in its original George Nix frame, measuring 30 ¾ x 36 ¾ inches, with the image size itself measuring 23 ¼ x 29 ¼ inches.
About the Artist:
George Cecil Carter was born in 1908 in Woodward, Oklahoma, and became a prominent figure in the Colorado Abstract Expressionist scene. Despite having no formal artistic training, Carter developed a distinctive style, influenced by his diverse life experiences. He worked in various industries, including as a coal miner, gold miner, and machinist at Schneebeck's Industries in Colorado Springs for 20 years. During this time, Carter honed his artistic skills under the mentorship of Charles Bunnell, a painter from the Broadmoor Academy.
Carter’s works reflect the boldness and emotional intensity of Abstract Expressionism, with vivid colors and strong compositions. He worked primarily out of Colorado Springs and Canon City, Colorado, and exhibited his art nationally, including shows in Texas and Illinois. His contemporaries included fellow Colorado artists such as Al Wynne, Mary Chenoweth...
