Folk Art Naive Oil Painting Ljubomir Milinkov Whimsical Pastoral Farm Landscape

About the Item

Ljubomir Milinkov (1938) Oil painting on board, Whimsical pastoral farm landscape Hand signed upper right, Dimensions: painting 12-1/2 x 15-1/2 inches. framed 18.5 x 21.5 inches Ljubomir Milinkov depicts a fantasy like setting using bold colors, and carefully planned out brushstrokes. The figures and inanimate objects that fill the composition are out of proportion, bi-dimensional, and primitive, cartoonist in terms of style. In fact this painting is iconic of Milinkov's Naif style. His work was sold by Wally Findlay Galleries in New York and Palm Beach and he has designed silk scarves for Hermes. Born in Sovac, Serbia, Arrived in France in 1962. Milinkov enters the world of art. He begins to distill his own style. Good life and beautiful models on the Place du Tertre in Montmartre fill and inspire him. In 1967 he went on an adventure to the USA. For 6 months in 1968 he crossed America from New York to San Francisco aboard his own Cadillac hearse, bought for this trip. It's the full hippie period, he shaves his head in contrast to all the bearded people around him. Back in New York in 1969, he exhibited at the Woodstock Music & Art Fair with 60 artists, five hundred thousand visitors. Sponsored by the organizers to register for 2 years at the New York School of Fine Arts, he declines this generous offer to preserve his freedom and explore his own fauvist mode of expression. Proud to be a graduate of the Fine Arts Schools of “Nulle part” and “Every where”. In 1972 he opened his first solo exhibition at the Masseur Museum of Art, Monroe, Louisiana. In 1973 he joined the Wally Findlay International Gallery, with which he worked exclusively for 16 years, exhibiting in New York, Chicago, Palm Beach, Beverly Hills, Paris. He was included in the show "One of a Kind" along with Artists: Camille Bombois, Orville Bulman, Henri Maik, Gustavo Novoa and Annette Ollivary. His tapestry “Noah's Ark” was purchased by the royal family of Saudi Arabia. In 1974 he returned to France and settled between Cannes and Paris. His collaboration with French design house legend Hermes began in 1982: creation of the first Carré “Jardin Enchanté”, followed in 1998 by Gavroches scarves “La Cavale Joyeuse” and “Les Ailes pleines de Joie” and in 2013 the Carré “Bateau Flowery”. It is the “Enchanted Garden” which will have had the honor in 1983 of being the emblem of Hermès' participation in the 150th anniversary of Central Park in New York, where he will be the guest of honor. Also in 1982, creation of his second Aubusson tapestry "Arche de Noé n ° 2". In 2000 his famous “Twin towers” paintings were exhibited for the first time by the Hammer Gallery in New York. The attack of September 11, 2001 will give them a very special meaning. They will be presented three times in the USA in memory of this tragedy. A year later, in 2002, “Tribute to 9-11” in Austin, at the Texas State Capitol; five years later, in 2007, “Homage to the Twin Towers” at the Fire Museum in New York; and 10 years later, in 2011, “Pride and Remembrance Exhibition 10th anniversary” at the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library and Museum in Austin Texas. Objects of lust, 20 paintings were stolen at the end of the 2002 exhibition at the Capitol in Austin. A long investigation carried out by a specialized firm will make it possible to find them, unexpectedly, stored in Chicago. These canvases are part of the artist's private collection. From 1990 to 2017 numerous exhibitions in France, Italy and the United States. Among which, in 1991 "La Terre et l'Amour" at the municipal museum in Mougins, in 1995 "Le Monde et la Fertility" at the Angelicum cultural center in Milan sponsored by the Cartier and Hermès houses, in 1997 "Eurostar" in Paris, in 2011-12-16 “Art en Capitale” at the Grands Palais, Champs Elysées Paris, in 2013-14-15-17 New-York Art Expo, 2015 Carrousel du Louvre Paris. Winner of the International Grand Prix for painting and sculpture, cup of the city of Beaulieu sur Mer (1997), winner Bronze medal “Art en Capitale” (2002), “Golden canvas of the year 2012 from the National Federation of French Culture ”, winner of the Madeleine Paillard prize,“ Art en Capital ”(2012),“ Giant of Fine Arts ”“ Art en Capital ”prize (2016). 2018: China In October 1998, he was asked by the AIAP gallery, Paris, (Alexandre Idier Art Promotion), in association with ToMaster, the first public art distribution company in China, to exhibit for the first time in China, in Shanghai, at the occasion of an inauguration sponsored by Mangoo Hub, a large Chinese company. Without hesitation he responds favorably. He thus made his first trip to China in Shanghai and Beijing where he received an extremely warm welcome. The exhibition brings together 10 of his works dedicated to horses (“Extraordinary Cavale”,… “Free to run”,… “Free ride”…), compared to his creations for Hermès (horses oblige). The exhibition is a great success and opens the door to a collaboration with ToMaster and AIAP for China. To explore Milinkov's work is to encounter a hymn to the Earth and to Love on bucolic paths.

  • Israeli Judaica Shtetl Family Shabbat Scene Naive Art Oil Painting
    By Natan Heber
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Natan Heber was trained by his father in Poland to be a ritual slaughterer. In 1925, he joined the Zionist movement "Mizrachi" and in 1936 immigrated to Palestine where he opened a poultry shop in Haifa. He began to paint at the age of sixty-one, after ill health forced him to retire. Driven by a need to memorialize his family and their shtetl community lost in the Holocaust, he drew scenes of traditional Jewish life. Unfamiliar with the conventions of scale and perspective, he set his heavily outlined frontal figures on steeply rising surfaces and often portrayed his father in monumental size to mark his importance. One of Israel's greatest naive-style painters. Along with Shalom of Safed, Kopel Gurwin and Gabriel Cohen, He is renowned as one of Israel's greatest living naive-style folk art painters, The Haifa Museum of Art will be opening the first ever Outsider Art exhibition (also known as Art Brut) in Israel in January 2013.

  • Whimsical French Folk Art, Naive, Oil Painting Madeline Marie Christine Clavier
    By Madeline Christine Clavier
    Located in Surfside, FL
    MADELINE CHRISTINE CLAVIER (1913-2015) Signature: Signed lower right & titled verso Medium: Oil on canvas Provenance: The collection of the artist's family Marie Christine Clavier was born in Saigon, Vietnam in 1913 to French parents and lived there for her formative years. She returned to France as a teenager and began to study painting. Her work quickly developed into whimsical paintings of poetry and songs – harmonized in a unique and distinct painting technique. Her work has an impasto feel and a folk art, outsider artist sensibility to it. Similar in style to Maik and other fantasy realists who use animals, flowers and foliage in their artworks. Marie Clavier painted ro herself rather than for profit as she was quite independently wealthy. She exhibited extensively in the United States in the 1970s especially across Connecticut and New York, showing at various galleries and cultural centres. She had numerous solo exhibitions in the 1970’s- notably at the Maison Francaise in New York and New York University. She showed at Galerie Bernheim Jeune in Paris. She won many awards for her work including Gold Medals and Palme D’Or medals. In 1988 the prestigious art publisher Leopard D’Or produced catalogue book on her life and work – by this point she had virtually given up painting. She died in 2015 aged 102. Bernheim-Jeune gallery is one of the oldest art galleries in Paris. Opened on Rue Laffitte in 1863 by Alexandre Bernheim (1839-1915), friend of Delacroix, Corot and Courbet, it changed location a few times before settling on Avenue Matignon. The gallery promoted realists, Barbizon school paintings and, in 1874, the first impressionist and later post-impressionist painters. It closed in 2019. In 1901, Alexandre Bernheim, with his sons, Josse (1870-1941), and Gaston (1870-1953), organized the first important exhibition of Vincent van Gogh paintings in Paris with the help of art critic Julien Leclercq. In 1906, Bernheim-Jeune frères started presenting works by Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard, Paul Cezanne, Henri-Edmond Cross, Kees van Dongen, Henri Matisse, Le Douanier Rousseau, Raoul Dufy, Maurice de Vlaminck, Amedeo Modigliani, Maurice Utrillo and Georges Dufrenoy...
