About the Item

Bernard Lamotte French, 1903-1983 Parisian Cafe Oil on canvas 36 ¼ by 48 ¼ in, w/ frame 41 by 53 in Signed lower right Born in Paris, on the Boulevard de Vaugirard in 1903. Bernard Lamotte always wanted to be a painter, at the age of six after visiting his ill father in the hospital, he returned home to record the scene in the smallest of details. At the age of 13, a fall down a staircase hospitalized him for two years, then kept him bedridden at home for another. His favorite pastime was watching the changing mood and atmosphere of the Rue de Faubourg St. Honore below his bedroom window. At age 17 he was accepted to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and studied under Fernand Corman and Lucien Simon. Lamotte had moved to New York City by 1935, where he was based during most of his artistic life. Within one year, he had secured a one-man show at the Wildenstein Gallery. His studio above La Grenouille restaurant became a gathering place for many expatriate French artists, writers and actors. He married Lilyan White Kent, an artist and former wife of a Hollywood producer. He became a naturalized citizen in 1951. The couple divided their time between the city apartment and a home in Southampton. He and his wife traveled widely including Tahiti, the West Indies and India among others and continually returned to Paris for his subject matter, capturing fleeting moments of everyday life in the quartiers, parks and cafes. His method was to sketch en plein air and photograph and then complete canvases in his studio.

"Un poco mas lejos 03" Abstract Painting 39" x 29.5" inch by Patricio Gonzalez
By Patricio Gonzalez
Located in Culver City, CA
"Un poco mas lejos 03" Abstract Painting 39" x 29.5" inch by Patricio Gonzalez Oil and silver leaves on paper From "Looking for Happiness" series LOOKING FOR HAPPINESS Like "el dorado", a cultural construction, a myth, the Looking for happiness series talks about the illusion of happiness. Using coordinates between different geographical points and world views, seeking to generate a dialogue between stories. In this way, places speak to tell us about degraded utopias, religious crusades, martyrs and oppressors, wars, victories, and defeats. All searches for what cannot be found. The infinite existing possibilities, in this continuous present and its accumulation, to be history. The utopian idea of achieving completeness or completeness. The transformation of the fabric into jewelry, the transmutation that moves from the sacred to the economic. The "object of desire" is the engine of life and its different permutations. Curriculum vitae Born on February 14, 1974, Santiago, Chile. Study at the School of Fine Arts of t he University of Chile and the University Complutense Hotels guest, Spain. He also attended workshops in painting, drawing and engraving the Circulo de Bellas Artes in Madrid. Work in the study of Guillermo Muñoz Vera...
