About the Item

Title: Still Life with Chess Materials : Oil on Canvas Date : 1960's Dimensions : 42 1/2 x 31 in. In the late 1960's, Daniel Brennan had a day job loading boxcars for Railway Express. During nights, he would go to a coffee house (Lawrence Gallery and Coffee House, at 43rd and Main St., KCMO), to sit and draw before heading home to paint. The gallery owners, Anne and Sidney Lawrence, took an interest in Brennan's work - especially Sidney, an art historian. Sidney is quoted describing the vision of Brennan's work as being " rooted in a sense of organic line and the flower shapes of Art Nouveau," and "his portraits achieve dignity through a decision of line and purity of composition." The Lawrence's made an offer to buy 15 of Brennan's paintings if he painted in Mexico for a year. When Brennan arrived in Mexico, he discovered the colors and native life resonated with his artistic sensibilities. He eventually moved to San Miguel de Allende and stayed there for the rest of his life. His work was featured in many solo and group exhibitions in Kansas City, Texas, California, New York and Mexico. Brennan's work has also been placed in private collections in Missouri, California, Hawaii and elsewhere.

Checkmate
By Yuri Martinez Ramos
Located in Los Angeles, CA
YURI MARTINEZ RAMOS "CHECKMATE" OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNED, TITLED CUBAN-AMERICAN, DATED 2017 53.25 X 41.5 INCHES "Checkmate" is that great end-finale, that surprised everyone because you basically were playing or getting ready for a totally different game. An unexpected move from the governments who always have a "card up their sleeve" to screw you. Yuri Martinez Ramos was born in Havana, Cuba on November 24, 1964. He studied at the Elemental School of Plastic Arts from 1975 – 1979 and the National School of the Arts from 1979 – 1983. Martinez’ figurative paintings have been compared to Botero because of his satirical social commentary. His style, however, is uniquely his own with typically vibrant Latin colors and use of expressive magical realism. His paintings tell his story and the story of the Cuban dilemma. Martinez was granted permission by the US Justice Department after much effort with Cuban authorities to come to the US with his family and pursue his career outside Cuba. He now lives and works in Texas. Papillon Gallery...
