20th Century Oil painting of an Impressionist River Landscape of Cahors, France
Located in Woodbury, CT
20th Century Oil painting of an Impressionist River Landscape of Cahors, France Moroney was born on the 14th of February 1949 in South London. Of Anglo Irish parentage, his father was typical of his generation and worried about Ken’s artistic temperament which he viewed as effeminate. As a result, Ken took up boxing and won a gold medal for South London in his teens. His art continued to flourish with his trademark striking use of color. His main medium oils and he favors romantic subjects of Edwardian times. Ken has traveled extensively and spent 2 years working for major galleries in New York. The Royal Academy nominated him in 1976 as being one of the few promising young artists to emerge this century: "Ken Moroney has considerable talent, any painting purchased now can only be seen as a sound long term investment." Ken Moroney's work now hangs in many important collections and has had paintings exhibited at The Royal Academy (London), and the Kline Galleries (Canada). The painting came from a private collection and previously came from Duncan Miller...

Coastal Landscape
Located in San Francisco, CA
This artwork "Coastal Landscape" c.1970 is a oil painting on canvas by Russian artist Irina Belotelkin Roublon 1913-2009. It is signed lower left by the artist. The canvas size is 18 x 24 inches. It is in very good condition. About the artist. Irina Belotelkin Roublon, née Roudakoff, was born in Elisavetgrad, Ukraine to the Russian noblesse ancienne, descendant of Catherine the Great, she was a student at the Mariinsky Noble Ladies' Institute , Novocherkassk, Russia. She was orphaned at the time of the Russian Civil War after her father, General Paul Roudakoff, was fatally wounded in battle; 5 days later her mother died of typhus. Still unaware of her parents' death, and after witnessing her two sisters' deaths from starvation, the young Irina, then 8 years old, made her way over 1,000 kilometers, alone and through many privations to Moscow and the Estonian embassy there, with whom her Estonian uncle Volodya Blonsky had made arrangements. After a year in Moscow, and appeals to the Estonian consul, Irina was aided in a dramatic escape from the Soviet Union, to her aunt Anna Blonsky Lassburg (1882–1940) and her husband Doctor Genrick Lassburg in Tallinn, Estonia. Eventually, after in 1929, traveling through Ellis Island and admitted as a student, of voice studies, she joined her brother who had settled, in 1923, in the United States. Irina came to San Francisco during the Second World War, Among Irina's devotions were ballet and opera. She often entertained friends Rudolf Nureyev, Mikhail Baryshnikov, and Sergei Leiferkus when they were in town. Natalia Makarova and Yuri Possokhov were often guests at Irina's Russian Christmas and Easter parties. From the early 1960s through the late 1980s, Irina studied and prolifically created still life and portrait paintings in oil and water color, excelling in flower compositions. She held studio and feature exhibitions; she competed and won prizes. Her work is in holdings throughout the San Francisco Bay area, Europe and Russia. In 1965 she undertook private study with two prominent Russian painters, including Serge Ivanoff; she executed a portrait of her two masters. She cherished her portrait as executed by Serge Ivanoff. Among her most accomplished pieces are those of iris and the large white Matilija poppy...

"Elegant Lady in Winter, Trinity Church, New York" Herman Hyneman, Gilded Age
Located in New York, NY
Herman N. Hyneman (1849 - 1907) Elegant Lady in Winter, Trinity Church, New York City Oil on canvas 22 x 15 inches Signed lower right Provenance: Freemans, 2005, Lot 76 Herman N. Hyneman was a noted American portrait and figure painter with ties to both Philadelphia and New York. He was born July 27,1849 to Leon and Adeline Hyneman in Philadelphia. ("Who Was Who in American Art" lists his birth date as either 1849 or 1859, but we have confirmed that the birth date is 1849). Virtually nothing is known about his early years, but given the fact that the family resided in a wealthy section of Philadelphia and the fact that he traveled to Paris to study in the studio of Leon Bonnat when he was but 20 years old, it is presumed that the family was financially comfortable if not well to do. Hyneman exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1879 and 1881, which was quite an accomplishment given his tender age. He returned to the United States in 1882 and after a year in Philadelphia, he established a studio at 58 West 57th Street, New York, NY, where he painted portraits to support himself and scenes of beautiful fair-skinned women walking in the snow to exhibit at major exhibitions throughout the United States. Hyneman exhibited at the the Brooklyn Art Association in 1882, 1883 and 1884 and at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1883 and 1888. Beginning in 1882 and continuing up until 1905, he exhibited regularly at the National Academy of Design. Despite the fact that he exhibited fourteen paintings at the National Academy over a span of three different decades, he was never elected as a member. In the 1880's his paintings sold for between $100 and $1500, which were substantial sums for that period. Hyneman also exhibited at the Salmagundi Club and the Philadelphia Art Club and was a member of each organization. He won a medal at the American Art Society in 1904 and also exhibited at the Chicago Art Institute. A handwritten label on one of his paintings indicates that he also exhibited in Budapest, Hungary. In 1892, Hyneman married the noted artist Juliet Jolley (aka Jolly), who had previously modeled for him. Thereafter, they shared a studio and on at least one occasion exhibited together. The February 5, 1896 edition of the "New York Times" reported on a "pleasant studio reception" at 58 West 57th Street where the paintings of both Herman and Juliet were shown to members of New York Society including Mr. And Mrs. Edwin Blashfield. At least one of Hyneman's Painting " A Sensation on Wall Street" which depicted a lovely young woman in fur coat with Muff in front of the Stock Exchange, was made into a post card and reproductions of his paintings are known to exist, although not plentiful. At least one etching is known, "Desdemona," which was reproduced in a book by Frederic Stokes. Herman Hyneman...

Our gallery provides Certificate of authenticity of this artwork. Dicono di Angini Tra spiritualità e colore La scomposizione delle sue opere è frutto di quella della sua anima, sempre alla ricerca di qualcosa che vada oltre. Nei suoi occhi, come nelle sue tele, c’è una malinconia “viva” che ci attraversa e ci emoziona, trasportandoci in un mondo fantastico e complesso; come lui. Tutta la sua vita è stata una sperimentazione artistica volta alla conoscenza di sé, degli altri e del mondo che lo circonda. Nei suoi colori predomina il giallo della luce divina e della speranza. Una consapevolezza del sé ottenuta mediante la sperimentazione artistica come strumento di conoscenza, come atto di autoriflessione, attraverso l’indagine del proprio vissuto, in costante tensione con l’esterno, quasi volesse far emergere quel tripudio di emozioni che tiene nelle stanze della sua anima. Olimpia Bruni Intervista con Dalì Da un’idea di Josè Van Roy Dalì, “In mostra con Dalì”. Un progetto d’arte che si concretizza in una mostra itinerante, in omaggio al padre Salvador Dalì. Lo scorso anno partiva, come una caccia al tesoro, presso la Galleria Tondinelli, nel favoloso scenario del Complesso Monumentale di San Carlino delle Quattro Fontane, a Roma, la prima edizione della mostra itinerante con la partecipazione degli artisti: Vittorio Angini, Graziano Peretti, Fausto Ciotti, Ileana Della Matera, Loredana Bendini, Ada Cardilli, Patrizio Veronese e Mario Spigariol. Tra gli artisti in mostra di particolare rilievo – non togliendo prestigio agli altri partecipanti – le sorprendenti opere del pittore aretino Vittorio Angini. Invitato nel 2007 su segnalazione di Josè Van Roy Dalì, figlio d’arte del famoso pittore catalano, a partecipare alla “Quadriennale d’Arte Contemporanea”, tenutasi a Roma presso il “Vittoriano”, Angini collabora attualmente all’importante progetto d’arte “In mostra con Dalì”. I suoi quadri si trovano in collezioni private negli USA, Canada, Australia, Nuova Zelanda, Sud Africa, Inghilterra, Irlanda. La sua pittura, risplendente di luce diffusa, penetra nella nostra capacità e sensibilità di stimolare ricordi ancestrali, che pensiamo sepolti nei meandri della nostra memoria. In molte delle sue opere par di cogliere una sorta di metempsicosi del colore, che nelle sue ricercate tinte pare trasferirsi, espandersi, in ogni angolo della tela, fluttuando oltre le rigide forme del contorno, e dove la sacralità della luce rischiara quelle impalpabili zone della nostra anima in cui risiedono i sentimenti e le emozioni più profonde. I riverberi della luce scaturita dal colore allargano l’immagine, che pare perdersi, oltrepassare i confini della percezione visiva, quasi ad illustrare, ad indicare la strada di un mondo che necessariamente dimora e vive oltre il quadro, espandendosi in orizzonti più ampi. Le forme, i paesaggi, i giochi di colore, i ritratti, appaiono come effigi della nostra esistenza, che coesistono nell’intercalare del ticchettio del tempo che scorre. Addentrarsi nelle parole di Josè Van Roy Dalì è sempre oltremodo affascinante e l’incontro avvenuto presso la sua casa museo mi ha fornito l’occasione per approfondimenti sul pittore Vittorio Angini e su “In Mostra con Dalì”. D. I quadri di Angini, che ha voluto appartenessero sin dagli esordi al suo “viaggio” itinerante, svelano le verità nascoste dei nostri desideri e della nostra immaginazione. Trovano affinità con le Sue opere d’arte ed il Suo percorso pittorico? R. Prima di tutto trovano affinità con il mio gusto e con il mio senso estetico del bello. Inoltre, scavando nel “labirinto” artistico di Angini, tra i lavori del passato e nei vari percorsi, ho trovato molteplici mondi paralleli multicromatici, che mi hanno fatto apprezzare ulteriormente il lavoro di questo artista. D. Ho avuto modo di ammirare tra le molte opere esposte nella sua galleria privata, appunto in Via Salvador Dalì, quelle di Vittorio Angini. So che sono state largamente apprezzate nel mondo della cultura e dell’arte. Un suo parere strettamente personale su tali opere? R. Il modo immediato di trasmettere, attraverso i colori, indefinibili emozioni, con la medesima semplicità di un grande romanziere. D. Maestro, in questa interessante esposizione “In mostra con Dalì”, ciascun artista presenterà, accanto alle sue, tre opere. So che ha fatto la ricerca dei pittori presenti in mostra con molto impegno e serietà, con quale criterio li ha selezionati? R. Ho saputo “ascoltare” le vibrazioni del colore e individuare, attraverso le varie tematiche, la peculiare sensibilità di ogni singolo artista.

Figurative Paintings for Sale

Figurative art, as opposed to abstract art, retains features from the observable world in its representational depictions of subject matter. Most commonly, figurative paintings reference and explore the human body, but they can also include landscapes, architecture, plants and animals — all portrayed with realism.

While the oldest figurative art dates back tens of thousands of years to cave wall paintings, figurative works made from observation became especially prominent in the early Renaissance. Artists like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and other Renaissance masters created naturalistic representations of their subjects.

Pablo Picasso is lauded for laying the foundation for modern figurative art in the 1920s. Although abstracted, this work held a strong connection to representing people and other subjects. Other famous figurative artists include Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud. Figurative art in the 20th century would span such diverse genres as Expressionism, Pop art and Surrealism.

Today, a number of figural artists — such as Sedrick Huckaby, Daisy Patton and Eileen Cooper — are making art that uses the human body as its subject.

Because figurative art represents subjects from the real world, natural colors are common in these paintings. A piece of figurative art can be an exciting starting point for setting a tone and creating a color palette in a room.
