Circa 1965

About the Item

Signed lower right, 'A. Úbeda' for Augustin Úbeda (Spanish, 1925-2007) and painted circa 1965. Formerly in the collection of Jean Negulesco, the artist and Hollywood Film Director. This notable Spanish painter and graphic artist worked in a lyrical, surrealist style suffused with sensuality and irony, in which one can see the influence of his countrymen Goya and Picasso as well as of Marc Chagall, of whom he was a self-proclaimed admirer. Agustin Úbeda Manchego-Levers Moreno-Romero first studied at the Escuela de Bellas Artes in San Fernando, Spain. He received a scholarship from the French Institute in Madrid that funded his travel to Paris, where he first encountered the work of Marc Chagall. Returning to Spain, he continued to paint and teach. He was appointed professor of Fine Arts at his former school, the Escuela de San Fernando, becoming chair in 1987. Ubeda exhibited internationally with success and was the recipient of numerous medals, prizes and juried awards including Young French Painter (1957) and the Grand Prize for Painting of the Circle of Fine Arts (1980). The artist's work is held in the permanent collections of museums world-wide including the Museum of the City of Paris, the Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe, the Museum of the City of Geneva and the Academy of Fine Arts, Madrid among others. The painting is accompanied by a first-edition copy of "UBEDA" by Jose Hierra and Manuel Conde (Manchester, Sao Paolo, 1970).

  • 'Mother and Child', Woman Impressionist, Paris, Académie Julian, Benezit
    Located in Santa Cruz, CA
    Initialed lower right, 'A.E.M' for Anna Elisabeth Munch (Danish, 1876-1960) and painted circa 1940. This notable Danish Modernist first studied with Karl Jensen (1889) and C. N. Overgaard (1891–1892). She later traveled and studied in Italy and, subsequently, at the Académie Julian under Jean Paul Laurens and Benjamin Constant. After her return to Denmark, Munch became a student of the Impressionist Julius Paulsen (1895-1897) and made her début at the 1898 Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition. Munch became the first Danish woman to receive commissions for large devotional altarpieces and her early subjects were often derived from Nordic and Christian mythology. These themes were also explored in the large fresco commissions she completed after studying fresco with Joakim Skovgaard (1909-10). Munch continued her studies in both France and Italy and also traveled extensively to Sweden and Norway. Together with the writer Sophie Breum, Munch built a house on the island of Funen at the artist's colony of Kerteminde. Munch illustrated several of Breum's books and, through her, was introduced to the women's movement. She furthered her art studies with Fritz Syberg...
