"Artist at Work" - Portrait of the Artist in Oil on Canvas
Figurative painting of an artist at work by Christine Chatwell (American, 20th Century). Presented in a blue wooden frame. Signed "Christine Chatwell" lower left. Titled "Artist at Work" on verso. Image: 20"H x 16"W. Framed: 24.5"H x 20.5"W. In an artist-painted wood frame.
Christine Chatwell began her study of painting in the late 1970's at the Fort Mason Art Center in San Francisco. She studied the art of portraiture and continues to enjoy painting portraits of people and animals. One of her primary influences was the German Expressionist style of painting, especially that of August Macke, and Vassily Kandinsky. She is excited and fascinated by their use of abstraction, intense color, and simplified forms. These qualities are predominant in her paintings. Ms. Chatwell's style is essentially that of 'abstract colorist.'
Fauve painters such as Andre Derain, Henri Manguin, and Albert Marquet also influenced the artist. She is attracted to their boldness and non-conformity, which is reflected in their use of strong light, high key, saturated color, and thick impasto. Ms. Chatwell frequently paints nocturnal scenes in which the center of interest is a small area of light, expressing her experience of a higher power, always available to guide one out of danger and despair. She was influenced by Whistler's style of nocturnal painting.
In the 1990's Ms. Chatwell studied with master painter, Michael Linstrom, who encouraged her to trust and follow her intuitive style of painting from the inside out, thus affirming her deep love of self expression. She and Mr. Linstrom now often exhibit their paintings together.
The artist spends a few weeks in Paris every year. She paints Parisian street scenes and interiors to express her love of the ambiance and architecture of the city. She particularly enjoys painting scenes in which people are depicted doing ordinary, everyday activities.
Ms. Chatwell loves the process of painting so much that she spends every spare minute at the easel. She becomes absorbed to such a degree that she loses track of time and often paints for hours without once leaving the studio. While performing the necessary chores and tasks of daily living, she is calculating the amount of time that will elapse before she can to return to her beloved passion.

"Artist Painting Still Life" Expressionistic Style Oil Painting on Canvas
By Michael Baxte
Located in New York, NY
A strong modernist oil painting depicted in the Mid Centruy by Russian painter Michael Baxte. Mostly known for his abstracted figures on canvas or street scenes, this piece is a wonderful representation of his interior scenes with expressive use of color, shape, and form. Later in his career, Baxte explores Expressionism, infusing both European and North American stylistic trends.
This painting measures 32 x 25.5 inches
Michael Posner Baxte was born in 1890 in the small town of Staroselje Belarus, Russia. For the first half of the 19th century, it was a center of the Chabad movement of Hasidic Jews, but this group was gone by the middle of the 19th century. By the time the Baxte family immigrated to the United States at the beginning of the 20th century, the Jewish population numbered only on the hundreds. The native language of the Baxte family was Yiddish. It is likely that the death of Michael Baxte’s father triggered the family’s immigration. Three older brothers arrived in New York between 1903 and 1905. Michael and his mother, Rebecca, arrived in 1907. By 1910 Michael, his mother, and brother, Joseph, were living in New Orleans and may have spent some time on a Louisiana plantation...
