About the Item
Fact: There is no one alive today who can paint and draw as good as Dean Cornwell. Why? It takes a lifetime of training, work and commitment to be a great academic artist. Unfortunately, the artistic skills Cornwell learned and perfected are almost non-existent in today's art training. Hence, most contemporary art is rehashed 5th generation abstract painting, poorly conceived concept art, naive art. finger painting type art or plagiarist art. Couple on Rocks is executed in a post-impressionist style but has the underpinnings of sound academic knowledge. Notice how structurally sound his figures are. Dean Cornwell was Norman Rockwell's favorite illustrator.

- A Chinese Company playing DroughtsLocated in Amsterdam, NLERWIN BINDEWALD (1897-1950) Two men playing draughts, a girl with the red book standing behind them Signed and dated E. Bindewald d.j., 27 Oil on canvas, 140.5 x 90.5 cm In black and gilt gesso frame. Note: Bindewald was born in Charlottenburg. He moved to Berlin in 1914 where he studied till 1924 at the Berliner Kunst Akademie. Bindewald travelled in Europe, but mainly stayed in Germany and certainly never was in China. This painting was made in Europe, presumably in the China Town of Berlin. Bindewald received several commisions in Germany from factory owners who wanted their factories painted inside, usually with workers, as well as outside. In the present painting the sitter on the right seems to be a man with a Manchurian background, wearing the brown coat reserved for the highest aristocracy in China. In China the black sleeve-ends completely cover the hands, indicating that the high aristocracy does not have to do any manuel labour. This man clearly is not a factory worker but he possibly is the (co)- owner of the factory in the background and as such might need his hands to do at least some writing. The man on the left in the modern Western suit...Category
