About the Item

Women Seated in Garden "Femmos Restant" New Hope Pennsylvania Artist Edna Gass Women Seated in the Garden 'Femmos Restant" by New Hope Artist Edna Gass (American, 1904–1993). Image, 6.75"H 4.75"W Frame, 10'H x 8"W x 1'D Signed "Gass" in the paint lower right and "Femmos Restant" Women waiting or at Women at Rest. "Edna Gass" on Verso American Impressionist Artist New Hope School Edna Gass was a distinguished American Impressionist artist best known for her evocative figural works and her association with the New Hope Art Colony in Pennsylvania during the 1940s. A Philadelphia native, Gass developed a unique artistic voice within the New Hope School, a movement celebrated for its vibrant depictions of local landscapes and expressive, light-filled compositions. Her work is often described as “diminutive Impressionism,” capturing intimate moments with broad, spontaneous brushstrokes and a masterful use of color and light. In addition to traditional painting, Gass explored innovative techniques such as monotype printing—creating one-of-a-kind images by painting on a polished plate and transferring the design to paper. This process added a distinctive texture and depth to her art. Gass’s legacy continues to resonate through her contributions to American Impressionism and her role in shaping the artistic identity of the New Hope School. The New Hope School of Pennsylvania Impressionists is an artistic movement that flourished in the early 20th century in New Hope, Pennsylvania, and was known for its depictions of the local landscape and figurative paintings in the Impressionist style. The painting showcases a focus on capturing light and color, characteristic of Impressionism. The figures are depicted with broad brushstrokes, suggesting a spontaneous and expressive approach, while the landscape provides a vibrant backdrop

Strasburg. Oil on cardboard, Figurative, Architecture, Polish art
By Magdalena Spasowicz
Located in Warsaw, PL
20th century figurative landscape oil on canvas on board painting by Polish artist Magdalena Spasowicz. Artwork is in classic style, it resembles impressionism. Composition is painted with wide brush strokes. Colors are muted. Artwork depicts a cityscape of Strasburg in France. MAGDALENA SPASOWICZ Studied painting under prof. Jan Cybis and graphic arts with prof. Tadeusz Kulisiewicz at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. She received her diploma in 1953. Her works have been presented in numerous exhibitions in Poland and abroad, among others in Warsaw, London, New York, Bratislava, Washington, Moscow, Berlin, Budapest, and are to be found in private and public collections around the world. In 2017 two individual exhibition of the artists took place - at the Regional Museum in Kozienice Palace and at the Museum of Western Mazowsze in Zyrardow. Magdalena Spasowicz has been spending every single moment on painting for many years now. Most of her paintings are monochromatically coloured landscapes, of places where eye cheers soul with a sight close to heart, known and well remembered. French painting of Pissarro and Utrillo has been a very important inspiration for Magdalena Spasowicz. A desire to still-frame every moment when the artist meets Nature and beloved places is an imperative, which obliges to come back to canvas and paint, paint with a total devotion. The artistry of the places represented in the paintings of Magdalena...
