About the Item
Signed lower left, 'M. V. Mujica' for Manuel Vicente Mujica (Venezuelan, 1924-2002).
A bright and breezy oil painting of a dark-haired young woman wearing a wide-brimmed, floral hat and seated at a table decorated with a large vase of flowers. A charming and period work by this European-trained Venezuelan Post-Impressionist.
Manuel Mujica first studied at the School of Plastic and Applied Arts under Antonio Edmundo Monsanto and Rafael Ramón González (1939-1942). Over the course of a long and successful career, he exhibited widely and with success including at the Salón Anual de Artistas Independientes held by the Caracas Museo de Bellas Artes (1956-1960), the Institute of Hispanic Culture (Madrid, 1960) and in Barcelona (1967). In 1967, Mujica won a scholarship and stipend which allowed him to return to paint and study in Europe. Later in 1967, he was awarded Barcelona's Real Círculo de Arte Prize. Manuel Mujica's work is held private and public collections including the permanent collections of the Venezuelan National Art Gallery, the National Academy of History in Caracas and the Venezuelan Presidential Residence.
Venezuelan art critic and collector Mayz Lyon has noted that, "two great masters of art have been mentioned for their relationship with Mujica's work: Pierre Bonnard and Marcos Castillo... From Bonnard, he picks up the subtlety and finesse in the use of the finely nuanced colors and from Castillo... his freshness and poetic lyricism".

- 'Mother and Child', Woman Impressionist, Paris, Académie Julian, BenezitLocated in Santa Cruz, CAInitialed 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...Category

- PrintempsBy Charles LevierLocated in Costa Mesa, CAA beautiful woman sits at an open window, gazing down at a small bird who has landed nearby in this serene portrait by Charles Levier. Warm orange tones are played off their complements in shades of blue, the artist utilizing several different layers of oils to create a subtle and relaxed view of a spring day near the sea. Beyond the window a small chapel sits on a peninsula, surrounded tranquil blue waters. This work, like many of Levier's, belongs to the French figurative movement of the Glorious Thirty (Les Trente Glorieuses) - the golden period of thirty years after WWII which were a time of great hope and prosperity in France. Inspired by Hollywood cinema, Charles Levier sought harmony in composition and purity of color and form. His said that his creations represented "a light and delicate world, of dark and subtle shades and colors." Levier worked in a somewhat abstracted, cubist style. Additionally he often employed the French technique of "cloisonnism" (after the French for "partition"), a style of post-Impressionist painting with bold and flat forms separated by dark contours, also seen in this work. The term was coined by critic Edouard Dujardin on the occasion of the Salon des Indépendants, in March 1888 and was commonly used by artists like Émile Bernard, Louis Anquetin, Paul...Category
