About the Item

Oil on canvas, signed and dated 1959 35” x 35” Morton Dimondstein was born in New York in 1920 and at the age of seventeen, studied art at the American Artists School and then at the Art Students League in that city, having Harvey Sternberg, Kimon Nicolaides and Anton Refregier as his teachers. He served in the U.S. forces during World War II with the 387th Field Artillery Battalion and following the end of the conflict and his return to America, he moved to Los Angeles. He undertook further artistic instruction at the Otis Art Institute and became significantly influenced by Mexican murals, so much so that he was inspired to move to Mexico City where he remained for several years. In Mexico City, he studied further under the major Mexican painters José Gutierrez and David Alfonso Siqueiros at the Instituto Politecnico Nacional concentrating in particular on woodcuts. He also worked for UNESCO while based there. By 1953, he had returned to Los Angeles and was working as the Arts editor of the California Quarterly until 1956. He also had a brief tenure at the advertising firm Saul Bass who utilised his woodcuts and design skills for book illustrations and jacket covers as well as a few campaigns for Hollywood films. He is also believed to have produced some covers for Penguin Classics including "The Real Life of Sebastian Knight" and "Laughter in the Dark" by Nabokov. He forsook the deadline commercial world however to return to painting as well as teaching. He taught at the New School of Art, the University of Southern California and Kann Art Institute. His own work, distributed through small galleries and in stores in Los Angeles, were affordably priced and sold well. He is credited with being the first to produce serigraphic prints on the West Coast. Dimondstein moved to Italy with his family in 1960, remaining there for four years and it was while he was there that he became increasingly beguiled by sculpting and started to produce bronze allegorical figures and nudes which he had first formed in wax. Later, he turned to using wood and polyester as sculpture forms.

The Chemist

Located in Wiscasett, ME

Oil on canvas, signed in the lower right. Measures 36" x 41" including the frame. Johann Georg Meyer Von Bremen (German 1813-1886) was a genre painter. He was the son of master baker Johann Georg Meyer. His mother was strictly religious. From 1833 he studied at the Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Arts , which was led since 1826 by Friedrich Wilhelm von Schadow, the son of the sculptor Johann Gottfried Schadow.

On his travels to Brussels and Antwerp Meyer experienced the works of Peter Paul Rubens and Anthonis van Dyck. In 1851 he married the singer Julia Beer...
