Arieh Allweil, born 1901, Galicia. Immigrated to Palestine in1920. Studies: 1921-25 Art Academy, Vienna; Dresden Academy. ALlweil brought with him the high values of the Central European avant-garde, which he had absorbed during his years of study in Vienna. He joined the ‘Kunstschau’ group- of artists that had formed around Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele. He exhibited with them in the 1920’s, and emigrated to Palestine in 1926. He was one of the founders of the Tel Aviv Art Museum and the Midrasha Art Teachers College in Israel. As opposed to other modern Israeli artists in his period, Allweil's woodcuts and illustrations pertained to contemporary events such as the Holocaust and the pioneering spirit before the establishment of the State of Israel. Most notable is this work as well as the first illustrated Passover Haggada for the IDF which he made in 1950 and which was printed for 3 years with his inspirational woodcut illustrations. He published a series of linoleum cuts of Israeli and Biblical subjects and created large scale murals of the Holocaust.

1927 Oil Painting Eiffel Tower Paris American Modernist Wpa Artist Morris Kantor
By Morris Kantor
Located in Surfside, FL
Morris Kantor New York (1896 - 1974)
Paris from the Ile St. Louis, 1927 (view of Eiffel Tower)
Oil painting on canvas
Hand Signed lower left.
Provenance: Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution ( bears label verso)
Size: 20 3/4"H x 28 1/8"W (sight), 28.75 "H x 36"W (framed)
Morris Kantor (Belarusian: Морыс Кантор) (1896-1974) was a Russian Empire-born American painter based in the New York City area.
Born in Minsk on April 15, 1896, Kantor was brought to the United States in 1906 at age 10, in order to join his father who had previously relocated to the states. He made his home in West Nyack, New York for much of his life, and died there in 1974. He produced a prolific and diverse body of work, much of it in the form of paintings, which is distinguished by its stylistic variety over his long career. Perhaps his most widely recognized work is the iconic painting "Baseball At Night", which depicts an early night baseball game played under artificial electric light. Although he is best known for his paintings executed in a realistic manner, over the course of his life he also spent time working in styles such as Cubism and Futurism, and produced a number of abstract or non-figural works. A famous cubist, Futurist, painting of his "Orchestra" brought over 500,000$ at Christie's auction house in 2018
Kantor found employment in the Garment District upon his arrival in New York City, and was not able to begin formal art studies until 1916, when he began courses at the now-defunct Independent School of Art. He studied landscape painting with Homer Boss (1882-1956). In 1928, after returning to New York City from a year in Paris, Kantor developed a style in which he combined Realism with Fantasy, often taking the streets of New York as his subject matter. He did some moody Surrealist Nude paintings and fantasy scenes. In the 1940's he turned towards figural studies. Later in his career, Kantor himself was an instructor at the Cooper Union and also at the Art Students League of New York in the 1940s, and taught many pupils who later became famous artists in their own right, such as Knox Martin, Robert Rauschenberg, Sigmund Abeles and Susan Weil...

Street Musicians Oil on canvas board
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Title: Street Musicians
Artist: Albert Roca i Cama (Palamós, 1945 – 2023)
Technique: Oil on canvas board
Dimensions: 71 x 51 cm (27.95 x 20.08 in)
Support: Canvas board
Signature: Signed in the lower right corner as “214 Roca”
Approximate date: Late 20th – early 21st century
Condition: Very good
Framing: Unframed
Description of the work:
The painting depicts two street musicians in a profoundly expressive scene. In the foreground, a man rests his arm on an accordion, his gaze lost in thought and a contemplative expression on his face, while holding a straw or toothpick between his lips. Behind him, another figure plays a transverse flute with closed eyes, fully immersed in his music. The composition conveys serenity and weariness, presenting an intimate moment imbued with urban lyricism.
The brushwork is loose yet confident, reinforcing the emotional depth of the characters. The color palette blends warm tones with hints of grey and blue, emphasizing the introspective and street-like atmosphere. The overall impression is of a moment suspended in time, where music and life intertwine in the silent dignity of their expressions.
