About the Item

Artist: Oleg Kateryniuk Work: Original oil painting, handmade artwork, one of a kind Medium: Oil on Canvas Year: 2023 Style: Contemporary Art Title: Apple Rescue Size: 31.5" x 48" x 1'' inch, ( 81x122x3 cm) Unframed, Stretched on Wooden Bar, Gallery Wrapped, Ready to Hang "Apple Savior" is a haunting and emotive oil painting that commands attention and stirs deep emotions within its viewers. Dominating the canvas is a poignant portrait of a Cossack and a young girl, both naked and covered in scars that bear the weight of a sorrowful history. Each scar tells a story of immense suffering, representing the cities where innocent civilians lost their lives at the hands of Russian invaders on Ukrainian soil. The composition draws the eye to the Cossack and the girl, who stand side by side, their intertwined bodies conveying a sense of unity and shared grief. Despite their vulnerability, their gazes exude determination, as if they are steadfastly holding on to their memories and the pain they have endured. The scars, etched into their flesh, appear to seep blood, symbolizing the ongoing wounds inflicted upon the land and its people. In a poignant and paradoxical gesture, the Cossack and the girl each hold a fragile apple tree in their hands. The apple tree, a symbol of life and hope, stands in stark contrast to the harsh reality of violence and suffering depicted in the painting. It represents the resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of unspeakable atrocities, and the desire for growth and renewal amidst the desolation. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of profound drama and emotional intensity. The artist masterfully uses a chiaroscuro technique, with shadows and highlights creating a stark contrast that enhances the gravity of the subject matter. The use of bold and somber colors adds to the painting's raw emotional impact, evoking a sense of sorrow, anger, and perhaps a glimmer of hope. "Apple Savior" serves as a powerful commentary on the indomitable human spirit and the devastating consequences of war and conflict on civilian lives. Through this arresting portrayal of suffering and resilience, the painting urges its viewers to confront the dark chapters of history and to strive for a more compassionate and peaceful world. It is a testament to the enduring power of art to bear witness to the human experience, no matter how painful or challenging it may be. * CONDITION: we tried to convey the maximum information with the help of photos about this product About the artist: Oleg Kateryniuk was born in 1969 in Ukraine.. has made a successful career as a graphic designer.. But, over the years we become more sensitive to people, to nature, to the environment, to everything around us. So something happened, noticed, interested you and sits in you, with its emotions, feelings, its truth and philosophy.. no-no, it does not bother you, just sometimes, as if talking to you, tells your story, pulls your strings souls, and are forced to flee in search of something new, still unnoticed, and very, as it seems at this time, so necessary.. and not only you.. And in such moments you take a pencil, brushes and everything at hand.. and you draw.. being left alone with canvas or paper and your thoughts..

  • Impressionist Painting of a Bohemian Woman Budapest 1925 Bertha De Hellebranth
    Located in Rochester, NY
    Bohemian woman Budapest, Hungary 1925 by Bertha De Hellebranth. Fabulous period painting brings to life the bohemian intelligentsia of Europe in the 1920's. I believe the painting is of the artists sister Elena Maria De Hellebranth. Both sisters were accomplished artist and worked and exhibited together. See the photo of the sisters Elena on the left and Bertha on the right. Oil on canvas. In a period frame. Signed lower right. Inscribed on reverse. Provenance: label from Newman Galleries Philadelphia. BIOGRAPHY ; Bertha de Hellebranth and her sister Elena were born into a cultured upper-class family in Budapest, Bertha in 1899, Elena in 1897. Their father was a lawyer and their mother a student of Franz Liszt's last living pupil. Both sisters showed artistic potential early, beginning to paint at four or five years of age. Their parents encouraged them, and had the means to send them to the best art schools of the time. They studied at the Academy of Fine Art in Budapest, at the Académie Julian and the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris, and painted portraits of European nobility. As Patricia Fazekas points out, "Growing up in a family of privilege, they seemed to have unusual access to many illustrious people." So we should not be surprised to find among their subjects members of high society, such as Count Andrássy Gyula, the Russian-born Princess Baby Galitzine, and Admiral Horthy Miklós, the Regent. Later on, their subjects included American heiress Gladys Vanderbilt (Countess László Széchenyi), President Theodore Roosevelt's granddaughter Paulina Longworth and former President Dwight D. Eisenhower.Often, the sisters would paint the same subject at the same time, offering the sitter a choice of portraits. Most often, the sitter wanted both renditions.While Elena concentrated on working in oil and watercolor, Bertha used gouache and oil to achieve her effects. Elena gave lectures and workshops, was a writer and also wrote popular and ecclesiastical music, while Bertha also went in for sculpture and handicrafts.From the mid-thirties until World War II, Bertha and Elena divided their time between their home in Budapest and a home on the ocean at Ventnor, NJ. In 1925, they showed their work at the Nemzeti Szalon in Budapest, and in 1926, they had a joint exhibition of their portraits in the US. Both exhibited their work at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and most major museums and galleries in the US. Bertha also had exhibits at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Both Bertha and Elena were Fellows of the Royal Society of Art (London), and garnered numerous prizes. Bertha was awarded First Prize by the National Academy of the American Water Color Society one year, and the Grand Prize of the Audubon Society. She was one of the founders of the now defunct World League of Hungarian Artists Abroad (Külföldi Magyar Képz?m?vészek Világszövetsége), and received a Gold Medal from the Cleveland Árpád Akadémia in 1963. (Elena also received the Akadémia's gold medal in 1965.) Their work is found in museums and galleries too numerous to mention.The de Hellebranth sisters were devout Catholics, and this is evident in their many portraits of clerics...
