About the Item

Charming turn-of-20th Century interior painting that takes the viewer back to simpler times with grandmother, grandfather, mother sewing and a young girl playing with her greyhound and doll around the hearth. Titled "The Family Hearth" 1902 by Charles Everett Johnson (American, 1866-c.1957) Signed lower right with gallery label on verso. Image size: 22"H x 28"W. Presented in rustic gilt-toned ornate frame of period. Framed size: 31"H x 37"W x 4"D. Painter, a commercial artist. Born in Gilroy, CA on Dec. 7, 1866. Johnson studied in Paris with Richard Miller (1909-13) followed by study at the AIC. He remained in Chicago for several years and was the art director for the Lord & Thomas Advertising Agency. By 1925 he had returned to southern California and established a home in Altadena and a freelance studio in Los Angeles. He taught advertising art at Chouinard Art School and was active in Los Angeles until the early 1940s. AAA 1909-31; CA&A. Many artists apprenticed under Charles Everett Johnson including Haddon Hubbard Sundblon. "Undoubtedly, the most influential magazine advertisements were those produced or supervised by Charles Everett Johnson. A native California born in Gilroy in 1866, Johnson received his formal art education in Paris with Richard Miller, and at the Chicago Art Institute. In 1913, while working as an art director for the Lord and Thomas Advertising Agency, he was put in charge of the Sunkist account. Within a few years, this advertising campaign was a national success. From the 1920s to the 1940's he operated a freelance studio in Los Angeles, where he produced many paintings which first appeared as Sunkist magazine ads and then became label images. Sunny Cove is an example of the style he was known for." Mantle Fieldings Dictionary of American Painters

By Joseph Tomanek
Located in Soquel, CA
Woman with Two Children in Red - Interior Scene in Oil on Canvas Lovely interior scene by notable artist Joseph Tomanek (Cech-American, 1889-1974). A woman sits near a window, holding a small child dressed in bright red in her lap. Another child, somewhat older, stands next to her, looking at the young child. Soft lights spills though the window, illuminating the scene in a warm glow. A plant with red flowers sits on the windowsill, and foliage can be seen outside. Signed "Tomanek" in the lower right corner (note that the shape above the signature is a toy train) Presented in a carved wood frame with a linen liner. Frame size: 30.75"H x 26.75"W Canvas size: 24"H x 20"W Tomanek, the son of a carpenter, was born in Moravia. His family discouraged his art talent and wanted him to be a shoemaker. He studied in his homeland of Czechoslovakia at the School of Design in Prague. He emigrated to America around the turn of the century and arrived in Chicago in 1910 and worked as an interior decorator. He attended the Art Institute of Chicago and studied with Antonin Sterba. He also studied with Albert Krehbiel and K.A. Buehr. He was a member of the Bohemian Artist Club, Association of Chicago Painters, and Sculptors, and the Chicago Gallery Association. His work is included in the collection of the Vanderpoel Art Association (Chicago). He exhibited from the 1910s-40s, including exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Georgia Museum of Art. Of the difficulty of posing nudes in Chicago, he said, "In Paris you can rent little gardens studios and pose your models there in privacy.

Antique Swedish Oil Canvas Painting Romantic Interior Family Scene Monkey 1883
Located in Portland, OR
A fine & large antique oil on canvas painting by Bengt Nordenberg (1822-1902), Sweden, dated 1883. Nordenberg is recognized as one of Sweden's most celebrated 19th century artists, his work epitomizes Swedish Romanticism and this painting is a wonderful representation of that style. The painting depicts an interior scene of a mother holding an infant in front of an open heath, with a fire burning in the grate, above the fire there are racks of meat hanging and above that are hams hanging. The infant has evidently just woken from a nap and his cradle sits next to his mother's chair, his brother sitting on the floor with his monkey & the carrying case he transports the animal to beg for money, the monkey humorously sits with his begging plate outstretched to the boy's mother, much to her consternation! The painting is signed and dated lower left, it is in very good condition and is housed in the original gilded composition and limewood frame, Nordenberg's record for a painting at auction is over $91,500, this is a fine example of the artist's work and is ready to hang on your wall. Bloomsbury Fine Art & Antiques ship globally, very well packed & insured to ensure safe delivery. Bengt Nordenberg (1822-1902) was a master of Swedish Romanticism.
