Drying Nets - Mont Saint Pierre
Located in Fort Washington, PA
Signature: Signed Lower Right
Framed Dimensions: 25" X 29 1/4"
Drying Nets - Mont Saint Pierre is an antique 1930s signed oil on canvas painting by the important American artist and illustrator John Clymer, signed lower right and titled on the back stretcher bar in the artist's hand. The work is a fine American impressionist painting with dazzling impasto work, particularly on the nets being hoisted and the frothing sea. Showing a rugged scene of two fishermen on the coast of the St Lawrence river in New Brunswick Canada, this appears to date to the 1930s when the artist resided in Connecticut. The painting is housed in a fabulous and original-to-the-painting American Arts & Crafts aesthetic Plein Air carved gold frame.

A Young Girl Reading a Book, Pointillist Artist
Located in Stockholm, SE
"A Young Girl Reading a Book" is a captivating portrait by Swedish artist Gustaf Arnolds.
Arnolds was a prolific painter whose roots began in Vingåker and later in Ronneby from his teenage years.
His educational journey in art took him through prestigious institutions such as Althins målarskola and the Tallbergska grafikskolan in Stockholm,
followed by a significant period at the Konstakademien, Stockholm, between 1904 and 1909. His talent and dedication were recognized early on, earning him a scholarship to Paris, a city that would deeply influence his artistic direction.
This particular work, likely painted shortly after his return to Sweden, reveals a profound influence from his time in Paris. It portrays a young girl absorbed in reading a book, a simple yet profound subject that Arnolds imbues with a sense of tranquility and introspection. The background hints at a serene landscape, dotted with quaint houses, a nod to the everyday beauty surrounding us. What sets this piece apart is Arnolds’ technique, reminiscent of pointillism but distinguished by longer, more expressive brush strokes that add a vibrant texture and depth to the canvas. This method showcases Arnolds' unique adaptation of the techniques he encountered during his Parisian studies, particularly during his interactions with Nils Dardel...

Located in New York, NY
Glassblowers WPA American Scene Mid- 20th Century Modern Figurative Workers. Dated and signed "32 Harry Gottlieb" lower right. Sight: 13 1/8" H x 18 1/4" W.
Harry Gottlieb, painter, screenprinter, educator, and lithographer, was born in Bucharest, Rumania. He emigrated to America in 1907, and his family settled in Minneapolis. From 1915 to 1917, Gottlieb attended the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. After a short stint as an illustrator for the U.S. Navy, Gottlieb moved to New York City; he became a scenic and costume designer for Eugene O"Neill's Provincetown Theater Group. He also studied at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts and the National Academy of Design.
He was one of America's first Social Realist painters, influenced by that Robert Henri-led movement in New York City where Gottlieb settled in 1918. He was also a pioneer in screen printing, which he learned while working for the WPA. He married Eugenie Gershoy, and the couple joined the artist colony at Woodstock, New York. He lectured widely on art education.
In 1923, Gottlieb settled in Woodstock, New York and in 1931, spent a a year abroad studying under a Guggenheim Fellowship.
In 1935, he joined the Federal Art Project...

Impressionist mid 20th century view of Trafalgar Square, Nelsons Column London
Located in Woodbury, CT
Pietro Sansalvadore was active during the early to middle of the 20th century.
He painted in an Impressionist manner and on a small scale.
Acquiring a late 19th-century Impressionist painting of Hammersmith Bridge by the Italian painter Pietro Sansalvadore is an opportunity to own a captivating piece of art that transcends both time and cultural boundaries. Sansalvadore's unique perspective, influenced by the Impressionist movement, infuses this painting with a luminous quality that captures the atmospheric essence of Hammersmith Bridge in a way that only a skilled artist with an international perspective could achieve.
This masterpiece not only showcases the artist's mastery in capturing light and movement but also represents a harmonious fusion of Italian artistic sensibilities with the iconic English landmark. The play of colors and the subtle brushstrokes transport the viewer to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the allure and dynamism of that period.
