A large, well executed, figurative work by the artist, depicting a young woman fashionably dressed in a green blouse anddpatterned scarf seated in profile in a muted studio interior. Titled "Portrait of Ms. Anderson, Student at Northwestern U." the painting exemplifies the artist's adept and practiced skill at portraiture, and was completed at the painting class of the artist's friend and instructor, Arnold Turtle, in Evanston, Illinois Artwork size: 30 x 23 inches, oil on canvas, accompanied with the original Modernist frame (Framed size: 33 1/2 x 26 1/2 inches). Signed "Walter Burt Adams" and dated "46" lower right. Provenance: Estate of the artist. Walter Burt Adams was a dedicated painter of the American Scene and a singular personality among his peers in the Chicago Modern Art community. His no-nonsense manner, devotion to his craft and sardonic sense of humor characterize a man whose paintings capture life in and around Chicago between the early 1920s and the late 1970s. Born in Kenosha, Wisconsin just after the turn of the last century, Walter Burt Adams spent his childhood in Fargo, North Dakota and began his artistic education there through a correspondence cartooning class as a boy. After finishing high school in Fargo, Adams moved to Chicago in 1922 in order to enroll at the school of the Art Institute of Chicago. Adams’ instruction at the school with artists such as George Oberteuffer, Frederick V. Poole, Charles Wilimovsky...

Grotesque Expressionist Figural Scene Paris 1946 Symbolist Spanish Oil Painting Artist: Daniel Sabater Salabert Medium: Oil on panel Dimensions: 27 × 35 cm (10.6 × 13.8 in) Signature: Signed lower right Inscription: Paris 1946 (verso) Frame: Unframed Condition: Very good condition. Stable panel and original paint surface with age-appropriate craquelure Origin: Spain / Paris Period: 1946 Striking grotesque expressionist figural composition depicting a group of caricatured characters gathered around an open book filled with coins, executed by Spanish painter Daniel Sabater Salabert and inscribed Paris 1946. The theatrical arrangement suggests a symbolic or moralizing narrative scene, a recurring theme within Sabater’s most personal production associated with psychological satire and fantastical figuration. The exaggerated physiognomies, distorted facial structures and compressed spatial composition reinforce the expressive tension typical of European grotesque painting...

Gian Carozzi Still Life with Cuttlefish 1942 The textural elegance of Mid-century Italian Ligurian Realism This still life with cuttlefish by Gian Carozzi (1942), dating from his early years in La Spezia, depicts two cephalopods against a dark background rendered in earthy tones and fluid brushstrokes, evoking the Ligurian tradition of marine compositions. Oil on panel, in a realist style with an emphasis on texture and natural light, the work reflects his early interest in organic matter, prior to his move to Milan. In 1942, Gian Carozzi took part in the 17th edition of the Littoriali exhibition in Trieste and Vienna. Dilvo Lotti wrote in *Meridiano di Roma* that Carozzi’s work was one of the revelations of the exhibition. Also in 1942, he took part in the 1st National Art Exhibition celebrating agriculture, fruit, flowers and animals in Verona – Verona Prize. The work, signed and dated by the artist, was exhibited at the 1942 Littoriali, highlighting his involvement in the Fascist art...
