Vintage Aladdin and The Lamp with Dragon and Cats
Located in Soquel, CA
A highly detailed India ink drawing with watercolor and Gouache. Each intricate circle and line is hand drawn to create a matrix within which the artist colors the scene to a fine realistic conclusion.

Joseph Nechvatal The Oedipal God of Oil Paint and Destruction, Diptych Oil and screenprint on two canvases, 1985, both signed 'Joseph Nechvatal', titled and dated on the reverse, with label from Brooke Alexander, NY. Joseph James Nechvatal (born 15 January 1951) is a post-conceptual digital artist and art theoretician who creates computer-assisted paintings and computer animations, often using custom-created computer viruses. Joseph Nechvatal was born in Chicago. He studied fine art and philosophy at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Cornell University and Columbia University, where he studied with Arthur Danto while serving as the archivist to the minimalist composer La Monte Young. From 1979, he exhibited his work in New York City, primarily at Galerie Richard, Brooke Alexander Gallery and Universal Concepts Unlimited. He has also solo exhibited in Berlin, Paris, Chicago, Cologne, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Aalst, Belgium, Youngstown, Senouillac, Lund, Toulouse, Turin, Arles and Munich.

During that period he was associated with the artist group Colab and helped establish the non-profit cultural space ABC No Rio. In 1983 he co-founded the avant-garde electronic art music audio project Tellus Audio Cassette...

20th C View in Paris, Place de la Concorde, people by the Fontaine des Mers
Located in Woodbury, CT
M. Leveque (French, 20th Century) Place de la Concorde, Paris Oil on canvas, circa 1980 25 x 28 inches (framed) This vibrant view of the Place de la Concorde in Paris captures the bustling life and atmosphere of one of the city’s most celebrated landmarks. At the centre is the magnificent Fontaine des Mers, its cascades rendered with lively brushwork, while beyond rises the monumental Luxor Obelisk, a gift from Egypt in the 1830s that remains a defining feature of the square. The architectural backdrop of the Hôtel de Crillon and the Hôtel de la Marine situates the scene firmly within the grandeur of Paris’s historic heart. Painted with broad, impressionistic strokes, the artist animates the square with colourful figures in motion, their bright coats enlivening the composition and evoking the vibrancy of Parisian life. The fluid handling of paint and expressive use of colour are hallmarks of M. Leveque, a painter of mid- to late-20th century Paris street scenes...
