Ron Blumberg
Rob Blumberg was an accomplished artist who painted in a dizzying variety of styles, including Impressionism, Postimpressionism, Surrealism, Futurism, Expressionism and abstraction. Across these distinctive changes that took place throughout his career, his work consistently possessed a vibrant and passionate glow.
Blumberg was born in Reading, Pennsylvania, in 1908. He studied at the National Academy of Design in New York City, the Art Students League of New York and the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris. In 1932, he moved back to New York, where he became a National Academy artist and a member of the Art Students League of New York.
Blumberg moved to California in 1940. In 1950, he opened a prominent private art school in Westwood, Los Angeles. In support of a California statute that granted royalties to artists from profits on resales of their work, he co-founded the grassroots group Artists for Economic Action. As its chairman, he worked closely with state legislators to bring California to the forefront of promoting artists’ rights.
Blumberg’s most prolific period was from 1947 to 1951. Often referred to as his “psychological period,” he delved into many different modernist styles. After 1952, he favored a palette knife over a paintbrush for creating his art. He died in 2002.
Blumberg’s works are part of the permanent collections of major museums, including the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, DC, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

- Field of Flight, oil/board, Cuban-American Artist, Collected by MuseumsBy Reynier LlanesLocated in Houston, TXField of Flight is a 5.5 x 8 " oil painting by Cuban-American artist Reynier Llanes who lives in Miami. It is framed. It is oil painted on a wood panel . Felid of Flight floats in the frame. His background is unique in style , subject matter, and medium. The artist says this about Field of Flight The characters in my paintings emerge from stories and their journeys are inspired by my own experiences and daily routines. My inspiration comes from literature, music, cinema, and daily life. My daily routine enables me to meditate and use my creativity to serve these stories and inspirations. I begin my mornings with sketches and watercolors. This is the time I use to keep inventory of my ideas and to allow them to further inspire me. Many of these characters have been depicted in my work before, whether in a different geographical location or in a different state of their physical evolution. I use a variety of mediums in my work including oils, watercolors, coffee, and charcoal. They are all equally important to me as they allow me full expression, each in its’ own sector. I use a great deal of symbolism in my art to give depth to the subjects that I wish to express. I want my art to tell a story in a manner that stimulates the imaginations of others, especially of things never seen or expressed directly. As an observer it is clear to see that we are all in pursuit of life’s mission of working, loving, and belonging. I begin my paintings by building layers of textures and color values, and then subtly add dimension and depth. Through the use of colors and highlighting I am able to enhance the atmosphere with mood, character, depth and mystery, and bring special attention to my subjects. It is the creative process of using these materials and methods that feed my soul, life, and being. I believe it is our mission as intellectuals to have a voice in our society, for our work to have a footprint in history, and to be a reference for future generations. BIO: Reynier Llanes was born in Pinar del Rio, Cuba in 1985. He attended the city’s school of art (Instructores de Arte) for four years and completed his studies in 2004. Llanes was tutored by one of the country’s most recognized realist artists, Juan Miguel Suárez. In 2005 he moved to Havana where he continued his studies and collaborated with various artists. The capital was a thriving mecca of art and culture and the museums the grounds for inspiration. In 2007 LIanes availed himself of an opportunity to emigrate from Cuba and moved to the United States, first settling in Naples, FL. In Naples he began to introduce his work in a major exhibition entitled “Strange Visitor” at the Kapo Maestro Gallery. In 2009 he relocated to Charleston, SC where he had the honor of being granted an artist in residency at the Jonathan Green Studios. Llanes was awarded a "first purchase award" for a piece now in the art collection of the city of Charleston 2011 at Moja Art Festival Juried Exhibition Award. In 2012 Oxford America recognized him as one of the "New Superstars of Southern Art." The art of Reynier was nourished by the rich southern culture and he began to collaborate with various museums and art centers. His work was featured in a traveling exhibition The Vibrant Vision Collection at the Morris Museum in Augusta, GA and the Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston, SC. Llanes is also an avid art collector in his own right, focusing on works by artists from Cuba, and particularly those from his native province of Pinar del Río. A selection of works from his collection was exhibited at City Gallery in Charleston in 2013 and in the Art Museum in Myrtle Beach in 2015. In 2015 Llanes relocated with his family to Miami in order to take advantage of the city’s international art market and vibrant cultural life and to be closer to his home country. South Florida is, of course, home to a large community of intellectuals, collectors, and fellow artists who have welcomed Llanes into their cosmopolitan scene. His first solo exhibition in Miami took place at Miami Dade College West, this exhibition was entitled “Preserving Cultural Heritage” and it featured a large collection of coffee paintings. In 2017 he met Bill Meek...Category
