Unidentified
"Symbolist Composition"

XX Century

About the Item

Artist: Unidentified Dimensions: Framed: 51 x 45 cm Artwork: 13 x 9 cm Medium: Oil on board/canvas Period: [Estimate based on style, e.g., Mid-20th Century / Contemporary] Style: Symbolism / Expressionism This captivating oil painting, attributed to an unidentified artist, presents a deeply introspective and evocative scene. Rendered in a rich palette of warm golden hues, the composition features intense, expressive faces gazing toward a crowned infant figure. The masterful interplay of shadow and light lends an almost spiritual or allegorical depth to the piece, evoking themes of wisdom, guardianship, and the passage of time. Executed in a Symbolist or Expressionist manner, the painting exhibits striking similarities to early 20th-century European modernism, reminiscent of the dramatic chiaroscuro and emotionally charged compositions found in the works of Käthe Kollwitz or Franz von Stuck. The close, intimate framing of the figures enhances the work’s meditative quality, making it a profound and thought-provoking addition to any collection. Housed in an elegant silver-tone frame with a deep blue mat, this small-format artwork commands attention despite its modest size, offering collectors and art enthusiasts a unique piece of mysterious and compelling visual storytelling.

The Theory on Jazz History
By Jose Borrell
Located in Atlanta, GA
This painting is in excellent condition and has only been shown in a gallery setting. The painting measures 78" x 35" and 81"x 38" with frame. Known for his hyperrealist nudes and portraits, Jose Borrell captures both the human form and emotions. Transcending beyond mere documentation, Borrell transmits the personality and essence of his subjects. His latest series focuses on twentieth-century American jazz saxophonist Ben Webster, and true to Borrell's signature trait, the paintings transmit the vibrant energy of the acclaimed musician. Born in 1909 in Kansas City, Missouri, Ben Webster studied violin in elementary school and taught himself piano. In 1927-1928 he played for silent movies in Kansas City and in Amarillo, Texas. After a friend introduced him to basic chords on the saxophone, he devoted himself to the instrument and played with many emerging orchestras in the bustling 1930s Kansas City jazz...
