Walter Blackman
Walter Blackman was born in New York in 1847 and died December 13, l928 in Chicago, Illinois. He received his formal training under the hand of Jean-Leon Gerome. Walter Blackman was drawn to Paris's three ateliers that were established at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in 1863, under the direction, respectively, of Gerome Cabanel and Isidore Pils (1813-1875). It was Gerome who was most popular among American painters. His consistency of rigorous academic style and durability as a teacher made him a significant resource for dozens of American students; Thomas Eakins, Fredric Arthur Bridgeman, Edwin Lord Weeks, Kenyon Cox, Julius L. Stewart, Mary Cassat and Walter Blackman. Although Gerome heavily influenced Walter Blackman's style, Alexander Cabanel also influenced him. Walter Blackman's friend, Thomas Hovenden, was studying at the Beaux-Arts studio under Cabanel in 1874-75. It was through this friendship that Blackman became acquainted with Cabanel's techniques. It was the combination of Gerome's journalistic, humanizing approach and Cabanel's more melodramatic style that molded Blackman's final approach to his own painting. Walter Blackman became a member of the Association of American Artists in Paris. Beginning in the 1860's independent studios began to become appealing. Groups of students, like Blackman, began seeking alternatives to continued emphasis on draftsmanship and on classical tradition. They organized two studios, in which Bonnat and Carolus-Duran were visiting critics. These artists also exhibited together and it is recorded that Walter Blackman exhibited "Caught in the Act" in the 1878 exhibit. Before these French exhibitions, Walter Blackman had returned to New York to embark on a career as a painter and poet. Blackman worked extremely hard exhibiting at the National Academy between 1868-1878. Like many other artists during this period, Blackman found it difficult to establish himself in New York. He left New York for London after exhibiting two paintings at the National Academy "Game of Quibbles" Lot #286 and "Signal" Lot #449. Upon his arrival in London, he received an invitation to exhibit at the Royal Academy. Exhibition records in London note that he was actively exhibiting between 1878 and 1895.

Nahum Tschacbasov
Biography :
Russian-American artist Nahum Tschacbasov (1899-1984) is known for his cubo-surrealistic works which feature a strong psychological element. Some of his work bears a resemblance to work of another Russian-American artist--David Burliuk. He was somewhat of a late starter, moving to Paris in 1932 to study under Adolph Gottlieb, Marcel Gromaire and Fernand Leger. He had his first exhibition in Paris in 1934. He then returned to the US where he joined Rothko and Gottlieb at the Galery Seccession. He was one of the co-founders of The Ten, a group of social conscious abstract painters which included Rothko, Gottlieb, Joseph Solman and Ilya Bolotowsky, among others.
In 1944, he began to work at Stanley Hayter's Atelier 17, a center for surrealistic ideas. Between 1936 and 1943, he had five one-man exhibitions at the ACA Galleries and participated in five group shows. He also exhibited at the Whitney, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Knox Albright Museum, the Chicago Institute of Fine Art and Corcoran, among others. His work can be found in the permanent collections of the Met, the Whitney, the Brooklyn Museum and the Jewish Museum.
Tschacbasov has been the subject of two recent retrospective at Fletcher Gallery, Woodstock, NY and Arthur...

Portrait of Mrs Bury Barry - British Edwardian art oil painting
Located in London, GB
This striking British Edwardian oval portrait oil painting is by noted artist Maurice Greiffenhagen. Painted circa 1901 the sitter is Mrs Bury Barry from a landed gentry family. It is a half length portrait which combines Greiffenhagen's skill as a portraitist and his tendencies towards theatricality and romance, in part effectively conveyed by the dramatic lighting, which highlights the sitter's skin revealed by the low neckline of her dress, and the rose which she holds to her chest and which matches the red of her blushing cheeks. The brushwork, detail and colouring are superb. This is a lovely British Edwardian portrait and an excellent example of Greiffenhagen's work.
Signed and inscribed 'MAURICE GREIFFENHAGEN / 2 LONDON RD N.W. / [PORTR]AIT OF MRS BURY BARRY' on the upper stretcher bar,
Provenance. With the Art Exhibitions Bureau, London, label verso.

Maurice William Greiffenhagen, RA, British (1862-1931). Greiffenhagen worked as a painter, illustrator and graphic designer and taught at the Glasgow School of Art from 1906 to 1926. His output was widely varied, ranging from stylised graphic work, to more formal, restrained portraits, and to his somewhat fantastical mythical and allegorical scenes. One of his most celebrated works amongst contemporaries was his sensual and atmospheric 1891 painting...
