Hiro Yokose
Hiro Yokose is a Japanese modern & contemporary painter who was born in 1951. Yokose fuses multiple layers of wax and oil paint to create mysterious, veiled landscapes illuminated with flashes of light in the sky and on the water. His works are imagined, dream shrouded landscapes that impart the viewer with a sense of contemplation and stillness. His technique involves a unique layering of beeswax and oil paint giving the work a rich sense of depth, texture and luminosity. Yokose’s painting style evokes a traditional Japanese painting aesthetic of delicate, lyrical greens, browns and blues, yet the atmospheric works possess their own sense of serenity and a postmodernist balance between painterly abstraction and representation. His newest work is punctuated with warm golden casts of light to elicit pure and tranquil moments of luminosity and space.
Yokose often paints a low horizon line in his compositions, illuminating the rest of the canvas with Turneresque skies and quiet, misty landscapes. In this way, his work hovers between a Zen-like minimalist abstraction and a traditional landscape. Playing with the viewer’s perception, Yokose’s sensual works invite engagement in a simultaneous experience of recognition and mystery. Hiro Yokose’s work is included in many public collections, among them is the San Jose Museum of Art, Harvard University at Cambridge, Goldman Sachs and Co. in San Francisco, Microsoft in Redmond, Boeing Corporation in Chicago, TransAmerica Corporation in San Francisco, Prudential in New York, Exxon Corporation in Texas; Fidelity Investments in Boston, Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, the Ritz Carlton in Washington, D.C. and Citibank in New York.

- View of the Bergsee - Oil on Canvas by Josef Brunner - Mid 19th CenturyBy Josef BrunnerLocated in Roma, ITView of the Bergsee is an original modern artwork realized by the Austrian artist and painter Josef Brunner in the middle of the XIX Century. Original Oil painting on Canvas cm. 72 x 3 x 102 (canvas). A beautiful original XIX Century decorated frame is included (total dimensions: 100 x 5 x 130). Both the work and the canvas are in very good conditions. Beautiful and intense oil painting depicting the Austrian mountain lake Bergsee. The painting is characterized by a particular play between lights and shadows: the light indeed is distributed in an extremely suffused but homogeneous way on the view but it is also able to create that sense of magic that characterized the whole landscape. The color of the lake therefore assumes a transparency and an iridescent blue that tends to the green and reflects the color of the surrounding mountains. The sky appears full of rainy clouds but they still allow the rays of the last sun to shine on. The general vision conveys calm and tranquility thanks also to the refined use of color and the play of lights and shadows, the turquoise and the pale opaque blue of the lake is perfectly emphasized by the various green tones of the trees. The white, gray and light brown rocky mountains embrace the lake and the cloudy sky in shades of blue increases the feeling of tranquility. The landscape is desolate; the only signs of life are the three fishermen on the shore: they are three small figures painted in different poses and illuminated by the light too. The surface of the water reflects in a spectacular way the surrounding landscape, it is similar to the surface of a mirror. The style, fantastic and almost dreamy, is into the full Germanic Romanticism. Mindful of Caspar David Friedrich's memoirs (Greifswald, 1774 - Dresda, 1840), the author certainly took his cue from the style of the German and the Austrian Romanticism; tangible signs of Romantic painting are the choice of the subject, an uncontaminated Nordic landscape, and the almost fairytale atmosphere that we find in the composition. This wonderful Romantic painting was created by the Austrian artist Josef Brunner (Wien, 1826 - Wien, 1893). Joseph Brunner was the son of Joseph...Category

Boot was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists and of the Arts Club, who listed him as a "painter and writer on Gothic architecture". Boot also painted domestic genre and interior scenes but tended to concentrate on landscapes. Boot lived and married in London. He is buried with his wife in Hampstead. The subject of this painting, Kirkstall Abbey in Yorkshire, was a place Boot often visited.
