Luminous Mediterranean View of Sitges Church with Palms and Flowers oil painting

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Luminous Mediterranean View of Sitges Church with Palms and Flowers Artist: López-Valle Title: View of Sitges, Church of Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla Medium: Oil on canvas Period: circa 1970–1979 Signature: Signed lower left Artwork dimensions: 19 × 24 cm / 7.48 × 9.45 in Framed dimensions: 33 × 38 cm / 12.99 × 14.96 in Frame: Decorative frame included Provenance: López-Valle oil paintings exhibition, documented on the reverse with original exhibition card dated 1979 Condition: Very good overall condition. Stable paint surface. Minor age-related wear to the frame, consistent with age. Ready to hang. DESCRIPTION A charming and luminous Mediterranean oil painting depicting the iconic Church of Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla in Sitges, one of the most recognizable architectural landmarks of the Catalan coast. The composition captures the church from a highly desirable viewpoint, framed by tall palm trees, lush Mediterranean vegetation and a vivid foreground of red flowers. The result is a small but visually rich painting with strong decorative presence, full of coastal light, architectural character and warm Mediterranean atmosphere. The artist uses a loose, expressive brushstroke and a bright palette of turquoise blues, sandy ochres, fresh greens and floral reds. The impasto in the sky, church façade and garden areas gives the surface a lively texture, while the diagonal path leads the viewer naturally toward the historic church and its bell tower. This is exactly the kind of Mediterranean coastal subject that performs well with international collectors: intimate scale, recognizable location, architectural charm, palm trees, flowers, sunlight and Spanish post-impressionist atmosphere. A little Sitges jewel, basically the painting equivalent of a terrace table with sea breeze and no tourist asking where the beach is. The original exhibition card preserved on the reverse, dated 1979, documents the work’s presence in an oil paintings exhibition dedicated to López-Valle, adding period context and collectible appeal. Its modest size makes it especially suitable for interiors, gallery walls, Mediterranean-style decoration, coastal homes, libraries, bedrooms or refined small spaces where a luminous European landscape can act as a concentrated window of light. European art with a Mediterranean soul. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY López-Valle was a Spanish painter active in the second half of the 20th century, particularly associated with traditional oil painting and Mediterranean subjects. His work reflects the enduring appeal of Spanish coastal landscape painting, combining architectural views, garden settings and luminous color with a direct, post-impressionist handling of paint. This painting is especially interesting because the original exhibition card on the reverse places the artist within a documented exhibition context in 1979, confirming that his works circulated publicly during the period. López-Valle’s paintings are appreciated for their decorative quality, approachable scale and ability to capture recognizable Spanish places with freshness, color and atmosphere. ARTISTIC CONTEXT / PICTORIAL INSPIRATION This work belongs to the tradition of Catalan and Spanish Mediterranean landscape painting, a school deeply connected to light, coastal architecture, gardens, palm trees and open-air observation. Its luminous handling of color and its decorative view of Sitges recall the atmosphere sought by collectors of artists such as Santiago Rusiñol, Eliseu Meifrèn, Joaquim Mir and Josep Amat, painters who helped define the poetic and chromatic identity of the Catalan coastline. While López-Valle maintains his own modest and direct pictorial language, the painting clearly participates in that same Mediterranean lineage: sunlit architecture, garden foreground, loose brushwork, atmospheric blue sky and an elegant sense of place. This makes the piece attractive not only as a view of Sitges, but also as part of the broader collecting category of Spanish impressionist and post-impressionist coastal painting.

Paris Café Terrace Scene Oil Painting European Post-Impressionist Figurative Art

Paris Café Terrace Scene Oil Painting European Post-Impressionist Figurative Art

By ANGEL BADIA CAMPS

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Title: Paris Café Terrace Scene Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 38 × 46 cm (14.96 × 18.11 in) Framing: Unframed Signature: Hand-signed lower right Period: Second half of the 20th century Condition: Very good. Firm canvas, stable paint layer, visible impasto, no apparent restorations. Origin: Spain Original oil painting depicting a lively Parisian café terrace scene, rendered with a luminous and expressive brushstroke. The composition captures a moment of everyday urban life: seated figures, soft conversation, café signage and filtered daylight dissolving into architectural shadows. The artist prioritizes atmosphere over strict detail, allowing the scene to breathe through fluid impasto and subtle tonal transitions. The chromatic palette balances cool bluish greys and whites with warmer accents, creating depth and visual rhythm. The treatment of figures and light evokes European post-impressionist tradition, combining figurative clarity with painterly spontaneity. A refined decorative piece with strong interior presence, ideal for collectors of European figurative art, lovers of Parisian imagery, or elegant contemporary interiors seeking warmth and narrative. Àngel Badia i Camps (Puig-reig, Barcelona, 1929 – Barcelona, 2019) was a Catalan painter, illustrator and comic artist trained at the Barcelona School of Fine Arts. During the 1950s and 1960s he worked extensively as an illustrator for European and British publishers, developing a strong command of the human figure and narrative composition. From the 1970s onward he focused primarily on fine art painting, producing figurative works centered on urban scenes, landscapes and everyday life. His work was exhibited in Spanish and international galleries, consolidating his position within the Catalan figurative tradition of the second half of the 20th century. Paris café painting...

Erie Shore, Large Abstract Expressionist Mid-Century Modern geometric work

By Richard Andres

Located in Beachwood, OH

Richard Andres (American, 1927-2013) Erie Shore, c. 1975 acrylic on canvas signed lower right, signed and titled verso 50 x 72 inches Richard Andres was born in Buffalo, New York in 1927. A graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1950, he was immediately drafted and served for two years in the army as a mural painter. He received his Master of Arts from Kent State in 1961. A frequent exhibitor at galleries and museums and winner of multiple May Show prizes, Andres taught art in the Cleveland Public Schools for 28 years, as well as teaching the University of Buffalo, the Cleveland Institute of Art and the Western Reserve University. Very little in Richard Andres’ childhood would have predicted his love of classical music, mid-century-modern architecture and certainly not his lifelong passion for art and in particular abstract art. Richard’s father, Raymond, had no more than a third-grade education, and his mother, Clara, was one of thirteen children – only three of whom lived into adulthood and none of whom attended high school. They lived, when Richard was a boy, in a dingy area of Buffalo, NY in a walk-up apartment situated above a tavern. Raymond and Clara supplemented the income from their factory jobs in the bar downstairs with Raymond playing ragtime on the piano and Clara serving drinks. This often left Richard and his two older brothers at home alone to fend for themselves. The two older boys, Raymond and Russell, were - unlike Richard- rather rough and tumble and entertained themselves with stickball, boxing and the like. Richard, on the other hand, from a very young age liked to draw, or better yet even, to paint with the small set of watercolors he received for Christmas one year. Paper, however, at the height of the depression, was hard to come by. Luckily, Clara used paper doilies as decoration for the apartment and Richard would contentedly paint and then cut up doilies, gluing the pieces together to create collages. At eight-years-old, he discovered the Albright-Knox Museum (then known as the Albright Art Gallery) and spent several hours a week there studying the paintings. He was particularly fond of Charles Burchfield‘s landscapes, enamored with their ‘messiness’ and thinking that they somehow captured more ‘feeling’ than works he was previously familiar with. For his tenth Christmas, he asked for and received a ‘how-to’ paint book by Elliot O’Hare. Through this self-teaching, he assembled the portfolio needed for acceptance to Buffalo Technical High School where he studied Advertising Arts. In his Junior year, he was encouraged to enter a watercolor painting, “Two Barns,” in the national 1944-45 Ingersoll Art Award Contest and was one of twelve grand prize winners – each one winning one hundred dollars. More importantly the painting was exhibited at the Carnegie Institute Galleries, which resulted in his winning a national scholarship to the Cleveland School of Art (The Cleveland Art Institute). He flourished at the art school under the tutelage of faculty members such as Carl Gaertner, as well as that of visiting artists such as William Sommer and Henry George Keller. He would say in later years that Gaertner, in particular, influenced his attitude toward life as well as art. “Gaertner,” Andres said, “believed that there was no need to be a ‘tortured artist’, that an artist should rather enjoy beauty, family, and life in general.” Free to spend his days as he chose, he wandered the Cleveland Art Museum for most of the hours he was not attending classes or painting; the remaining time was spent drinking coffee at a local hangout with art school friends – which is where he met fellow Henry Keller scholarship winner, Avis Johnson. Richard was immediately smitten with Avis, but being rather shy, it took him the entire summer of 1948 to build up his courage to ask her out. Over that summer he ‘thought about Avis’ and worked in a diner to save money. He also used the hundred-dollar prize money won in High School to visit the first Max Beckmann retrospective in the United States at the City Art Museum in St. Louis. Over a half century later he spoke of that exhibit with a reverence usually reserved for spiritual matters, “I walked in and it was like nothing I had ever seen before... the color...It just glowed.” Returning to campus in the Fall, the first thing he did was go to the coffee shop in hopes of finding Avis. He did, and she, upon seeing him, realized that she was also smitten with him. They quickly became known as ‘the couple’ on campus, and a year later, with Richard being drafted for the Korean war, they were quickly married by a Justice of the Peace, celebrating after with family at Avis’s Cleveland home. As a gift, faculty member John Paul Miller...

Large American Modernist Watercolor Painting Leeks Bernard Chaet Expressionist
Large American Modernist Watercolor Painting Leeks Bernard Chaet Expressionist

Large American Modernist Watercolor Painting Leeks Bernard Chaet Expressionist

By Bernard Chaet

Located in Surfside, FL

Hand signed and dated leeks on a kitchen table 31.5 X 39.5 framed. 21 X 28.5 sheet without frame. Bernard Chaet (born 1924, Boston, MA - 2012) was an American artist; Chaet is known for his colorful, dynamic modernist paintings and masterful draftsmanship, his association with the Boston Expressionists, and his 40-year career as a Professor of Painting at Yale University. His works also include watercolors and prints. In 1994, he was named a National Academician by the National Academy of Design. Chaet was instrumental in transforming Yale’s traditional art program into one with a more modernist approach that gained national prominence. Chaet melded landscape and abstraction in a traditional established by Vincent Van Gogh, Georges Seurat, Edvard Munch, Piet Mondrian, and Ferdinand Hodler. His own tenure began in 1951 at Yale, where he worked closely with Josef Albers to revamp Yale’s art program. Between 1959 and 1962 he was the chair of what was then called the Yale Department of Art of the School of Fine Arts — prior to becoming one of the independent professional schools at Yale in 1973. Chaet taught painting and drawing and mentored generations of emerging talents. Chaet was the author of the 1970 textbook “The Art of Drawing” and “An Artist’s Notebook 1979,” both of which have since been reissued several times. In the latter book, alongside examples of work by his favorite artists, are student drawings by Yale graduates such as Robert Birmelin, Michael Mazur and Eugene Baguskas. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1924, Chaet studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and then earned a B.A. at Tufts University. Known for his expressionist landscapes and still lifes, Chaet’s work has continuously been shown in galleries in his native Boston, in New York City, and around the country. In 2010, a retrospective of his seascapes was featured at the Cape Ann Historical Society in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where he had a home and a summer studio in nearby Rockport. His has also exhibited at David Findlay Gallery in New York and at Swarthmore College. Many of Chaet’s students went on to notable art careers, including Janet Fish, Chuck Close, and Richard Serra. His work is represented in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, Massachusetts, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, CT, and the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. Chaet is the recipient of many awards including: the National Foundation of the Arts and Humanities, Sabbatical Grant in 1967-68, the National Academy of Fine Arts, Benjamin Altman Award in Painting in 1997, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters Jimmy Ernst Prize in 2001. Chaet was born and raised in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, MA. He completed a dual program at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston—studying painting with Karl Zerbe—and Tufts University, graduating with a B.S. in 1949. Chaet is known for his association as a first generation Boston Expressionist. (along with Hyman Bloom and Jack Levine) Chaet was a contributing editor to Arts Magazine. In 1960 he published the book Artists At Work, which features in depths conversations with artists Pat Adams, Anni Albers, Josef Albers, Al Blaustein, Hyman Bloom, James Brooks, Robert Engman...
