About the Item

Doug Reina is a two-time Pollock-Krasner grant recipient whose studio is in Setauket, New York. Reina is a full-time artist who creates paintings both on location and in his studio of the unique landscapes, people and structures that are part of his life. Reina is also a cartoonist whose work has appeared in the New Yorker magazine as well as with King Features Syndicate. He has recently published a book called “Doug Reina, Under the Covers” which is available on Amazon and features cartoons and sketches pulled from the past 25 years of his sketchbooks. ARTIST STATEMENT What I'm trying to do is to create a painting that operates on two levels. On one level, the painting must have a subject that I find original and compelling, one that invokes a feeling in me that I am excited to share with the viewer. On the other level, the painting must have a unique arrangement of forms, values and colors, in order for the work to have the appearance of an abstract painting. One of the methods I use to achieve this is to begin the work on a blackened canvas. That gives me the ability to leave sections of black areas to be part of the composition. It's my opinion that these black sections of the painting are much more interesting than if I had painted in whatever was supposed to be there. The black creates a mysterious, dreamlike mood, which I welcome. In addition, by painting color over the black canvas, the color is often influenced by the black color coming through the paint. This is particularly useful if I'm trying to portray something that is old and weathered. If I scrape through the paint with the back of my brush, I can create a line. One last thought about painting over black; color really pops off of a black surface.

"Cabin on Lake Michigan Shore, " Oil on Board signed by Francesco Spicuzza
By Francesco Spicuzza
Located in Milwaukee, WI
"Cabin on Lake Michigan Shore" is an original oil painting on board by Francesco Spicuzza. The artist signed the piece in the lower left. It depicts a small cabin on the lakeshore surrounded by bright vegetation. 14" x 20" art 22 3/4" x 29" frame Francesco J. Spicuzza, born in Sicily on July 23, 1883, came to America at the age of 8. He supported himself as a fruit peddler until a newspaperman gave him $4 a week to go to school. He attended classes at the Milwaukee Art Students League, where he studied under Alexander Mueller. There he learned to paint in the then-fashionable "Munich School" technique, with detailed realism in heavy browns and grayed-out hues. Spicuzza completed eight grades in four years, and then in 1911, three businessmen advanced him enough money to allow him to study in New York under artist and teacher John Carlson. It was during this time that Spicuzza changed his style of painting, developing an impressionistic use of color, form and atmospheric renditions. After a period of grinding poverty, one of Spicuzza's pictures won a major New York competition. It was the first of 60 wins, both in the U.S. and Paris. He became a fashionable painter, and many of the leading collections have his work. Spicuzza's typical works were beach scenes, still life, landscapes and portraits done in pastels, oils, ink, charcoal and watercolors. Much of his work traced the history of Milwaukee in the early 1900s. He was probably best known for his scenes of women and children splashing in the waves...
