About the Item

Medium: Oil Surface: Canvas Dimensions: 19 3/4" x 21 1/2" x 3/4" Dimensions w/Frame: 25 1/2" x 33 1/4" Ferdinando Ambrosino, born in Bacoli, near Naples in Italy in 1938, began painting in the early fifties, and with some success. As early as 1956 he was dividing his time between pursuing his classical studies and his involvement in both organizing art exhibitions and taking part in them. In 1957 he received his Classical High School Diploma and the following year he enrolled on the Geological Science Course at the University of Naples. In 1959 he began to create various important works and large-scale canvases; one of these was awarded a prize by a jury of experts in occasion of his participation in the “First Edition of the National Exhibition for Young Italian Artists,” held in Naples. In 1967 after some years of serious and thoughtful work, Ferdinando Ambrosino arranged for his first one-man exhibition at the UCAI in the Maschio Angioino in Naples. In 1968 he accepted the invitation to hold a personal one-man exhibition in Venezuela extended to him by a leading art gallery of Caracas, receiving enormous success from both critics and public alike. In Caracas he had then other 10 one-man exhibitions and took part to various art events organized by public institutions and Museums. To this period it follows a series of personal exhibitions in Italy as well as in France, Venezuela, USA, Swiss, Spain and Belgium, which establish successfully his artistic career. Among the many exhibitions are to be mentioned the itinerant one of 1974 through Greece, Turkey, Romania and Russia. A splendid anthological review of his art was organized at the “Palazzo dei Diamanti” in Ferrara, Italy in 1986. In 1990 under the patronage of the Ministry of the Cultural Heritage of Rome, a great exhibition is realized in the monumental complex of “San Michele a Ripa” in Rome, with works spanning a thirty-year period of Ferdinando Ambrosino’s artistic production. The year 1992 followed with a large exhibition held at the prestigious Paris Art Centre Art Gallery and in the same year he was invited to exhibit at the Musée du Bastion Saint André in Antibes on the Cote d’Azur. Of great significance for his artistic career were the 2 exhibitions held in New York in 1994 and 1997 and at the Italian Institute of Culture in San Francisco, in 1998. index2 From 2003 about 200 paintings are in expositions at the Museum of “Villa San Carlo Borromeo”, in Milan, Italy. In 2004, the exhibitions “L’Icona Mediterranea” (“Mediterranean Icon”) is held at the “Sala Dorica” of the Royal Palace in Naples. In 2007 the exhibition “Prophecy” is held at the Italian Institute of Culture in New York. In 2009 the exhibition “The memory of Time” is held at the Chelsea Art Museum in New York. In 2013 the exhibition “A Journey through Time” is held at the “Reggia Borbonica” of Quisisana, Castellamare di Stabia, Naples, Italy. In 2014 the exhibition held at “Palazzo Ripamonti”, at the showroom of Tasselli Cashmere, Bevagna, Italy. “From Cumae to Pompei – A Voyage Through Time” – exhibition at the Italian Institute of Culture in San Francisco. “From Cumae to Pompei – A Voyage Through Time” – exhibition at the Naples Depot Museum, Naples, Florida.

  • 1927 Oil Painting Eiffel Tower Paris American Modernist Wpa Artist Morris Kantor
    By Morris Kantor
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Morris Kantor New York (1896 - 1974) Paris from the Ile St. Louis, 1927 (view of Eiffel Tower) Oil painting on canvas Hand Signed lower left. Provenance: Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution ( bears label verso) Size: 20 3/4"H x 28 1/8"W (sight), 28.75 "H x 36"W (framed) Morris Kantor (Belarusian: Морыс Кантор) (1896-1974) was a Russian Empire-born American painter based in the New York City area. Born in Minsk on April 15, 1896, Kantor was brought to the United States in 1906 at age 10, in order to join his father who had previously relocated to the states. He made his home in West Nyack, New York for much of his life, and died there in 1974. He produced a prolific and diverse body of work, much of it in the form of paintings, which is distinguished by its stylistic variety over his long career. Perhaps his most widely recognized work is the iconic painting "Baseball At Night", which depicts an early night baseball game played under artificial electric light. Although he is best known for his paintings executed in a realistic manner, over the course of his life he also spent time working in styles such as Cubism and Futurism, and produced a number of abstract or non-figural works. A famous cubist, Futurist, painting of his "Orchestra" brought over 500,000$ at Christie's auction house in 2018 Kantor found employment in the Garment District upon his arrival in New York City, and was not able to begin formal art studies until 1916, when he began courses at the now-defunct Independent School of Art. He studied landscape painting with Homer Boss (1882-1956). In 1928, after returning to New York City from a year in Paris, Kantor developed a style in which he combined Realism with Fantasy, often taking the streets of New York as his subject matter. He did some moody Surrealist Nude paintings and fantasy scenes. In the 1940's he turned towards figural studies. Later in his career, Kantor himself was an instructor at the Cooper Union and also at the Art Students League of New York in the 1940s, and taught many pupils who later became famous artists in their own right, such as Knox Martin, Robert Rauschenberg, Sigmund Abeles and Susan Weil...

  • Israeli Modernist Abstract Expressionist Seascape Oil Painting Tel Aviv Harbor
    By Motke Blum
    Located in Surfside, FL
    In this artwork the artist uses the medium spontaneously .The paint has been applied thickly to the surface. The resulting work emphasizes the physical act of painting itself as an essential aspect of the finished work or concern of the artist. size is with frame. Motke Blum was born in Racacun, Romania in 1925. Early in his childhood, the Blum family moved to Bukarest where they settled in a house situated near a circus. The circus would become young Blum's greatest love. He befriended several of the clowns and other performers and, when not painting or playing in clay, Blum could be found enjoyoing the company of these spirited entertainers. These experiences would later become a recurring theme in many of his works of art. In 1938, he was taken by the Romanian Iron Guard. When the Germans invaded Romania, Blum was taken to a forced labor camp. Even during his imprisonment, he continued to create art, painting on the walls of the camp. He escaped the camp in 1944 and boarded an immigrants' ship to Israel. One of the three ships in the convoy was sunk by a German torpedo. Motke later incorporated shipwrecks, boats, and other maritime subjects into several of his paintings. Over the course of his long and fruitful career, Blum showed internationally at over fifty one-man-shows with exhibits in Israel, Holland, England, Belgium, the United States, France, Australia, and more. His art has been commissioned for public buildings and by prominant figures in Israel and around the world, and a series of posters were commissioned by the Justice Ministry and the Ministry of Tourism. Giving back to the community has been a focus throughout his life. After establishing a studio at Chutzot Hayotzer, Motke welcomed schools and both adults and children with special needs, using painting...
