Gholam Yunessi
Sidewalk Along the Park - Landscape in Oil on Canvas

late 20th Century

About the Item

Serene depiction of a wooded park by Gholam Yunessi (Iranian, 20th Century). This composition shows a sidewalk along a wooded park, with light filtering through the leaves. Glimpses of the park, possibly with a pond, can be seen through the trees. Of particular note is the way Yunessi depicts shadows on the ground and highlights in the trees "cutting in" to create a sense of depth. Signed "Gh. Yunessi" in the lower left corner. Canvas size: 24"H x 30"W Born in Tehran, Iran, Gholam Yunessi began developing his artistic talent from a young age - starting with one of Persia's most famous sculptors, his uncle Esamaeel Yunessi. At the young age of five, Gholam's creative foundations were nurtured and shaped by this familial guide. In high school he focused mostly on drawing and charcoal work, studying with the renowned artist Shaness. After high school, Yunessi studied art history and technique at the Tehran College of Fine Art. Soon, he was creating, exhibiting, and even teaching. Yunessi also traveled Europe to study the European art masters. Yunessi uses this study and inspiration to create remarkable art that juxtaposes cultures, styles, and sensitivities. Yunessi powerfully blends sensitive tonality with vibrant color to create art that unifies and even transcends different aesthetic traditions. Yunessi finally brought his rich balance of near-eastern and European influences to America, where he has continued to create and produce work that has been recognized and exhibited around the world since 1972. Yunessi describes nature as his main inspiration: “I try to present nature as tangible and exciting. I strive to incorporate those human qualities of life that give it character: happiness, sadness, joy, pleasure, phobia, beauty and, of course, an occasional touch of ugliness."

Quiet Pond at Sunset - California Golden Hour Landscape
By Max Flandorfer
Located in Soquel, CA
Brilliant landscape of a glowing pond at sunset, California's golden hour, by Max Flandorfer (American, b. 1962), 2018. Signed by the artist in the lower left corner. Signed and dated in pencil by the artist on verso. Titled by the artist in pen on verso. Presented in a complimentary gold colored frame. Image, 10.38"H x 13.5"W. Canvas size, 12"H x 16"W. Primarily a plein air painter, Max is an avid outdoorsman and is always seeking to capture the spiritual and humble quality of nature. His work evokes a restful, contemplative stillness that he seeks, both in life and his art. Growing up in Miami, he spent most weekends and summers outdoors in the Everglades, or on the water soaking up the rich color, and beauty of the tropical landscape. Flandorfer lived in California for over 20 years, and currently resides in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Mostly self-taught, Max was forever drawing and sketching as a kid, but the beautiful landscape, and rich artistic heritage of the Monterey peninsula's artist colony was the deciding influence on his later works. An illustration instructor, Jane Miller of Monterey Peninsula College encouraged him to study early California greats such as Granville Redmond...
