Gunnar Donald Anderson, age 95 of Sonoma CA passed away on April 26, 2022. Gunnar was born to Sven Gunnar Anderson and Margaret Hultien Anderson on March 3, 1927 in Berkeley, California. He served his country as a member of the United States Coast Guard from 1945 to 1946.
After two years of study at the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco, he attended Los Angeles Art Center School and in 1951 earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree. From 1951 to 1953, he worked as an art director for the advertising agency McCann Erickson in New York City, joining Cunningham and Walsh in 1953, moving to Batten, Barton, Dustine and Osborne in San Francisco in 1955. He studied at the California School of Fine Arts with Clifford Still and the Art Center College of Design with Lorser Feitelson.
Beginning in 1963, Gunnar enjoyed a freelancecareer specializing in portraits of children in oil. He also painted beautiful landscapes and WWI airplanes, many of which were published in flying magazines. He was the illustrator for the children's book Oscar Lincoln Busby Stokes.
Gunnar and Virginia Fletcher Bullock were married in Philadelphia in 1953. They lived in New York City and later relocated to Sonoma, California where they raised three children, Greta Battaglia (Mark), Karin Gare (Robert), Paul Anderson (Anya) and three grandchildren; Natalie, Kristin and Thomas.
Virginia passed in 2000 after which Gunnar met Florence Rose Rosenberg and they married in 2005 spending many wonderful years traveling together until her death in 2019.
Gunnar loved the outdoors. Fishing took him from the lakes and ponds of California and Canada to the oceans of Mexico and Alaska. He also loved flying. He built his first glider in his garage and spent weekends flying with other glider pilots. He also built remote control WWI model airplanes and took great joy in flying them, except for an occasional crash.
Viniculture became an interest for Gunnar, and he planted a small vineyard and created award-winning homemade wines. His ribbons and awards covered a wall in his winery. He loved having a glass or two of his own vintages on his deck overlooking the valley. He was a member of Bohemian Club and took pride in creating special works of art for the Club.

Large Modernist Oil Painting 1940s, Judaica Hasidic Shtetl Wagon Driver WPA Era
By Emanuel Glicenstein Romano
Located in Surfside, FL
Genre: Modern
Subject: Landscape with figure of horse, driver and wagon
Medium: Oil
Surface: wood Board
EMANUEL ROMANO
Rome, Italy, b. 1897, d. 1984
Emanuel Glicen Romano was born in Rome, September 23, 1897.
His father Henryk Glicenstein was a sculptor and was living in Rome with his wife Helena (born Hirszenberg) when Emanuel was born. His father obtained Italian citizenship and adopted the name Enrico. Emanuel was brought up in Italy, Switzerland, Germany, England and Poland.
In 1926 Emanuel Glicenstein Romano and his father sailed for New York. They briefly visited Chicago. Romano's sister, Beatrice, and mother only joined them in New York years later.
Romano changed his name on his arrival to America and some have erroneously speculated that this was to avoid antisemitic discrimination. In truth, as the son of a highly-regarded artist, Romano changed his name to ensure that any success or recognition he would later attain, would be the result of nothing other than his own merit as an artist, and not on account of his father's fame.
In 1936 Romano was worked for the WPA Federal Art Project creating murals. ( there were many jewish artists active with in the WPA period. notably Chaim Gross, Ben Shahn, Isaac and Moses Soyer, Abraham Rattner and many others. During and immediately after World War II, Romano created a series of allegorical works depicting graphic holocaust images that were held closely by the family until after his passing. One of these works is now on permanent display in the Florida Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg Florida.
Emanuel's father died in 1942 in a car accident before they could realize their shared dream of visiting Israel.
In 1944 Romano, having completed his degree at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the Art Institute of Chicago, began teaching at the City College of New York.
Romano moved to Safed, Israel in 1953 and established an art museum in his father's memory, the Glicenstein Museum.

1972 Gestural Oil Painting Boat in Harbor Figural Abstraction Raoul Middleman
By Raoul Middleman
Located in Surfside, FL
Raoul Middleman (born 1935 in Baltimore, Maryland) is an American painter. Middleman has been a member of the Maryland Institute College of Art faculty since 1961. American University Museum at the Katzen Center has described Middleman as a "Baltimore maestro [whose] nudes are not pretty—they are sagging, dimpled, and real. His cityscapes reveal the underbelly of post-industrial rot, his narrative paintings give contemporary life to his personal obsessions. They are intelligent, messy, and utterly masterful."
From an interview with RM "I was doing abstract art. Then Roy Lichtenstein came around, and I wanted to be current. I remember Grace Hartigan said, “You’ve gotta go to New York, seize destiny by the hand.” My friend Jon Schueler took my slides up to Eleanor Ward, who had the Stable Gallery. My Pop art paintings were discovered. I moved to New York into Malcolm Morley’s old loft down on South Street. Agnes Martin was upstairs... People who interest me come from different quarters. I knew guys around Schueler, like B.H. Friedman. But I also knew the Pop world pretty well – Al Hansen, Richard Artschwager, Lichtenstein. I became friends with Raoul Hague...
