About the Item

Signed lower left, 'Ventosa' for Jose Ventosa Domenech (Spanish, 1897-1982) and painted circa 1950. A substantial oil painting showing a luminous view of the island of Mallorca with ancient olive groves and mountain cliffs bathed in warm evening light beneath clouded blue skies. A large and rare study of the island by this notable Catalan landscape painter. Born in Barcelona, José Ventosa Doménech first attended the San Jorge School of Fine Arts in 1911. He then undertook an extended trip to Brussels where he studied Vanguard painting before returning to Barcelona where he continued his studies with the Realist, Martí Alsina. In 1922, Ventosa worked alongside Eliseu Meifren and Domingo Soler in Ripoll. From 1924, Ventosa exhibited in Barcelona as a member of the "Nou Ambient", the Catalan art collective. Over the course of a long career, Ventosa exhibited widely and with success, both in group shows and as a solo artist, in Europe and South America including in Mexico ("Manifestation of Catalan Art", 1937) and in Palma de Mallorca (Galería Costa, 1947).

This notable American Impressionist was a long-time member of the Rochester Art Club and served as president of the Genesee Group of Painters.

    Not Fishing Today by Lu Haskew Oil 8x10" image size Landscape Painting, Boat at Dock This painting is unframed, canvas on gator board, the price reflects that it is unframed. ​ ABOUT THE ARTIST: Lu Haskew 1921-2009 "Life is good to me. Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons." Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years her painting became a full time career that lasted 17-years. Beginning in 1992, she studied with renowned painters Richard Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike...
