Leonid GechtoffOrientalist Cairo Market Street Scene, Middle Eastern Bazaar
About the Item
In original period wormwood frame. Leonid Gechtoff was born in Odessa, Ukraine, then a part of Imperial Russia, in 1883, He received his art school training in Russia, where he probably first met his fellow artist and close friend David Burliuk. His family moved to Cairo and Gechtoff painted many city and genre scenes of Egypt in his heavily impastoed style, bringing him acclaim in the Orientalist-enamored European art world as well. Gechtoff was most influenced by the work of Vincent van Gogh. In 1921 he settled in Philadelphia where Gechtoff’s paintings had a ready success. This established him as a prominent American painter. A portraitist, He painted former president Franklin D. Roosevelt and J. Edgar Hoover. Several big American museum’s have his work on display. Leonid's major patron was the Dutch Philanthropist Edward Bok. Along with inclusion in various group exhibitions, his work was featured in a solo show at the Philadelphia Art Alliance in the early 1930's. Gechtoff had achieved substantial success throughout the 1920's from his landscape paintings near his home in Philadelphia, and had also purchased a summer home on Cape May, New Jersey, where he painted many coastal scenes. Gechtoff continued vigorously painting in his vivid and distinctive style, a blending of post-Impressionism and expressionism. His widow later moved to San Francisco and ran an influential exhibition space in San Francisco called the East-West Gallery, while daughter Sonia became a well-known Abstract Expressionist artist in New York City. Gechtoff is listed in the Archives of American Artists, part of the Smithsonian Institution. His eldest daughter, Sonia, became a successful artist as well.

- Large Pastel Landscape Purple Mountains Landscape American Modernist PaintingBy Larry HorowitzLocated in Surfside, FLLARRY HOROWITZ (American b. 1956) "Purple Mountains," 1988, pastel on paper Hand signed and dated L/R, "Horowitz '88," Dimensions sight 19 1/2" x 23", framed, 26 1/2" x 30 1/2". Larry Horowitz is an American landscape painter. He was born in 1956 in New York City and graduated from SUNY Purchase and immediately won the prestigious and coveted position as apprentice to Wolf Kahn. Horowitz's work captures the beauty of the American landscape with expert use of texture and color that invites imagination and discovery. Although he paints en plein air, he has a firm grounding in abstract expressionism through his education with former students from the Bauhaus and Hans Hofmann school. He has combined both points of view to develop his unique language. His work follows in the tradition of great Modernist American landscape painters Arthur Dove, Georgia O'Keefe and Charles Burchfield but with a more modern, Fauvist color palette. He was included in the show "In the Country, By the Sea" at Madelyn Jordan Gallery along with David Kimball Anderson, Stanley Boxer, Byron Browne, Derek Buckner, Richard Diebenkorn, Larry Kelsey, Gary Komarin, and Susan Wides. Horowitz has also shown at Images Gallery along with Gary Bukovnik, Helen Frankenthaler, Larry Horowitz, Alex Katz, Robert Motherwell, Don Nice, Philip Pearlstein, Joseph Raffael, Hunt Slonem, Carol Summers and Neil Welliver. Horowitz has exhibited extensively both in the US and Canada and is included in numerous private, corporate and public collections.
