Revolutionary artist and illustrator Bob Peak creates a stunning work of golf-themed art that straddles representation and abstraction. Clearly, Peak drew inspiration from the color-field movement being featured in galleries in downtown Manhattan. Their work was about the interaction of blocks of color. Here, Peak shows his distinctive hybrid style of narrative art expressed in large swatches of color but painted with expressive brushwork with thick accumulation of paint in some places. Notice how almost all of the figures are so well delineated with a deep knowledge of academic painting and rigorous attention to body pose and anatomy. Peak has rendered almost every figure in this work of which the total number of rendered figures exceeds 200. The work was most likely done for an assignment for Sports Illustrated Magazine...

Original signed painting by Thornton Utz of Siesta Beach located in Sarasota, Florida where the artist lived. Signed lower left. Condition is very good. Oil paint on board. Wild flowers mixed into the beach grass with seagulls flying along the beach. Overall framed in original period frame in a brown copper patina. Overall measurements are 25.25 by 31 inches. Provenance: Sarasota, Florida estate collection. Thornton Utz was born Nov. 15, 1914, in Memphis, Tennessee, where he spent his young years doodling in textbooks. After discovering his artistic talent, he struggled to save enough money to attend art school in Chicago. With the country in a depression, Utz could afford only one year at the American Academy of the Arts and though he studied there for only a short time, he learned the secret to being a great artist: drawing continually. And draw Utz did, as well as paint, illustrate and design. Initial recognition of his work came for his illustrations. During the 1940s and '50s, Utz provided advertising illustrations for clients such as Coca-Cola, General Electric and Ford Motor Co. His work also graced more than 50 covers of the 'Saturday Evening Post.' International fame came with portraits of...

The calm beauty of Lake Tahoe in the snow is captured with beautiful, crisp detail in this diminutive winter landscape by California nature artist Frank S. Wilson (American, 20th Century). Signed "F.S. Wilson" lower right. Titled "Winter View" with artist's name "Frank S. Wilson" on verso. Displayed in a distressed gold-toned frame. Image size: 4"H x 6"W. A full time professional artist since 1971, Frank's formal art education took place at the School of Practical Art and the Art Institute of Boston where he majored in Editorial Illustration and minored in Photography. He continued his fine art education with further studies under Marko Lolo Marchi and Steven Yankopolis. Over the years, the artist has won many awards for his paintings and sculptures. In February 2010 he was awarded First Place and an Honorable Mention for two entries in the Turner Colour Works of Japan International Gouache Painting Competition. In September of 2005 he was awarded by the City of Chico California, the COBA (Chico Outdoor Board Art) Peoples Choice Award and a commission for a large outdoor mural. Twice, by invitation, he exhibited in the New York State Museum, and has also been featured in art galleries in Canada, New England, Virginia, North Carolina and California as well as in Zurich and Geneva, Switzerland. On October 9, 1998 he was a featured artist on ABC's nationally televised "Good Morning America" show. On January 23, 2009 he was a featured artist on CBS Action News on KHSL TV in Chico, California. A prolific painter, Wilson has created over 3,000 original works in oils and watercolors just since 1995 in addition to hundreds of sculptures. Wilson's paintings and sculptures are in private and corporate art collections in dozens of countries on five continents. He also has painted scores of murals and illusions in homes and businesses. The wilds of nature, in all it's diversity, is the common denominator for this multi-talented artist. The hills and mountains in the wilderness areas of Northern New England and Northern California are the inspiration for his widely ranging work in water media. Hiking by the light of the full moon has inspired Frank to create a series of "nocturnal" watercolors. Climbing in the high country, the artist has witnessed the light of dawn and dusk and translated those moments into dramatic paintings. These unique watercolor and gouache paintings capture the magic of a moonlit winter's evening or a mountain sunset. Sunny days or violent storms, clouds play an important role in many of his landscapes. Wilson also paints in oils which he prefers to emphasize the atmospheric quality of mountain vistas and the winding trails he loves to hike. Wilson is known for his "landscape portraits" of well known natural beauty spots and detailed paintings of wildlife. His wildlife art has been exhibited in many of the major Eastern Wildlife Art Shows. Two of his wildlife paintings were published in Canada as limited edition prints of six thousand each which sold out soon after publication. Frank is one of the 54 internationally selected artists showing on Art Studio 54. Frank Wilson has always had a deep appreciation for natural beauty and a reverence for the natural world. His passion is evident in each of his works, whether it be a small gouache study or a large oil painting.

Oil on canvas laid down on hardboard painting of a meadow stream by the American painter, Albert Babb Insley. Signed lower left. Circa 1885. Condition is good. Housed in a contemporary newer frame added on to an older frame. Overall 20.5 by 28.75 inches. Danforth Museum, Farmingham, Massachusetts letter attached verso. Albert Babb Insley Landscape artist Albert Insley, associated with the American barbizon painters, enjoyed an active career depicting inland and marine subjects around the New England and Middle Atlantic states, from the early 1850's to 1935. He was raised in Jersey City, New Jersey, the son of a photographer. He received his first painting commission at age 12, and worked for his father as an apprentice photographer during his teens. During the early 1860s, Insley continued his artistic development, first as an art instructor with Henry Hillyer at New York University, then, from 1864 to 1865, as a student of Jasper Francis Cropsey. The artist painted some historically interesting views of New York Harbor, Bayonne, New Jersey and Staten Island, and began to exhibit his work regularly at the National Academy of Design beginning in 1862. Insley exhibited annually at the Academy from 1862 to 1898, and at the Brooklyn Art Association from 1869 to 1891. From 1873 to 1918, he maintained a residence and studio at the prestigious Tenth street Studio Building in New York City, making regular painting trips to Rockland County, New Jersey, the Hudson River Valley, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut and Long Island. After 1881, Insley's paintings became more expressive under the tutelage of George Inness, and more poetic under the influence of the French Barbizon painters. From 1905 to 1915, the artist painted many memorable impressionistic works. Insley used a bright palette of colors from the early 1920s to his death in 1937. Insley died after 83 years of painting, at age 95, in Nyack, New York.

By the time he was twenty, he exhibited his first painting at the National Academy of Design and continued to exhibit there for the following thirty-two years. A pupil of Jasper Francis Cropsey and George Inness, Insley's paintings reflect the most picturesque features of the artistic currents of the time. He painted among such notable artists as Winslow Homer, J. Alden Weir, Arthur Hoeber, Herman Herzog, Leonard Ochtman, Frederick Dielman...
