Modern Landscape Paintings
MODERN STYLE
The first decades of the 20th century were a period of artistic upheaval, with modern art movements including Cubism, Surrealism, Futurism and Dadaism questioning centuries of traditional views of what art should be. Using abstraction, experimental forms and interdisciplinary techniques, painters, sculptors, photographers, printmakers and performance artists all pushed the boundaries of creative expression.
Major exhibitions, like the 1913 Armory Show in New York City — also known as the “International Exhibition of Modern Art,” in which works like the radically angular Nude Descending a Staircase by Marcel Duchamp caused a sensation — challenged the perspective of viewers and critics and heralded the arrival of modern art in the United States. But the movement’s revolutionary spirit took shape in the 19th century.
The Industrial Revolution, which ushered in new technology and cultural conditions across the world, transformed art from something mostly commissioned by the wealthy or the church to work that responded to personal experiences. The Impressionist style emerged in 1860s France with artists like Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne and Edgar Degas quickly painting works that captured moments of light and urban life. Around the same time in England, the Pre-Raphaelites, like Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, borrowed from late medieval and early Renaissance art to imbue their art with symbolism and modern ideas of beauty.
Emerging from this disruption of the artistic status quo, modern art went further in rejecting conventions and embracing innovation. The bold legacy of leading modern artists Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dalí, Henri Matisse, Joan Miró, Marc Chagall, Piet Mondrian and many others continues to inform visual culture today.

Provence landscape , 1946 - oil paint, 46x61 cm.
By Maurice Mendjinzky
Located in Nice, FR
Oil painting on hardboard depicting a Provence landscape with olive trees and hills. Signed on left side low.
Maurice Mendjizky, was born on July 20th 1890 a Lodz in Polonie and died on may 8th in Saint-Paul-de-Vence (Alpes-Maritimes, France).
A museum is tributed to him, the Mendjisky - Ecole de Paris museum, in Paris.
He lived in St. Paul de Vence and good friend with Renoir, Signac, Modigliani and Picasso
Au départ passionné de musique, il part dès son plus jeune âge à Berlin étudier dans une école de composition. Mais, excellent dessinateur, il s’intéresse finalement à la peinture et part pour Paris. Entre 1906 et 1907, il fait un rapide passage dans l'atelier de Fernand Cormon à l'École des beaux-arts de Paris.
Il quitte vite l'atelier pour une vie plus libre où il travaille beaucoup et se fait rapidement remarquer par les grands marchands de l’époque. Il expose chez Georges Petit en 1912. La préface du catalogue est d’André Salmon. Ces mêmes années, il fait la connaissance de Léopold Zborowski, un des grands marchands d'art de l'époque et devient l’ami de Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Auguste Renoir.
En effet, c'est en 1913 qu'il rencontre Renoir. Ce dernier l’invite régulièrement chez lui aux Collettes, à Cagnes-sur-Mer. Enthousiasmé par la lumière et l’atmosphère de la Côte d’Azur, Maurice Mendjizky incite ses camarades, Modigliani, Chaïm Soutine, Léonard Foujita à le rejoindre. Après un séjour en Pologne et Russie, il revient à Paris et rencontre la Alice Prin...

Provenance: Estate of the Artist, Frederick Shane
About the artist:
Painter and printmaker, Missouri regionalist Frederick E. Shane specialized in genre scenes, landscapes, seascapes and portraits executed in a variety of media: oil, watercolor, mixed media, gouache, tempera and lithography. Fundamentally a realist, his work also contains some abstraction, expressionism and surrealism used in treating his subject matter.
In the summers of 1925-26 Shane studied with Randall Davey at the recently-founded Broadmoor Academy in Colorado Springs. The Academy was established in 1919 by Spencer and Julie Penrose, prominent philanthropists and art patrons, who donated their family residence for the creation of a local art institution. In the 1940s and early 1950s Shane maintained his contact with Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center (the successor institution to the Broadmoor Academy in 1936). He participated in a number of its annual Artists West of the Mississippi exhibitions and also became a close friend of Boardman Robinson, the Center’s director, and visiting artist Adolph Dehn...
