About the artist:
Rip Matteson was born in Oakland, California in 1920. He studied art at San Jose State, California College of Arts and Crafts, University of California, Berkeley, Parsons School of Design and at the Scuola di Belle Arte, Rome. He received his Master of Fine Arts and Doctorate in Education degrees from the University of California Berkeley.
During his long career as an artist, Rip was awarded numerous awards for his artistic endeavors including the James D. Phelan Award for Achievement in Art and an honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from Blackburn College for his contribution to the foundation of its art department.
Women have been a favorite subject for artists. It is not surprising that Rip’s major influences were Amedeo Modigliani, Egon Schiele, Henri Matisse, Paul Cezanne and Gustav Klimt. Much like these great masters, Rip was not particularly concerned nor interested in recreating a resemblance, but rather he used his model as a vehicle to express his excitement for line, form, color and expression..
In addition to painting, Rip was a renowned cartoonist, published regularly in Playboy and The New Yorker magazines.
His work is in the permanent collections at Bancroft Library, U.C. Berkeley, Bowles Hall, U.C. Berkeley, Monterey Peninsula College, Monterey, CA, Monterey Museum of Art, Monterey, CA, California College of Arts and Crafts, Oakland, CA and Blackburn College, Carlinville, IL

- NudeBy Jan De RuthLocated in San Francisco, CAThis artwork "Nude" is an oil painting on canvas by noted Czech/American artist Jan De Ruth, 1922-1991. It is signed at the lower right corner by the artist. The canvas size is 16 x 13 inches, framed size is 24 x 21 inches. Framed in the original wooden gold and black antique style frame, with fabric liner and gold bevel. It is in excellent condition. About the artist: Born Karlsbad, Czechoslovakia Studied: Rotter Art School, Prague; Ruskin Art School, Oxford University, England; ASL New York; New School, NY; also with Frederic Taubes. Exhibited: 38 National Juried Exhibitions, 14 Museum Solo Shows and 51 Gallery Solo Exhibitions. Author: Portrait Painting, 1964; Painting the Nude, 1968. De Ruth, a native of Czechoslovakia and an American citizen, spent the years of World War II being shunted through five different concentration camps, including the infamous Auschwitz. He made four escape attempts and finally made good on his fifth try. De Ruth constantly sought materials with which to draw, but "The only things we had were the few pieces of cloth we wore," he recalls. By chance, he was transferred to Germany as part of a labor detail and managed to sneak a pencil away from the camp supervisor. "I became a perfect thief during those years," he says. De Ruth drew a mother and child on a scrap of paper he scrounged from the factory where he worked and filled it in with shadings of coffee in various strengths-his finger was his brush. He exchanged the sketch for a piece of bread from a camp guard, and in effect, sold his first painting. In March of 1945, after being transferred to his native Czechoslovakia, he made his successful escape "knowing every step of the way." After the war, De Ruth became the commissar in a small Czech town and remained in the post for one year, just long enough to forge some documents that allowed him to flee to England. He took up residence in London and enrolled at the Ruskin Art School in Oxford University. He arrived in the USA in 1948. There are times in the life of a painter when his dedication to his art is overshadowed by the immediate requirements of self-preservation. This was one of those times! From '48 to 1955 he supported himself by working at night, earning his way painting designs on neckties and bathroom cups...Category

Born and raised in San Diego, California, Rogers now focuses on the future: "I kind of enjoy today and tomorrow and to heck with yesterday." While in high school, Rogers took some art classes and served as an apprentice sign painter, eventually becoming a journeyman. He was also a member of his high school track team, competing in the high jump, the hurdles and cross-country, as well as doing some bike racing. Following a stint in the Army, he began training for the Olympics in bike racing, trying out in 1948, 1952 and 1956. Today, "I ride a stationary bike in front of my easel three times a week." After trying out for the 1956 Olympics...Category
