Nahum Tschacbasov Biography : Russian-American artist Nahum Tschacbasov (1899-1984) is known for his cubo-surrealistic works which feature a strong psychological element. Some of his work bears a resemblance to work of another Russian-American artist--David Burliuk. He was somewhat of a late starter, moving to Paris in 1932 to study under Adolph Gottlieb, Marcel Gromaire and Fernand Leger. He had his first exhibition in Paris in 1934. He then returned to the US where he joined Rothko and Gottlieb at the Galery Seccession. He was one of the co-founders of The Ten, a group of social conscious abstract painters which included Rothko, Gottlieb, Joseph Solman and Ilya Bolotowsky, among others. In 1944, he began to work at Stanley Hayter's Atelier 17, a center for surrealistic ideas. Between 1936 and 1943, he had five one-man exhibitions at the ACA Galleries and participated in five group shows. He also exhibited at the Whitney, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Knox Albright Museum, the Chicago Institute of Fine Art and Corcoran, among others. His work can be found in the permanent collections of the Met, the Whitney, the Brooklyn Museum and the Jewish Museum. Tschacbasov has been the subject of two recent retrospective at Fletcher Gallery, Woodstock, NY and Arthur Kalaher...

Title Richard Turner Garden of Eden Figurative Surrealist Oil Painting Key Details Artist: Richard Turner (British, 1940–2013) Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 48 x 36 inches Provenance: Not specified Condition: Very good condition Signature / Inscription: Signed, titled, and dated verso (2003) Description A large-scale figurative composition set within a stylised, almost dreamlike landscape. Three female figures are arranged across the foreground, two reclining and one seated with a child, their forms simplified and outlined against a richly coloured setting of foliage, water, and distant forms. Turner uses a heightened palette of greens, reds, and soft blues, creating a scene that feels both familiar and slightly removed from reality. The composition carries a narrative quality, with references to classical themes reinterpreted through a more contemporary lens. The scale gives the painting a strong presence, making it well suited to a principal room such as a sitting room or larger bedroom. It works particularly well in interiors where art is used as a focal point, with enough space to allow the composition to be viewed fully. The colour and subject lend warmth and depth, especially in settings that favour layered, characterful pieces rather than minimal decoration. Turner’s work often draws on Renaissance and Arcadian traditions, but shifts them into a more stylised and personal language. This painting reflects that balance, combining structured figuration with a more fluid, imaginative setting. It sits comfortably within a collection that values narrative, symbolism, and a slightly unconventional approach to classical themes. Artist Note Richard Turner studied at the Royal College of Art under Carol Weight...

Title Richard Turner Arcadian Figures Landscape Temple Scene Oil Painting Key Details Artist: Richard Turner (British, 1940–2013) Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 40 x 60 inches Provenance: Not specified Condition: Very good condition Signature / Inscription: Signed, titled, and dated verso (2009) Description A large-scale figurative composition set within a stylised Arcadian landscape, where four women are arranged across a richly imagined terrain of water, trees, and distant architecture. Two reclining figures dominate the foreground, their forms simplified and outlined, while others stand further back, one holding a vessel. A small lamb rests quietly at their side, adding a gentle narrative detail. The palette is warm and saturated, with deep greens, ochres, and reds balanced by cooler blues and softened evening tones. The scale gives the painting a strong presence, making it well suited to a main living space, dining room, or larger bedroom where it can sit comfortably as a focal point. Its colour and composition lend themselves to interiors that favour art as a central element, particularly where there is space to allow the work to be viewed at a distance. The subject brings both structure and atmosphere, without feeling overly formal. Turner’s work often draws on classical and Renaissance influences, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. This painting reflects that approach, blending figurative clarity with a more stylised, almost theatrical setting. It sits comfortably within a collection that values narrative, composition, and a slightly unconventional take on traditional themes. Artist Note Richard Turner studied at the Royal College of Art under Carol Weight...

Title Richard Turner Two Ladies Arcadian Landscape Figurative Oil Painting Key Details Artist: Richard Turner (British, 1940–2013) Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 20 x 24 inches Provenance: Not specified Condition: Very good condition Signature / Inscription: Signed, titled, and dated verso (2010) Description A figurative composition set within an Arcadian landscape, depicting two seated women arranged in a relaxed, intertwined pose. Turner simplifies the forms with a stylised approach, using bold outlines and flattened areas of colour to build the figures against a dreamlike backdrop of trees and water. The palette is bright and deliberately heightened, with warm yellows and reds set against cooler blues and greens, creating a sense of warmth and stillness within the scene. The composition has a decorative clarity that allows it to sit comfortably in a range of interiors. Its scale makes it well suited to a sitting room or bedroom, where the subject can be appreciated without overwhelming the space. The strong colour relationships work particularly well in interiors that favour art as a focal point, especially when paired with simpler furnishings that allow the painting to carry the visual interest. Turner’s work often draws on classical and Renaissance influences, reinterpreted through a more contemporary, postmodern lens. There is a quiet confidence in the way the figures are arranged, balancing narrative and form without overcomplication. Pieces such as this tend to appeal to collectors drawn to figurative work that sits slightly outside of strict tradition, offering something both familiar and distinct. Artist Note Richard Turner studied at the Royal College of Art in London, where he was taught by Carol Weight...
