"Femme Rousse Sur Fond Vert", Albert Bertalan, Original Oil, Green, Figurative
Located in Dallas, TX
"Femme Rousse Sur Fond Vert" is an original oil on canvas impressionistic portrait of a woman by Albert Bertalan. A red-headed lady in a purple and white striped collared coat sits in front of a green background daydreaming about something personal. The painting is framed with an ornate gold frame.
From the late 19th century until World War Two, Paris was the center of the art world. Artists and intellectuals from around the globe descended on Paris, drawn by the atmosphere of creative freedom established by the French Impressionists. Because of the Impressionists’ innovations the direction of art had changed forever, the times were ripe for another Renaissance. The School of Paris, as this broad-based group of artists are referred to embodied the spirit of modernism.
Albert Bertalan was born on September 21, 1899 in Jaszbereny, Hungary. He is known for painting compositions of figures in unique environments, including women by the sea, among other similar subject matters. He studied at the Nagybanyai Art School under some of the most important Hungarian artists, including Ivànyi Grünwald...

Jankel Adler was born in Lodz, Poland and lived a life of wandering. In 1912 he moved to Belgrade where he began training as an engraver with his uncle and then went to Germany in 1914 where he lived for a time with his sister in Barmen. There he studied at the college of arts and crafts with Professor Gustav Wiethücher.
Between 1918 and 1921 he moved between Lodz and Germany until in 1922, he settled in Düsseldorf where he became a teacher at the Academy of Arts, and became acquainted with Paul Klee, who influenced his work. A painting by Adler received a gold medal at the exhibition “German art Düsseldorf” in 1928. In 1933, with the rise of Hitler’s Nazi regime, he left Germany for Paris.
With the outbreak of World War II in 1939, he volunteered for the Polish army...

Young girl Redhead Holding her father's hand
By Robert Riggs
Located in Miami, FL
There is a reason why there are few contemporary painters who can paint a portrait this good. It's hard to do. It's easy to throw some paint or spray a mess of graffiti on canvas. That's easy art. Executing a portrait with a great depth of anatomy and structure takes years of academic training. In Riggs's time, there were teachers who knew how to pass on this knowledge. He studied at the Art Students League and the Académie Julian . Today, they are very few and far between.

Pogorze Foothills - Mid 20th Century Oil Painting by Helena Krajewska - Poland
Located in Watford, Hertfordshire
Helena Malarewicz-Krajewska (born 14 July 1910 in Biecz , died May 7, 1998 in Warsaw) is a Polish painter, active advocate of socialist realism.
Studied between 1928 and 1929 at the Free School of Painting and Drawing in Cracow , from 1929 to 1934 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw : painting by Mieczysław Kotarbiński and Felicjan Szczęsny Kowarski and graphic art by Władysław Skoczylas and Leon Wyczółkowski . During his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw he worked in the Association of Independent Socialist Youth "Życie".
At the end of 1945, Helena and Juliusz Krajewscy lived in Warsaw. Helena Krajewska participated in the creation of the first Polish Fine Arts Association. Krajewscy became members of the PPR party organization at the Fine Arts Association.
In 1947 she became the President of the Board of the Warsaw District of the Union of Polish Artists , and in 1948 the Secretary of the Polish United Workers' Party at the ZPAP.
In December 1985, an exhibition of works by Helena and Juliusz Krajewski took place in Warsaw's Zacheta. After 1989 some of the paintings of the Krajewski were transferred to the gallery of socialist realist art of the Zamoyski Museum in Kozłówka.
This piece was created using oil on card in wooden gilt frame under glass.
