Portrait of a Young Woman - Modernist Female Portrait Oil by Alfredo Guttero
Located in Marlow, Buckinghamshire
Stunning signed and dated modernist oil on canvas by Argentinian painter Alfredo Guttero. The work depicts a portrait of a young Argentinian woman. It is beautifully and the brush strokes make it almost pointillist like. This work has come from the collection of the esteemed Jewish art collector Gaston Prosper Levy and was gifted top him by the painter. Prosper Levy held one of the most important collections of modern French art - many of the works were taken by the Nazis from his home in France in 1940. This work has been assessed by the Art Loss Register and is not recorded on their database. Signature: Signed, dedicated and dated 1918 upper right Dimensions: Framed: 29"x24.5 Unframed: 26"x21.5" Provenance: Original exhibition number to frame The collection of Gaston Prosper Levy Alfredo Nicolás Guttero was born in Buenos Aires on May 26, 1882. He studies music as a child and from an early age he shows his drawing abilities. He starts a law career which he quits two years later to start painting full time. Ernesto de la Cárcova and Martín Malharro encourage him towards this change and, in 1904 he gets a scholarship to travel to France to further his work. His scholarship only lasted a year, but with his family’s help and his work related to decorative art, he manages to stay in Paris until 1917, where he studies under Maurice Denis. He moves to Spain, and towards 1917, he studies in Madrid and La Coruña. Then he moves to Segovia in 1918. In this occasion he takes parts in a collective exhibition of Argentine painters and sculptors, together with artists such as Fray Guillermo Butler and Pablo Curatella Manes, among others. After his passing through Germany, Austria and Italy, in 1925 he settles in Genova where he holds an exhibition of his entire artistic production to date. After 23 years in Europe, on September 26, 1927, Guttero arrives in Buenos Aires, and on October 20, he holds an exhibit at Asociación Amigos del Arte. That same year, the Comisión Nacional de Bellas Artes acquires for the Museo Nacional his piece: Mujeres indolentes (Indolent women). A week later he takes part in the Feria del Boliche de Arte invited by Leonardo Estarico and Atalaya. Upon his return from Genova, he continues his investigation and development of the pictorial techniques denominated by him as “cooked plaster”, a technical procedure based on a paste of plaster with pigments mixed in with glue that the artist generally applied mounted on wooden supports. As of this moment, Guttero starts in Buenos Aies an intensive array of exhibits and other activities which make a big impact on the local cultural scene, apart from continuing with his personal art production. Between 1927 and 1932, the year of his sudden death, Alfredo Guttero takes part, among other projects, in the “3ª Exposición Comunal de Artes Aplicadas e Industriales 1927- 1928”, where he is awarded the Grand Prize in the Sección Pintura Decorativa; and the “X Salón de Otoño de Rosario” (1928) where he gets the Gold Medal for the Figure category; he presents works in the exhibits organized by Ateneo Popular de la Boca (1928); “XVIII Salón Nacional“ (1929) and is awarded the Second Municipal Prize for his work Playa (Beach). In 1929, he organizes the “Nuevo Salón” in Buenos Aires, Rosario and La Plata. He presents his work at the “XIX Salón Nacional de Bellas Artes” where he gets the First Prize in painting with his work Feria (Street market); in September of that same year he inaugurates his fourth individual exhibition at Amigos del Arte and participates in the selection of paintings which will appear in post cards that this institution would print eventually. In 1930 he is named artistic advisor of the Asociación Wagneriana and director of its Plastic Arts Section. That same year he organizes the “Salón de Pintores Modernos. Primer Grupo” in Buenos Aires; exhibits at Amigos del Arte, at the “Salón de Pintores y Escultores Modernos” and at show rooms in Rosario and Santa Fe. In January, 1931 he takes part in the “First Baltimore Pan-American Exhibition of Contemporary Paintings” and is awarded the Museum of Art Award with his piece Anunciación (Announcement), which he later donates to the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de Buenos Aires. That same year he organizes exhibits of Miguel Carlos Victorica and Demetrio Urruchúa in Amigos del Arte and, in May, Guttero presents his work at the Salón Centenario de Montevideo, “Primer Grupo Argentino de Pintores Modernos”. In June he directs together with Falcini, courses on Plastic Art and works on stage scenery for the Colón Theater. Also in 1931, he organizes the “Salón de Pintores Modernos” in Amigos del Arte and takes part at the Salón Nacional, being awarded the Eduardo Sívori Prize. On April 15, 1932 they open together with Pedro Domínguez Neira, Raquel Forner and Alfredo Bigatti the Cursos Libres de Arte Plástico (Free plastic art courses). That same year Guttero is awarded the First Municipal Prize for his work Oda (Ode). In November, he is invited to take part in the “Salón de Arte del Cincuentenario de La Plata” and, on December 1, he dies in Buenos Aires at the age of 50. The following year, between October and November, the Dirección Nacional de Bellas Artes organizes...

Anthony van Dyck, Engraving Ernest de Mansfeld, c. 1654, Portrait, Iconographie
Located in Greven, DE
A wonderfully detailed and charismatic portrait, this exquisite work illustrates the technical mastery and artistic vision of Van Dyck. Ernest de Mansfeld's stately yet approachable expression reflects Van Dyck's refined ability to comfort and relax his subjects, resulting in a realistic and acute portrait. Ernest de Mansfeld was a German military commander during the early years of the Thirty Years War. Donning his armor and an ornate, lace collar, de Mansfeld appears as a strong commander. Without a hint of a smile, he calmly gazes out, the definition of cool and collected. Van Dyck accurately captures the sense that de Mansfeld is a man who takes his job seriously, a man worthy of commanding an army in battle. This portrait is a Mauquoy-Hendrickx State II (of II), engraved by Robertus van Voerst in collaboration with Anthony van Dyck (Antwerp, 1559 - London, 1641) as part of his Iconographie series of engraved portraits of famous people...

Girl at the Beach with wide Brim Hat
Located in Miami, FL
Wonderful 60's chic is on full display in this beach scene. It's masterfully designed. The beautiful model horizontally fills the center space while supporting players fill background spaces. The style is very flat with lots of gray muting the colors and defining the artist's palette. Fuch's was a giant talent who is overlooked by today's art world participants. His style could be described as a post-post impressionist. This particular work is so deftly designed and exhibits the most intriguing positive and negative spaces. The model is rendered with loose, quick and authoritative brush strokes which give an air of chic confidence. Most of all, it's her dreamy blue eyes that truly captivate the viewer. All parts of the eye ( Iris, Pupil, Sclera ) are composed of a soft robin's egg blue which is in counterpoint the pink day-glow color on her lips. She looks at you. You look back and the process is repeated and repeated. Fuch's not just a great painter, designer, academic artist but a brilliant and innovative colorist as well. To demonstrate how great this simple work is, out of a world population of 7.2 billion people, as a betting man, I would say there may be no other artist who could render a scene this good. An artist such as Peter Doig, who does nice and beautiful work, may come close to the talent of Fuchs. Bernard Fuchs American, 1932 - 2009 Girl at the Beach...

Andrew (Sitting, 3/4 Figure - Blue Shorts), Mixed media on Pergamenata parchment
Located in London, GB
Howard Tangye (b.1948, Australia) has been an influential force in fashion for decades. Lecturing at London’s Central Saint Martins for 35 years, including 16 years as head of BA Womenswear. There, he tutored many contemporary greats, including John Galliano, Stella McCartney, Christopher Kane, Wes Gordon, Zac Posen and Hussein Chalayan. Examples of Tangye’s portraits are held in many important collections, both public and private, including the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), Harvard University and London’s National Portrait Gallery. Throughout his teaching career Tangye quietly developed a particularly idiosyncratic art practice. By employing a decisive line with bold applications of richly layered materials, Tangye explores the nuances of the human form in an effort to expose his subjects’ true essence and energy. — Howard Tangye Andrew (Sitting, 3/4 Figure - Blue Shorts...

Nasser Ovissi, 'Iranian, Born 1934' "Four Seated Girls" Oil on Canvas Painting
Located in New York, NY
Nasser Ovissi, (Iranian, Born 1934) "Four Seated Girls" oil on canvas painting Very fine quality painting by Persian Artist Nasser Ovissi who is considered to be known as the "Picasso of Iran". A true modern Iranian masterpiece depicting four Safavid style seated girls dressed in blue, purple, and yellow clothing with a bowl of Pomegranates and fruits in a white background. Oil on canvas, framed. Signed. Canvas Size: 30" high x 40" wide Nasser Ovissi is an American-Iranian painter whose work is characterized by stylized figures of Arabic women and horses. Set amidst geometric patterns and decorative elements, his figures seem to merge into and out of the space behind them. “My work is dedicated to the beauty of life and I hope those who experience my work will walk away with an experience of beauty.” Born in Tehran, Iran in 1934, Ovissi studied Law and Political Sciences at the University of Tehran before studying Fine art at Beaux Fine Art in Rome.

An elegant and sophisticated decorative touch in any living space, portrait paintings have remained popular throughout the years and are widely loved pieces of art for display in many homes today.

Portrait paintings are at least as old as ancient Egypt, where realistic, lifelike depictions of the recently deceased — commonly known as “mummy portraits” — were painted on wooden panels and affixed to mummies as part of the burial tradition.

For centuries, painters have used portraiture as a means of expressing a subject’s nobility, societal status and authority. Portraits were given as gifts in Renaissance Europe, and a portrait artist might have been commissioned to help mark a significant occasion such as a wedding or a promotion to high office. Prior to the advent of photography, which eventually replaced painted portraits as a quicker and more efficient way of capturing a person’s essence, the subject of a portrait had to sit for hours until the painter had finished. And during the 18th century in particular, if an artist commissioned for a portrait struggled with how to adequately memorialize and capture a subject’s likeness, sometimes a portrait painting wasn’t completed for up to a year.

Whether it’s part of the gallery-style approach to your living-room or dining-room walls or merely inspiration as you devise an eye-grabbing color scheme in your home, a portrait painting is a timeless decorative object for any interior. A landscape painting or sculpture might give you the kind of insight into a specific region of the world or a different culture that you can ascertain only through art. Similarly, when you take the time to learn about the subject of a portrait painting that you bring into your home — the sitter’s history, the relationship between the sitter and the artist should one exist, the story of how the portrait came to be — that work can become intensely personal in addition to its place as an object for an art-hungry corner of your apartment or house.
