Joseph Sundwall
Decisions, Decisions, original 40x30 realist figurative landscape

About the Item

Today is the big day! All of the lessons, studying and practicing are coming to a crescendo! The only item left to do before the concert is to select the flowers to be presented on stage to our conductor. Tulips? Roses? Sunflowers? Lilies? Decisions, decisions! Selecting a mixed bouquet would certainly ensure that she would receive her favorite flowers! This realist figurative landscape is the portrait of a young girl seen in soft lighting, appropriate to her tender age, making what feels like the most important decision of her life! This original oil painting was envisioned and painted by noted artist Joseph Sundwall, a devotee of the teachings of Yale's Josef Albers' principals of minimalism and elegance in a work of art combined with the importance of negative space. Sundwall is known for his sensitivity in the works he produces, often using intermittent abstractions to fill the voids. Sundwall works are in private collections throughout the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and the European continent. From Chicago where he discovered art at a young age, he studied at the Kansas City Art Institute followed by both the famed Art Students League and National Academy of Design in NYC and, subsequently at the St. Oswald's Studios in London, England. Sundwall has selected a slightly distressed plein air frame to present this timeless fresh painting in; the work framed is 48x38x1.

  • Jeune femme à l’éventail (Young Girl with a Fan)
    By James Tissot
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    Conjuring the brilliance of late 18th-century costume with infusions of 19th-century modernity, James Jacques Joseph Tissot’s Jeune femme à l’éventail illustrates the remarkable technique for which he was renowned. His delicate portraiture, combined with his fascination with conveying texture, demonstrates why he was one of the most revered artists of the Belle Époque. Grouped with Tissot’s “keepsake pictures” of beautiful women in fashionable dress, this work is noteworthy not only for the fresh face of its sitter but also for the appearance of some of Tissot’s most beloved props. The delicate fan and paisley cashmere shawl, a favorite prop of Tissot’s artistic idol Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, made frequent appearances in his paintings, as did the exquisite dress the sitter wears. Its identifiable styling can be seen in several of Tissot’s most notable works of the period, including La chéminée and Un déjeuner à la riviere. The playful feel of this painting is grounded by Tissot’s exceptional attention to detail. A master of conjuring an array of textures, Tissot showcased this ability in this composition by juxtaposing many types of fabrics and patterns within one costume. This intricacy, which he carried even to his depiction of the woman’s manicure and jewelry, set him on par with the best artists of his day and contributed to his commercial success. Born in 1836 in the port town of Nantes, Tissot traveled to Paris at the age of 20 in order to join the studios of Hippolyte Flandrin...
