About the Item
Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork by:
Bror Julius Olsson “B.J.O.” Nordfeldt (1878 – 1955)
Bror Julius Olsson was born in Tullstrop, Sweden in 1878. He immigrated to the United States in 1891, later adopting his mother’s maiden name of Nordfeldt. Beginning his art studies at the Art Institute of Chicago where he was chosen to assist fellow artist, Albert Herter, with a large mural project for the McCormick Harvester Company. In 1900, he was sent to Paris by McCormick to help set up the completed mural at the Paris Exposition. While there, he studied briefly at the Academie Julian before traveling to England to study woodblock printmaking under F. Morley Fletcher. Returning to Chicago in 1903, Nordfeldt would spend the next ten years painting mainly figurative works in an academic style similar to that of the Old Masters. By the mid-teens he had developed a bold dramatic modernist style and divided his time between New York and Provincetown, Massachusetts. There, he invented the “Provincetown Print”, a form of woodblock printing producing a multi-colored print with a single impression. In 1919, Nordfeldt moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico where he built a home, and although continuing to make woodblocks and etchings, he primarily concentrated on painting.
Nordfeldt spent the year of 1933 teaching at the Minneapolis School of Art where he met an art student named Emily Abbott whom would later become his second wife. For the next several years he taught at the Wichita Art Association in Kansas, until finally moving to Lambertville, New Jersey in 1937. In the early 1940s, Nordfeldt was a guest professor at the University of Texas and upon returning to Lambertville, he would marry Emily Abbott in 1944. Nordfeldt was most prolific during the 1930s and 1940s, creating some of his best work. His paintings are highly sought after by collectors of both western as well as New Jersey and Pennsylvania modernist art.
He exhibited at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco (1915 Silver Medal), the Art Institute of Chicago (1926 medal(, the Sesquicentennial Exposition in Philadelphia (1926 medal), the Corcoran Gallery Biennials, the Smithsonian Institute, the Arts Club of Chicago, the Denver Art Museum, the Carnegie Institute, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, among others. Nordfeldt’s work is in the permanent collections of over thirty-five museums internationally.

"Pink Vase with Flowers"
By James Lechay
Located in Lambertville, NJ
Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork by:
James Lechay (1907 – 2001)
Born in the Bronx in 1907, James Lechay spent most of his childhood in Brooklyn before moving to Joilet, Illinois at age 13 to live with his uncle after his mother passed away. In 1928, he received his B.A. in psychology from the University of Illinois. The next year, he attended one week of graduate school before leaving to study under his brother, the painter Myron Lechay, in New York. At his brother’s studio, James began to associate with other artists of the time such as Milton Avery, Mark Rothko, Arshile Gorky, William Zorach, and Raphael and Moses Soyer. From Myron, James Lechay learned to train his eye to observe natural forms and developed a philosophy dependent upon the relationship built between the artist and the subject.
Lechay became engaged in the social and political issues of Depression-era New York and even joined the social realism movement for a brief time in the 1930s. He operated as the leader of the Artists Union while employed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). With the WPA, Lechay traveled to Las Vegas, New Mexico, where he established a gallery and exhibited the works of Milton Avery, Max Weber, and other WPA artists. Despite his association with many artists and artistic communities in New York in the 1930s and 40s, Lechay opposed adopting a style due to its popularity and commercial success. His use, however, of large brushstrokes from Abstract Expressionism, the flattened plane of Modernism, and the simple compositions of early Abstraction created a combination of styles completely his own.
A painter of a vast range of subjects, including still lifes, portraits, and landscapes, Lechay was known to reduce these forms to their visual essentials. Lechay often did not date his paintings as he frequently reworked them, even after they were exhibited, calling his pieces, “finished at all stages and never finished”.
In 1945, Lechay was hired by the University of Iowa’s art department, where he worked alongside Mauricio Lasansky, Humbert Albrizio, Carl Fracassini, and Byron Burford...
