About the Item
Signed lower center, 'Widman' for Harry Widman, Jr (American, 1929-2014) and painted circa 1956.
Exhibited: Artists of Oregon, Painting and Sculpture Show, Portland Art Museum, Oregon, 1956, (from old exhibition label verso).
A notable painter in his own right, Harry Widman was also a pioneer of Oregon Modernism and taught at the Portland Art Museum School starting in 1960. After being appointed dean, he oversaw its transformation into the Pacific Northwest College of Art. At the Museum School, he worked with artists Louis Bunce, Michele Russo, and William Givler to develop and insitll the principles of Modernism in a new generation of Oregon artist. Active in the establishment of the Oregon Arts Commission, Widman was also a founding member of the City of Portland Art Commission.
Born in New Jersey, Widman first studied art at Syracuse University before joining the army. While in Bremerhaven, Germany, Widman was influenced by the art and artifacts he saw at the archaeological museum. After he returned to the States, Widman attended the University of Oregon under Jack Wilkinson and David McCosh. Widman completed his MFA in 1956, to which this painting dates, after being taught in the Willamette Valley Style, an approach based on color theory and the color theories of Paul Cezanne. Widman continued to exhibit with success throughout his life, including at Reed College in Portland and the Hallie Ford Museum of Art at Willamette University. We are pleased to offer this elegant and characteristic still-life, dating to the artist's early period.

'Still Life of Fruit', Grande Chaumiere, Hans Hofmann, NY ASL, Monhegan, PAFA
By Alex Minewski
Located in Santa Cruz, CA
Signed lower right, 'A. Minewski' for Alexander Minewski (American, 1917-1979) and painted circa 1950.
Born in Detroit, Alexander Minewski left home at the age of 14 to work in the circus. He subsequently worked as a sign painter and a logger. Minewski first studied at the Society of Arts and Crafts in Detroit (1936-1939) and received scholarships that allowed him to attend the Art Students League in New York City (1939-1942). There, he studied under artists including Jean Charlot, Ernest Fiene, George Grosz and Vaclav Vytlacil.
During World War II, Minewski joined the army and fought as a combat engineer. Wounded in Burma while fighting with Merrill's Marauders, he spent two years there recovering from his wounds. Following his time in Burma, Minewski studied for two years on the G.I. Bill in Paris at the Académie de la Grande Chaumiere (1950-1952) and, independently, with Hans Hofmann in New York City (1952-1953). Hofmann was influential on his style and his work shifted away from a moody realism towards a fuller expressionism.
In 1954, Minewski began spending his summers at the artist’s colony in Monhegan Island, Maine. While there, he was able to work and collaborate with other artists and friends such as Ted Davis...

Enid Munroe re-establishes the aesthetic worth of ordinary manufactured objects within the basic form language of Cubism. In her painting the artist uses trompe-l'oeil to render her composition, involving realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects exist in three dimensions.
Enid Munroe is an artist and teacher who is well known regionally for her paintings, works on paper and Gold leaf, silver leaf, trompe l’oeil collage and assemblage series. She has been included in numerous invitational and juried exhibitions both nationally and regionally. Her works are in leading public, corporate and private collections including the Brooklyn Museum and the National Museum of American Art. Munroe cites painter Georgia O’Keeffe as one her influences and sources of inspiration. “Georgia O’Keeffe really helped lift the concept of women as artists,” stated Munroe. Munroe lived and worked in Mexico, Japan and Italy before settling in Connecticut. She is the author of An Artist in the Garden: A Guide to Creative and Natural Gardening (Henry Holt & Co, 1994) and has been active in regional art events including the founding of the annual Pequot Library...
