Original holiday greeting card illustration of a Christmas Tree in a Weathered Niche against a backdrop of a starry night sky Medium: Egg Tempera on Illustration Board Charlotte Joan Sternberg was born in Meriden, Connecticut in 1920. Early on, she became interested in art, and her parents encouraged her efforts. She attended public schools in the area, as well as taking art classes at the technical school. Afterwards, she attended the Yale School of Art. Her fellow classmates included Rudolph Zallinger, who executed the dinosaur mural at the Peabody Museum in New Haven; Jean Day Zallinger, renowned book illustrator; and Edward Paier, founder of the Paier College of Art. It was there that she became interested in egg tempera, and most of her well-known artwork was done in this medium. She was one of a number of Yale artists who revived this medium.(She did not work professionally in oils, although she sometimes used gouache or watercolor.) She went on to a long career in commercial illustration. She worked extensively for J.Walter Thompson, doing advertising art for such companies as Esso (later Exxon), Textron, and Lederle pharmaceuticals. While she did a variety of subjects, she was best known for her Americana themes, particularly snow scenes of historic New England. Many of these pieces were published as Christmas cards for American Artists Group. She also taught for many years at the Paier College of Art. She also did a number of limited edition prints for Greenwich Workshop. Her art is used on such items as tapestry pillows, puzzles, and decorative flags. She was commissioned to do several portraits, including those of Gov.John Lodge...

'Kleiderbügel' by Fides Becker Acrylic and Eggtempera on Canvas, 65 x 55 cm The leading theme of the artist’s interventions is the staging of temporality, transience, and change. Fides Becker (* 1962) developed and pursued her picturesque strategies in the illusionistic pictorial space. Her practice explores intimate worlds through objects and materials we associate with the private sphere in everyday life. Sofas, beds, curtains, mirrors, and sheets are reconstituted in her paintings as fragments, details or dissolving surfaces that engage with the ambiguities between presence and absence, past and present, and personal and collective images. Fides Becker (*1962 in Worms) studied at the Städel School in Frankfurt a.M., at the Academie van Beeldende Kunsten in Rotterdam, and at the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin. Her works can be found in numerous national and international collections, such as the National Collection of Rhineland-Palatinate, the Art Collection of the German Bank...

This vibrant still life painting showcases an intricate arrangement of flowers and fruit against a warm, textured backdrop. Dominating the scene are lush bouquets of chrysanthemums and daisies in vases, their vivid reds, yellows, and whites contrasting with the soft background tones. The flowers' dynamic brush strokes convey a sense of vitality and movement. In the foreground, a plate with vividly rendered apples takes center stage, their rich hues inviting attention. Surrounding the plate, additional fruits subtly complement the overall composition. The artwork's background features a framed painting, adding depth and complexity to the piece. The interplay of light and shadow, along with the sumptuous color palette, creates a harmonious and inviting atmosphere. This painting uniquely combines elements of luxury and simplicity, capturing the essence of a lively yet serene tabletop setting. In the foreground is a rectangular plane of the table, objects are located on it. On the table are vases with large garden flowers, in the middle, in front of the vases, a plate with apples and a knife. On the yellow wall in the frame at the top center is an illustration of the painting by E. Degas...
