About the Item

Noe Canjura El Salvador, 1925-1973 Soleils au Crepuscule Oil on canvas 28.75 x 23.75 in. W/frame 37 x 32 in. Signed lower right Noé Canjura was born in 1922, in Apopa a village in the Republic of El Salvador in Central America, to a family of landless peasants of humble origin. By the time of his decease he was recognized as one of the leading landscape, still life and figure painters of France. As a youth Canjura was raised in intimate contact with the struggle of wrestling a livelihood from the infertile soil of his native village. To pay part of his expenses and to lighten the weight of the sacrifices his father made to keep him in school, Canjura worked in a sawmill and often spent the night there, sleeping on bare boards. His talent for drawing came to light when he was seventeen years old and, without knowing how or why, his adventure in the art world began. He first studies painting at the Academy of Painting of Valero Lecha in San Salvador (1942 – 1946). Beginning in 1942 Canjura took part in all of the group exhibitions throughout El Salvador and several years later was exhibiting in Guatemala. In 1948 he travelled to Mexico City to continue his studies, there he was strongly influenced by Diego Rivera, who with Orozco and Siqueiros , was at the height of his fame. Gradually Rivera’s influence lessened and Canjura turned to the art of Gauguin, gaining from him the idea of formal order in painting and the use of curves. The same year had his first exhibition in the United States. Life in Paris: Canjura’s career changed dramatically in 1949 when he went to France to study at the “Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beux-Arts” for special studies in the technique of fresco painting, on grant issued by his government. While in Paris the work of Courbet and Le Nain had strong attraction for him, though he clung to subjects that depicted the somber life and harsh soil of his native country. He had his first one-man show in Paris in 1953 and since then France became his adopted country. Life in Paris was difficult, and like many others, he had to undertake various forms of manual labor to make a living. Having married Madeleine Bachelet an artist like himself, life was made easier and he was enabled to be more dedicated to his art. Within himself still remained great controversy as to his ability as a painter, perfectionist that he was. The strong influence of his years in Paris was very apparent when he returned briefly to El Salvador in 1957. He saw his country through different eyes and from then on color and light became more and more part of his work. Canjura’s painting is now a synthesis of the many influences which have deeply marked his character as well as his art. His canvases are both dramatic and wistful; powerfully composed yet detailed with great subtlety; always simplified planes of color which at first suggest abstractions. The fact that in six years between 1959 and 1965 the City of Paris purchased four of his paintings for its permanent collection is an indication of his standing in the Paris art world and the steady development of his work. Canjura was a member of the “Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts” and “Societe de Salon de la Jeune Peinture”. He exhibited regularly and with unquestioned popularity in the important Paris Salons: especially, he was invited every year in the Maurice Boitel's group in Salon "Comparaisons" . His paintings have been purchased for the collections of The French State, The National Museum of El Salvador (transferred then to Museum of Art of El Salvador MARTE) and the Hamishka Leomanouth Museum at Ein Harod in Israel. In 1965 he was awarded the coveted “Prune d’Argent” of the Salon Peintres de Provence. [edit] Morienval Noé Canjura died in Morienval, France on September 29, 1970 at the age of 48. He was buried at the church's cemetery in Notre Dame de Morienval, Direct survivors include his daughter, Leticia Canjura and his granddaughter Vilma Borden, both residing in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. Together with Julia Díaz, Raúl Elas Reyes, Rosa Mena Valenzuela, Canjura is an icon in El Salvador of the greatest art school movement of his generation. He also symbolizes the human capacity for reinventing himself from a humble barefoot young art student to a powerful creator of his own existence in an international environment. Mr. Wally Findlay, president of the galleries, once, said: “The young artist in a very short time would achieve the stature of such contemporary artists as Bernard Buffet and Nicola Simbari”.

Little Blue Houses - Oil Still Life Landscape with Rural and Urban Symbolism

By Mark Bowers

Located in Chicago, IL

Mark Bowers- Artist Statement With the depiction of landscape playing such a central role in the history of North American art, it seemed to offer many of the critical possibilities I was looking for, and it felt more and more like something I have always known. Something I could easily apply, stage, and manipulate as a diary. My work consists of small-scale highly detailed landscape paintings. They are inspired by the comfort, trepidation, and beauty found in the mundane Chicago Suburbs. I combine nature, decorative house wares, municipal structures, and personal artifacts to hint at current life and future implications in the orchestration of these elements. Each work in the series is a portrait of a search for markers on a journey, an attempt to learn from what is palpable and to appreciate the intangible. The paintings are meant to suggest the truth in the un-idealized moment--the actual truth only exists off the edges of my canvas, off stage, and in the experience of the viewer. Painting the objects in these compositions is like positioning characters on stage in a play, each adding to the dramatization Mark Bowers Little Blue Houses oil on panel 15h x 30w in 38.10h x 76.20w cm MJB008 Mark Bowers b. 1977 St. Joseph, MI Exhibitions 2013 American Painting Today: Physical and Visceral, Krasl Art Center, St. Joseph, MI 2012 Fort Wayne Art Museum, Contemporary Realism Biennial, Fort Wayne, IN Rockford Art Museum Midwestern Biennial, Rockford, IL Ann Brierly Gallery, Winnetka, IL 2009 Art Chicago, Represented by Ann Nathan Gallery, Merchandise Mart, Chicago, IL Ann Brierly Gallery, Winnetka, IL 2007 Beverly Arts Center Biennial, Chicago, IL Ann Brierly Gallery, Winnetka, IL 2005 Ann Brierly Gallery, Winnetka, IL 2003 Ann Brierly Gallery, Winnetka, IL Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, RI 2001 The Box Factory Gallery, St. Joseph, MI 2000 John G.
