About the Item

Gorgeous vintage still life with Abalone Shells with driftwood Influenced by Claude Buck Tony studied still life under the master painter Claude Buck and the perfection of this copper kettle and abalone shell still life is clear he learned much form the master. Anthony Jankowski (Argentina/American b-1937)Image: 16"H x 20"L Frame: 19.5"H x 23"W x 1"D Tony Jankowski was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. His mother, a former teacher, exposed him to European Masters, and encouraged him to draw and paint at an early age. Mr. Jankowski studied privately with several of Argentina’s leading artists. Continuing his art studies, Tony spent several years living and traveling throughout South America and Europe. He came to the United States in 1963, where he met and studied under Santa Barbara artist Claude Buck for 10 years. His paintings have been shown at galleries throughout the United States, Central and South America, and has won awards and done numerous commissions. Artist’s Statement: Tony Jankowski uses techniques of dynamic symmetry and golden proportions in his paintings. Tony says, “Essentially, it is a combination of mathematical proportions and values that will result in a painting with a golden point that will please the eye.” Claude Buck: Painter Claude Buck was born in New York City on July 3, 1890. He began his artistic studies at the National Academy of Design and was taught by artists including Emile Carlsen, George de Forest Brush, Francis Jones, and Kenyon Cox. Later he traveled to Munich for a period of study. Upon his return, he began a busy schedule of exhibitions. Although Buck spent the last years of his life in Santa Cruz, California, and is considered a California artist, his work also reflects the formal New York and Munich training he received at the beginning of his career. He also was a painting instructor at the Studio School of Art in Chicago for some years.
