Modern Paintings

MODERN STYLE

The first decades of the 20th century were a period of artistic upheaval, with modern art movements including Cubism, Surrealism, Futurism and Dadaism questioning centuries of traditional views of what art should be. Using abstraction, experimental forms and interdisciplinary techniques, painters, sculptors, photographers, printmakers and performance artists all pushed the boundaries of creative expression.

Major exhibitions, like the 1913 Armory Show in New York City — also known as the “International Exhibition of Modern Art,” in which works like the radically angular Nude Descending a Staircase by Marcel Duchamp caused a sensation — challenged the perspective of viewers and critics and heralded the arrival of modern art in the United States. But the movement’s revolutionary spirit took shape in the 19th century.

The Industrial Revolution, which ushered in new technology and cultural conditions across the world, transformed art from something mostly commissioned by the wealthy or the church to work that responded to personal experiences. The Impressionist style emerged in 1860s France with artists like Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne and Edgar Degas quickly painting works that captured moments of light and urban life. Around the same time in England, the Pre-Raphaelites, like Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, borrowed from late medieval and early Renaissance art to imbue their art with symbolism and modern ideas of beauty.

Emerging from this disruption of the artistic status quo, modern art went further in rejecting conventions and embracing innovation. The bold legacy of leading modern artists Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dalí, Henri Matisse, Joan Miró, Marc Chagall, Piet Mondrian and many others continues to inform visual culture today.

Konstantinos Maleas Credited Acropolis Landscape Painting
Konstantinos Maleas Credited Acropolis Landscape Painting

Konstantinos Maleas Credited Acropolis Landscape Painting

Located in Roma, IT

A beautiful and significant painting attributed to the great Greek artist Konstantinos Maleas, In his undeniable post-Impressionist style, he depicts one of his favourite subjects: the Acropolis of Athens set against a hilly landscape dominated by shades of green and earth tones, through a multi-layered composition set on a grassy slope dotted with large boulders and exposed rocks. The use of dynamic and harmonious brushstrokes perfectly captures the presence of vegetation and natural paths immersed in an almost magical atmosphere. At the top of the hill on the left stand the ruins of a classical temple, identifiable as the Parthenon, with its iconic Doric columns. A chain of more distant hills, bathed in a warm light that fades towards the horizon, typical of monumental representations of the 19th and 20th centuries. The Acropolis, which in Greek means ‘high city’, stands at a height of approximately 156 metres, and at its summit lie the principal monuments of classical Greece: The Parthenon: A Doric temple dedicated to the goddess Athena. The Propylaea: The monumental entrance to the sacred precinct. The Erechtheion: A temple known for its asymmetry and caryatids. The Temple of Athena Nike: Situated on a rocky outcrop. This type of view was a recurring theme for many European artists, including Konstantinos Maleas, Leo von Klenze and Carl Rottmann, who sought to capture the connection between the historic ruins and the surrounding natural landscape. Signature traces in the bottom right-hand corner This artwork, never before on the market, comes from an important European private collection and is beautified by an impressive frame in silvered wood, in almost perfect condition. Our company has been present on this platform for many years, with more than 100 sales made and just as many excellent reviews received that you can under our Furniture account.

A Charming 1920's Painting of Mother & Child, Illustration after Norman Rockwell

By Walter Burt Adams

Located in Chicago, IL

A Charming 1920s American Illustration Study Based on the Artwork of Norman Rockwell by Notable Chicago Modern Artist, Walter Burt Adams (Am. 1903-1990). A well executed early figurative work by the artist, depicting a bemusing scene of the artist's mother and brother, as she patiently stands beside him while he dresses unenthusiastically for an impending violin lesson. Artwork size: 24 x 20 inches, oil on canvas, accompanied with the original frame (framed size: 29 1/2 x 23 3/4 inches). Signed "Walter Burt Adams" and dated 1923 lower right. Provenance: Estate of the artist. Walter Burt Adams was a dedicated painter of the American Scene and a singular personality among his peers in the Chicago Modern Art community. His no-nonsense manner, devotion to his craft and sardonic sense of humor characterize a man whose paintings capture life in and around Chicago between the early 1920s and the late 1970s. Born in Kenosha, Wisconsin just after the turn of the last century, Walter Burt Adams spent his childhood in Fargo, North Dakota and began his artistic education there through a correspondence cartooning class as a boy. After finishing high school in Fargo, Adams moved to Chicago in 1922 in order to enroll at the school of the Art Institute of Chicago. Adams’ instruction at the school with artists such as George Oberteuffer, Frederick V. Poole, Charles Wilimovsky...

Here, he abstracted the city skyline of Hudson, NY. Buildings and rooftops in shades of magenta, teal, and green are segmented in the foreground and cropped with black power lines. A soft yellow sky is layered with thin strokes of gesturally applied pale blue paint, furthering abstracting the city landscape. The piece is in excellent condition and ready to hang as is. The sides are painted a very dark, warm magenta so framing is not necessary. About the Artist: Growing up in Puerto Rico, I observed how people and nature could co-exist in harmony. Today, that principle guides my design and artistic work. My paintings are expressions that draw upon my life experiences, traditions, and surroundings. These unique environments inspire my oil paintings: Puerto Rico, where I grew up, New York City, Fire Island Pines...

Modern British landscape of Mousehole Regatta harbor with fishing boats

Located in Woodbury, CT

Eric Ward (British, 20th Century) Mousehole Regatta, Cornwall Oil on canvas Signed lower right Eric Ward was a gifted British landscape and marine painter whose colourful interpretations of Britain’s coastal villages captured the charm and vitality of seaside life during the twentieth century. Working in a fresh Impressionist manner, Ward became particularly known for his evocative harbour scenes, where brilliant coastal light, shimmering reflections and the movement of sailing craft combined to create compositions of enduring decorative appeal. His paintings celebrate the unique character of Britain’s maritime heritage, especially the picturesque fishing communities of Cornwall. This delightful painting depicts the picturesque harbour of Mousehole, one of Cornwall’s most celebrated fishing villages, during the excitement of the annual regatta. Sheltered by its historic granite harbour walls, the tranquil waters are alive with traditional sailing boats, their colourful sails reflected in the calm sea beneath an expansive summer sky. Small rowing boats drift quietly in the foreground, while visitors stroll along the quayside, enjoying the festivities against a backdrop of whitewashed cottages climbing the hillside beyond. Ward masterfully captures the distinctive atmosphere that has attracted artists to Mousehole for well over a century. His confident brushwork and luminous palette beautifully convey the clarity of the Cornish light, where brilliant blues, soft turquoise waters and warm earth tones combine in perfect harmony. The vibrant red and white sails punctuate the composition with striking accents of colour, while the broken reflections dancing across the harbour create an impression of gentle movement and sparkling sunshine. Throughout the twentieth century, Mousehole became one of Britain’s most important artistic destinations, drawing painters inspired by its intimate harbour, traditional fishing boats and unspoilt coastal scenery. Ward continues this distinguished tradition, producing a work that balances careful observation with an impressionistic freedom, allowing colour and atmosphere to take precedence over meticulous detail. The result is a painting that is both instantly recognisable as one of Cornwall’s most beloved harbours and timeless in its celebration of the English seaside. Beautifully composed and executed with a lively painterly touch, this oil on canvas perfectly encapsulates the relaxed spirit of a Cornish regatta. Rich in colour, light and maritime character, it is an excellent example of Eric Ward’s coastal paintings and would make a charming addition to any collection of British marine art, Cornish paintings...
