"Femme Rousse Sur Fond Vert", Albert Bertalan, Original Oil, Green, Figurative
Located in Dallas, TX
"Femme Rousse Sur Fond Vert" is an original oil on canvas impressionistic portrait of a woman by Albert Bertalan. A red-headed lady in a purple and white striped collared coat sits in front of a green background daydreaming about something personal. The painting is framed with an ornate gold frame.
From the late 19th century until World War Two, Paris was the center of the art world. Artists and intellectuals from around the globe descended on Paris, drawn by the atmosphere of creative freedom established by the French Impressionists. Because of the Impressionists’ innovations the direction of art had changed forever, the times were ripe for another Renaissance. The School of Paris, as this broad-based group of artists are referred to embodied the spirit of modernism.
Albert Bertalan was born on September 21, 1899 in Jaszbereny, Hungary. He is known for painting compositions of figures in unique environments, including women by the sea, among other similar subject matters. He studied at the Nagybanyai Art School under some of the most important Hungarian artists, including Ivànyi Grünwald...

Father and Son, Women's Day Magazine Cover, January 1945
The illustrations of Douglas Crockwell were often simply signed “Douglass” to avoid confusion with the signature of Norman Rockwell, particularly since their work was being published on the covers of The Saturday Evening Post during the same period. Necessary too, because Crockwell also worked very realistically, and like Rockwell, was particularly good with children.
Their backgrounds, however, were entirely different. Crockwell was born in Chicago, Ohio, and took his degree in Science at Washington University, followed by study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Chicago and the St. Louis School of Fine Arts. He received his first commission for a cover for The Saturday Evening Post in 1933, and this was followed by many more, as well as work for other periodicals and a long list of national advertisers.
During the ‘thirties, he also completed Post Office murals in Vermont, New York State and Mississippi, and began to work on experimental animated films. The films, and inventing a “pan-stereo” viewing...

Journey of Love
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
The central theme of "Journey of Love" revolves around the feeling of uncertainty that often accompanies the onset of a romantic relationship between two young people. As we gaze at the artwork, we witness the subtle apprehension in their eyes and body language, hinting at the initial hesitancy that comes with opening one's heart to another. Adewale beautifully captures the vulnerability of these young souls, making it evident that they are navigating uncharted waters, unsure of what the future may hold for their budding connection.
The woman, almost positioned in front of the young man, symbolizes her subtle dominance in the relationship. This arrangement not only suggests her strength and independence but also highlights the significance of women in guiding the course of love. The painting subtly challenges traditional gender norms, emphasizing the equal partnership and influence both individuals have in shaping their shared journey.
Moreover, "Journey of Love" doesn't shy away from portraying the doubts and fears that can plague the minds of those in the early stages of a relationship. The artist masterfully captures the subtle tension in their clasped hands, portraying the emotional tightrope that they walk together. This poignant aspect of the artwork resonates deeply with viewers who have experienced the vulnerability and anxiety that come hand in hand with falling in love.
However, amidst the uncertainty and challenges depicted, Adewale's artwork also showcases the hope that drives these young hearts forward. In the gentle smiles and the glimmer of optimism in their eyes, we see the belief in the magic of love, the idea that their journey will be one of shared joy and personal growth. It is precisely this hope that allows them to face the challenges head-on and continue on their path despite the unknown future.
The journey of love, as depicted in the artwork, is not without its trials and tribulations. Adewale subtly incorporates various elements in the background, such as swirling winds and turbulent skies, as metaphors for the external forces that may try to sway their commitment. The young couple's ability to withstand these challenges and remain standing together is a testament to the strength of their bond.
As viewers immerse themselves in the layers of the "Journey of Love," they cannot help but reflect on their own experiences with love and relationships. The artwork becomes a mirror that allows them to ponder the uncertainties they have faced, the doubts they have battled, and the triumphant moments that have shaped their romantic endeavors.
In conclusion, "Journey of Love" by Busari Adewale...
