This original abstract oil and metal foil on board painting titled Warlock by George Cecil Carter (1908-1987) dates back to the 1950s. The piece is a striking example of Abstract Expressionism, painted in dynamic shades of dark blue, gray, white, orange, and purple. The artist's use of textured metal foil and oil paint creates an intriguing interplay of light and shadow, enhancing the piece's modernist appeal. Signed by Carter in the lower right corner, and titled and dated on the verso, this unique work is presented in its original George Nix frame, measuring 30 ¾ x 36 ¾ inches, with the image size itself measuring 23 ¼ x 29 ¼ inches. About the Artist: George Cecil Carter was born in 1908 in Woodward, Oklahoma, and became a prominent figure in the Colorado Abstract Expressionist scene. Despite having no formal artistic training, Carter developed a distinctive style, influenced by his diverse life experiences. He worked in various industries, including as a coal miner, gold miner, and machinist at Schneebeck's Industries in Colorado Springs for 20 years. During this time, Carter honed his artistic skills under the mentorship of Charles Bunnell, a painter from the Broadmoor Academy. Carter’s works reflect the boldness and emotional intensity of Abstract Expressionism, with vivid colors and strong compositions. He worked primarily out of Colorado Springs and Canon City, Colorado, and exhibited his art nationally, including shows in Texas and Illinois. His contemporaries included fellow Colorado artists such as Al Wynne, Mary Chenoweth...

An original oil on board painting by American modernist John W. Hatch. This incredible cubist painting was created in the 1950's. Estate stamped on the reverse. The painting comes housed in a modern black frame presentation. John Woodsum Hatch 1919-1998 During his fifty-year career as an artist, John Woodsum Hatch explored the people, the landscape, and the seascape around him. From his extensive travels to his years in New Hampshire, he developed a body of work that captures a sense of place. Through watercolor, ink and sand, he depicted the grandeur of the White Mountains. The crisp light and distinct topography of the Isles of Shoals and Great Bay Estuary are precisely and clearly documented in acrylic and tempera paintings. His ability to convey the sheer scale and longevity of the mountains and sea, and by comparison the fleeting nature of human life, conveys in a not-so-subtle way that the natural environment is to be revered and preserved. Hatch took his first teaching job at the University of New Hampshire in 1949, the same year he graduated from Yale University. He never left. A former student, Sam Cady, described his contributions: “He was a wonderful mix of jokester and sage. A teacher who obviously loved people, loved teaching, and had a great gift for it.” After retiring in 1985, he was made an honorary Professor Emeritus at UNH. Hatch contributed to New Hampshire's cultural life in three areas: his teaching, his art, and his community service. His effectiveness in these three areas can be traced his commitment to give something of himself to help others. Many artists teach by necessity and resent it as a drain on their creative energies but Hatch found his greatest fulfillment from a combination of teaching, making art, and being deeply involved with his community as an art historian and as an environmentalist. Hatch’s work can be seen in numerous public collections, including: the Addison Gallery of American Art; DeCordova Museum; Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts; State of New Hampshire's Living Treasures Collection, and the Portland Museum of Art in Maine. John Woodsum Hatch, New Hampshire's 1997 Living Treasure Award recipient, died on August 6, 1998, at the age of 78. Hatch was a draftsman, an artist and a muralist. His works can be found in public and private collections throughout the region. He exhibited at the New Hampshire Art...

In the golden age of glamorous air travel, artist Jean Picart le Doux crafted a masterpiece that not only encapsulates the elegance and sophistication of an era but also pays homage to Air France's commitment to making France accessible to the world. Titled "France Air France," this 1956 original travel poster is a timeless representation of the allure of French travel. Air France, a pioneering force in the aviation industry, commissioned Picart le Doux to create a visual masterpiece that would not only promote the airline but also embody the spirit of French sophistication. Jean Picart le Doux, born in Paris in 1902, was a renowned French artist celebrated for his contributions to the field of tapestry, ceramics, and graphic arts. His artistic flair and distinctive style made him a sought-after figure in the mid-20th century. Picart le Doux's ability to blend traditional artistic elements with modern aesthetics is evident in "France Air France," where he skillfully captures the essence of both travel and national pride. As a piece of travel memorabilia...
