Man in a harness 1980 Signed Limited Edition Lithograph
By Alice Neel
Located in Rochester Hills, MI
Alice Neel
Man in a harness - 1980
Print - Lithograph on Arches Archival Paper
Paper Size : 31¼" x 27" inches
Edition: Signed, Dated and numbered in pencil XX/XX
Though Neel's work can revel in a painterly loveliness, she doesn't pander to her audience or to her subjects, and it's not unusual for her paintings to be tough.
"Cezanne said, 'I love to paint people who have grown old naturally in the country.'
My statement is, 'I love to paint people mutilated and beaten up by the rat race in New York.'"
Her work is now in the collections of museums and private collectors in the USA and Europe.
As an American portrait artist with an international reputation, Alice Neel was both a woman of her time and an artist with timeless talents.
In 1932 she entered the art world while living in Greenwich Village, NY and called herself "a collector of souls.”. In 1958 she began to paint artists, critics, writers, historians, and other art world figures. In 1970 she painted Andy Warhol, shirtless and scarred after he was shot in the chest and abdomen. By the time she died she...

Orpheus - Drawing By Gustave Bourgogne - 1940s
Located in Roma, IT
Orpheus is an artwork realized by Gustave Bourgogne in the 1940s.
Pencil and watercolor, ink on paper.
Good conditions.
Gustave Bourgogne (1888-1968), a french painter born in 1888 in Veigné in Indre et Loire and died in Paris in 1968. He excelled in landscapes, still lifes and portraits and specialized in the abstract interpretation of great musical compositions.
In 1928, hearing the great carillon of the cathedral of Mechelen, he had the revelation of the correspondence of sounds and colors and began to reproduce in his paintings the impressions felt while listening to music, considering that painting is like music, the result of the same deep rhythm. In the company of Henri Valensi, Charles Blanc-Gatti and Vito Stracquadaini, Gustave Bourgogne published the Musicalism Manifesto in 1932 and created with them the Association of Musical Artists.
He exhibited his works at the first three salons of musical artists (which were held at the Renaissance Gallery) which were joined by, among others, Louise...

On the Beach (Coney Island, New York) — 1930s Graphic Modernism, WPA
By Lou Barlow
Located in Myrtle Beach, SC
Lou Barlow (Louis Breslow), 'On the Beach' (Coney Island) wood engraving, c. 1937, edition c. 25. Signed and titled in pencil. Stamped 'FEDERAL ART PROJECT NYC WPA' in the bottom left margin. A fine, richly-inked impression, with all the fine lines printing clearly, on cream wove paper, with full margins (1 1/2 to 3 inches), in excellent condition. Matted to museum standards, unframed. Scarce.
Image size 11 x 8 1/8 inches; sheet size 16 x 11 3/8 inches.
Created during the Great Depression for the Works Progress Administration (WPA), Federal Art Project, New York City.
Impressions of this work are in the permanent collections of the Amon Carter Museum of Art, Illinois State Museum, and the New York Public Library.
ABOUT THE IMAGE
Due to Coney Island's proximity to Manhattan, Brooklyn, and other New York boroughs, it began attracting vacationers in the 1830s and 1840s. Most of the vacationers were wealthy and went by carriage roads and steamship services that reduced travel time from a formerly half-day journey to two hours. By the late 1870s, the development of Coney Island's amusement park attractions and hotels drew people from all social classes. When the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company electrified the steam railroads and connected Brooklyn to Manhattan via the Brooklyn Bridge at the beginning of the 20th century, Coney Island turned rapidly from a resort to an accessible location for day-trippers seeking to escape the summer heat in New York City's tenements. In 1915, the Sea Beach Line was upgraded to a subway line, and the opening of the Stillwell Avenue station in 1919 ushered in Coney Island's busiest era. On the peak summer days, over a million people would travel to Coney Island. In 1937, New York City purchased a 400-foot-wide strip of land along the shoreline to allow the boardwalk to be moved 300 feet inland. At this point, Coney Island was so crowded on summer weekends that parks commissioner Robert Moses...
