Adriaan Lubbers Art

Dutch

Adriaan Lubbers was born in The Netherlands and was the son of a well-to-do estate agent. As a young man, he studied mechanical engineering, which took him to South America from 1911–14. By 1914, he realized that he wanted to return to The Netherlands to fulfil his lifelong dream of becoming an artist. His early art career included exhibiting his works in March 1922 in Amsterdam. During that period he settled with other artists in a farmhouse at Vierhouten. There he met painter Leo Gestel with whom he travelled to New York. At 33, Lubbers produced his first drawings which depicted New York’s landmarks in a realistic style. In order to survive in New York City, Lubbers worked odd jobs to support himself and his work. According to Italo Tovolato, he was a worker in a factory, a joiner, a herring peddler, a mechanic and a cabaret singer in Hoboken harbor. Some of these places are represented in his work. Lubbers lived in New York fewer than six years, mostly from 1916 to 1919 and 1926 to 1928, but during these stays, he made not only paintings but also copious drawings. He married Miep Gantvoort in New York in 1922. Lubbers died suddenly in 1954 of a brain haemorrhage while visiting Manhattan. His works remain a great record of New York architecture.

Signed George Elbert Burr Winter Landscape Lithograph, Snow-Covered Trees

By George Elbert Burr

Located in Denver, CO

This original signed lithograph by acclaimed American artist George Elbert Burr (1859–1939) beautifully depicts a serene winter landscape with snow-covered trees. Burr’s masterful lithograph technique captures the delicate interplay of light, shadow, and snow, evoking the quiet stillness and crisp beauty of nature in winter. The image measures 7 ¼ by 10 ¼ inches and is presented in a custom archival frame with overall dimensions of 15 x 17 ¾ inches. The artist’s signature authenticates this fine example of early 20th-century American printmaking, making it an ideal addition to collections of Western art, winter landscapes, or vintage lithographs. Born in Ohio, Burr was largely self-taught, gaining recognition for his detailed etchings and lithographs that captured the American West’s rugged beauty. After years of travel across Europe and the U.S. Southwest, he created iconic series like Mountain Moods and the Desert Set...

ABOUT THE ARTIST Howard Norton Cook (1901-1980) was one of the best-known of the second generation of artists who moved to Taos. A native of Massachusetts, he studied at the Art Students League in New York City and at the Woodstock Art Colony. Beginning his association with Taos in 1926, he became a resident of the community in the 1930s. During his career, he received two Guggenheim Fellowships and was elected an Academician in the National Academy of Design. He earned a national reputation as a painter, muralist, and printmaker. Cook’s work in the print mediums received acclaim early in his career with one-person exhibitions at the Denver Art Museum (1927) and the Museum of New Mexico (1928). He received numerous honors and awards over the years, including selection in best-of-the-year exhibitions sponsored by the American Institute of Graphics Arts, the Brooklyn Museum, the Society of American Etchers, and the Philadelphia Print Club. His first Guggenheim Fellowship took him to Taxco, Mexico in 1932 and 1933; his second in the following year enabled him to travel through the American South and Southwest. Cook painted murals for the Public Works of Art Project in 1933 and the Treasury Departments Art Program in 1935. The latter project, completed in Pittsburgh, received a Gold Medal from the Architectural League of New York. One of his most acclaimed commissions was a mural in the San Antonio Post Office in 1937. He and Barbara Latham settled in Talpa, south of Taos, in 1938 and remained there for over three decades. Cook volunteered in World War II as an Artist War Correspondent for the US Navy, where he was deployed in the Pacific. In 1943 he was appointed Leader of a War Art Unit...
