Adrian Gottlieb Figurative Paintings

American, b. 1975

Artist Adrian Gottlieb is primarily known for his figurative and portrait paintings, but his impressive repertoire also includes still lifes. While his paintings may have a deceptively light and easy quality about them, a deep mastery of the craft reveals itself upon closer inspection.

Gottlieb's artistry is underpinned by an extensive education in fine arts. He earned a degree in illustration from Rochester Institute of Technology while spending summers at Charles H. Cecil Studios in Florence, Italy. Upon graduation, he subsequently studied drawing and classic painting at the Florence Academy of Art for three years. 

One of Gottlieb’s best-known pieces is a 2014 portrait of American politician and fine arts patron Michael Huffington. Another recognizable painting is a 2018 portrait of former Nevada governor Brian Sandoval, which is now held in the collection of the Nevada State Capitol Building. "[Sandoval] knew he had found the painter he wanted to capture his legacy when he talked with Adrian Gottlieb, who insisted the outgoing governor sit for him in person for 60 hours, or he wouldn’t take the job," the Nevada Independent reported.

Gottlieb currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California.

Located in New York, NY

Tyrus Wong Original set illustration from "Gone With The Wind", 1939 Signed lower right Oil on panel 6 x 8 3/4 inches Tyrus Wong’s life embodies a remarkable journey of perseverance, talent, and artistic achievement. Born in China, he immigrated to the United States at the age of nine after being separated from his mother, whom he would never see again. Reunited with his father in Sacramento, Wong later relocated to Los Angeles, where the two lived in modest circumstances within a boarding house in Chinatown. His father nurtured his artistic abilities by encouraging him to practice Chinese calligraphy and helping him secure small painting jobs in the neighborhood. Recognizing his exceptional talent, one of Wong’s teachers recommended him for a summer scholarship at the Otis Art Institute. He became the youngest recipient of the award and later earned a full scholarship, offsetting tuition costs through work performed on campus. After completing his studies in 1930, Wong supported himself through a variety of artistic jobs, including creating advertisements and working at the popular Dragon’s Den restaurant in Chinatown. During the Great Depression, he found employment through the Federal Art Project, producing paintings for government-sponsored programs. His career took a pivotal turn when he joined Walt Disney Studios. There, his atmospheric pastel studies for Bambi impressed Walt Disney and helped shape the film’s distinctive visual style. Wong’s contributions to the film’s backgrounds were instrumental to its success, earning him posthumous recognition as a Disney Legend in 2001. Following labor disputes at Disney, he left the studio before Bambi was released and continued his career at Warner Bros. and Republic Studios, creating concept art for films including Rebel Without a Cause, Around the World in 80 Days, Sands of Iwo Jima, and The Wild Bunch. He retired from the film industry in 1968. Alongside his Hollywood career, Wong remained deeply involved in Southern California’s art community. He exhibited regularly in galleries and museums and participated in artist-run initiatives such as Eleven Associated, a cooperative gallery active during the early 1950s. Best known for his watercolor paintings and ceramics, Wong developed a unique artistic language that blended traditional Chinese brush techniques with modern American aesthetics. Influenced by his teacher Stanton Macdonald-Wright, he combined expressive calligraphic brushwork with depictions of nature and movement. His artistic versatility extended beyond fine art into commercial design, where he created popular Christmas card imagery and dinnerware patterns for Winfield Pottery...
