Antoni Pitxot Art

Spanish, 1934-2015
Dalí's friend and collaborator and member of a family of artists, the artistic production of Antoni Pitxot (Figueres, 1934) starts from a realistic brushstroke of expressionist roots that, When the 1960s arrived and having decided to settle permanently in Cadaqués, he left to immerse himself fully in surrealism. Through a complex creative process ―the artist elaborates sculptural models made with stones from L'Empordà and Cadaqués that, taking into account their anthropomorphic significance, become the starting point for his pictorial work―, the exhibition traces an itinerary through the different themes worked on by the painter, such as the allegory of music or the allegory of memory and time. Born into a family with an artistic tradition and closely related to the Dalí family (it is his uncle Ramon Pitxot, who makes Dalí discover impressionism and determines his vocation as a painter), he lives with his family in San Sebastián from 1946 to 1964. There he has as a drawing teacher Juan Núñez Fernández, who had also been one years before Dalí in Figueres. In the 1950s, while practicing expressionist realism, he made himself known with various exhibitions in San Sebastián, Barcelona, ​​Madrid, Bilbao or Lisbon. In 1964 he settled permanently in the family home in Cadaqués. In this period, his work undergoes a decisive turn, since it directs attention to the study of the objects in his environment: the stones of Cadaqués, from which he gives rise to anamorphic, anthropomorphic and allegorical visions, with which he connects with a current underground of Western painting that ranges from certain masters of Italian Mannerism to Surrealism. Also during these years, rebuilding old family ties, she began her relationship with Dalí, which culminated in a lasting friendship.

At the Yacht Club

Located in Costa Mesa, CA
Artist Edward Cucuel and his wife Clara Lotte von Marcard spent their first two decades together in Germany, mostly in a villa on Lake Ammersee in Holzhausen near Munich. It is the works created in this period, mainly outdoor scenes of young women in fashionable attire of the day, that are most collected and appreciated among his works. It’s easy to see why- they capture an elegance and sense of calm and easy leisure- of long days in gardens or by the water.  This is one of those captured moments with a well-dressed woman watching the sailing yacht...

Impressionist Painting of a Bohemian Woman Budapest 1925 Bertha De Hellebranth
Located in Rochester, NY
Bohemian woman Budapest, Hungary 1925 by Bertha De Hellebranth. Fabulous period painting brings to life the bohemian intelligentsia of Europe in the 1920's. I believe the painting is of the artists sister Elena Maria De Hellebranth. Both sisters were accomplished artist and worked and exhibited together. See the photo of the sisters Elena on the left and Bertha on the right. Oil on canvas. In a period frame. Signed lower right. Inscribed on reverse. Provenance: label from Newman Galleries Philadelphia. BIOGRAPHY ; Bertha de Hellebranth and her sister Elena were born into a cultured upper-class family in Budapest, Bertha in 1899, Elena in 1897. Their father was a lawyer and their mother a student of Franz Liszt's last living pupil. Both sisters showed artistic potential early, beginning to paint at four or five years of age. Their parents encouraged them, and had the means to send them to the best art schools of the time. They studied at the Academy of Fine Art in Budapest, at the Académie Julian and the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris, and painted portraits of European nobility. As Patricia Fazekas points out, "Growing up in a family of privilege, they seemed to have unusual access to many illustrious people." So we should not be surprised to find among their subjects members of high society, such as Count Andrássy Gyula, the Russian-born Princess Baby Galitzine, and Admiral Horthy Miklós, the Regent. Later on, their subjects included American heiress Gladys Vanderbilt (Countess László Széchenyi), President Theodore Roosevelt's granddaughter Paulina Longworth and former President Dwight D. Eisenhower.Often, the sisters would paint the same subject at the same time, offering the sitter a choice of portraits. Most often, the sitter wanted both renditions.While Elena concentrated on working in oil and watercolor, Bertha used gouache and oil to achieve her effects. Elena gave lectures and workshops, was a writer and also wrote popular and ecclesiastical music, while Bertha also went in for sculpture and handicrafts.From the mid-thirties until World War II, Bertha and Elena divided their time between their home in Budapest and a home on the ocean at Ventnor, NJ. In 1925, they showed their work at the Nemzeti Szalon in Budapest, and in 1926, they had a joint exhibition of their portraits in the US. Both exhibited their work at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and most major museums and galleries in the US. Bertha also had exhibits at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Both Bertha and Elena were Fellows of the Royal Society of Art (London), and garnered numerous prizes. Bertha was awarded First Prize by the National Academy of the American Water Color Society one year, and the Grand Prize of the Audubon Society. She was one of the founders of the now defunct World League of Hungarian Artists Abroad (Külföldi Magyar Képz?m?vészek Világszövetsége), and received a Gold Medal from the Cleveland Árpád Akadémia in 1963. (Elena also received the Akadémia's gold medal in 1965.) Their work is found in museums and galleries too numerous to mention.The de Hellebranth sisters were devout Catholics, and this is evident in their many portraits of clerics...
