Bela de Tirefort Art

American, 1894-1993
Bela de Tirefort was born in Eastern Europe, painted in New York City, and retired to St. Petersburg, Florida. Known for his striking New York scenes, de Tirefort left an enduring record of the metropolis between the 1930s and ’50s. Using muted tones, strong silhouettes, and incisive textures, his paintings capture the structure of the city in the decades between the Great Depression, the Second World War, and the growth of the New York art scene. He often depicted the areas surrounding the Flatiron Building, Broadway, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the New York Harbor and sold many of his paintings directly from Washington Square.

"Yellow Sky" Oil on Canvas by Jerome Gastaldi #2

Located in Pasadena, CA

This painting features a yellow sky (as Gastaldi named it) and it is part of 3. The #1 one is featuring a red sky and the third one is the desert light. #1 and 2 show the strength of nature with vigorous large brush strokes and bright colors whereas the colors of #3 depicting the desert light, are more muted and reflect perfectly the desert atmosphere before a storm. See, attached the pictures of the 2 matching ones. Jerome Gastaldi, born in Oakland, California, in 1945, is a contemporary artist.

By Nancy Bailey

Located in Sutton Poyntz, Dorset

Nancy Bailey. English ( b.1913 - d.2012 ). Low Tide On The Minnows, Cornwall, 1972. Oil On Canvas. Signed Lower Right. Image size 19.3 inches x 39.4 inches ( 49cm x 100cm ). Frame size 25.4 inches x 45.3 inches ( 64.5cm x 115cm ). Available for sale; this original impasto oil painting is by the Cornish artist Nancy Bailey and is dated 1972. The painting is presented and supplied in its original frame (which is shown in these photographs). The painted surface has benefitted from a light clean and a new preserving varnish coat has been applied. This vintage painting is in very good condition, commensurate with its age. It wants for nothing and is supplied ready to hang and display. The painting is signed lower right and on the reverse it is titled and signed again. Nancy Bailey was born in 1913 and started her working life at the age of 15. As a teenager she used her father’s camera to take photographs of West Country views, many of which were used to produce postcards, which sold throughout the country. This early talent demonstrated her knowledge and appreciation of light and composition that later enabled her to create the beautiful paintings for which she became internationally renowned. Her family moved frequently throughout the south west, before settling in Ireland where for thirteen years she produced high quality marquetry pictures, which sold all over the world. Nancy only started painting seriously when she returned to Cornwall in her fifties. Her painting career, though started somewhat late, continued over forty years. Nancy worked with a palette knife and never used a brush. This gives her work its distinctive texture and captures the landscape and light. Nancy became acclaimed as one of the leading palette knife artists in the UK. Although Nancy travelled widely, including a safari trip to South Africa with the acclaimed nature artist David Shepherd her best work is arguably of the coasts and rivers of the West Country, which she loved so much. Nancy died in 2012, since when demand for her original works has increased. © Big Sky Fine Art The Minnows Islands are a group of large rocks...
