Bruno Croatto Figurative Paintings

1875-1948

Bruno Croatto became a pupil of Gabriel Hackl at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts but studied the Impressionists and the great masters of the 15th century. He painted figures, landscapes and flowers but his talent emerged in etchings and aquatints, in which, neglecting the drawing, he seeks only color and chiaroscuro effects. He exhibited in Monaco, Trieste, Paris, Venice, Rome, London, Prague and Vienna. In 1930, he held a personal exhibition at the Camera degli Artisti in Rome with more than 100 works among paintings and etchings. His works are preserved in the Prints Cabinet in the Corsini Museum in Rome, in Valle Giulia and in the Uffizi Gallery and in public collections in New York and England. One of his still life paintings is preserved at the Modern Art Gallery in Milan.

Still Life with Buddha and Pomegranates - Painting by Bruno Croatto - 1944

By Bruno Croatto

Located in Roma, IT

In this work we find the image of the Buddha and several pomegranates, symbolizing fertility. The choice of combining objects and materials of different nature becomes an unmistakable feature of his style. A taste for the intrinsic qualities of different materials, specifically chosen for their characteristics of gloss transparency and sphericity, not least, the optical precision with which the different surfaces are rendered. Croatto creates images where reality is transformed into a magical and suspended atmosphere. Bruno Croatto...

"Concert" Early 20th Century WPA Modernism American City Landscape Scene Ashcan

By Michael Loew

Located in New York, NY

"Concert" Early 20th Century WPA Modernism American City Landscape Scene Ashcan The size of the canvas 28 3/4 x 43 1/4 inches. The painting comes directly from the artist's estate. It is signed lower right as well as signed, titled and dated verso. We have available more than two dozen paintings and works on paper from the 1930s - 80s that come directly from the Loew estate. BIO Michael Loew (1907 – 1985) was the son of a New York City baker. After high school, he was an apprentice to a stained-glass maker, and from 1926-1929, he studied at the Art Students League. In 1929, he traveled to Paris, North Africa, Germany, and Italy with a group of artists. When he returned to New York City in 1931, the Great Depression hit Loew unexpectedly, and for the next two years he paid his apartment rent with his paintings. In 1935, he found work with the WPA where he painted murals and partnered up with longtime friend Willem de Kooning in 1939 on a mural for the Hall of Pharmacy at the New York World’s Fair. Their friendship lasted for the rest of their lives. In the mid-30’s he painted in Mexico and the Yucatán documenting the construction of a U.S. Naval airbase on Tinian Island. It was from this airbase that the Enola...
