Claude Muncaster Art

British, 1903-1974

At the age of 15, the career for landscape painter Claude Grahame Muncaster, RWS, ROI, RBA, SMA began, and he soon took to the seas, spending the 1920s and ‘30s traveling the world with his sketchbook in a series of vessels. With the outbreak of war, he joined the RNVR training as a navigator. Having left school at 15, his understanding of mathematics was very weak, and it was a relief for all when his artistic talents meant he was recruited as a camoufleur.

A master of capturing seascapes, Muncaster was, therefore, able to hide huge ships in plain sight with clever disguises. After the war, he painted for the Royal Family and was a frequent guest at Sandringham. Muncaster was a watercolorist known for his landscapes and maritime scenes.

Born Grahame Hall, Muncaster was the son of the Royal Academician Oliver Hall, who taught his son to paint from an early age. He first exhibited his work at 15 and a few years later was showing at the Royal Academy. However, he adopted the name Claude Muncaster in 1922 to dissociate his career from that of his father. Muncaster’s primary choice of subject matter came from a genuine love of the sea. He made several long-distance sea voyages, including one around the Horn as a deckhand in the windjammer Olivebank in 1931, which he described in Rolling Round the Horn, published in 1933. Armed with a sketchbook, Muncaster aimed to be able to paint ships and the sea with greater authority. This he certainly achieved, perfectly capturing the limpid first light of morning over the Port of Aden, the choppy rain-grey waters of the Bay of Biscay and a streak of sunlight through gathering storm clouds at dusk in Exeter.

Muncaster became an associate of the Royal Watercolour Society in 1931 and was a founding member, and later president, of the Royal Society of Marine Artists. During the Second World War, Muncaster served in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (RNVR) from 1940–44, training as a navigator before going on to advise on the camouflage of ships, and also worked as an official war artist. In 1946–47, he was commissioned by the Queen to produce watercolors of the royal residences at Windsor, Sandringham and Balmoral, the Duke of Edinburgh, in a foreword to a biography of Muncaster, recalls looking at these and considering the artist’s unerring instinct for a subject, his sense of atmosphere. Other commissions included large panoramas of the Thames and Bradford. Muncaster's career also included work as an etcher, illustrator, writer, lecturer and broadcaster, and his paintings can be found in the Royal Academy, Tate, National Maritime Museum Cornwall, National Railway Museum and Royal Air Force Museum.

Mario Larrinaga was born in Baja California in 1895 and moved with his brother to Los Angeles in 1909. He had no formal training in art, but had natural talent that was noticed by local movie studios. He was hired by Universal Studios as a designer, art director and creator of background scenes. He produced some of the background effects for King Kong in 1933. After a career in set design and illustration he focused on painting for pleasure in California, Mexico and Hawaii. He belonged to local art clubs and exhibited his works often. This stylized modernist work was likely created around 1960. It is oil on wood panel and of a horizontal format, 18” x 36”.

The Happy Farmer oil painting by Gregorio Prestopino
The Happy Farmer oil painting by Gregorio Prestopino

The Happy Farmer oil painting by Gregorio Prestopino

By Gregorio Prestopino

Located in Hudson, NY

Provenance: The Artist. Menikoff collection (friends of the artist) About this artist: Born in Little Italy in 1907, Gregorio Prestopino first set out to become a sign painter as the son of New York City immigrants. Instead, his talent provided a life-changing scholarship to the National Academy of Design, and for five years he studied drawing under C. W. Hawthorne. He spent the summer of 1934 at the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, New Hampshire. His deep involvement with the colony led him to later serve as its director in 1954. Much of Prestopino’s work was in the vein of social realism. During the 1940s and 1950s he became deeply invested in portraying everyday Manhattan and Harlem scenes. He first became interested in the Ashcan school at the National Academy of Design, and remained committed to an interest in working with urban scenes. His lively treatment of people and events revealed his affinity for sixteenth-century artist Pieter Breughel. Later in his career, he focused on producing images of nudes and picturesque New Hampshire landscapes, and investigated the relationship between color and form. Prestopino exhibited at several biennials at the Corcoran Gallery, at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art. His work was frequently shown at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, where he was awarded the Temple Gold Medal in 1946 and an additional prize in 1952. He was awarded a National Institute of Arts and Letter Grant in 1961, and in 1972 the National Academy of Design awarded him the Altman Figure Painting Award. Prestopino’s artistic cache skyrocketed when Life magazine published his images from New York’s maximum security institution Green Haven as part of its “Prison Series” in 1957. That same year his paintings and sketches of urban life were featured in the short film Harlem Wednesday. Directed by John and Faith Hubley...
