Small Fauvist River Landscape Painting with Boat, Expressionist Oil on Panel Medium: Oil on panel Dimensions: 26 x 33 cm (10.24 x 13 in) Framing: Unframed Signature: Signed lower left Date: c.2020 Condition: Good condition. Stable support and well-preserved paint layer. A vibrant small-scale landscape painting depicting a river scene with a boat, industrial architecture and simplified human figures. Executed with a loose and expressive brushwork, the composition reflects a strong fauvist and expressionist influence. The artist uses bold contrasts of reds, yellows, greens and blues to create a dynamic and almost naïve atmosphere, reminiscent of early 20th-century European modernism reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Despite its modest size, the painting has a strong visual presence, making it ideal for collectors of small-format works or for curated gallery wall compositions. Vladimir Ksieski...

By Joan Vives Maristany

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Mediterranean Beach Picnic Scene with Figures Spanish Impressionist Coastal Oil Painting on Panel c.1990 Artist: Joan Vives Maristany (Spanish) Title: Merienda en la playa Date: c.1990 Medium: Oil on panel Dimensions (image): Height: 15.5 cm (6.11 in); Width: 32 cm (12.6 in) Signature: Signed lower left Condition: Good overall condition consistent with age and medium Frame: Unframed Origin: Spain Style: Impressionist Mediterranean coastal scene Period: Late 20th century (1990–1999) Subject: Beach picnic with figures, Mediterranean shoreline gathering scene, small horizontal coastal oil painting Charming Mediterranean beach picnic scene painted with loose impressionist brushwork capturing a relaxed group gathered along the shoreline. The elongated horizontal composition reinforces the sense of coastal space and movement, while the quick painterly execution suggests plein-air observation typical of late 20th-century Spanish seaside painting traditions. Small-format coastal scenes with figures remain especially attractive to international collectors seeking authentic Mediterranean imagery that works easily in modern interiors or salon-style wall arrangements. Its compact scale and lively composition make it an ideal decorative yet collectible Spanish coastal painting.

Young Girl with Baby Oil Painting 1970s Spanish Impressionist Portrait Emotional

By Amadeo Freixas Vivo

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Young Girl with Baby Oil Painting 1970s Spanish Impressionist Portrait Emotional Figurative Artwork Medium: Oil on board Period: 1970–1979 Date: circa 1975 Condition: Good condition consistent with age Dimensions: Height: 46 cm (18.12 in) Width: 38 cm (14.97 in) Frame: Unframed Origin: Spain A tender and emotionally engaging oil painting depicting a young girl holding a baby, executed in Spain circa 1975. Rather than a traditional maternal scene, the composition captures a more unusual and compelling dynamic: a child caring for another child. This subtle shift introduces a layer of emotional complexity, where innocence and responsibility coexist. The girl’s expressive gaze becomes the central anchor of the composition, conveying a quiet intensity that draws the viewer in. The artist employs loose yet confident brushwork, with an earthy palette enriched by soft pink tones that enhance the warmth of the scene. This type of subject—intimate, psychological, and slightly unconventional—offers collectors something beyond decorative appeal: a narrative moment suspended in time. Its small scale further increases its charm and versatility, making it ideal for refined interiors or curated gallery walls. A distinctive example of late 20th-century Spanish figurative impressionism, with strong emotional resonance. Amadeo Freixas Vivo (1912–2004) was a Spanish painter known for his figurative and impressionist works. Throughout his career, he developed a personal style focused on intimate scenes and expressive portraiture, often exploring themes of everyday life and human emotion. girl with baby painting, figurative oil painting, spanish painting 1970s, impressionist portrait, child portrait painting...

Traffic Jam Saturday Evening Post cover, April 28, 1956

By Earl Mayan

Located in New Orleans, LA

Featured on the cover of the April 28, 1956 Saturday Evening Post, the comical illustration by American illustrator Earl Mayan chronicles a messy traffic jam. The traffic cop that is supposed to be operating the busy intersection’s stoplight is distracted by a group of young ladies nearby. He ignores his post, causing the gridlock and angering the motorists. American automobile culture reached its heyday in the 1950s. Here, the eye-catchingly colorful pile-up of cars echoes America’s growing love affair with this modern convenience, while Mayan’s humorous narrative highlights the inconveniences they sometimes bring. With a career that spanned the era of pulp magazines to the post-WWII years, Earl Mayan's oeuvre presents a colorful snapshot of mid-20th century American life. Born in 1916, he learned his trade at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, joining the field of pulp illustration after his graduation in 1936. When America joined the Second World War, Mayan enlisted in the Army, serving overseas from 1941-1945. Upon his return, he earned a number of important commissions for the Saturday Evening Post, painting ten Post covers in all and illustrating many of the stories that appeared inside the magazine. Much like Norman Rockwell and other master American illustrators of his era, Mayan worked from real-life photographs to achieve remarkable detail and realism in his works. Today, a portrait of César...
