About the Painting
From a distance, Beckwith deftly captures the spectacle of a Hollywood premiere. But we have not been invited to the party. Our view is from the shadows of a less glamorous neighborhood with a shaggy, unkept palm tree and rundown buildings in the shadows. We look down through the darkness past a packed parking lot to the bright lights of two iconic Hollywood landmarks, the Pantages Theater and the Broadway Building. Completed in 1930, the Pantages was built as an exuberant Art Deco movie palace, while the Broadway Building housed an upscale department store which catered to entertainment industry elites who were less impacted by the Great Depression than the common man, since movies had become the mainstay of popular culture entertainment during the 1930s with large numbers of Americans looking to immerse themselves in Hollywood escapism. Here, in a rare Los Angeles urban image, Beckwith combines that Hollywood fantasy with the more sobering foreground images which could have been pulled from the L.A. Noire fiction of Raymond Chandler...

Dusk Forest Scene, Catskills by Lockwood DeForest (American, 1850-1932)
Located in New York, NY
"Dusk Forest Scene, Catskills," 1875 by Hudson River School painter Lockwood DeForest (American, 1850-1932) is oil on artists card-stock and measures 9.5 x 7 inches. The work is signed by DeForest, and dated May 13, 1875 at lower right. The work is framed in an elegant, period appropriate frame, and ready to hang.
Lockwood de Forest was born in New York in 1850 to a prominent family. He grew up in Greenwich Village and on Long Island at the family summer estate in Cold Spring Harbor. As was customary for a cultivated family in the Gilded Age, the de Forests made frequent trips abroad. Excursions to the great museums, which were prominent on the de Forests agenda, deepened the young Lockwood's familiarity with European painting and sculpture. Though he had begun drawing and painting somewhat earlier, it was during a visit to Rome in 1868 that nineteen-year-old de Forest first began to study art seriously, taking painting lessons from the Italian landscapist Hermann David Salomon Corrodi (1844–1905). More importantly, on the same trip, Lockwood met one of America’s most celebrated painters, (and his maternal great-
uncle by marriage) Frederic Edwin Church (1826–1900), who quickly became his mentor. DeForest accompanied Church on sketching trips around Italy and continued this practice when they both returned to America in 1869. Early on in his career, de Forest made a habit of recording the date and often the place of his oil sketches, as to create a visual diary of his travels. Lockwood’s profession as a landscape painter can be primarily attributed to Frederic E. Church and his belief in the young artist’s talent.
De Forest often visited Church in the Hudson River community of Catskill where, in addition to sketching trips and afternoons of painting, he assisted with the architectural drawings and planning of Olana. In 1872, de Forest took a studio at the Tenth Street Studio Building in New York. During these formative years de Forest counted among his friend’s artists such as Sanford Robinson Gifford (1823–80), George Henry Yewell (1830–1923), John Frederick Kensett (1816–72), Jervis McEntee (1828–91), and Walter Launt Palmer (1854–1932).
Over the next decade de Forest experienced success as a painter. He exhibited for the first time at the National Academy of Design in 1872, and made two more painting trips abroad, in 1875–76 and 1877–78, traveling to the major continental capitals but also the Middle East and North Africa. His trip to the Middle East and the library at Church’s home, Olana, established his interest in design during his mid-twenties. From about 1878 to 1902, landscape painting was overshadowed by his activities and preoccupation with East Indian architecture and décor, a style that became quite fashionable in late nineteenth century America. From 1879-1883, de Forest founded Associated Artists along with Louis Comfort Tiffany, Candace Wheeler...

American Modernist Town Scene Painting by Pennsylvania artist Joseph M. Plavcan
Located in Baltimore, MD
This colorful late spring scene is most likely around Erie, Pennsylvania. Artist and teacher Joseph M. Plavcan generally painted around the area in which he lived for over 50 years.
Joseph Michael Plavcan was born near Pittsburg, in Braddock. He attended the Pennsylvania Academy in 1926, studying with renowned New Hope artist Daniel Garber. Through a scholarship, he went to Europe to study. He returned to Erie in 1932 and became an art instructor, teaching for the next 38 years. Plavcan went far beyond teaching trade school requirements and instilled a true sense of sophisticated artistry in his students. During his artistic career, he exhibited often in Philadelphia, Washington, New York and Chicago.
This painting, oil on canvas, demonstrates Plavcan’s style, utilizing figurative abstraction with a modernist color palette. The paint is not over applied and areas are treated with smooth broad brush strokes. The hint of late blooming leaves are dashes of paint applied in a fast yet confident manner. Plavcan’s sense of light, demonstrated in the distant church tower is spot on.
While not signed, there are two official estate stamps on the reverse that attest to the authenticity of Plavcan’s work. The piece measures 16” x 20” and appears to be canvas applied to a back board. This was likely done by the former retailer, Hudson House Galleries in Hagerstown, Maryland. That shop was a fine regional art gallery and antiques shop for decades until its closure about five years ago. The painting is nicely framed in a modernist gold wood frame with a subtle pink liner. The overall framed dimensions are about 20” x 24”. The painting is in very good condition, bright and crisp. There is a very minor vertical crease above the peak of the house that is truly barely noticeable from any distance. Other than that, all is fine with the work and its frame.

Stylish Hawaiian Luau Oil Painting by Listed artist Mario Larrinaga (1895-1979)
Located in Baltimore, MD
Mario Larrinaga was born in Baja California in 1895 and moved with his brother to Los Angeles in 1909.

Eric Sloane (American, 1905-1985)
Oil on board
Signed front and back
6 1/2 x 13 (11 1/2 x 18 frame) inches
Artist, author and folklorist, Eric Sloane, is best known for his paintings of New England farmscapes and his illustrated books of early Americana. As a visitor and eventual resident of New Mexico, he also is considered an important artist of the Southwest.
Sloane was born Everard Jean Hinrichs to a prosperous family in New York City. As a youngster, he learned lettering and sign painting from his neighbor, Frederic Goudy, a noted type designer. In 1925 Hinrichs left home in a Model T Ford, and made his way across the country earning money as a sign painter. The next year he landed in Taos where he met members of the art colony, painted signs, as well as a few of his earliest pictures.
Back in New York, Hinrichs continued his sign painting career. Among his clients were many of the early aviation pioneers at Roosevelt Field, Long Island who asked him to paint names and identifying marks on their aircraft. Wiley Post not only was a client, but also taught Hinrichs to fly, instilling a life-long love of the aesthetics and science of clouds and sky. Amelia Earhart is said to have purchased one of his first cloud paintings.
In the mid-1930s Hinrichs studied at the Art Students League under John Sloan. As part of his transformation from sign painter to fine artist, he adopted the name “Sloane” in homage to his mentor, and the name Eric from the middle letters of “America.”
Settling in New Milford, Connecticut, Sloane quickly became a highly skilled and phenomenally prolific painter of the rural landscapes and colonial architecture of New England. He painted in a detailed, realistic style with a slightly choppy brush technique that enhanced the rustic quality of his subject matter. Slone reportedly painted 15,000 pictures over his career, averaging almost one per day.
In the early 1940s, Sloane’s interest in meteorology resulted in publication of several books on weather and clouds. In the 1950s he began his meticulous documentation of colonial architecture, tools, and folklore, resulting in a series of books that he both wrote and illustrated. The most famous of these include: A Reverence for Wood, Our Vanishing Landscape, A Museum of Early American Tools, American Barns and Covered Bridges, and Diary of an Early American Boy: Noah Blake – 1805. In all, Sloane produced 35 books, many of which are still in print. His vast collection of tools, which served as models for many illustrations, became the nucleus of the Sloane-Stanley Tool...

Lone Summer Rider
By Eric Sloane
Located in Milford, NH
A fine landscape with a cowboy on horseback riding the ridge with powerful clouds behind him by American artist Eric Sloane (1905-1985). Sloane was born Everard Jean Hinrichs in New York City and took an early interest in art, spending many boyhood hours with neighbor and noted font inventor Frederic Goudy. From Goudy, he learned to hand paint letters and signs. He established several aviation clients from Roosevelt Field, Long Island, painting the identifying marks on their planes. From these connections, he learned to fly and developed his love for clouds and sky from this newfound passion. One of his early clients, Amelia Earhardt, purchased his first cloud painting, and Sloane is said to be the finest cloud painter of his generation. His largest cloud painting graces the entire wall of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. Sloane is also known as being the foremost authority on early American rural architecture and early American tools, with many books published on each subject. Oil on masonite, signed lower left, titled on verso “Lone Summer Rider,” inscribed “Fenn Gallery, Santa Fe” on verso and frame, and framed in a complimenting barn board...
