George Petridis Paintings

1940-2016

George Petridis was born in Athens, Greece. His early life was a time of strife, fist living through the Nazi occupation, then the Greek Civil War. Around the age of 18, Petridis moved to Holland and began to paint after becoming involved with a woman whose father was an artist that offered to train Petridis in his studio. Petridis then moved to Paris and began selling his art on the streets, which initially got him arrested, as he was doing too without the proper permits. Later on, Petridis moved to the United States, where he continued to pursue his passion as an artist. His daughter, Melanie Petridis, wrote a book about his life, entitled Destiny of an Artist - The Artistic Journey of George Petridis. Petridis passed away on July 4th, 2016, and his ashes have been returned to his home country of Greece.

"Mountain Lake in Autumn" American Mid Century Oil Painting on Canvas Landscape
"Mountain Lake in Autumn" American Mid Century Oil Painting on Canvas Landscape

"Mountain Lake in Autumn" American Mid Century Oil Painting on Canvas Landscape

By Marie Berger

Located in New York, NY

A wonderful depiction of mountain lake landscape in the country side. For this beautiful depiction of the mountains, we find distinct elements that are unique to the earlier works of Marie Berger. Among other things, Marie Berger's art is notable for its surrealist elements. In Still Life with Figure in a Desert Landscape, for example, she combines the seemingly incongruous images of a foreground still life composition with the almost infinite lines of perspective of the desert environment. The final result is one of provoking imagery and emotion. With joyful colors, this piece is filled with bold brushstrokes and impressive marks. Comes housed in a gold tone wood frame decorated with finely carved botanical elements and it is ready to hang with wire on verso. Art measures 16 x 20 inches Framed measures 19 x 23 inches A native of Fort Worth, Marie Friedman Berger was born March 9, 1913, the daughter of Will and Minnie Cohen Friedman. She was a graduate of Central High School, now R. L. Paschal, and attended Washington University, St. Louis School of Art. Marie married Jack Henry Berger on June 21, 1939, in Dallas; a marriage that lasted nearly 61 years. Mr. Berger died in 2000. Marie was an internationally renowned artist. Her works have been published by the Metropolitan Art Gallery of New York and shown as one of America's only artists in Italian art galleries. She was a recipient of the annual Benedictine Art Award. For many years she worked along side her late husband operating the Fashion Furniture Gallery on Camp Bowie Blvd. Marie Berger was a longtime member of Beth-El Congregation and she was also a full member of the Texas Fine Arts Association (Regional Director) and the Texas Watercolor Society. Among the awards presented to her for her art were the Benedictine Award, New York, and the Texas Fine Arts Jurors Award. She also owned and managed the Marie Berger Gallery, Fort Worth, which promoted the works of many rising American and Mexican artists during the 1950's and 1960's. She studied at Texas Christian University, and then at the St. Louis School of Fine Art and at Washington University, Missouri, which was founded as the Saint Louis School and Museum of Fine Arts in 1879 as part of Washington University in St. Louis. Her most common media is the use of oil, acrylic, watercolor, etching, lithograph, collagraph. During her successful career, she exhibited internationally at such institutions as the Bateau Lavar Gallery, Rome, the Rassagna permanente d'arte contemporanea, Veterbo, Italy, the Laguna Gloria, Austin, Texas, the Oklahoma Art...
