Gérard Blain Art

French, b. 1938

Gérard Blain, a passionate and talented artist, was born in 1938. He is an artist with an atypical career. Coming from a modest family, having stopped very early in his studies, he became a waiter, a job he would do for many years before opening his restaurant with his wife. In parallel, he writes, draws and paints and even tries to sculpt. This self-taught artist learned by mimicry, reproducing the great masters but also his cat in motion. His style has evolved over time and especially since the death of his wife. Before, Blain painted what he saw — now he paints what he feels. This overflowing creativity has become a necessary means of expression. After a darker phase in his work, Blain now focuses on humorous drawings, not unlike an artist whom he particularly admires, Sempé.

By Viktor Schreckengost
Located in Beachwood, OH
Viktor Schreckengost (American, 1906-2008) Mayan Watercolor heightened with gouache over pencil on paper Signed lower right 39 x 29 inches 45.5 x 35.5 inches, framed Registered with The Viktor Schreckengost foundation, stock no. 6891 The son of a commercial potter in Sebring, Ohio, Viktor Schreckengost learned the craft of sculpting in clay from his father. In the mid-1920s, he enrolled at the Cleveland School of Art (now the Cleveland Institute of Art, or CIA) to study cartoon making, but after seeing an exhibition at the Cleveland Museum of Art he changed his focus to ceramics. Upon graduation in 1929, he studied ceramics in Vienna, Austria, where he began to build a reputation, not only for his art, but also as a jazz saxophonist. A year later, at the age of 25, he became the youngest faculty member at the CIA. In 1931, Schreckengost won the first of several awards for excellence in ceramics at the Cleveland Museum of Art, and his works were shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, and elsewhere. By the mid-1930s, Schreckengost had begun to pursue his interest in industrial design. For American Limoges...
