Hermann Urban Art

1866-1948

Hermann Urban, even if he was born in America, was deeply related to Germany, from which his family came from. He moved, in fact, to Münich to study at the Academy of Fine Arts following the courses of Johann Caspar Herteich and Willhelm von Diez and he lived until his death in Bad Aibling. The Italian trip was fundamental for the development of his career and art, especially the Florentine experience, where he met Arnold Böckling. His works of art can be found in lots of important museums, mostly in Germany and Adolf Hitler was a careful collector of his paintings. The subjects preferred by Urban were elegiac landscapes and ruins, characterized by a technique composed of pasty brush strokes, with Impressionist echoes, and a rich and pure palette.

Winter in Provence

By Raymond Debieve

Located in London, GB

'Winter in Provence', gouache on art paper, by Raymond Debiève (circa 1970s). There is both beauty and melancholy in this delightfully charming artwork. The artist's naive style is at odds with the refinement, poise and sophistication of the painting. Perhaps the artist was making a statement as well with the broken wall...

1940s WPA Watercolor by Charles Ragland Bunnell, Golden Cycle Mill, Colorado

By Charles Ragland Bunnell

Located in Denver, CO

This original 1940s grayscale watercolor by Charles Ragland Bunnell depicts a semi-abstracted view of the Golden Cycle Mill in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Rendered in subtle gradations of black and gray, the composition reflects the influence of WPA-era Modernism, combining industrial subject matter with expressive abstraction. The work is a notable example of mid-20th-century American Regionalism, capturing both a sense of place and a forward-looking artistic vision. Bunnell’s restrained palette and simplified architectural forms transform the industrial landscape into a dynamic modern composition, emphasizing structure, rhythm, and atmosphere. The subject references the Golden Cycle Mining and Reduction Company, a major contributor to Colorado’s early 20th-century mining industry, located in what is now Old Colorado City. Through this modernist lens, the painting documents an important chapter of Western industrial history. The watercolor measures 8 1/8 x 9 5/8 inches (sight size) and is presented in a custom black frame measuring 18 x 19 ½ x 1 ⅜ inches, making it a refined, display-ready piece for collectors of American Modern art, WPA works, and industrial landscapes. Charles Ragland Bunnell (1897–1968) was a pioneering Colorado modernist, New Deal art...
