New Orleans Packet - Eclipse

By Julian Nemethy

Located in Saratoga Springs, NY

Julien Nemethy (b. 1948) New Orleans Packet – Eclipse, 1999 Oil on canvas Sight: 22 x 28 in.; Frame: 26 x 32 in. Julien Nemethy’s New Orleans Packet – Eclipse is a richly detailed and atmospheric tribute to the golden age of American river travel, rendered with the artist’s characteristic precision and historical sensitivity. Set against a softly illuminated shoreline, the steamboat Eclipse emerges as both a technological marvel and a cultural emblem, its tiered decks, plume of smoke, and bustling activity captured with documentary clarity. Nemethy’s controlled palette—warm umbers, riverine blues, and the glow of late‑day light—infuses the composition with a sense of nostalgia, transforming the vessel into a symbol of movement, commerce, and the romance of the Mississippi. A superb example of the artist’s mature work, the painting demonstrates his ability to merge narrative realism with painterly refinement, offering a scene that is at once historically grounded and visually compelling. Provenance: Private collection, United States. Condition: The canvas presents in excellent overall condition with strong surface integrity and no visible restoration under normal viewing. Notes: Nemethy’s riverboat...

Armenia

Julian Nemethy, Steamboat "Armenia" on the Hudson River Oil on canvas, Overall size is24 x 38 inches Julian Nemethy’s Steamboat "Armenia" is a masterful example of American folk art painting, celebrating the rich history of 19th-century Hudson River steamboat travel. This vibrant oil on canvas captures the iconic paddle steamer Armenia in motion, its sidewheel churning through stylized waves beneath a dramatic sky. With meticulous attention to detail, Nemethy evokes the golden age of river commerce, blending historical accuracy with artistic charm. The painting’s composition features hallmark elements of Americana: the steamboat’s ornate structure, billowing smokestacks, and patriotic American flag signal a proud moment in New York’s transportation heritage. Autumnal trees and a distant riverside building anchor the scene in the Hudson Valley, making this work especially resonant for collectors of regional art and maritime history. Nemethy’s folk art style—characterized by flattened perspective, decorative surface treatment, and narrative clarity—echoes the traditions of 19th-century ship portraiture and itinerant painters. His use of bold color and rhythmic patterning enhances the visual storytelling, making Armenia a compelling centerpiece for any collection focused on American riverboats, steamboat paintings...

Japan Japanese Garden by French naive outsider folk art primitive artist, 1975

By Maurice Loirand

Located in Norwich, GB

A perfect painting for lovers of Japan and those of primitive/naive outside art. It is a work by an internatoanlly noted extraordinary artist with an extraordinary life. Maurice LOIRAND (1922-2008) is born into a working class family in Brittany, near the Atlantic coast coast in France. He starts working as a skilled labourer in the shipyards aged 15. Aged 20, when the Nazis start to occupy the country, he joins the Resistance movement, where he meets and befriends thinkers, painters and poets. He is thus introduced to an artistic and intellectual universe far removed from the world of his origins. Loirand finds himself drawn to art, and soon dedicates all his free time to learn how to paint. Completely self taught, he soon begins to exhibit his pictures alongside high level artists. He moves to Paris in the 1950s, and - although still working as a technician - paints all night. He finally becomes a full time artist in 1968. International travel and a multitude of exhibitions follow. He exhibits in Brazil, Argentina, and with Jean Tiroche Gallery in New York, among others. His work is now shown alongside works by Leger, Matisse and Picasso. The Collector's Guild New York Ltd commissions Maurice Loirand for several works of lithographic art. Loirand discovers Japan in the early 1970s, and decides to stay for 18 years. He marries Kazué SHIMOTORI, a Japanese poet...

Transport

By Julian Nemethy

Located in Saratoga Springs, NY

Signed lower left. In this richly imaginative painting by Julian Nemethy reimagines the Hudson River day liner not merely as a vessel of transport, but as a dreamscape in motion. The steamboat, rendered with meticulous precision, glides through a river that shimmers magically—beneath a sky alive with imaginative playful clouds Nemethy’s signature style is on full display: whimsical flourishes, exaggerated perspectives, and a near-naïve attention to detail that invites the viewer into a world where nostalgia and fantasy intertwine. The day liner becomes a symbol of freedom and wonder, a floating stage for the American imagination. It’s a celebration of movement, memory, and the enduring romance of the Hudson. Contemporary artist Julian Nemethy is the son of artist Albert Nemethy, and his work can be distinguished from that of his father by the use of fantastical elements, extreme use of color and detail, and whimsical touches. Julian Nemethy is one of the many artists in the Nemethy family. Born in Hungary, his parents fled the Communist regime in the mid-1950s when Julian was a small child. He was one of six siblings who were raised by their father. In high school, Julian taught himself to paint, and felt he had found his vocation. In the 1980s, he moved to the Smokey Mountains of...
