Karl Kaufmann Art
Austrian, 1943-1901
Karl Kaufmann (Neuplachowitz, Austrian Silesia, 1843 - Vienna, 27 April 1901) was an Austrian landscape and architectural painter.
Austrian landscape and architectural painter Karl Kaufmann sought his artistic inspiration outside of his home country, drawing him to faraway places. Born in Neuplachowitz, Austrian Silesia, the artist found his motifs on trips that spanned the European continent. However, with his study trips to numerous countries, Kaufmann was not an isolated case - many of his contemporaries sought painting motifs outside their familiar surroundings and thus embarked on journeys of artistic discovery.
Karl Kaufmann's preferred artistic medium was oil paint, with which he painted his impressive landscapes and architectural views on canvas or wood panels. Kaufmann's naturalistic paintings tell stories of excursions to sunny fjord landscapes, strolls along dreamy coastlines, tell of the summer freshness of frozen mountain lakes, and visits to the cultural and commercial metropolises of his time. They report on Kaufmann's sojourns in Italy, Germany, Holland, Norway, and the Ottoman Empire. Among the artist's favorite motifs, however, are probably the veduta of the city of Venice, which he often lets shine in the warm light of the afternoon sun and executed in innumerable versions. There are also some historical views of the city of Istanbul, made by Karl Kaufmann, showing the colorful hustle and bustle of the eastern trade center and are particularly popular with private collectors.
After his creative period as a traveling artist, Karl Kaufmann returned permanently to his adopted city of Vienna in 1900, where he once studied at the world-renowned Academy of Fine Arts. He successfully graduated from this academy, which places him among a number of famous contemporary painters, such as the Viennese Rudolf von Alt. Aside from Karl Kaufmann's training and study trips, little is known about the Austrian landscape painter's life. Most of the works of the painter Karl Kaufmann are privately owned and are offered at auction by various renowned art dealers, such as Sotheby's or Christie's.to

"Birch, " Oil Paint on Olive Board
By Bruno Surdo
Located in Chicago, IL
Chicago-based fine art painter Bruno A. Surdo is classically trained in drawing and oil painting in the tradition of Renaissance masters. With strong command of the human form, Surdo creates dynamic compositions of people and places that communicate a rich commentary on the world around him. Depicting trees from personal encounters, Surdo’s latest body of work entitled “Tree Spirits” takes us on a foray into the forest, where leaves, branches and burls express something deeply personal. Applying his mastery of figurative realism to the natural world, he experiments with form and texture to uncover the intangible spirits of trees.
Entitled “Birch,” this small-scale oil painting depicts a young birch sapling against an olive wood board. Restricting the composition to only a portion of the trunk, Surdo focuses on qualities that make the tree memorable - its narrow trunk...

"Being There" Original Oil Painting by Robert White, Frameless Display
Located in Encino, CA
“Being There,” an original oil on canvas by Robert K. White, is a piece for the true collector. White’s careful attention to detail and vivid use of browns and reds project from the painting, immediately capturing the viewer's attention and highlighting the artist's keen ability to capture emotion and life - all in a brushstroke. White's talent for depicting light and shadow provides the foundation for him to deliver subjects and scenes to the viewer's eye. This masterful work would make a great addition to an art collection and enhance most any home, perfect for those who have an affinity for cityscapes, theater, and architecture.
In the artist’s own words, “I don’t paint what is inside of me; I paint what I see outside of me. I’m an observer. If I see something and I feel an affinity for it, something just clicks in my head. I’ll make the decision right then and there to paint that particular subject during that particular moment. It’s a perfect moment. Once something has caught my eye and I’ve heard the “perfect” click, it’s like a photograph has been taken in my mind’s eye. I only have a few days of clarity with that image. I have to start the painting quickly or else it will be gone and I will lose that image forever.”
