Kevin A. Short Art
Kevin A. Short is best known and recognized as being in the forefront of the modern scene painting movement. Author Craig Lockwood described Short as "a new breed of California painters, an original 'Coastal Regionalist.' " Last year, the Pasadena Museum of California Art included Short's work in historical context by featuring two of his paintings in the landmark exhibition, In the Land of Sunshine. Jean Stern, Director of The Irvine Museum, heralded him as a "gutsy colorist" and gave Short's work a place in the important exhibition, 100 Years of Plein Air Painting in The Irvine Museum.
His creativity was nurtured in a science-minded family in the small California town of Goleta. Born in San Diego in 1960, he grew up in Santa Barbara, where his sailing, fishing, and spending long days in the surf gave him a love for the ocean. Years later, he formalized his studies in oil painting at the University of New Mexico and Pepperdine University in Malibu. Short further distinguished himself by graduating with honors from the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena. In addition to being featured in numerous publications, his own book, Trestles, has exemplified how artists can draw attention to land use and preservation. He is also the subject of the documentary film, Documenting the Vibe.
His work has been featured on the covers of Surfer's Journal and the Los Angeles Times and Southwest Art Magazine. Short continues to live, surf, and paint in Southern California and has a studio in Durango, Colorado. Kevin A. Short is a full member of the California Art Club.

The Boat in Martigues, France
By Marie-Anne Nivoulies de Pierrefort
Located in London, GB
'The Boat in Martigues', oil on canvas, by Marie de Nivouliès de Pierrefort (circa 1910). Martigues is a small port town just northwest of Marseille in the South of France. Its nickname is the Provençal Venice. Further eastward down the coast is the town of Toulon where the artist was born in 1879. Nivouliès depicts a charming sailboat tied to the small pier yet with an unfurled sail. It looks to be a wondrous day along the Mediterranean, the kind we can always dream about. The painting is over one hundred years old and is in fair condition, yet recently brought back to life by an art restoration professional. Elegantly framed, it is stabilised now for decades into the future. Signed by the artist on the lower right corner. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying the listing. Upon request, a video may be provided of the artwork.
About the Artist: Although she was a direct descendant of the counts of de Pierrefort, Marie de Nivouliès de Pierrefort's (1879-1968) family was very poor. In spite of the poverty, Pierrefort attended a Catholic school run by nuns, obtaining a scholarship from the School of Fine Arts of Paris. While still a student, she attended workshops of great Impressionist masters such as Pierre Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) and Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947). In 1910 she won a travel award from the school and traveled to Tunisia where she painted several Mediterranean landscapes.
In 1938 the painter moved to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where she painted the beautiful landscapes seen from her window. In Rio, Pierrefort had two individual exhibitions, both at the National Museum of Fine Arts, in the years 1946 and 1956.
Although widowed in 1944, Pierrefort decided not to return to France until 1950. She remained there until 1959 when she definitively returned to Brazil. Her atelier in the neighbourhood of Glória was frequented by many emerging artists who learned the techniques of impressionism from her. Afterwards, Pierrefort painted for almost a decade in Brazil until she passed away in 1968 in Rio. After her death, many canvases were found in her studio but had been damaged or destroyed by humidity and by the intervention of her many cats. The painter Sergio Telles...
