"Red Chair," though an interior scene, is arranged like a still-life with the furniture and objects slightly off-kilter in the creative manner of Marc Chagall's interiors, the Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin. These non-fixed objects lend a floating energetic atmosphere and the brilliant colors contribute to the liveliness of this warm inviting interior. Richard Jerzy was a well-known watercolor artist from the Detroit, Michigan area. His signature works were figures and still lives, and many famous Michigan families are collectors. "He was probably the most promising, successful, exciting artist in the state of Michigan," said Miriam Parel, a fellow artist and friend for more than 30 years. He grew up on Detroit's east side and developed an interest in painting as a teenager. He attended Detroit's Center (now College) for Creative Studies.

Mid Century Post-Impressionist Still Life with Shoes and Flowers, Spanish Oil on Paper, Framed, c.1980 Artist: Carmen Espel (b. 1926, Spanish) Title: Untitled (Still Life with Shoes and Flowers) Date: circa 1980 Medium: Oil on paper Dimensions (image): Height: 70 cm (27.56 in) Width: 50 cm (19.69 in) Frame dimensions: Height: 75 cm (29.53 in) Width: 55 cm (21.65 in) Condition: Good overall condition. Minor signs of age consistent with medium and period. Paper stable. Colors remain vivid and well preserved. Frame: Original wooden frame included Style: Post-Impressionist Period: Late 20th Century (1980–1989) Origin: Spain A bold and characterful post-impressionist still life that plays with contrast, texture, and narrative. At first glance, it’s a simple composition: a pair of worn shoes, a ceramic pot with vivid flowers, and a glass bottle. But the execution transforms the scene into something far more engaging. The brushwork is energetic, almost tactile, and the color palette—rich reds, deep greens, and earthy browns—creates a strong visual rhythm. There’s a subtle tension here: elegance versus use, beauty versus everyday life. The shoes feel lived-in, the flowers freshly alive, the bottle quietly observing. It’s not just a still life—it’s a moment suspended between presence and absence. From a collector’s standpoint, figurative still lifes with personality and strong color contrast perform consistently well, especially when they include relatable objects and a decorative yet expressive quality. This is a piece that adds warmth, story, and visual interest to a space without being predictable. Carmen Espel (born 1926, Barcelona) is a Spanish painter associated with post-impressionist tendencies. A disciple of Ramón Sanvisens and Teresa Llàcer, she developed a vibrant and expressive style focused on landscapes, still lifes, and floral compositions. Her work is characterized by strong color contrasts and a confident, gestural brushstroke rooted in the Catalan artistic tradition of the late 20th century. Still life painting...
