Maurice Green Landscape Paintings

American, Latvian, 1908-1993

Latvian-born painter Maurice Green has gained a following in recent years among art collectors for his notable still-life paintings, which reflect the influences of Surrealism as well as Cubism

Green was born in 1908 and studied with some of Europe’s most prominent art teachers before emigrating to the United States in the late 1920s. He settled in Los Angeles, where he continued his education and exhibited his realist paintings.

Green’s style evolved during the 1930s and 1940s, when he began creating figurative drawings in pen and ink on paper. His drawing Polynesia (1948) features a partially nude woman against a dazzling backdrop that ripples with energy in its arrangement of geometric shapes and graphic patterns.

In later years, Green’s style evolved again, and in the 1970s, his work consisted primarily of Cubist oil paintings on canvas, featuring bold, vivid colors. Many of his paintings from this era — such as Interlude (1974) and Sailboats (1980) — are still-lifes featuring stringed instruments like violins, dobros and mandolins, often positioned in front of an open window that looks out onto an inviting seascape or a blue sky. Other paintings of the period such as Elevated Dimensions (1972), Construct (1974) and Ascension (1978) sit firmly within the Cubist tradition and feature interesting arrays of colorful overlapping geometric forms.

Throughout his career and until he died in 1993, Green had numerous solo exhibitions in galleries throughout Southern California. His works are also held in several private art collections.

"Viareggio, Italy" Impressionist, Landscape, Watercolor painting, framed
By Nelson H. White
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
"Viareggio, Italy" is an impressionist watercolor painting of a beautiful seaside city just outside the hills of tuscany in Italy. Nelson H. White was born in New London, Connecticut in 1932. White has been surrounded by art and artists from the time he was born. He received his earliest art instruction from his grandfather, Henry Cooke White (1861-1952) and his father Nelson Cooke White (1900-1989), both important American artists. The family lived in Waterford, Connecticut and the elder White had been an early member of the art colony in Old Lyme, Connecticut. Known for his paintings of the Connecticut landscape and shoreline, Henry Cooke White became a teacher to his son, Nelson Cooke White. Living with his parents at the Florence Griswold house in Old Lyme, he met some of the most important and influential artists of the day, Childe Hassam, Will Howe Foote and Harry Hoffman. Later, Nelson White's father began to take his family to summer on Shelter Island and became friendly with many of the artists of the Peconic colony such as Irving Wiles, an important American impressionist. After graduating from the Tabor Academy in Marion, Massachusetts in 1951, Nelson H. White began to study at Mitchell College in Connecticut but left to pursue studies in the violin, musical theory and composition. At this time, he began to spend more time studying art with his father and grandfather. By 1955, Nelson H. White had decided to devote himself to a career as a painter and traveled to Florence, Italy to become an apprentice to Pietro Annigoni, the world-renowned Florentine master. Within two years, the young White had won two awards for his work. While in Florence he also studied with the great Italian teacher, Nerina Simi. Today, White divides his time between the United States and Florence. Although he has received instruction from some very important artists, White's work is highly individual. He paints with great spirit. Upon seeing his work one quickly senses White’s great love for nature and the outdoors. Through his eyes we are able to view and interpret nature in an intimate manner. Whether Nelson H. White is painting the Connecticut shore...
