Philomé Obin Landscape Paintings

Haitian, 1891-1986
Philomé Obin was born in Cap-Haitian, Haiti, in 1891 and died in 1986. He was a descriptive self-taught painter, and the charm of his art lies in the subtle distortion that comes with the failure of his technique to follow the rules. He joined the Centre d’Art in its opening years, 1944, and his fame, though very late, did not change his way of living or style. Obin is the father of the Cap-Haitian school, a distinctive style of painting that emphasizes daily life, street, and historical scenes reflecting Haiti’s colonial past. Philomé Obin painted two of the murals in the well-visited Episcopal Cathedral in Port-au-Prince, which was unfortunately destroyed during the devastating earthquake of January 12, 2010. His paintings belong mainly to the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Milwaukee Art Museum, and the Figge Art Museum in Davenport, IOWA, the finest Collection of Haitian Art in the UNITED STATES. Mrs. Jacqueline Onassis made a special trip to Cap -Haitian to see his art, and his paintings have been sold in major auction sales houses, Sotheby’s and Christie’s, everywhere in New York. Philomé Obin’s art, next to Hector Hyppolite’s art, is considered as one of the oldest and founding fathers of Haitian painting. He is a star in every important Haitian collection. His art is mentioned in all the leading Haitian Art books. “Obin’s concern with precision and the respect of reality injects a measure of coldness into his narrative works” (Gérald Alexis in his book, Peintres Haitiens)

Animal scene Duck hunting with dogs 18th century Swedish Master by Philip Korn

Located in Stockholm, SE

Monogrammed lower left: Johan Philip Korn (1728 - 1796), was a Swedish painter. A beautiful landscape, with a backwater in which carefree ducks swim, hunters and their dogs in passion, in the background you can see a city with a bell tower. Old masters have been depicting animals in their paintings since the Renaissance. In those days, hunting scenes were popular - there is always a share of emotional participation in them. Here it is necessary to understand that in previous centuries people looked at hunting as a means of obtaining food, therefore naturalism dominates in the painting of the old masters. Old oil painting on wooden panel, in a non-original frame of the 19th century. Size app.: 49 x 64 cm (roughly 19.3 x 25.2 in) and nice golden gesso frame ca 65.5 x 81.5 cm (roughly 25.8 x 32.1 in). Very Good condition, age wear, cracks on a wooden board, minor losses, retouches, cleared and conserved. Please study good resolution images for overall cosmetic condition. In person actual painting may appear darker or brighter than in our pictures, strictly depending on sufficient light in your environment. Weight of app. 6.4 kg is going to measure some 10 kg volume weight packed for shipment. Johan Philip Korn first began his career as a decorative painter. He was a student of artist Johan Sevenbom (1721-1784). After further studies he changed to landscape painting in the Rococo style of French artist François Boucher (1703–1770) and often after Dutch copper engravings. In 1759, Korn became master of the Stockholm...
