Robert Brackman Still-life Paintings

American, 1898-1980

Robert Brackman was an American artist and teacher of Ukrainian origin, best known for large figural works, portraits, and still lifes in the realist style. He was born in Odessa on September 25, 1898, and came to the United States in 1908. He studied at the National Academy of Design from 1919–21 and the Ferrer School in San Francisco. In New York, he also studied with Robert Henri and George Bellows at the National Academy of Design. From 1931, Brackman had a long career teaching at the Art Students League of New York and was a life member of the League. He also taught at the American Art School in New York City, the Brooklyn Museum School, the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts and the Madison Art School in Connecticut. As a portraitist, he painted notables including John D Rockefeller Jr., Charles Lindburgh and John Foster Dulles as well as portraits commissioned by the Air Force Academy and the State Department. Brackman died on July 16, 1980, in New London, Connecticut.

By Carmen Espel

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

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...
