Salvador De Regil Art

Mexican, 1914-1968

Salvador de Regil was represented by the famous Julien Levy Gallery in NYC and 1941 had a solo exhibit. When Julien Levy died in 1981 the gallery archives were donated to the Art Institute of Chicago. During World War II, de Regil worked in Texas painting glass eyes for blinded soldiers. After the war, he settled in the Bay Area, where he painted and taught. De Regil designed the popular restaurant and watering hole Tiburon Tommies, which was a favorite of all the artists of the area. He was also associated with The Art League of California (no longer in existence) and at least one catalog has his photo. He participated in their professional continuing education series. There are also records of him in the Museum of Modern Art Department of Painting and Sculpture. He moved to Laguna Beach in the early 1960s. In 1968, he died and was buried in Lake Forest, California. He was married twice and has one daughter. Information provided by Wendy Weigman.

Tramp (pet dog, beagle, troubadour guitare, animal portrait, surrealist painting
By Rudolf Kosow
Located in Quebec, Quebec
"Tramp," by Rudolf Kosow, is a whimsical painting that delights in its surreal juxtaposition of scale and serenity. At the center is a beagle's face, depicted with lifelike detail and expressiveness, eyes glistening with a calm intelligence that beckons the viewer into a state of contemplation. Positioned against the backdrop of the dog's vast visage, a small, solitary figure strums a guitar. The musician, dressed in casual attire, appears as a wandering troubadour, his music resonating with the quietude of the scene. This miniature man, though diminutive in size, plays a significant role in the narrative, providing a sense of companionship and shared experience. The painting's title, "Tramp," suggests a free spirit, both in the itinerant musician and the beagle, known for its adventurous and exploratory nature. Kosow's piece is an ode to the wandering souls and the moments of unexpected harmony they encounter. Through "Tramp," we are reminded of the melodies that score our journeys and the silent kinship we find along the way. It is an invitation to embrace the music of life, to find connection in the tranquility of existence, and to acknowledge the symphonies that unfold in the presence of kindred spirits, regardless of their size or form. keywords; painting on canvas, surrealist painting, animal vs human, americana, nature, man, man vs nature, surrealism, giant animal...
