"Portrait of Young Woman with Bonnet, " Watercolor

"Portrait of Young Woman with Bonnet, " Watercolor

By Hannah de Rothschild

"Children Playing in Water-Lake Michigan (The Splash), " a Siver Gelatin Photo

By Francesco Spicuzza

Located in Milwaukee, WI

"Children Playing in Water-Lake Michigan (The Splash)" is a black and white silver gelatin photo (with grid) by Francesco Spicuzza. It depicts four children playing and splashing in a lake. 12 1/8" x 11" photo 17 1/4" x 17 1/4" frame Unsigned. This is a gridded reference photo used to produce a finished artwork. Francesco J. Spicuzza, born in Sicily on July 23, 1883, came to America at the age of 8. He supported himself as a fruit peddler until a newspaperman gave him $4 a week to go to school. He attended classes at the Milwaukee Art Students League, where he studied under Alexander Mueller. There he learned to paint in the then-fashionable "Munich School" technique, with detailed realism in heavy browns and grayed-out hues. Spicuzza completed eight grades in four years, and then in 1911, three businessmen advanced him enough money to allow him to study in New York under artist and teacher John Carlson. It was during this time that Spicuzza changed his style of painting, developing an impressionistic use of color, form and atmospheric renditions. After a period of grinding poverty, one of Spicuzza's pictures won a major New York competition. It was the first of 60 wins, both in the U.S. and Paris. He became a fashionable painter, and many of the leading collections have his work. Spicuzza's typical works were beach scenes, still life, landscapes and portraits done in pastels, oils, ink, charcoal and watercolors. Much of his work traced the history of Milwaukee in the early 1900s. He was probably best known for his scenes of women and children splashing in the waves...

'Proud Woman' original Shona stone sculpture by Wellington Karuru
'Proud Woman' original Shona stone sculpture by Wellington Karuru

'Proud Woman' original Shona stone sculpture by Wellington Karuru

Located in Milwaukee, WI

'Proud Woman' is an original opal serpentine sculpture by the Zimbabwean artist Wellington Karuru. In the sculpture, the figure's head leans to one side, eyes closed, as if carefully listening to the viewer. The head of the figure is carved onto a wedge shape: the choice to depict the face off-center reminds of the later paintings of Pablo Picasso, and the tall and narrow form reminds of the stone sculptures of Amadeo Modigliani. As the viewer walks around the sculpture, they can see that Jemali has left parts of the figure as natural stone, allowing the rough-hewn texture to create an exquisite contrast of surface with the mesmerizing polish. lemon opal stone (serpentine) signed 'W. Karuru' along the base, on the reverse 12 x 4 x 5 inches, sculpture 0.5 x 5.88 x 5.88 inches, base Overall excellent condition with no signs of wear Born on August 17, 1976, Wellington Karuru is the first born to a family of five children and has two brothers and two sisters. As the first born child in a Zimbabwean family, many responsibilities were shouldered upon Wellington. Both his brothers, Gilbert and Esau, are also talented sculptors. He completed his primary and secondary education in Mashonaland West Province and was involved in almost every sporting activity at the school. After he graduated, he was employed at National Foods LTD where he worked as a machine operator for a period of four years and was later promoted to work as a sales clerk. In his free time he assisted some well known artists in sculpting, was able to learn much from them and soon thereafter started to develop his own talent and unique style. Inspired by such well known sculptors such as Gardener Sango and Garison Muchinjili, Wellington started sculpting small pieces for himself and soon found a buyer for his favorite piece titled ‘A Cry For Help’. From that day forward, he has never looked back. He eventually went to work with Garison Machinjili whose influence is clearly shown in his work. Some of his pieces have been chosen already for international exhibitions and galleries. Well established and internationally renowned artists like Joe Mutasa...
