About the Item
'The Terrace', watercolour on art paper, by Maurice Savin (circa 1950s). An inviting scene from the South of France depicts a quiet sun terrace on a balmy day with azure skies. The viewer is invited there to sit, relax, breathe the fresh air and take in the pleasurable lifestyle that is the South of France. The artist's keen eye captures the essence of the scene with broad and colourful brushstrokes, the pencil lines of the original sketch provide a sort of frame for the chairs and table. The artwork derives its beauty from its simplicity while the artist succeeds in transporting the viewer to a better place. That is always a good thing. Newly framed and glazed. The work is in good vintage condition commensurate with age. The piece bears the stamp of the artist's authenticating authority in the lower right hand corner. Upon request a video of the piece may be provided.
About the Artist: Maurice Savin (1894-1973), born in small town France, Moras-en-Valloire, Savin was a graduate of the School of Decorative Arts in Paris, was a painter, ceramist, engraver, sculptor, illustrator, lithographer, furniture decorator, painter of tapestries and stained glass boxes. His artworks express his love for country scenes, and vineyards and he is further known for his portraits of female nudes. Savin is a complete artist. He exercised his talents in multiple media where shapes and colours, lights and movements harmonise, strengthen, and released his vision - realistic but sensitive - into a very personal poetry. He dies in Paris in 1973. His hometown named one of its principal streets, Rue Maurice Savin.

- One Potato - Tiny Original Still Life Painting of a Potato on Deckled Edge PaperBy Christina HaglidLocated in Chicago, IL"One Potato", by Christina Haglid, is a meticulously detailed watercolor of a potato. The paper had a deckled edge and matted with a heavy white mat. The piece is framed in a white wood frame with a heavy white mat measuring 14h x 10.5w inches. Christina Haglid One Potato watercolor and gouache on paper 4.50h x 2.50w in 11.43h x 6.35w cm Artist's Statement Tiny Sanctuaries There has always been an intersection between the process of writing and the act of painting in my work. It has somehow been my guide. In the last four years, during the making of this work, that connection intensified as I started writing short stories and flash fiction while taking online classes. I find the process of writing and painting so different in almost every way, but there is something freeing and generative in writing which helps my painting process. Or perhaps it's a reminder of what painting is for me - something intuitive that needs to be trusted. And what they do have in common is a desire to encapsulate and distill a single moment, a story, about the complexity of our emotions and experiences. At the heart of my work is the recurring depiction of perseverance, strength of will, and a subtle optimism. Symbolically through the objects, precarious situations depict a moment of possible difficulty, often involving the influence of nature. A paper crane left in the snow. A boat nearly filled to the brim, but not submerged and able to drain its own contents carefully. A slide alone at night which will return to its purpose during the day. My intention is to not show the failure because I imagine all these objects make it through to better times. Allegories of survival. Someone comes by and finds the paper crane, the rowboat owners return and see their boat undisturbed, and the slide during the day brings joy.
