Robert Goldstrom
Green Wood, Night Panorama (Oil Painting of Brooklyn Cemetery, NYC Skyline)

2019

About the Item

Iconic cityscape oil painting on canvas of Brooklyn's Green Wood Cemetery and Manhattan Skyline and Statue of Liberty painted on the horizon Painted by Robert Goldstrom in 2019 36 x 72 inches, Oil on linen 38 x 74 x 2 inches framed (black wood frame) Robert Goldstrom, long time Brooklyn resident, is well known for his poignant and enchanting paintings of his beloved borough. This paintings weaves the artist's impeccable skill with a sly sense of humor. Here he paints the well known Green Wood Cemetery at early dawn or early dusk where the prevalence of sunlight has not yet triggered the city street lamps to extinguish. In the background, a number of iconic buildings and landmarks can be seen; One Hanson Place, the water towers, and of course the Statue of Liberty. In the foreground, the artist paints the silhouettes of ghostly figures mingling among the cemetery headstones. These ghost like figures are almost translucent, yet anything but frightening. One is spotted in a tree top, while another crouches near a tomb. It reminds us of the dense population of city dwellers who are and once were. The light is beautifully painted in a style typical of Goldstrom, a style recalling post-impressionist works of Georges Seurat. This expansive panoramic view in full scale would be a wonderful addition to any contemporary or historical home; clearly the owner will be someone with a close connection to Brooklyn! About the artist: Robert Goldstrom lives and paints Upstate New York by way of Brooklyn, NY. After years of making a living as an illustrator, winning both Gold and Silver Medals from the Society of Illustrators, Robert turned more and more to creating personal work. Now a full-time artist, he usually works in series – The Anatomy Lesson, Aquarium Paintings, Bank Paintings – following an idea from image to image until it plays itself out. Robert has shown his work at MDH Fine Arts and Underbridge Pictures in New York City, the A Gallery in Provincetown , MA, Weiler House Fine Arts in Fort Worth, TX, and now Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, NY. His work is in the collection of The Smithsonian Institution, The Cooper Hewitt, and many private collections, and has been featured on television in CSI on CBS, the Fox series, The Following, and the forthcoming NBC series, Allegiance.

  • Peach Lilies (Contemporary Still Life of Vibrant Tiger Lilies, Oil on canvas)
    By Dan Rupe
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Peach Lilies (Contemporary Still Life of Vibrant Tiger Lilies, Oil on canvas) by Dan Rupe 22 x 22 inches oil on linen canvas Signed on reverse Artist Dan Rupe paints only from life, his composition ruled by his intuitive sense of formal order. He begins covering his canvas with a deep crimson wash. This ground gives his brilliant pure color , applied with an expressive, direct gesture, an electric charge. No matter how often or how long one looks at a Rupe painting, it is always the present tense. The tone of his palette, the freshness and clarity of primary colors, reflects an optimistic attitude, an intrinsic love of life. In this work, three vibrant peach colored lilies open their blooms amidst bright green grasses. Rupe succeeds at capturing the immediacy of his subjects be it flowers, buildings or people. Read below for an amusing profile written about the artist in 2003: You‘ve likely seen him on the streets of Hudson, seated before his canvas in a multi-colored paint daubed t-shirt and shorts, his straw hat providing shade for all but his tanned forearms and knees. His splattered Technicolor Walkman tape player...

  • Lotus No. 65 (Photo-Realist Still Life Painting of Pink & Green Lotus Flowers)
    By Frank DePietro
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Photorealist still life painting on canvas of a light pink lotus flower with brown lotus pods and green petals against a light grey background "Lotus Number Sixty-Five" oil on canvas, 48 x 48 inches, 49 x 49 x 2 inches with a dark wood frame Signed lower left Excellent condition and ready to hang Painted with the exactness of a still life photograph, this hard edge realist painting by artist Frank DiPietro features a light pink lotus flower, with lush green leaves on a pale grey background. Inspired by close observations of the natural world and encounters with still moments that give us pause. Lines, shapes and colors encountered in nature, reveal the cycles of decay and regeneration that are life’s constant state of change. The work has a quiet, meditative quality. The subject is portrayed in a manner true to their existence in a specific time and place and selected based on considerations of visual relationships to formal elements of painting. Aspects of photo realism, hard edge and color field techniques are utilized to isolate the uniqueness of the subject’s detail, as well as emphasize flatness and illusion of depth within the two-dimensional space of the painting. About the artist: Frank DiPietro was born and raised in Scranton PA. He received a Bachelor of Art from Bloomsburg University in 1997, majoring in both Painting and Ceramics with a minor in Art History. In 2000 he earned a degree in Art Education from Moore College of Art and Design while continuing his studies in painting. Frank lived in Philadelphia for twelve years painting and teaching at several museums, art centers and schools in the region. In 2010 he and his family moved to Chester County PA, where he currently resides. Frank currently teaches painting classes and workshops at the Delaware Art Museum and Longwood Gardens...
