2020
About the Item
Mark Bradley Schwartz’s "Looking Away" (2020) is a masterful example of contemporary figurative realism, executed in oil on board. This original, handmade painting captures a quiet, contemplative moment with a seated nude figure, partially draped in a dark garment adorned with red accents. Rendered with a soft, atmospheric palette and precise brushwork, Schwartz’s approach reflects classical training with a modern sensibility.
The model’s downward gaze and relaxed posture convey introspection and stillness, while the subdued green-gray wall behind her, punctuated by framed artworks, evokes a domestic setting. The carefully modulated lighting emphasizes the warmth of her skin tones and the subtle textures of her surroundings, particularly the crisp edges of the chair and the rich folds of the fabric.
Measuring 12 x 10 inches unframed, the piece is presented in an elegant black and silver-accented frame that brings the total dimensions to 17 x 15 inches. Schwartz’s signature appears in the lower left corner of the composition.
A refined addition to any collection, "Looking Away" speaks to the enduring power of observational painting and the artist’s ability to portray nuanced human emotion through classical technique.

Mark Bradley Schwartz
Mark Bradley Schwartz is a contemporary American realist painter who specializes in figurative works and still lifes. Originally from Illinois, he transitioned from a successful career in graphic design and art direction to fine art, seeking greater personal fulfillment through creative expression. Schwartz received his formal training at the California Art Institute under illustrator Glen Orbik, whose teachings on shape, value, and edge significantly influenced his artistic development. His technical approach balances accurate drawing with expressive brushwork, drawing inspiration from masters like John Singer Sargent, Anders Zorn, and Nicolai Fechin. Working primarily in oils, charcoal, and graphite, Schwartz creates works characterized by subtle color harmonies and varied paint application techniques. After studying at the California Art Institute, he joined its faculty as an instructor until the school closed in 2014. Schwartz is represented by Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado, which has featured his work in both solo and group exhibitions since at least 2015.

Oil on canvas
Signed in red, l.l.

This artwork is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City.
“By his own account, the most ambitious work of Michallon’s career was a thirty-foot canvas depicting Noah’s Ark, which he exhibited in the Salon of 1875, where it went unmentioned by the critics. Preparatory work for this elaborate composition took him frequently to the Jardin des Plantes, where he made painstaking drawings and oil sketches of the animals on view. These studies were enthusiastically remarked upon by visitors to his studio, some of whom counseled him to give up history painting altogether and pursue the less dignified but presumably more lucrative career of animal painter. Following this advice, and profiting from the tremendous vogue in 1880s Europe for all things African...
