James C. Borden Large Cityscape Street Scene Watercolor Painting Cerused Frame
Located in Chattanooga, TN
Absolutely masterful watercolor street scene painting by James C. Borden (1928-2013). Prepare to be awestruck when you lay eyes on this exquisitely detailed watercolor painting by James Borden. The modern painting depicts an ethereal urban scene crowned with summer light. The scale itself is impressive at over four feet wide and three feet high (50.75? x 36.675?). There is just so much to see, so much texture, so many layers. Borden has truly mastered his medium. This is a watercolor cityscape on paper, housed in a cerused wood frame and protected by a pane of acrylic. The painting’s vibrant colors have beautifully preserved. The mastery of this painting is unreal. Borden’s orchestration of color leads the eye through the painting with late afternoon sunlight carving a path through an otherwise gray urban interior. His use of color is narrative. The viewer is being teased away from gloomy city life with a glimmer of sun and nature on the horizon. The nuance in his layering, through elevated passages of transparency… simply brilliant. Be sure to spend time with this painting. There is more to see each and every time you look. Did you notice the Easter egg? Borden used his name as the sign on one of the buildings on the left. The painting is pencil signed “Jim Borden.”
James C. Borden studied at the School of the American Academy of Art in Chicago and was a life long painter. Mr. Borden spent much of his life in South Bend...

Rudi Polder Abstract Landschap, Luminist Painting, 1980s Blue Tones
Located in AMSTERDAM, NL
Calming and tranquil work by Dutch artist Rudi Polder, known for his beautiful paintings of seascapes in soft pastels.
Calming and tranquil work by Dutch artist Rudi Polder, known for his beautiful paintings of seascapes in soft pastels.
Rudi Polder is the son of the Hague painter Gerrit Polder. At the age of seventeen Rudi Polder started painting in the naturalistic style of his father Gerrit Polder. After the Second World War, Rudi Polder traveled and drew portraits along the way to earn a living. In 1953 he decided to live in Marseille and rented a studio above the home of the French photographer Albert Detail (1903-1996). In September and October 1953 his first exhibition took place in Bagnols-sur-Cèze with about 50 paintings, the majority of which were painted in Marseille. Rudi Polder married a French woman in France. From this marriage two sons were born, Claude and Serge Polder. During this period, Rudi Polder also traveled to Sweden, Stockholm and Gothenburg, where he sold his paintings. In 1959, this relationship ended in divorce. Rudi Polder returned to the Netherlands to start a new life there and met his life partner Wally Vermij. Rudi Polder and Wally left for France again, where they bought a neglected house in Roquefort-les-Corbières, Languedoc. They converted this house into a refurbished house with studio and exhibition space.
His painting style evolved over the years from impressionism (1943-1984) via luminism (1985-1994) to abstract (1986-2006).
In January 1957 his works were exhibited at the Lucy Krohg gallery in Paris. Critics praised it, especially George Besson, a French art critic and the founder and director of Cahiers d’Aujourd’hui. The last exhibition in Marseille, before he left for the Netherlands, took place in 1959. In the years that followed, Polder exhibited his works in the Netherlands, Sweden, France and Belgium, among others.
“Light on end of sea”, 1984, signed and dated on the front and verso.

Antique and Vintage Paintings for Sale on 1stDibs
When paired with the perfect frame, the right antique and vintage paintings and other wall decorations can either subtly showcase your personality or steal the show altogether.
The earliest paintings were created on the walls of caves, proving even our ancient ancestors knew that striking artwork is meant to be on display. Cave paintings on an Indonesian island are reportedly older than the earliest cave art in Spain and France, and the figurative paintings back then were produced with inorganic pigments like iron oxide.
Later, the people of Ancient Greece — who learned about art from the Egyptians before them — conceived panel paintings of wax and tempera that were collected and publicly displayed. In the centuries that followed, artists would be commissioned to create large-scale wall murals and frescoed ceilings in sprawling European palaces and in the homes of the aristocracy.
Today, 1stDibs makes it easy for you to celebrate this rich history in your own home. Our collection of paintings includes Art Deco paintings, baroque art and a broad range of other categories. Search by material, period or other attributes to find the right fit — browse an array of 19th century landscape paintings in giltwood frames or abstract oil paintings and portraits made during the 1950s and ‘60s.
An understated contemporary work can complement your space’s color palette without drawing the focus away from the other pivotal design choices you’ve made over the years. Roy Lichtenstein’s Pop art, on the other hand, demands attention with its array of vibrant hues and subjects inspired by popular culture.
Whether you aim to create a gallery in your home or build a single, stunning focal point, you can find what you’re looking for in an extensive inventory of paintings on 1stDibs.
