About the Item

Important still life painting by Cuban artist Mario Carreño. (Mario Carreño y Morales (1913–1999) Provenance: Private collection UK – Commissioned in 1976 directly from the artist. Painted in Chile, signed and dated 1976 Mario Carreño y Morales (1913–1999) was a Cuban-Chilean painter renowned for his dynamic and evolving artistic style, which seamlessly blended Cubist abstraction, surrealism, and elements of Mexican muralism. Born in Havana, Cuba, Carreño began his formal art education at the Academia de San Alejandro in Havana in 1925. He furthered his studies at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid, the École des Arts Appliqués, and the Académie Julian in Paris . Mario Carreño’s exploration of sensuality through fruit is evident in several of his works, where he intertwines organic forms with human figures, creating a dialogue between the natural and the erotic.

William Frederick Timmins was born May 23, 1915 in Chicago, Illinois. His father, Harry L. Timmins (1887-1963), was a celebrated magazine illustrator and co-owner with Frank H. Young (1888-1964) of a successful Chicago advertising agency called Young & Timmins Advertising Illustration Studios. In 1923 Timmins and Young co-founded the American Academy of Art in Chicago. His father's impressive career brought the family a prosperous and privileged lifestyle, which included pleasure trips to Paris and London. In 1934 he began to commute by Metro North train to New York City, where he studied at the Art Students League on West 57th Street. He also took classes at the National Academy of Design on Fifth Avenue near 89th Street. In 1935 he began to study at the Grand Central School of Art, located on the sky-lit top floor of Grand Central Station Terminal. This was the same station he used for his daily commute. In 1935 he began to sell pen and ink story illustrations as well as painted covers to NYC publishers of pulp magazines. During the second half of the 1930s his work appeared in Western Story, Dime Sports, Clues Detective Stories, Thrilling Western, and All Aces Magazine. He and his wife moved to a home on Spectacle Lane in Wilton, CT. This area of Connecticut had become a popular artist community. He socialized with several artist neighbors, such as Benjamin Kimberly Prins (1902-1980), Tom Lovell (1909-1997), Richard Lyon (1913-2002), Al Parker (1906-1985), Rolf Klep (1904-1981), R. G. Harris (1911-2007). During the 1940s his cover illustrations appeared on pulp magazines, such as The Shadow, Clues Detective Stories, Wild West Weekly, and Astounding Science Fiction. All these were published by Street & Smith. In 1944 the family moved to Darien, CT. At first the artist worked in a rented studio in nearby Norwalk, CT, but after a while he converted a vacant family room into an art studio and worked at home. After the war he drew story illustrations for Family Circle and Liberty Magazine. In 1948 his father, Harry L. Timmins, and his brother, Harry L. Timmins, Jr., moved to California to open a lithography business in Hollywood. During the 1950s he illustrated several books for children that were published by Rand McNally, such as Cowboys, Davy Crockett...
