- Lower Manhattan, St. Pauls, Woolworth Building and City Hall by Daniel MorperBy Daniel MorperLocated in Sheffield, MADaniel Morper American, b. 1944 Lower Manhattan, St. Pauls, Woolworth Building & City Hall, NY Oil on canvas, signed on recto at lower right 36 in. by 50 in. W/frame 38 in. by 52 in. Landscape painter Daniel Morper is known for his naturalistic, light-saturated images of such diverse scenes as views upward into the skies above Manhattan, scenic panoramas of the badlands and canyons of the American West, and nostalgic paintings of rural landscapes and townscapes. In 2008 LewAllen Contemporary presented the first retrospective exhibition covering the full scope of Morper's career, from his Manhattan cityscapes of the 1970s, up to and including his portraits of the old Santa Fe Railyard. "Morper rewards looking." So says well-known art critic and historian Peter Frank in the catalogue for LewAllen Contemporary's retrospective exhibition. Frank adds: "Morper has a knack for finding the spectacular in the mundane…emphasizing - but not exaggerating - the skew of a vantage, the force and weight of a horizon, the surprise and poignancy of an object silhouetted against a sky." By combining a pre-modernist regard for the meaning of nature with a modernist's search for elemental vision and post-modern exactitude, Morper has, in Peter Frank's view, "helped to bring about a veritable renaissance in American landscape painting." Another critic has noted, "Morper's style borders the edge of photo-realism but is filled with metaphor: stunning Southwest light...Category

- Landscape with Figures by Gaston SebireBy Gaston Sébire 2Located in Sheffield, MAGaston Sebire French, 1920-2002 Landscape with figures Oil on canvas 31 by 41 ½ in. With frame 38 by 48 ½ in. Signed lower right Gaston Sebire (1920 – 2002) Gaston Sebire, was one of Europe’s leading landscapists, was born in the village of Saint-Samson in Normandy in 1920. A self taught artist, he began to paint seriously at the age of eighteen. For eight years he worked as a postal clerk in the Rouen, sorting letters at night in order to support his career as a painter. In 1952 Gaston Sebire had his first exhibition at the Galerie Gosselin in Paris. The following years he enjoyed the double triumph of winning both the coveted Prix de la Critique and the Prix Casa Velasquez. The Latter award made it possible for him to spend a year and a half in Spain. Of this formative period he said, “They were my first, wonderful years without worry. For fifteen years I had never known what the next day would bring.” The year 1957 marked another important stage in his career. His painting “La Dinde” won the Greenshields Prize in a field of 136 competitors, making it possible for him to paint for another two years without the worry of finances. Winning the awards naturally drew public attention to the artist from Normandy, and his works were presented in highly successful one-man shows in Paris. Sebire was a Norman, a man strongly attached to the soil, and after his exhibitions in Paris, he returned to Rouen to his large house overlooking the town and once again plunged into painting the countryside. Gaston Sebire was a strongly built man with square hands and a rather heavy walk. He had immense vitality, and used that to his advantage. As he said of himself, “When the snow falls, I can’t stay indoors. I set out with my paint box. I paint outdoors from nine in the morning until five at night. If it were only a question of money, one could just as well paint in one’s own room.” But Sebire went into the countryside, or into the village, and sets up his easel. When there is a café into which people are going; there is a fence, a telegraph pole, a few buildings in the background. The scene takes on life, vivid life, with a sense of some event about to take place in the scene. Like many artists, and like a typical Norman, Sebire was silent and solitary by nature, with a personality as strong and Frank as his paintings. A painting, he says, “must have an element of mystery, show an effort to look beyond the aura surface of things.” Sebire’s early paintings were somber with much use of black and white tones. In 1970 he turned to colour. The subtle light of the Normandy skies; the shifting light and color along the seacoast; the magnificent blues of the Rouen pottery...Category
