About the Item
Clearly showing the influence of German Expressionism and American film noir, this deeply atmospheric, moody painting depicts two male figures in the foreground, deep in conversation, as the morning sun breaks through grey clouds to illuminate the church steeple below. The artist was Daniel Koerner, and his steeply-gabled houses and somber colors have parallels in the work of Henry Gasser and Lyonel Feininger, also German or German-American in background. The artist was active in the Works Progress Administration (WPA), and his works are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. He also designed the "United We Are Strong" poster for the American war effort during World War II, commissioned by the U.S. Government in 1943. The medium is oil on canvas; the frame seems to be original. (Dimensions include frame; painting itself is 29 inches high by 23.5 inches wide.)

Oil Painting from 1937 Harbor View by Carles Bisschops, Oil on Panel
Located in Casteren, Noord-Brabant
Beautiful and vivid painting, oil paint on panel. The painting shows a picturesque harbor on the French Mediterranean. This work is by the Flemish painter Charles-Louis Bisschops (Liège, April 25, 1894 - Rossignol, 1975). The painting has a somewhat impressionistic touch and a beautiful use of color. The blue color of the water contrasts nicely with the shady buildings. The painting is framed in a classic wooden gilded frame. On the back of the painting is an old label stating that the painting was painted in the French port of Ferrier (near Marseille on the Mediterranean). The painting is clearly signed and dated 1937.
Charles Bisschops has his own Wikipedia page, information about this:
Charles Bisschops was a Belgian painter, graphic artist and draftsman. He was a student at the Academy of Brussels from 1912 to 1919. The main professors were Jean Delville and Constant Montald.
