About the Item
Very captivating, original oil on canvas of a beautiful nude woman with expressive amber eyes and a lion by her side, by famous deceased listed Dutch artist, Leo Jansen (1930-1980). This is a very unusual Leo Jansen painting as I have never seen one with a lion. This painting exudes softness and light and is just exquisite in real life. Painting is signed by the artist on the lower right hand corner and on the reverse you will find Leo Jansen's stamp, signature and original thumbprint, as your guarantee that this painting is authentic. It also has written "Hold for Publication" on the top edge of the canvas. It is also stamped on the backside "MASTER PRINTS FILED WITH: (see photo for locations). It is elegantly custom framed in the original ornate gold frame with an ivory velvet liner.
Many of the rich and famous had sought out Jansen for his portraiture skills and Jansen's sitting fee in the 1960's was $20,000 US dollars. For eighteen years, he was commissioned by Playboy Magazine to paint the playmate of the month. In his first six years, he was the artist chosen to paint 58 of the 72 portraits. His works hung in Hugh Hefner's Playboy corporate headquarters and in the mansion until Hefner's death. He is also famous for his portraiture of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
Ranked among the nation's best interpretive artist of nudes, Jansen's canvases hang in the collections of esteemed collectors, notables and celebrities world wide. In the United States, he was in great demand in Los Angeles galleries, but sold primarily through Aaron Brothers. Painting will include the original Certificate of Authentication dated November 15, 1977 from Aaron Brothers Corporation whom originally sold the painting to my client. Due to the certificate's age, it has holes in the paper.
In 1980 at the age of 50 years old, he died from an apparent heart attack.
Canvas measures 24" x 36" unframed. Framed measurement is 31.5" wide x 43" long.

Original Space Artist Andreas Nottebohm Acrylic on Aluminum Painting KNM 1387
Located in Tustin, CA
Visionary, abstract original acrylic on aluminum painting by famous NASA Space Artist, Andreas Nottebohn, titled "KNM 1387" depicts a colorful, otherworldly scene on a shimmering sheet of scored metal. This incredible celestial painting frees the viewer from a one dimensional perspective by suggesting a vast and mysterious distance.
Information on the back of the painting states, “KNM 1387 Spec 1 of 48 similar original paintings 1996 30 x 24 Acrylic on Aluminum”. Hand signed by the artist in the lower left corner.
Very nicely custom framed in a transitional style black frame with wide silver inner lining. Framed, the painting measures approximately 35" high x 29" wide x 2" deep. Unframed painting measures approximately 30" high x 24" wide.
One of the key innovators of metal painting, Nottebohm creates what might be called sculptures on a flat plane. By removing microscopic layers from the metal surface, he transforms the material into patterns of shimmering light. The unusual luminous quality of Nottebohm's work comes from the aluminum surfaces he scores, using a variety of manual and machine tools. Aluminum can create light and movement that you cannot create with anything else. It is similar to the sun reflecting on water, and you see one painting from one side and another painting from another side.
East German born (1944) Andreas Nottebohm moved to Munich as a teenager and immigrated to the San Francisco Bay area of the United States in 1979, after touring the U.S. for a one man exhibition. While in Germany in the 1970s, he was one of the co-founders of the Society for Art and Science in Munich.
Around the time he relocated to the United States, he was invited to participate in the NASA Art...
