"Sansui" Limited Edition Art Print by Christiane Lemieux - 30" X 40"
Located in New York, NY
Discover Sansui, a captivating new piece that embodies the quiet beauty and profound depth of Japanese aesthetics. With its intricate play of lines and rich contrasts, this piece evokes the spirit of traditional Japanese ink wash painting, reimagined through a contemporary lens. The sweeping curves and textured details suggest a landscape in motion—perhaps the wind over water or the flow of a mountain stream—drawing the viewer into a meditative exploration of form and rhythm.
The palette, dominated by a luminous interplay of blacks, silvers, and muted golds, captures the essence of wabi-sabi: the beauty of imperfection and the passage of time. Sansui resonates with an artful sophistication, perfect for spaces that seek to balance modernity with a sense of the timeless. From the same studio that brought you Les Terrains...

Length: 8” (without beard)
Height: 4”
Width: 5.5”
ABOUT
A Japanese Edo Period (1603-1868) Ko-jo Mask of an Old Man refers to a traditional theatrical or ceremonial mask crafted during Japan’s Edo period (1603–1868). Here's a breakdown of what this object typically represents and why it's significant:
The term "Ko-jo" (or Kojo) roughly translates to "old man" or "aged person" in Japanese. A Ko-jo mask often portrays the face of an elderly man, typically with exaggerated age features: deep wrinkles, sagging skin, a long nose, bushy eyebrows, and sometimes a beard. These masks are usually used in Noh, Kyogen, or folk performances, and occasionally in Shinto rituals.
In Noh theater, masks are used to express character types, moods, and spiritual roles. The Ko-jo mask might represent a wise elder, a spirit of age and wisdom, or even a deity.
In Kyogen, which is the comedic counterpart to Noh, old-man masks are used more playfully, often satirizing elderly characters in lighthearted scenes.
The Ko-jo mask may also symbolize ancestral reverence or longevity, tying it to folk beliefs and ritual performances.

Alexander Cañedo, Dancing Man, Surrealistic O/C Painting, ca. 1950’s
Located in New York, NY

Alexander Cañedo
Dancing Man
Oil on Canvas
ca. 1950’s
PAINTING DIMENSIONS:
Canvas: 44 x 44 cm (17-3/8 x 17-3/8 in.)
Framed: 68 x 68 cm (26-3/4 x 26-3/4 in.)
Alexander Cañedo (Mexican-American, 1902 – 1978) was born in Mexico City as Alejandro de Cañedo; his father was a Mexican government official and his mother was from the United States. In 1918, when Cañedo was 15, his parents sent him to École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris where he studied under the sculptor Jean Magrou. In 1923, Cañedo traveled to Rome where he continued his art studies. In 1927, Cañedo briefly returned to Mexico. During that trip, the Mexican Government appointed him attaché to the Mexican Embassy in Rome.
In 1928, Cañedo held his first art exhibition with the Circolo Artistico in Rome, a collection of pencil drawings. More exhibitions followed in other cities in Europe. That same year, he traveled to the New York City where he exhibited widely. At this point, he began signing his work with just his last name; eventually, he also Anglicized his first name as "Alexander" and dropped the "de".
Cañedo was commissioned in 1929 to illustrate the amatory novel Orientale: The Adventure of Therese Beauchamps by the French author Francis de Miomandre. The highly stylized Art Deco results were so successful that he retained Cañedo the following year to illustrate his next novel, The Love Life of Venus.
In 1932, Cañedo was invited to have a solo show of his pencil drawings at Walter P. Chrysler, Junior's newly opened Cheshire Gallery, located in the Chrysler Building. He also had a solo exhibition at the Argent Galleries, and participated in shows of the Art Students League of New York, of which he was an active member.
By the mid-1930s, Cañedo began exhibiting watercolors. These were shown at solo exhibitions at the Arthur U...
