Very Nice oil painting on panel by well-listed New York artist BERNARD GUSSOW 1881-1957. SIZE: 15.5" X 19". Framed: 25" X 20.75". Condition: Very Good.Artist's Bio: Russian-born Gussow (born 2 January 1881) was trained at both the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design; in addition he studied under Bonnat at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His first claim to fame seems to have been exhibiting two works at the Armory Show in 1913 (Movement and Figures). Gussow exhibited at the Society of Independent Artists between 1917 and 1934 and at Salons of America in the 1930s. By the mid 1930s Gussow stopped exhibiting but was as regular as clockwork up until then. By that time, he had moved from abstract compositions to recognizable urban subjects. The Whitney Museum of American Art, for example, has his Subway Stairs. The Barnes Foundation and the Museum of Modern Art also have his paintings. Gussow even participated in the Federal Art Project, contributing a post office mural (Recreation Hours) in East Rochester, NY. The figures in this painting might owe something to his contemporary Max Weber, who used similar simplified, mask-like faces. Or he may have gone directly to the Blue Rider Group or German Expressionists such as Franz Marc or Erich Heckel who were interested in “primitive” figures in landscapes. Weber also painted similar gently curving, cylindrical trees.   « Less

Height: 47 in. (119.38 cm) Width: 27 in. (68.58 cm) Depth: Country of Origin:USA Artist:George Douglas Brewerton (1827-1901) Condition:Ecellent Year:19th C. Description:Beautiful pair of antique 19th C. landscape oil on canvas paintings signed G.D. Brewerton. Both paintings are in their original American Victorian frames.George Douglas Brewerton (1827-1901)Brewerton was born in Newport, Rhode Island in 1827, and spent his childhood moving between several Northeastern cities. The elder Brewerton, superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point from 1845 to 1852, enabled his son to study under Robert Weir who was the drawing master at West Point. In addition to his artistic pursuits, Brewerton trained for a military career at West Point, and in 1846 sailed to California as a volunteer with the army. The Meican-American War erupted in 1847, and Brewerton was sent to Vera Cruz, Meico in the spring of 1847.In 1848, Brewerton was ordered to Los Angeles where he made the acquaintance of frontier hero Kit Carson. Brewerton traveled with Carson to Independence, Missouri, and later went on assignments to Fort McIntosh, near Laredo, Teas and Ringgold Barraks near Rio Grande City.In 1852 Brewerton left the army to pursue a career in journalism. He became a special correspondent for the New York Times and wrote articles for Harper�s Monthly and the New York Herald. Brewerton played an important journalistic role in Kansas in 1854, reporting on events that subsequently led to the Civil War.Not long after he arrived in Kansas, Brewerton moved to New York where he began ehibiting views and paintings at the National Academy of Design. His ehibited works indicate that he must have traveled etensively in his lifetime. His landscapes depicted locales as varied as the Adirondack, Catskill, and White Mountains, the New England Coast, and various regions in Ireland.During the Civil War, manuals illustrated and written by Brewerton were used widely for the instruction of recruits, and he served on the staff of a militia unit. During 1866 and 1867 he was the pastor of a Baptist Church in Annville, Pennsylvania, but later settled in Brooklyn where he wrote books and poetry. He also illustrated books, including Julian Hawthorne�s History of Washington. Also during this period, Brewerton spent much time in Newport painting marines and landscapes. He continued to travel to New Meico, Arizona, and California before passing away in Fordham, New York in 1901.   « Less
