Early engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi. Raimondi was born in 1402 near Bologna. He studied with painter and jeweler Francesco Francia. His first dated print is Piramus and Thisbe, c1505. He was in Venice by 1506, and arrived in Rome before 1510. There, he engraved (probably) for Baviera, Raphael's print entrepreneur. He began his shop about 1515 with his wife and students, most notably Marco Dente da Ravenna, Agostino Veneziano and the Maestro del Dado. After the Sack of Rome in 1527, in which he lost everything, it is believed that he moved to Mantua and then Bologna, where he was recorded as dead by 1534.

 -  -  -  -  -  - | Sherry Palmer Cedars in the Marsh oil on canvas 1986
Item # 4912
Click HERE to inquire about this item
Sherry Palmer Cedars in the Marsh oil on canvas 1986. "Sherry Palmer" is a well accomplished artist She has exhibited at the Ogunquit Museum of Art in Ogunquit Maine. Her show ran from August 17th to September 30, 1998. This lovely landscape was painted by the artist in 1988 and is titled "Cedars in The Marsh" Measures 15 inches by 5 and one half inches."In 1989, New Hampshire artist Sherry Palmer fulfilled a long-held wish to visit Scotland. To her surprise, she found that the home of her ancestors (the MacLeods) was on Scotland's Isle of Skye. During that trip to Skye, Palmer fell in love with the people and their customs - and with the beautiful but stark environment, bathed in a quality of light that proved irresistible to the landscape painter. As she said: "I found a landscape I could paint for a lifetime."
Palmer returned to Skye every year until 1995, when she made the dramatic decision to take her life savings and move there on an artist's visa. During that period Palmer painted full-time, returning to New Hampshire in May, 1997. "The Isle of Skye: Paintings by Sherry Palmer" will contain many of the oil and watercolor paintings completed during her Scottish residency.
A painter who prefers to work outdoors, Palmer describes her work: "I love being, on the marsh, in the fields, in the hills, and responding to what I see in front of me." Palmer's paintings are characterized by fluid brushstrokes that convey rich colors and an ethereal, all-encompassing light. Her masterly use of form and color has a directness and simplicity that evokes the sense of immediacy found in the best "plein-air" painters" Taken from http://www.tfaoi.com/newsmu/nmus104c.htm

 -  -  - | Boris Lovet Lorski abstract modern art watercolor
Item # 4924
Click HERE to inquire about this item
Abstract modern art watercolor on heavy paper by Sculptor and graphic artist Lovet-Lorski was born in Lithuania in 1894 Died 1973
Studied art at the Imperial Academy of Art in St. Petersburg where he worked
briefly as an architect. In 1920, Lovet-Lorski moved to the United States
and settled in New York City and in five years hence received his American
citizenship.
During his working life, he achieved prominence as a Modernist sculptor but
in view of the fact that his work was mainly commissioned by private
clients, his work began to slip into obscurity. A decade after his death, a
large selection of his major works of the 1920s and 1930s was discovered in
his New York atelier bringing his art into prominence once again.
Lovet-Lorski's style was eclectic but his work in the Modern style is the
most individualistic and impressive. The female nude became his subject
whether in marble or as a lithographic print. Alastair Duncan has written:
"the bold sweep of the body capturing its innate rhythm and grace...his
torsos convey a feeling of motion and energy, no doubt partly due to the
simplifying and streamlining of facial features and hair. No other sculptor
in America caught the prevailing French Art Deco mood as effectively or
poignantly."
He was an associate member of the National Academy of Design and a member of
the National Sculpture Society, as well as the Salons of Paris.
His work is held in the collections of the Luxembourg Museum, Paris; Petit
Palais, Paris; Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris; British Museum, London;
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; San Diego Fine Arts Society; Los
Angeles Museum of Art; Seattle Art Museum; San Francisco Museum of Fine
Arts; Boston University; and Columbia University. This modern work of art measures 22 and three quarters inches by 18 and three quarters inches.15 and one quarter inchse by 21 and one half inches. Signed lower middle

While in the process of creating the Museum of Non-Objective Painting (later
the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum), in 1939 Solomon Guggenheim and HillaRebay began to take an interest in Scarlett's work. By 1940 he became thenew museum's chief lecturer.

twenty-five years and showed his work in the Woodstock exhibits.
