A dynamic, colorful 1930s painting of a boxing match in Mexico by famed Chicago Modern artist Francis Chapin. Painted during one of the artist's early trips to Mexico, an exceptional painting showing Chapin's steadfast interest in sporting scenes, particularly boxing matches. Image size: 12 x 28 inches. Framed size: 15 1/2 x 31 1/2 inches. Estate stamped on reverse. Provenance: Estate of the artist. Francis Chapin, affectionately called the “Dean of Chicago Painters” by his colleagues, was one of the city’s most popular and celebrated painters in his day. Born at the dawn of the 20th Century in Bristolville, Ohio, Chapin graduated from Washington and Jefferson College near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania before enrolling at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1922. He would set down deep roots at the Art Institute of Chicago, exhibiting there over 31 times between 1926 and 1951. In 1927 Chapin won the prestigious Bryan Lathrop Fellowship from the Art Institute – a prize that funded the artist’s yearlong study trip to Europe. Upon his return to the United States, Chapin decided to remain in Chicago, noting the freedom Chicago artists have in developing independently of the pressure to conform to pre-existing molds (as was experienced by artists in New York, for example). Chapin became a popular instructor at the Art Institute, teaching there from 1929 to 1947 and at the Art Institute’s summer art school in Saugatuck, Michigan (now called Oxbow) between 1934 – 1938 (he was the director of the school from 1941-1945). Chapin’s contemporaries among Chicago’s artists included such luminaries as Ivan Le Lorraine Albright...

Rene Ramos Lust plus Dopamine Oil on Canvas, Signed Cuba 2015 31.5 x 25.5 Inches Rene Ramos was born into a family of accomplished artists. Hi father Rene Martinez Sopena was an accomplished sculptor and teacher at the prestigious San Alejandro School, where Rene and his brother Yuri Martinez Ramos, also a world renowned painter, were graduates. The Martinez/Sopena family can also count amongst their artistic luminaries Hector Martinez and Sergio Martinez Sopena, uncles of Rene and Yuri, both master sculptors with works included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Bellas Artes in Havana, as well as countless collections around the world. Rene from a young age was a master drawer and painter, winning countless awards and scholarships. The competitive and artistic family atmosphere with his father, uncles and brother solidified Rene’s future aspirations of becoming an accomplished figurative painter of Cuban social scenes. The dynamics of Rene’s works can best be described as a narrative of whimsical social commentary of what it truly means to be Cuban in the latter half of the twentieth century and beyond. He takes his ques from family and friends and their interrelationships within Cuban society as it currently unfolds on the island. His works are not political in nature but rather reflects a poignant reminder of the resiliency of the Cuban spirit. His works offer a superior measure of detail utilizing a flow of powerful colors that jump off the canvas. One cannot help but admire and cherish any work of Rene’s a collector decides to take home.

A Large, Colorful Modern City Street Scene by Notable Chicago Artist, Walter Burt Adams (Am. 1903-1990). A vibrant, painterly view of a sunlit small town city street, a scene located near the artist's studio and winter residence in Belen, New Mexico, located south of Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Likely painted in the quiet morning hours after dawn, a favorite time to paint by the artist. A wonderful Post-War example of the colorful Urban Realism practiced by the artist, a distinct style developed in the late 1920s and painted throughout his life, highly inspired by the artwork of fellow American artist, Edward Hopper. Artwork size: 18 x 36 inches, oil on canvas, accompanied with a hand-finished, charcoal toned oak slat frame (framed size: 18 1/2 x 36 1/2 inches). Signed "Walter Burt Adams" and dated lower left. Provenance: Estate of the artist. Walter Burt Adams was a dedicated painter of the American Scene and a singular personality among his peers in the Chicago Modern Art community. His no-nonsense manner, devotion to his craft and sardonic sense of humor characterize a man whose paintings capture life in and around Chicago between the early 1920s and the late 1970s. Born in Kenosha, Wisconsin just after the turn of the last century, Walter Burt Adams spent his childhood in Fargo, North Dakota and began his artistic education there through a correspondence cartooning class as a boy. After finishing high school in Fargo, Adams moved to Chicago in 1922 in order to enroll at the school of the Art Institute of Chicago. Adams’ instruction at the school with artists such as George Oberteuffer, Frederick V. Poole, Charles Wilimovsky...

An original mid-century oil painting by celebrated California artist Jon Blanchette (1908–1987), East Santa Cruz, California captures the quiet beauty and dramatic atmosphere of the Northern California landscape during the 1950s. A sunlit yellow farmhouse emerges against rolling green hills beneath an expansive sky filled with deep gray storm clouds, creating a striking balance of warmth, light, and approaching weather. Blanchette's confident brushwork and sophisticated handling of color evoke the timeless character of the Santa Cruz countryside while reflecting the lyrical qualities of American Impressionism. Painted circa 1955 on canvas board and signed by the artist in the lower right corner, this original work exemplifies Blanchette's signature Romantic Realist style, combining careful observation with expressive color and atmosphere. The vibrant yellow architecture serves as a focal point within the sweeping rural landscape, making the composition equally compelling as fine art and as a sophisticated design statement for modern, coastal, ranch, or contemporary interiors. Professionally presented in a custom archival frame, the painting is ready to display. Born in England and educated at the Pittsburgh Art...
