"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 This item is in our online price guide and is not available for sale

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.
