Silva was a 19th Century American luminist artist working in New York and New Jersey. He did fabulous sunset scenes of the Hudson River Valley with such technical accuracy that scholars today can feel they know the exact spot from where he painted. The end of his career was marked by more commercial paintings, many in New Jersey. This painting, an oil on board (the board is labeled and a pencil attribution is written on the reverse) measures 9 3/4" X 22 1/4" in its original gilt wood & ...click for details

Jim Bloom pulls from a well of personal experience and uses his own technical innovations to show off a unique style that effectively expresses his thoughts and emotions. He fearlessly experiments, drawing on cutout images, painting on paper, or cardboard or whatever materials on hand, and creates elaborately layered collages with work ranging from abstract to figurative, and sometimes incorporating text. "It looks like DeKooning!" one observer admired. Jim Bloom was born in Allentown, ...click for details

Dame Walker (1861-1951) was born in Edinburgh, trained at The Putney School and Slade School, studied with Whistler. She was obviously influenced by her contemporary impressionists.

A "theorem" painting on ivory velvet in a rosewood veneer frame using the technique of stencil painting. The painting is delightful and the highlights refined. The floral arrangement features tulips, roses, morning glories and other flowers and two butterflies. Although there is minor discoloration in the velvet fabric, the art has apparently never been removed from the original frame. Ca 1850- 1870. 23 1/2 X 15"
