It is a privilege to represent American fine art. There are exceptional artists from every period and genre. We've been fortunate enough to represent several of them. From the brilliant portraiture of Charles Wilson Peale, to the intriguing perspective of folk art, to the expanse of Hudson River Valley landscapes, to the culmination of late nineteenth and early twentieth century impressionism, there is something for everyone.
Artists sought to break convention and stretch their talents. They wished to explore landscapes, figures and even emotional content using a variety of methods. The early part of the twentieth century saw the rise of many new interpretations of the canvas, including Surrealism, Futurism, Modernism, Bauhaus, Cubism and Abstract Expressionism.
Where portraits can be historical and expressions of charm or expertise, figure painting examines the human form. Capturing form in motion can successfully express emotion and the beauty of the human figure. If you do not find a figure or portrait painting you are looking for, please call or email, we may not have cataloged it yet.
