Brook was born in Brooklyn, and studied at the Art Students League from 1914-1918...

A PAIR of oil on canvas paintings of a younger man, each 33" by 24 3/4", unsigned, circa late 20th century. The pair is striking in that one is painted in monochromatic style, the other in natural color. Placed together, they make for a most interesting set.

A rare opportunity to own something once handled by one of America's most famous artists, THOMAS MORAN (1837-1926). Some years ago, one of his oils brought over $17 million at auction. His paintings of the American West and Long Island are highly sought after and he is considered an iconic American artist. Much more affordable yet relatively scarce are his handful of etching images, and chromolithographs after his work. This is the print "A Tower of Cortes" (sometimes spelled "Cortez") of th...

Henry Mortikar Rosenberg 1858-1947 Canadian/American This is an original oil on board painting by American artist Henry Mortikar Rosenberg. This study of a museum visitor was originally in the collection of the Mobile Museum of Art, Alabama. The painting is signed lower right in pencil and inscribed on the back.
