Poem 70-73 Taiwa (Level or peace), 31/106, 17.5”x 24.5”. Haku Maki produced this Big Green print in 1970. His Big prints-—large for him-—appeared mainly in the period 1968-75. This print, the only horizontal one of all his Big prints, depicts the kanji for Level, Peace and the like. I believe it has other meanings. When I first saw this image many years ago but had not seen the bottom margin clearly, I thought it was a stylized rendition of Woman, a very frequent Maki subject...

Original finely detailed gouache and watercolor on board painting (no glass) of two warring ships, the 38-gun frigate HMS Macedonian of the Royal Navy, and the 44-gun better protected USS United States, as they appeared in the epic battle of October 25, 1812. The Macedonian surrendered to the Americans, making her the second warship to surrender to the US during that war. The painting, signed at lower right by artist Gordon Bracher and dated 1965, might be after a Thomas Birch painting...

Oil on canvas, 47" x 27.25" with original period frame in excellent condition, 35.5" x 15.5" unframed (THIS PIECE APPEARS IN THE DEFINITIVE BIOGRAPHY FOR THE ARTIST) Jean Mannheim has become so popular among serious collectors of turn-of-the-century art that he almost needs no introduction. Mr. Mannheim was born in Germany in 1863 but fled to Paris after being drafted into the German Army. While in Paris, Mannheim supported himself and his art studies at the Ecole Delecluse Academie Colarossi...

A pair of late 18th or early 19th century portraits, one showing a well dressed gentleman seated at a secretary bookcase, the other of his wife, seated and holding a flower. Painted in oils on canvas, the detailing, especially in the man, is stunning. He is wearing a blue coat, an elaborately ruffled shirt, and a silk waistcoat. The edging and every button on the jacket and waistcoat are beautifully rendered in multiple colors...

Italian Artist Giuseppe Muscio b.1955 paints in a hyper realistic way but these works were done in plein air Oil on panel measuring 8”x6”

Watercolor and ink marker drawing of Greek buildings by dark blue sea, a boat at right, signed at lower left with signature that appears as "Bremmer". I think this was likely created by an American artist, perhaps painting while on vacation in the Mediterranean. I'd date it as maybe 1980's. It is a pleasant and decorative work that should evoke memories of vacations in the Greek Islands; this could very likely be a view of famous Santorini. Condition is excellent...

A contemporary painting of the famed "Winter Palace" of St. Petersburg, Russia, oil on canvas, 9" by 11 1/2" (12" by 14 1/2" in complementary charcoal black framing with gold liner), signed illegibly presumably in Russian at lower right. The green-blue facade is the trademark of one of the world's most famous buildings, which served as the official residence of the Russian Emperors from 1732 to 1917. Per Wikipedia information: as of 2021 the palace and its precincts form the Hermitage Museum. S...

Etching on paper, 16 1/4" by 14 1/4", with narrow metal framing, pencil signed at lower right by artist, who, if I read correctly the Russian on the reverse, is one VLADIMIR KOSTROMIN. An old original label on reverse has a 1978 date, so I would imagine the print dates to the late 1970's. The ink is a greenish black. Moisture has compromised the margins and mold stained and rippled them; reframing would help exclude that. Some photos show reflections and overstate some slight discolorations ...

If you're looking for an Asian accent piece for your interior, consider this oil on canvasboard, 23 5/8" by 17 5/8" (a little over 31" by 25" as framed), signed at lower right "Bill Parrish" (or Perrish, or Porrish), not dated but likely mid century from late 1940's to early 1960's, the subject a young Chinese woman in traditional colorful costume, with what I believe is an important Chinese character for something important like "life", "luck", etc. at upper right background. I do not see a li...
