An Oversized Floral Still Life, Oil on Canvas, Sarkis Sarkisian 1909-1977
About the Item
This is an impressive oversized floral still life by Sarkis Sarkisian featuring tulips and Lillies in a vase. The mauve background is subtle enough to compliment the flowers and vase. Sarkisian used a striking blue at the bottom of the piece. Though unsigned this painting was purchased from the original collector who purchased it directly from Sarkisian. The scale of this artwork creates a real presence.
From askART:
"Sarkis Sarkisian was a painter and teacher, who spent most of his career in Detroit, Michigan... He emigrated there with his Armenian family [at age 13] from Smyma, Turkey in 1922. From a young age, he showed art interest and talent.
Sarkisian studied under John Wicker at the Wicker School of Fine Arts, and with John Carroll at the Art School of the Detroit Society of Arts & Crafts* where Sarkisian was hired as an assistant instructor of drawing and design in 1933. He became a full instructor in 1934, and was named Director in 1947. In addition, he taught classes for the Birmingham Society of Women."
"Sarkis was juried into art exhibitions across the nation during his lifetime including the Annual Exhibition of Michigan Artists at the Detroit Institute of Arts, Annual Exhibitions of American Painters and Sculptors at the Art Institute of Chicago*, First Annual Show of Contemporary Art at the Richmond Museum of Art, Society of Independent Artists, Paintings from 16 American Cities at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, The Scarab Club* of Detroit, Biennial Exhibition of American Art at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Biennial Exhibitions of American Oil Paintings at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., National Exhibition of American Art at Rockefeller Center in New York, Annual Exhibition at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, among many others."

- "Le Festin De'Avaignée" Oil on Canvas, Jean de Botton, 1960 (1898-1978)By Jean Isy de BottonLocated in Palm Desert, CAThis is such a striking piece by Jean De Botton entitled "Le Festin De Avaignée" or The Spider's Feast. This piece is from 1960, after his transition to more abstract work. Button seamlessly weaves together abstract shapes and ideas. The spider is in the midst of its feast yet you see its tireless efforts in the web and shapes behind it. the painting is oil on canvas and has been newly framed in a rich espresso brown wood and gold leaf. We were able to re-use the small brass placard engraved with "JEAN De BOTTON" which was fixed to the original frame. The piece is signed in the lower left. A wonderful and important piece to add to any art collection! Excerpt from Hanna Fine Arts: “Jean Isy De Botton was a highly celebrated painter courted by the rich and powerful throughout Europe and America. Born in Salonica, Greece, he studied at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris, whilst also attending the studios of sculptor Antoine Bourdelle and Bernard Naudi. In 1920 he first exhibited at the Salon des Indépendents, then in 1921 at the Salon d’Automne where in 1927 he was received his first award, and in 1929 at the Salon des Tuileries. During this period de Botton was fully immersed in painting redolent of l’art vivant, but in 1933 he visited Italy where he was profoundly moved by the early Renaissance paintings of Giotto and Piero della Francesca, and on returning to Paris he destroyed most of his previous work. He wrote a manifesto declaring that chiaroscuro which had dominated Western Art since the Renaissance “had killed painting”, and that colour should be the predominant factor in art. He embarked on a new vibrant and expressive body of work which he referred to as “humanist abstraction”, in which figurative elements played a harmonic rather than dominant role in the composition. During the 1930’s De Botton’s profile rose rapidly. From 1932-1939 he taught at the Académie Montmartre. In 1937 he was the only foreign artist commissioned to paint the coronation of George VI, and was given a solo exhibition in London. Subsequently, Queen Elizabeth II and Winston Churchill would also acquire his work. From 1934-1938 he participated in the Carnegie Institute International exhibitions in America, and was an immediate success. Numerous solo exhibitions followed in New York (1936, 1937, 1942, 1945, 1957), Seattle (1938), San Diego (1938), Philadelphia (1938, 1969), Boston (1939, 1966), Hollywood (1941), Los Angeles (1945), San Francisco (1951), Chicago (1953), Phoenix (1960), Atlanta (1961), Fort Worth (1962), Palm Beach (1962), Dallas (1967). His work was collected by famous figures such as Ernest Hemingway, Charlie Chaplin, the Roosevelt’s and the Kennedy’s. In 1944 he was given a major show at the Museum of California, and commissioned to decorate the San Francisco Opera. He was also made a member of the American Federation of Arts, and became a US national. In 1956 De Botton returned to Europe, and that year held an exhibition at Galerie Wildenstein in Paris. He held further exhibitions in Geneva (1957); Museum of Osnabruck (1959); Hamm (1960); Cologne (1964); Salzburg (1965); Munich (1965); Vienna (1965); Paris (1966). He was also appointed to the committee of the Salon d’Automne; director of the Salon des Tuileries; member of the Salon des Indépendants; director of the Académie Montmartre (1969); vice-president of the Salon Moderne...Category

An impressive still life painting depicting meat, and diverse vegetables. Painted in oil on canvas with pastell colors. Framed with antique richly decorated gilded frame. Signed with monogram of the artist "AP 09" (1909). This authentic antique painting will be a highlight in every dining room or restaurtant. The Biedermeier period runs parallel to the Romantic period and both are characterized by similar features.

There is little experimentation and more observation and enjoyment. The art style is kept very realistic and shows great similarity to photography.
