Herb Kornfeld
Oil Painting - English landscape - River Thames series, UK

About the Item

ABOUT THIS PIECE This is a series of oil paintings of English landscapes, painted by the late American artist Herb Kornfeld who spent part of the 90's in England. The artist and his wife Sam, travelled to the English countryside and painted the landscapes near the mouth of the River Thames. This piece is framed. SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY ---- Herb Kornfeld was born in Great Falls, Montana, and trained in Los Angeles at the Chouinard School of Art. Kornfeld has journeyed to China, Sweden, France, Greece, England, Mexico, Canada, and throughout the United States, painting the landscape and its architecture as he saw them in colorful, faceted and geometric shapes, alluding to Cubism and Impressionism. In the latter part of his life, Kornfeld returned to California and using broad, chromatic palette, captured the brilliant light on the coast, hills, valleys of California. With bold use of color and loose, flat brushstrokes -- Kornfeld’s uniquely modernist aesthetic presents each piece as a visually arresting and imaginative interpretation of the landscape. HIs virtuosity of technique, and use of color and brushwork, makes each painting so imaginative and unique. Kornfeld's paintings can be found in private and public collections throughout the world. A selection of his exhibitions include – the Long Beach Museum of Art, The Downey Museum of Art, The U. S. Navy Museum (Washington D.C), Charles M. Russell Museum, Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, The American Academy of Arts, and UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund Tour)- International Tour.

  • Confronted Solitude - Park Schöntal 2
    By Kyoung Mi Lee
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    This is a beautiful, quiet and deeply contemplative piece from a Korean artist based in America, Kyoung Mi Lee (Lee Kyoungmi) The oil painting is on a specially constructed 3D birch wood panel to create a sensory visual effect, almost like looking through the looking glass. The centerpiece of the painting depicts a beautiful little park in Germany, near her home in Germany where Kyoung Mi lived for a spell. Due to work, Kyoung Mi has lived in various countries and whilst she loved her new homes, there is a sense of displacement and not belonging. This perhaps reflects the truth for many of us who travel and live in different places, moving away from home for work, love or simply to seek a new or different life. As such, the Greek torso...

  • The Flatiron Building 24”x36” Oil on canvas
    By Cuca Romley
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    This is a beautiful oil painting by Cuca Romley. Ms Romley was a long time New Yorker now retired, and living in Spain, and enjoying the beaches in Spain and France and painting into her nineties. This beautiful oil painting is of the Flatiron building at dusk, of a bygone era, captured with a whimsical happiness and exquisite, fine, detail. Video available upon request Provence: from artist, this piece has not been previously owned, is from the artist’s storage, but has some slight blemish at left corner, when viewed at an angle, as shown in picture. There is a series of original etchings and work from respected European artist and ex-New Yorker, Cuca Romley. Ms Romley is in her late eighties / early nineties, and currently based in Spain after spending much of her life in New York City. She was trained at The École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts (ENSBA), a distinguished National School of Fine Arts in Paris, France. The artist won several noted awards for her art in her native Spain, and in Paris, France. She worked as an artist and also had a career in advertising, illustration and interior design, in Spain, France and New York. As an artist, she has had solo and group exhibitions first Paris, France, Monaco, Japan, Spain and the US. ETCHINGS Cuca Romley’s etchings of both famous and little places around the world are depicted with a remarkable attention to detail, a style that belies her sophisticated sense of line and color. These etchings capture a bygone era of a city in flux, and a snap shot of a classic image of a place. Each plate is etched with patience and a thoroughness reminiscence of the earlier days of engraving, in exquisite and fine detail. Romley creates her intricate design on the etching ground that covers the copper plate. After the acid has etched the lines into the copper plate she engraves the details into the plate with a buril until the image is completed. For each individual print a master printer must ink the plate and wipe the surface clean. The plate is placed on the bed of the press and the previously wet French Arches paper 100% cotton covering the plate to pass through the press, and that completes the printing process. After the printing ink has dried for a couple of days, the etching is ready for the hand coloring by the artist. There are often more than 30 colors in one of Romley’s images. Each print can take up to 6 hours to color; these colors impart a subtle transparent effect that compliments the delicacy of the line.
