David Burliuk Signed Watercolor, 1947, Seascape

About the Item

Unframed watercolor painting by Russian/New York artist David Burliuk (1882-1967) Beautiful vivid color, in excellent condition and signed lower left. Inscribed and dated 1947 on the verso. Measures: 17 1/4" H x 23 7/8" W. David Burliuk was born into a privileged class of Russian society and studied at the Kazan School of Fine Arts in 1898, as well as Odessa, Moscow, Munich, and Paris at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. His early works were fauve-like, "violent in color and heavy with paint" and were exhibited with the Blue Riders in Munich. In Russia, as a breaker of artistic tradition, he was expelled in 1911 from the Moscow Institute. With the advent of World War I, he left Russia and traveled for four years to Siberia, Japan, and the South Seas. To start over, he moved to America in 1922 and settled on Long Island where he continued to paint until his death in 1967. His subjects range from neo-primitive paintings to peasant life in Russia to futurist depictions of South Sea fishermen. Much of his painting in Russia vanished in the Russian Revolution. Throughout his life, Burliuk was innovative, energetic and upbeat. In the United States, he developed his "radio style", a style that involved symbolism, neo-primitivism, and expressionism.

  • Robert McChesney Watercolor Titled "Investigators"
    By Robert McChesney
    Located in Phoenix, AZ
    Impressive watercolor by California Abstract Impressionist, Robert McChesney (1913-2008). The painting is in excellent condition and measures 21 x 15 inches. The frame is 31 x 24. A label is seen on the verso with the title: "Investigators," and "From the Okinawa Series #47." Signed lower right. McChesney was a wonderful painter and this work is from his best period in my opinion. Post-War California artist, Robert Pearson McChesney became an Abstract Expressionist painter, assemblage artist, printmaker, sculptor and teacher. He was born in Marshall, Missouri, and with the exception of a year in Mexico, 1951, and World War II military service aboard a ship, he spent his career in California where he moved in 1936. He lived and had his studio north of San Francisco in Petaluma, atop Sonoma Mountain. Considered one of the "progenitors of Bay Area abstract expressionism", he had influence far beyond his home town. Exhibition venues were in New York at the Whitney Museum, Chicago at the Art Institute and San Francisco at the Museum of Modern Art. He studied at Washington University School of Fine Arts in St. Louis, Missouri from 1933-1934, and the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles from 1936 to 1937 with Fred...
