He continued his studies at the Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, Moscow from 1933-1939. The artist was active in Moscow from 1930-1933, thereafter, he relocated to Leningrad where he spent the majority of his career. Timkov has had an extensive history of exhibitions throughout the Soviet Union including the prestigious All-Union Art exhibition, Moscow 1955 and Soviet Russia exhibition, Moscow, 1960. Timkov is one of the more noted Russian painters of the 20th century. Though trained in the academic tradition of Russian Realism at the Academy of Arts, Timkov developed his own unique style characterized by impressionistic brushwork and fresh compositional solutions. His works hang in all major Russian museums, including the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, and the Tretyakov State Gallery in Moscow.

    Carl Brandien Oil on Board. Florida Subject. In excellent condition. Canvas size: 16"h x 20"w. Frame size: 17 ½h x 21 ½w. Signed lower right “Carl Brandien ‘44. Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.” Titled on the verso “The Little White House by the Sea - North Ft. Lauderdale Beach - Fla.” Signed on the verso “Carl Brandien 1944. The Vagabond Artist” Beautiful Ft. Lauderdale Beach Scene by the iconic NY/Florida artist and world traveler. Carl Brandien (1886-1965), and his wife Kathleen first came to Ft. Lauderdale from New York City in 1941. They loved the area and moved there permanently two weeks before Pearl Harbor. Brandien, who called himself the vagabond artist, traveled with Kathleen around the world on a quest for life, and to discover and paint beauty. Brandien did commercial illustration for many magazines including Life. He opened his Little Studio at 716 E. Las Olas, in Ft. Lauderdale in 1942. The Miami Herald, January 16, 1944, pictured Brandien and his wife. “With inspiration from the war and the fight for democracy, Carl Brandien, America’s ‘Vagabond artist,’ here with his versatile British-born wife, Kay, at their Fort Lauderdale studio, believes that American artists are destined to produce the finest art of all times…Now hanging at the White House is his painting ‘Stars and Stripes’ depicting the U. S. War fleet at anchor in the Hudson, with brilliant display of searchlights against the night sky… ‘I have visited 45 countries over a stretch of 25 years, always seeking to understand the meaning of life and then endeavoring to interpret it through my art.” At the end of World War II Brandien closed his Lauderdale studio and returned to New York and Gloucester, Massachusetts, but couldn't stay away from Florida.

  • Lowell Nesbitt Oil Painting, Iris on Dark Grey, 1968
    By Lowell Nesbitt
    Located in Phoenix, AZ
    A beautiful example by well-known artist Lowell Nesbitt featuring dramatic pale Irises on a dark grey ground. Image size: 22" H x 34" W. Simply framed. In mint condition. Signed, titled and dated on the Verso. Lowell Nesbitt (1933-1993), was a graduate of the Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia and also attended the Royal College of Art in London. In 1964, the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington gave him one of his first museum exhibitions. Mr. Nesbitt was frequently grouped with the Photo Realists. Mr. He was best known for gargantuan images or irises, roses, lilies and other flowers, which he often depicted in close up so that their petals seemed to fill the canvas. Dramatic, implicitly sexual and a little ominous, they earned the artist a popularity with the general public that tended to overshadow his reputation within the art world. In 1980, the United States Postal Service issued four stamps based on Mr. Nesbitt's floral paintings. He also served as the official artist for the space flights of Apollo 9 and Apollo 13...
