Preening Mother with Child, by Hu Yongkai
Preening Mother with Child, by Hu Yongkai, gouache on paper, image > 13.5″ X 13.5″ with silk matting > 17″ X 17″ Hu Yongkai (b. 1945, Beijing) learned about Western art as astudent at the Central Academy of Fine Arts of Beijing. The program emphasizedWestern oil painting, and he was drawn to the work of Paul Gauguin and VincentVan Gogh in particular. During the Cultural Revolution, Hu and his staff at theShanghai Animation Film Studios were sent to the countryside south of Shanghai.Like Nie Ou and Zeng Shanqing, agrarian life had a profound impact on his art.When not performing hard labor, Hu sketched the village people and buildingsaround him and incorporated these images into his later work. He was inspiredby the art of peasants who had no formal training—a departure from the art hestudied at the academy. Women at leisure are a prominent subject in his art. The architectural and garden settings evoke traditionalpaintings and historic places. He blends Chinese and Western art, formaltraining and naïve self-expression with the past and present to create an idyllicworld. The cut paper decoration on the window means ‘happiness doubled’. The gouache is in good condition for its age, the 1980s-’90s, with slight age appropriate wear on the white matting.

1930-60 ELISSA LANDI Airbrush Drawing Painting Portrait Kessel Hollywood Pop Art
26×18. First photo is closest to true color in person. A framed airbrushed Hollywood Portrait painting of Elissa Landi by Herman Van Kessel. Signed in the lower right corner. Van Kessel was born in 1878 Ravenstein, Holland to a long lineage of artists going back to the 17th-century. From an early age he was trained in freehand drawing and oil painting until at 16, his family moved to the United States and settled in Minnesota. Working as a lumberjack, he saved enough money at 20-years old to move to Chicago and study art and air brush technique.
