31 pieces of art, museum exhibited 2008, listed artists! (rural Urbana Illinois) $1488

2008-07-11T19:05:04-05:00

31 pieces of art, museum exhibited 2008, listed artists! I was the curator of an agricultural and rural life exhibition at the Krannert Art Museum on the campus of the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. These works are a portion of this exhibit, entitled "Reflections on Rural Life", featured in April and May of 2008. The vast majority of these works are by listed artists, many several hundred years old, no reproductions. This collection is a mix of oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, etchings and engravings. Artists include: LOUIS-THEODORE DEVILLY (1818-1886), (2) STEFANO DELLA BELLA (1610-1664), JAN VAN OSSENBEECK (1624-1674), NICOLAS BERCHEM (1620-1683), JOHANN MICHAEL PROBST (1730-1777), KARL VON VITTINGHOFF (1772-1826), ROELANT SAVERY (1576-1639), KAREL DUJARDIN (1626-1678), JOHANN CHRISTOPH NABHOLZ (1752-1797), ALAIN MANESSON MALLET (1630-1706), ANTHONY WIERIX (1552-1624), JAN LUYCKEN (1649-1712), PHILIP GILBERT HAMERTON (1834-1894), Attributed to EUGENE JOSEPH VERBOECKHOVEN (1799-1881), MAGGIE STIEFVATER (American), JOHANN ADAM KLEIN (1792-1875), CONTINENTAL SCHOOL Early 20th Century, VLADIMIR LAVRENYUK (b. 1950) oil, JOHANN JAKOB SCHEUCHZER (1672-1733), ADRIAAN VAN DE VENNE (1589-1662), FREDERICK TAYLOR, (2) Copperplate engravings, circa 1700, AUGUST VON DER EMBDE (1780-1862), Attributed to HANS FRANK (1884-1948), ROBERT HILLS (1769-1844), ANITA WARE (American), (2) JAMES SOWERBY (1757-1822), MATTHAUS MERIAN (1593-1650). Many of these works are absolutely stunning in person, including the watercolor by Louis-Theodore DeVilly with the young mother and son, and the oil by National Artist of the Ukraine Vladimir Lavrenyuk, which was lot 308 at Jackson's Art Auction House in 2006: http://www.jacksonsauction.com/Mar06_catalog/artistlisting/MAR06_allo.php
Many major art museums feature the same original etchings and engravings in their collection, such as the (2) works by Stefano Della Bella at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco: http://search.famsf.org:8080/search.shtml?keywords=stefano%20della%20bella
All of these works are matted and framed. The watercolors, drawings, etchings and engravings are being sold with frames and acid-free mats but no glass in the 48 states, unless local pickup is arranged. PRICE FOR DELIVERY TO EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA IS FOR THE ART AND MATS ONLY, NOT FRAMES. OILS WILL BE SHIPPED AS ROLLED CANVAS TO ALL LOCATIONS. I will try to post more close-up photos before auction end. This is a stunning collection, and would be a beautiful addition to any smaller museum or fine home. Thanks for looking, and good luck!!

I will paint a portrait of your pet (or ?). Help out traveling artist. (CU) $1

2008-06-16T17:03:59-05:00

Greetings,

I'm a traveling artist of various sorts (multi-media) and have just been informed that the unemployment compensation I'm due to start receiving is so small, it will likely only afford me the ability to pay attention.

Truth is, I'm crossing the continent and desperetly need funds. I brought my art supplies with me in hopes of making some decent road money if I need to and, well, I need to.

I love animals of all sorts, and would have a lot of fun painting yours (or whatever else you would like a a painting of). This would be on the material of your choosing (canvas, paper, glass, you name it - will be included in price, which is negotiable and dependent upon various factors. Generally, $150-$500).

My style tends towards 'pop art', usually quite colorful; though originally trained in realism, it's not my preference. That's what photos are for! I use acrylics, mostly, and that's what I have with me. I am able to make acrylics appear like oils, if that's what you like.
Here are the artists my style is most reminiscent of:
Kahlo
Matisse
O'Keffee
Gaugain
Kandinsky
Warhol

For a bit of background: I have been painting for 20+ years (am 35) and have made most of my living in adulthood as a fine painter and graphic artist. I now work in theatre, mostly as a sound designer, and am between jobs, having just completed a long-term contract in KY. I'm in CU visiting a good friend and enjoying the company of her and her 2 beautiful black cats.

Having given me a portrait of your pet, I would like to meet you, and get a feel for you, your pet(s), and your environment. I would then begin the work based on my impressions and what I feel would suit your personalities and your world. Any colors you would like included, I would be glad to oblige. I could have your painting completed in 2-3 days.

Please call me directly, as I don't get to check my email very often.

Oh - the pics below are just a smattering of samples I have with me. I also have a few actual pieces in my van, if you would like to see any.

Cheers!
Anna
