Gifford
Beal’s Lobstermen on the Shore (estimate: $100,000 – 150,000) is a
powerful example of the artist’s work from his summer trips to Rockport,
Massachusetts during the 1920s and 1930s. In the present work, set
against a vivid sun-dappled sea of complimentary oranges and blues and a deep red
sky, a trio of fishermen carry their lobster cages down to the sea. Lobsterman
on the Shore speaks to the heroism and strong work ethic of the New England
fisherman while simultaneously celebrating the natural beauty of the coastal
town.
The
celebrated watercolorist Charles Ephraim Burchfield is renowned for his
landscapes of vivid color and movement. The Moon and Queen Anne's Lace
(estimate: $120,000 – 180,000), which is being offered from an important
New York estate, is a superb example of Burchfield’s rhythmic depictions of the
sensations of nature.
