Seymour Remenick (1923-1999) American; Philadelphia, PA. was born in Detroit, Michigan and raised in Philadelphia. He studied art at the Tyler School of Fine Art 1940-1942 and with Hans Hoffman from 1946-1948, and at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. His preferred medium was oils. Remenick painted in styles embodying both abstraction and realism, and it is said that his career is a “quietly stubborn revolt against the prevailing trends of his student days” and that “he has proven that a quiet voice can be heard in a vociferous age.” From 1977 to 1996, he was a teacher at the Pennsylvania Academy. His work shifted from the modernist paintings influenced by Hofmann’s teachings, to work made directly from life that relates to the plein-air tradition of Constable and Corot. Remenick exhibited from 1954-62 at the Davis Gallery in New York with great success and later in New York’s Peridot Gallery. In a review, Fairfield Porter wrote that Remenick’s paintings, “with their apparently old-fashioned qualities, compete successfully with the most avant-garde painting in terms of the avant-garde". His oeuvre encompasses darker, early 1950s views of Philadelphia rooftops to brilliant painterly landscapes from Manayunk, the industrial riverside suburb of Philadelphia, where he worked for years.His primary subject is landscape, but he also paints still lifes, figures, and portraits. He began his career as a follower of Hans Hoffman, Abstract Expressionist. However, he realized that the supposed freedom of that style was also very confining, because it was prescribed by the art establishment that resisted rebellion against it. He felt that the proponents had denied themselves much of the rich material of the real world in their devotion to mood, colors, and shapes.
Remenick enrolled at the Pennsylvania Academy for more traditional painting, and his admiration turned to other artists, many of them Old Masters, including Rembrandt, Velazquez, Bruegel, Corot, Turner, and Eakins. His subjects include city scenes of Philadelphia and its suburbs, mills along Schuylkill River, as well as New England coastal and town scenes including New Bedford and Gloucester. He was elected to the prestigious National Academy of Design in 1982. He exhibited at the American Painting Exhibition, Rome, Italy, Rhode Island School of Design, at the 11 Contemporary American Painters, Paris, France, the Art Institute of Chicago and others. His work is represented in public and private collections including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
He has had much success as a painter including receiving the Louis Comfort Tiffany Grant in 1955, the Benjamin Altman Landscape Prize from the National Academy of Design in 1960, and a Hallmark Purchase Prize in 1960. Reminick died in December, 1999.

LAKEWOOD N.J., 1936 Modernist Oil Painting, Judaica
By Emanuel Glicenstein Romano
Located in Surfside, FL
Genre: Modern
Subject: Landscape
Medium: Oil
Surface: Board
Country: United States
Dimensions: 30" x 22"
EMANUEL ROMANO
Rome, Italy, b. 1897, d. 1984
Emanuel Glicenstein Romano was born in Rome, September 23, 1897.
His father Henryk Glicenstein was a sculptor and was living in Rome with his wife Helena (born Hirszenberg) when Emanuel was born. His father obtained Italian citizenship and adopted the name Enrico. Emanuel was brought up in Italy, Switzerland, Germany, England and Poland.
In 1926 Emanuel and his father sailed for New York. They briefly visited Chicago. Romano's sister, Beatrice, and mother only joined them in New York years later.
Romano changed his name on his arrival to America and some have erroneously speculated that this was to avoid antisemitic discrimination. In truth, as the son of a highly-regarded artist, Romano changed his name to ensure that any success or recognition he would later attain, would be the result of nothing other than his own merit as an artist, and not on account of his father's fame.
In 1936 Romano was worked for the Federal Art Project creating murals. During and immediately after World War II, Romano created a series of allegorical works depicting graphic holocaust images that were held closely by the family until after his passing. One of these works is now on permanent display in the Florida Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg Florida.
Emanuel's father died in 1942 in a car accident before they could realize their shared dream of visiting Israel.
In 1944 Romano, having completed his degree at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the Art Institute of Chicago, began teaching at the City College of New York.
Romano moved to Safed, Israel in 1953 and established an art museum in his father's memory, the Glicentein Museum.

George Cecil Carter Mid-Century Modern Abstract Figurative Oil Painting, 1950s
Located in Denver, CO
This rare 1950s oil painting by Colorado abstract expressionist George Cecil Carter presents an abstracted figurative portrait of a couple—believed to represent Georgia O’Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz. Rendered with bold brushwork and a dynamic modernist palette, the piece reflects Carter’s distinctive ability to merge abstraction with figuration, capturing both movement and emotional depth. Housed in a custom frame, the painting comes from a private collection in Denver, Colorado.
Carter (1908–1993) was a central figure in Colorado’s mid-century modernist movement. A self-taught artist influenced by modernist painter Charles Ragland Bunnell, Carter developed a uniquely expressive style that drew upon his working-class background as a miner and machinist. He exhibited nationally and worked alongside artists including Al Wynne, Mary Chenoweth...
