About the Item
"The Coast" is an original vintage oil painting from the mid-20th century (circa 1950s-1970s) by renowned New Mexico artist Marjorie Chambers (1923-2006). This stunning nocturnal marine landscape captures the serene beauty of the coast under a glowing moonlit sky. The artist masterfully uses a soothing palette of blues, greens, browns, and whites to create a tranquil, ethereal atmosphere. The painting is rendered on wood panel, signed by Chambers in the lower right corner, and titled on the reverse. It is presented in a custom frame with a dark finish and gold lip, with outer dimensions measuring 18 ¼ x 21 ¾ x 1 inches, and an image size of 11 x 15 inches.
About the Artist: Marjorie Bell Chambers (also known as Marjorie Bell) was born in 1923 in New York. She became a prominent figure in both the arts and social activism, earning a degree in Art History and Political Science from Mount Holyoke College (1943) and a Master of Arts from Cornell University (1948). Chambers moved to Los Alamos, New Mexico, in the 1940s, where she raised her family and worked as a substitute teacher while her husband, William H. Chambers, worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Along with her artistic pursuits, Chambers was a passionate advocate for women's rights and education. She earned a PhD in History and Political Science from the University of New Mexico in 1974, later serving as a faculty member and dean at Colorado Women's College. She was appointed to the National Advisory Council on Women's Educational Programs in 1976 and was vice-chair of President Carter's Committee for Women from 1977-1980. Chambers was also a historian, authoring The Los Alamos Story, and served on various boards, including the New Mexico Endowment for the Humanities. In 2003, she received the Governor's Award as an Outstanding Woman of New Mexico.
Chambers’ artwork, celebrated for its emotional depth and technical precision, captures the quiet, spiritual beauty of New Mexico's landscapes, making her works highly sought after by collectors.

Richard Sorby Abstract Seascape – Mid-Century Modern Mixed-Media Painting
By Richard Sorby
Located in Denver, CO
This captivating mid-20th-century abstract seascape by acclaimed Denver Modernist Richard Sorby (1911–2001) exemplifies his innovative approach to texture, form, and color. Created with a dynamic blend of oil paint, mica, and sand on board, the composition radiates movement through layered blue, yellow, and white tones, evoking the interplay of light and water. The result is a richly tactile and luminous surface—hallmarks of Sorby’s celebrated modernist style.
The work is presented in a custom archival frame (13 ½ x 13 ½ x 1 ½ inches; image: 4 ¾ x 4 ¾ x ¼ inches), ensuring preservation and ready display. A distinctive addition to any modern or abstract art collection, this piece embodies Sorby’s mastery of material experimentation and spatial harmony.
