Biography
Coreen Mary Spellman (1905 - 1978)
Coreen Mary Spellman was a fine-art
teacher as well as a painter, designer, illustrator, lithographer and
muralist. Many of her paintings depicted human-made structures and
industrial landscapes in a style combining realism, precisionism and
abstraction. Often the central subject such as in "Railroad Signal" was
the only suggestion of humanity against a backdrop of stark Texas
landscape.
Of her painting these isolated subjects she said: "I
enjoy taking some rather obscure or unimportant subject or theme and
making something fine and important out of it . . . It always gives me
great pleasure to discover something which has been passed over as being
inadequate material". (Trenton 199)
Spellman was born in Forney,
Texas in 1905. At an early age she moved to Dallas, Texas and studied
under Vivian Aunspaugh before attending the College of Industrial Arts
(Texas Woman's University). She received a Master of Arts degree from
Columbia University and a Masters Degree from the University of Iowa,
Iowa City in 1942.
In addition, Spellman received a Carnegie
Scholarship for study at Harvard University, followed by studies with
Kenneth Hayes Miller, Vaclav Vytlacil, and Charles Wheeler...

Provence landscape , 1946 - oil paint, 46x61 cm.
By Maurice Mendjinzky
Located in Nice, FR
Oil painting on hardboard depicting a Provence landscape with olive trees and hills. Signed on left side low.
Maurice Mendjizky, was born on July 20th 1890 a Lodz in Polonie and died on may 8th in Saint-Paul-de-Vence (Alpes-Maritimes, France).
A museum is tributed to him, the Mendjisky - Ecole de Paris museum, in Paris.
He lived in St. Paul de Vence and good friend with Renoir, Signac, Modigliani and Picasso
Au départ passionné de musique, il part dès son plus jeune âge à Berlin étudier dans une école de composition. Mais, excellent dessinateur, il s’intéresse finalement à la peinture et part pour Paris. Entre 1906 et 1907, il fait un rapide passage dans l'atelier de Fernand Cormon à l'École des beaux-arts de Paris.
Il quitte vite l'atelier pour une vie plus libre où il travaille beaucoup et se fait rapidement remarquer par les grands marchands de l’époque. Il expose chez Georges Petit en 1912. La préface du catalogue est d’André Salmon. Ces mêmes années, il fait la connaissance de Léopold Zborowski, un des grands marchands d'art de l'époque et devient l’ami de Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Auguste Renoir.
En effet, c'est en 1913 qu'il rencontre Renoir. Ce dernier l’invite régulièrement chez lui aux Collettes, à Cagnes-sur-Mer. Enthousiasmé par la lumière et l’atmosphère de la Côte d’Azur, Maurice Mendjizky incite ses camarades, Modigliani, Chaïm Soutine, Léonard Foujita à le rejoindre. Après un séjour en Pologne et Russie, il revient à Paris et rencontre la Alice Prin...

Quai Gustav- Ador, the Neptune in Geneva
Located in Genève, GE
Oil on canvas signed and dated (19)46
Dimension with frame : 80.5 x 93.5 x 6 cm
This oil on canvas by Eugène Martin depicts a quiet harbor scene on the shores of Lake Geneva, most likely along the Quai Gustave-Ador. The composition centers on several moored boats resting at the water’s edge, including La Neptune, an old working vessel historically used for various forms of transport on the lake, such as goods, materials, and local service operations.
Rendered with a restrained and harmonious palette of muted greys, soft blues, and subdued greens, the painting conveys a contemplative, almost introspective atmosphere. The expansive sky dominates the composition, its weight and texture contrasting with the calm horizontal line of the shoreline and the stillness of the water. Slender masts punctuate the space vertically, lending rhythm and structure to the scene.
Martin’s brushwork is controlled yet expressive, with subtle surface texture characteristic of mid-20th-century Swiss modern figurative painting. Human presence is implied rather than shown, evoked through the working boats and harbor infrastructure. The inclusion of La Neptune, a venerable utilitarian craft, anchors the work in Geneva’s maritime and industrial history, adding documentary as well as poetic value.
This evocative lakeside painting is a strong example of Eugène Martin’s sensitivity to place, atmosphere, and quiet labor. It will appeal to collectors of European modern art, Swiss painting, and refined maritime or industrial landscapes.
