About the Item

Portrait of a man titled Doc attributed to Judith Diem (American, 1912-2006). Judith Diem was born in St. Louis, Missouri and studied at the St. Louis School of Fine Art. Diem was primarily known for her figure, allegory, landscape, and mural paintings. Unsigned and titled verso. Image, 24"H x 20"L. Modernist painter and muralist, Barbara Stevenson used the pseudonym of Judith Deim and has had an active career based in California while wandering many parts of the world. She was born in St. Louis, Missouri on March 11, 1911 and studied at the St. Louis School of Fine Art on a scholarship, graduating in the middle of the Depression. She earned money by working on the Federal Arts Project, and a post office mural project took her to California in the mid 1930s. After the completion of that project, she assisted former classmate Ellwood Graham with murals in the Ventura Post office, and later they married. From 1952, she began traveling extensively, and in the late 1960s, lived with her children in Spain. Today she lives in an Indian village near Pátzcuaro, Mexico. Exh: CPLH, 1940; SFMA, 1941; Carmel AA, 1946 (solo); NAD, 1947; San Jose Museum, 1982; Patzcuraro Museum, 1988. In: San Jose State Univ. (John Steinbeck). Murals: Ventura (CA) Post Office; St Louis High School; Veterans Hospital (Washington, DC); Salinas (CA) Hospital; Oak Grove Grammar School (Monterey). Edan Hughes, "Artists in California, 1786-1940" Judith Deim, the subject of a recent documentary film ``Ghost Bird: The Life and Art of Judith Deim,'' which plays on the Sundance Channel, was born in St. Louis, Mo. on March 11, 1911. She arrived in Monterey, California in the mid-1930s, with her husband, artist Ellwood Graham. At the time she painted under the name Barbara Stevenson. (Steve Hauk 2006)Friends and associates included author John Steinbeck, marine biologist Ed Ricketts (the character "Doc'" in Steinbeck's novel ``Cannery Row''), Joseph Campbell, artists James Fitzgerald and Bruce Ariss, photographer Edward Weston, composer and artist John Cage, and others. Twice Steinbeck gave Deim and Graham money so they could travel to Mexico to paint. In 1946 she was given the first solo show of any artist by the Carmel Art Association. In the early 1950s Deim and her children left the Monterey Peninsula and traveled the world, from Europe to Africa and finally to Mexico, where she now makes her home in Patzcuaro, in the Michucan in a small Indian village. ``Ghost Bird: The Life and Art of Judith Deim'' traces the artist's odyssey. At age 91 she continues to paint and exhibit.

At the Yacht Club

By Edward Cucuel

Located in Costa Mesa, CA

Artist Edward Cucuel and his wife Clara Lotte von Marcard spent their first two decades together in Germany, mostly in a villa on Lake Ammersee in Holzhausen near Munich. It is the works created in this period, mainly outdoor scenes of young women in fashionable attire of the day, that are most collected and appreciated among his works. It’s easy to see why- they capture an elegance and sense of calm and easy leisure- of long days in gardens or by the water. This is one of those captured moments with a well-dressed woman watching the sailing yacht...

Woman praying oil on canvas painting

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Frame size 70x61 cm. José Muntané Balaguer (1889 - 1963) Immerse yourself in the spiritual beauty of "Woman Praying," a sublime work by the acclaimed Spanish artist José Muntané Balaguer. This oil on canvas captures the serenity and introspection of faith, showcasing a masterful use of light and shadow reminiscent of great masters such as Joaquín Sorolla, Ignacio Zuloaga, and even the emotional restraint of Diego Velázquez in his most intimate portraits. The painting depicts the purity of a devotional moment, where the female figure seems to transcend the canvas, inviting the viewer to reflect on spirituality and human connection. The meticulous attention to detail and subtlety in expressions place Muntané Balaguer in the tradition of artists who immortalized scenes of everyday life with unique sensitivity, much like Julio Romero de Torres...
