Arnold Friedman studied with Robert Henri and Kenneth Hayes Miller at the Art Students League in 1905 .
Yet as he developed his style he abandoned the academic influence of his teacher.
He started experimenting with materials and techniques.
Friedmans intimate style recalls a variety of post-impressionist artists such as Pointillism of Pisarro, Vuillard and Nabis, and perhaps even Seurat.
His thick application of paint has definitive textual impasto that was influenced by his trip to Paris in 1909.

By Ernest Fiene
Located in Miami, FL
Ernest Fiene depicts Fifth Avenue, looking down from 57th Street, with an unobstructed view of the Empire State Building, as an evocation of night. The artist captures a dark, moody blue sky, with light bouncing back from the clouds. This contrasts with the somewhat haunting yellow glow given to pedestrians and street traffic. The absence of newer glass-and-steel architecture provides the painting with the charm of old New York. The people have a slightly zombie-like quality, akin to George Tooker. Condition: Good/Fair. Best viewed with a top and direct gallery light...

Trout Rock- American Impressionist
By Frank Vincent Dumond
Located in Miami, FL
This stunning work features Mr. Dumond's trademark green.
Trout Rock
Signed lower left: F. V. Dumond
Titled on stretcher with artist's estate stamp: Trout Rock
From a Texas Estate.
Of all Frank Vincent DuMond's landscapes, "Trout Rock" of the 1930s brings together the core principles he practiced and professed as a painter and teacher for over half a century.
Besides radiating a timeless beauty of nature, the painting promotes the idea that embodies the principles of dignity, universal truth - that art gives meaning to life. To DuMond, the scene evokes man’s connection to nature, spirituality, and inner peace. It is masterfully composed and brilliantly painted.
Hidden in the verdant embrace of Nova Scotia's rustic landscape. A single figure emerges more as a shape than a specific individual.
At first, we are not sure what he is doing. On closer inspection. We see the faint indication of a fishing pole and the splash of his fishing lure.
He's a fly fisherman. Although small in size, DuMond’s compositional devices of diagonals and pyramid shapes lead the viewer's eye to him.
The scene is composed of a series of interconnected shapes and forms. DuMond was an advocate of “Massing” or reducing pictorial elements to a simplified state and then adding detail if required.
“Trees have individuality and character as well as characteristic patterns derived from species… They must be seen first as patterns in groups in the landscape, then also as individuals within the mass.” As a teacher he encouraged his students to “ squint” at a scene to break it down to the basics.
"Trout Rock’s” color scheme also reflects DuMond’s signature color theory. He invented a palette loosely called the “Gold to Violet principle”, where the artist would lay down paint on glass, like a color chart in prismatic progression of color, light to dark, and unsaturated to saturated.
We see subtle indications of this in "Trout Rock’s meticulous paint application that draws equally from Impressionism and Pointillism, heightened by his seductive signature greens that have an inner light. Move close to the paint surface, and whole sections are composed of tiny dots and dashes that blend optically, creating vibrant depth and luminosity.
Frank Vincent DuMond is a historic figure in American art and art education who taught at the Art Students League for over 60 years.
Among his students were Norman Rockwell, Georgia O'Keeffe, John Marin, and my father, Milton Funk.
Frank Vincent DuMond was an artist, illustrator, and painter, mostly of the Tonalist school...

Civil Rights, Racial Justice Little Rock
By Philip Evergood
Located in Miami, FL
"Civil Rights." Evergood's early commentary on racial issues in the 1950s depicts four black men gagged, roped and hanging from a tree. In the background, imprisoned blacks look on through a barbed-wire fence. Whites watch in horror but do nothing to help. Meanwhile, a two-legged and three-headed serpent who symbolizes evil - wraps himself around the tree that physically and symbolically separates the races. This is an important work in the history of American art. It may be one of the very earliest examples of a major American painter doing a major work that challenges racial segregation and injustice at a time when no one else would. The title of the work is inspired by a Historic Supreme Court decision on racial segregation. The Little Rock...

Jean Louis Hamon artfully presents the mythological subject: Aurora the Goddess of Dawn. She is dressed in a flowing toga, standing on a large leaf and smelling the sweetness of a flower in bloom.

Hamon meticulously renders the scene with the academic precision of Bouguereau. The closer you get, the more detail you discover. Two butterflies sit atop Aurora's head. Droplets of water gracefully roll down her hair.
