About the Item
Oil on canvas, signed and dated in the lower right. Measures 28" x 32" including the frame. A view of the village of Ceret in France.
Pinchus Kremegne was a Latvian painter and sculptor. He was born near Vilnius, where at the age of 19 he enrolled at the School of Fine Arts. As a student in Vilnius, he became friends with Chaim Soutine and Michel Kikoine. Due to Kremegne's Jewish heritage and the growing anti-semitic sentiments, he realised that if he were to reach his full artistic potential he would have to leave. In 1912 he left for Paris, specifically La Ruche in Montparnasse. Kremegne urged his friend Soutine to also make the move to Paris, as Kikoine had already done in 1911.
Kremegne at first practised sculpting and exhibited pieces at Salon des Indépendents in 1914. From 1915, however, he focused on painting. Cubism, Fauvism and Expressionism had a particularly strong influence on his style. He became part of a tightly knit community of artists who lived and worked in Montparnasse.
Throughout his life Pinchus Kremegne created an impressive body of works, specifically striking are the powerfully expressive landscapes that he painted in Cérét in the latter part of his creative life. Another significant section of Kremegne’s oeuvre are large still lifes that he painted in the 1920s and 1930s. Although Pinchus Kremegne has always remained in the shadow of bigger names in 20th-century art history like Chagall and Soutine, it has recently been recognised that Kremegne's final years of artistic activity strongly influenced and prefigured British artists Frank Auerbach and Leon Kossoff.

"Twilight in the Hills" Luminous Autumnal Painting by William Louis Sonntag
By William Louis Sonntag Sr. 1
Located in Wiscasset, ME
A luminous Autumn oil on canvas board landscape, probably of the hills in the Hudson River Valley, by the noted American artist William Louis Sonntag (1822-1900). Signed in the lower right.
Sonntag was born near Pittsburgh, PA and moved to Cincinnati, OH in the 1840’s to study art. He studied for a brief time with G. Frankenstein at the Cincinnati Academy of Fine Art and his idealized paintings of American wilderness and visionary paintings of imagined European ruins were commercially successful. He traveled twice to Europe in the 1850’s to improve his skills, eventually settling in New York City. He joined the National Academy of Design, where he exhibited his works for forty years. His mature works identify him with the Hudson River School of landscape painters. A romantic and naturalistic painter of his surroundings, Sonntag also created idealized paintings of Roman ruins, recalling his European trips of earlier years. Sonntag was an Associate (1860) and Academician (1861) at the National Academy of Design, and a member of the American Watercolor Society, Artists Fund Society, and the American Art Union...
