Lot 257		J. Blanche. Still Life: Peonies, Violets, Lilies and Iris. J. Blanche (not Jacques Emile Blanche) original oil on canvas: a vibrant, dramatic still life of flowers very much borrowing from the techniques and styles of 17th Century Dutch painters. These works capture an elegance and refinement that remains as popular today as the were several hundreds years past. Numerous contemporary artists in Europe have found great success in the study, inspiration and ultimately talent in breathing life once again in this genre. A beautiful example here and what especially impresses in the scale of this work. Canvas is 36 x 24 and appropriately framed in gilt wood to 46 x 33". The flowers appear lit from within the trailing of vines and greenery beautifully executed, and the large snifter of water and transparency almost hyper-real. In superior condition.

Lot 262		John Puglisi. "August in Brick City". John Puglisi is something of a Renaissance man. He has worked for a variety of studios including Disney, DreamWorks, Nickleodeon and Sony creating storyboards for some of their most acclaimed animation triumphs including HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON. But Puglisi is also a celebrated painter and his works have a strong fan base, the issue being not many being publicly available. This post modern work is typical of his style, with city skyscrapers rising like towers to the heavens, but still very much locked in 1930's to 1950s architecture. The scale of the buildings intentionally dwarf the two city dwellers below at their windows. The approach raises all kinds of themes which make his works so intriguing. 29 x 14" This is a great piece. Estimated Value $2,000 - 3,000 View details and enlarged photo	Unsold

Florence Nupok Malewotkuk (1906-1971), who also went by the name Florence Chauncey, was a Siberian Yupik artist known for her drawings of native Eskimo culture, scenes of local wildlife, and documentation of native tattoos.
