Dudley Wallis was curator at the Holburne Museum in Bath from November 1913-1917, and crucially oversaw the moving of the museum to its purpose built current home on Great Pulteney Street. Although the collection of the museum is pre-twentieth century, Wallis himself owned an important group of modern British paintings including works by Walter Sickert, Christopher Wood and Sir Matthew Smith, some of which were sold in these rooms on the eighteenth April 1951. Interestingly, Wallis' predecessor at the Holburne, Hugh Blaker, had also combined his role as curator of historical artefacts with his love of avant-garde art when he acted as art advisor to Gwendoline and Margaret Davies, whose impressive collection of impressionist and post-impressionist works of art was bequeathed to the National Museum of Wales in 1951 and 1963.
Oil on panel, dimensions: 33 x 24 cm. Gustave Loiseau went every summer to Pont-Aven, staying at the Gloanec pension with his friends Maxime Maufra, Henry Moret and Émile Bernard. Paul Gauguin gave him advice there. In 1894 he participated in the 6th, 7th and 8th exhibitions of impressionist and symbolist painters at Le Barc de Bouteville in Paris, then signed a contract with Paul Durand-Ruel who exhibited his paintings in his gallery in New York. ustave Loiseau, like Camille Pissarro, painted numerous canvases representing Pontoise: the Hermitage district, the banks of the Oise, the quay of Ponthuis, the cathedral of Saint-Maclou and its region: Auvers, Nesles-la-Vallée, Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône, Osny. He also painted landscapes of Brittany, Normandy, Moret-sur-Loing and Paris. Gustave Loiseau is part of the post-impressionist movement. He painted, directly in nature, many scenes of rural life and the countryside, few portraits, being interested however in characters in movement, such as market scenes, or in activity, such as dockers, and, especially towards the end of his life, he painted many still lifes. Loiseau's paintings reveal his passion for the seasons, illustrating everything from the beginning of spring to the last harvests of autumn, through scenes of snow or frost in winter. His series also feature cliffs, harbors or churches and are influenced by those of Claude Monet. Provenance: important Spanish private collection, Barcelona.

Cortes (Spain, b. 1963)Untitled Sailing boatsOil on canvasSigned bottom rightUnmounted & unframedCortés is a Spanish artist born in Valencia in 1963. He began law studies in his hometown, which he abandoned to devote himself exclusively to the Fine Arts. Cortés is a self-taught artist who initially came to painting with a desire to capture with his hands the innumerable natural beauties of coastal Spain and more specifically the landscapes of Valencia, the lagoon, and its beaches. A tireless traveler, over the years he has been collecting and saving images of all the cities he has visited such as Paris, Italy, Amsterdam, Casablanca, and Istanbul to later incorporate them in a very personal and free way into his paintings in oil, generically titled “Broken Landscapes” by the pictorial technique used, mainly with a palette knife. These have an impressionist style, with a range of very neutral and elegant colours that create an atmosphere in his intimate paintings. More recently, Cortés has brought his technique into a bolder, brighter, and more contemporary genre of sailing – full of energy and dynamism. He has participated in collective and private exhibitions, obtaining great admiration for the way he handles oil paint, a favourite material that very few landscape painters manage to master with the simplicity which he shows. We are thrilled to present Cortés’s vibrant sailing scenes at The Original Art Shop.Measures approx. 89.5cm x 89.5cm (35" x 35")

oil on canvas, signed (upper right) framed image size 39cm x 34cm, overall size 46cm x 40cm Note: In 1908, on the advice of Willem Knip, the successful painter WGF Jansen settled in the Gooi area, where he lived and worked in the former Blaricum Brewery. WGF Jansen was charmed by the Gooi landscape, which can often be seen in his work, which can be characterized as a typical after-bloom of the Hague School. WGF Jansen is known to have been a great admirer of The Hague Scholers such as Jacob Maris and Anton Mauve. WGF Jansen gradually developed his own impressionist style. He was known as an extremely skilled painter with a powerful and balanced temperament, who did not allow himself to be influenced by anything or anyone in his vision. Despite his friendship with many artists from Laren, he developed his own independent style of work. He was widely praised for his highly developed sense of colour nuances and his smooth brushwork. He sold well, far beyond the country's borders. Jansen was a landscape painter in the broadest sense of the word. With a few exceptions, his oeuvre mainly includes river views, forest landscapes, beach views and cityscapes. Work by WGF Jansen is included in the collection of the Singer Museum in Laren. And can also be seen in Galerie Wijdemeren, alongside work by other well-known Laren painters. Jansen lived and worked in Haarlem, Amsterdam and Blaricum. He also worked a lot in the field in Brabant and Drenthe. He was also a student of the arts and crafts school in Haarlem. He started out as a pottery painter and later painted many landscapes with cows and horses, cityscapes and beach views with shell fishermen, all in the vein of the Hague School. Willem George Frederik Jansen was born in Harlingen on 25 December 1871 and started his career as an artist at the age of 20. Before that, he trained as a blacksmith and worked at the State Railways in Tilburg, at Figee in Haarlem and at the Conrad shipyard in Haarlem. His friendship there with a decorative painter marked a turning point in his life and he decided to study decorative arts at the arts and crafts school in Haarlem. After his education, he worked as a decorative painter in Amsterdam and mainly painted ceilings in Den Bosch, Leeuwarden and Maastricht. He was then offered a job in the earthenware factory Rozenburg where he could work on his own designs for a long time until he was offered a position in the earthenware factory in Gouda and later in the earthenware factory "De Distel" in Amsterdam. That Jansen has done well in pottery is proven by the many awards he received for this. He won the silver medal in St. Louis and the gold medal of "Arti et Industriae" for pottery designs in The Hague. In 1898 he married Hillegonda Zijlstra and between 1903 and 1908 he lived in The Hague and Amsterdam. It is written that after a visit to Willen Knip in Laren, he was persuaded by him to come to the Gooi where he settled shortly afterwards on June 19, 1908 in the former "Brewery" in Blaricum, where several painters had lived and worked before him. He was particularly interested in the work of Josef Israëls, Anton Mauve and Jacob Maris. He became a member of the Haagse Kunstkring and became friends with its founder, Theophile de Bock. There he must have become acquainted with the work of Jan Toorop, Thorn Prikker, Van Gogh and the new movements from Belgium and France at an early age. Despite all this, he remained true to his own style. After a short stay in Haarlem, Jansen moved to Amsterdam in 1906. During the difficult years of the war, he devoted himself to helping people in hiding. Jansen was certainly a master in colouring and his palette had a wide range of greys and whites just for his cloudy skies. But also in peasant scenes with ploughing horses or oxen, sensitivity to colour is his trademark. Trees, meadows, the ploughed fields are recognizable by a wide variety of greens and ochres, with an airy woolly touch. Undoubtedly, he was one of the highly skilled artists in the Gooi region. He continued to live in Blaricum until he died on 21 June 1949 at the age of 77.
