"Troupeau, Paissant, Sous Bois" (Herd Grazing in Undergrowth), oil on canvas, signed lower right. Charles Jacque was among the first generation of painters to leave the city for the forest of Fontainebleau, where he helped to establish the Barbizon School. Also a founding and influential member of the "Men of 1830", a loose movement of artists who, spurred on by the Revolution of 1830, sought out new directions in landscape painting. His strong, realistic, yet sensitive depictions of shepherds and their flocks form one of the most cohesive and important bodies of work produced by the movement.Born in Paris, Jacque began his training in etching rather than painting, as an apprentice to a map engraver. In this area, Jacque was unsurpassed among his colleagues in the Barbizon school. After military service, he went to England, where he worked as an engraver for La Charivari. Returning to France after two years abroad, he made his Salon debut in 1833 and regularly contributed paintings every year until 1870. Winning medals for both etching and painting, he was awarded the Legion d'honneur in 1867.During the 1840s, he and his friend, Jean-Francois Millet moved to the village of Barbizon where they felt they could more realistically portray nature. Jacque bought a house there and, influenced by Diaz's technique and Millet's themes, found his inspiration in hen-houses, pigsties and flocks of sheep at pasture. Jacque left Barbizon in 1854 and continued to paint in the outskirts of Paris until his death.Overall size: 39 x 35 in. Sight size: 24 1/2 x 20 1/2 in. Please note that all sales are final.

Titled, Star Leg, Etching, 1979, Artist Proof Limited Edition 3/ 15 . 1st State. Handcolored. Rosenquist was an American artist and one of the proponents of the pop art movement. Drawing from his background working in sign painting, Rosenquist's pieces often explored the role of advertising and consumer culture in art and society, utilizing techniques he learned making commercial art to depict popular cultural icons and mundane everyday objects.[1] While his works have often been compared to those from other key figures of the pop art movement, such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, Rosenquist's pieces were unique in the way that they often employed elements of surrealism using fragments of advertisements and cultural imagery to emphasize the overwhelming nature of ads.[2] He was a 2001 inductee into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame 26 x 43 in.

This heliogravure by Salvador Dali is titled The Queen’s Croquet Ground and comes from his Alice in Wonderland series from 1969. Dali was one of the premier surrealists in the world, and there was no better pairing for the avant-garde master of Surrelaism than the fantasy land created by Lewis Carroll in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Luckily, an editor at Random House saw the connection and commissioned Dalí to illustrate a limited edition of the classic in 1969. Dalí created twelve heliogravures for the occasion—one illustration for each chapter—as well as a four-color etching as the frontispiece. Only 2,700 of the edition were printed, and the artist signed each original etching. The heliogravure comes with a beautifully engraved passage about Alice and the Queen and the Rabbit engaging in croquet as well. The bottom edge is deckled, it is signed by Dali in the lower right margin, and it is listed as #529 in Prestel’s Dali, Catalogue Raisonne of Etchings and Mixed-Media Prints 1924 - 1980, Vol 1.O 24 x 18 1/2 in.s 17 x 11 1/2 in.Please note that all sales are final.
