J. James Akston Mountain Landscape by ocean Acrylic on Board Frame: 11.5 x 16. Image: 5 X 9.5 Joseph James Akston was a Polish American sculptor, painter, known for surrealist abstract painting and Aubusson (for Les Ateliers Pinton Frères, tapisserie, Aubusson) tapestry artist. Born in Warsaw, Poland in 1898 he died in Palm Beach Florida in 1983. During the 1960s and '70s the entrepreneur-artist James Joseph Akston adopted a unique Surreal Expressionist style in order to present his private primordial universe and lampoon its denizens, a ribald cast of animal creatures with human foibles. A successful industrialist, he began his career with General Motors foreign operations and then started his own business. Intermittently he studied painting, first with Jerry Farnsworth in North Truro (Mass.) and then with Jose Clemente Orozco in Mexico. In the early 1960s Akston became publisher-editor of a group of art publications which included The Magazine Arts. Initially an abstract expressionist, Akston had one-man exhibitions at the New York Convention Center and the Corcoran Museum in Washington. Since 2015 the record price for this artist at auction is $12,575 USD for Spheres Aux Triangles Aubusson Tapestry, sold at Bonhams New York in 2019. He was a Graduate of Georgetown University. He sat on the board of the Norton Museum.

"Van Gogh Again" Original Oil on Canvas by Beat Poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti Large scale painting titled, (Disasters in the Sun) or "Van Gogh Again" by Bay area beat poet and abstract expressionist artist Lawrence Ferlinghetti (American, 1919-2021). Strong and bold brush work with areas of heavy impasto paint in white, mustard with black birds in a streaked sky. Signed lower left with the artists monogram "F '92", and on verso Ferlinghetti '92 titled "Van Gogh Again" (Disasters in the Sun) Image 40"H x 53.5" Framed, 41.75"H x 54.25"W x 1.75" Lawrence Ferlinghetti was born in New York of an Italian-Portuguese-Sephardic immigrant family in 1919. He graduated in 1941 from the School of Journalism at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (where he worked on the literary magazine founded by Thomas Wolfe). During the Second World War he spent four years on U.S. Navy ships and commanded a U.S. Navy subchaser at the Normandy invasion, saw Nagasaki six weeks after the A-bomb, and after the War earned an M.A. at Columbia University and a doctorate in literature at the University of Paris. He began drawing from the model at the Academie Julien in Paris in 1948 and continued in the open studios of the San Francisco Art Institute in the 1950's, 70's and 80's. In 1953 he rented a large loft at 9 Mission Street, San Francisco, just vacated by Hassel Smith. Originally identifying with the New York painters of his generation, namely Franz Kline and Willem DeKooning, he pursued what he now considers a "farcical attempt" to paint in an Abstract Expressionist style. Having reached an impasse, he stopped painting and did not pick up a brush again until the mid-1970's when he returned to figurative painting, sometimes very close to abstraction, and often combining the lyrical and the political. Since then Ferlinghetti has had many one-man exhibitions in this country and abroad. His most important solo show in Europe was at the Palace of Exhibitions in Rome (1996). In the catalogue for that show, the famous Italian art critic, Achille Bonito Oliva, characterized Ferlinghetti as "godfather of the [Italian] trans-avant garde." Lately he has been associated with European Fluxus art, with shows in Verona and Florence curated by Francesco Conz. Solo exhibitions in the United States include the shows at the Butler Institute of American Art, the Anita Shapolsky Gallery in New York, the Molly Barnes Gallery in Santa Monica, Dominican University in San Rafael, William Turner Gallery in Venice California, Kleinert James Gallery in Woodstock New York, and the George Krevsky Gallery in San Francisco.

Original Washington, Go By Train, Pennsylvania Railroad vintage poster. Linen backed in fine condition. B+, A- condition. A tear in the poster was restored during linen backing. Minor scuff marks near the left edge and on the red lettering of on the bottom. The image of a bald Eagle as the blue sky is behind the enlarged image of the Capitol dome. The lower portion of the building is resting in the shadows. The poster captures the majestic beauty of the United States Capitol dome in Washington, D.C., symbolizing American democracy and government. Including the eagle soaring in the sky behind the Capitol Dome reinforces patriotic themes and evokes a sense of national pride. Overall, this poster exemplifies the Pennsylvania Railroad's marketing efforts to entice travelers to choose rail travel for their journeys. It promises them not only efficient transportation but also a sense of national pride and connection to iconic American landmarks. The Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) was one of the largest and most influential railroad companies in the United States, operating from 1846 until 1968. It played a pivotal role in developing the American railroad industry and expanding transportation networks across the country. Today, vintage Pennsylvania Railroad posters...
