Charles H. H. Burleigh (1869-1956) European

A Peacefull Room with a View

Biography/Statement

Little is known of Charles Burleigh; he was born in Brighton in 1869, the third and only son of four children. His parents seem to have kept a small private school for 30 boys from 6 to 15, which Charles Burleigh probably also attended. He trained at Brighton School of Art, and then in Paris, under Jacques-Emile Blanche; this appears to be the only period of his life when he lived elsewhere than in Brighton or Hove. The censuses record that he was still living at home with his elderly parents at the age of 22, but by 1901, when he was 33, he was boarding in Shoreham, Hove. Between this census and the next, in 1911, he had married Averil Dell, also an artist, of Hassocks in Sussex, and they were living together in Hove. Charles was 15 years older than his wife, and may possibly have met her at Brighton School of Art, if – as is probable – he supplemented his income by teaching there. Apparently they may have married rapidly and early, when Averil was 20 or 22, since planning permission for a family house in Hove was granted in 1903, and built in 1905 (see the item on the history of Burleigh’s painting of his family in the Geffrye Museum). It contained a purpose-built studio for husband and wife to share, and Charles painted his wife – also painting – in the huge bay window in 1940 (Brighton Museums & Art Galleries).

He is known for his depictions of interiors, including those in public places – such as two more belonging to Brighton Museums & Art Galleries, which show the Music Room of Brighton Pavilion and the Dome in use as military hospitals during the First World War. He was also a landscapist and a painter of urban scenes. Charles Burleigh was elected to the Royal Institute of Oil Painters (ROI) and the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours (RI). He exhibited both at the exhibitions of these institutions, and at the Royal Academy and the Fine Art Society. His wife, Averil, also exhibited at the RA and the ROI, under the name of Averil Burleigh, as did his daughter, Veronica (b.1909).

His son, Duncan, unfortunately developed an unnamed illness at the age of 18, and Averil Burleigh became seriously ill in the late 1940s. The Burleigh family taking tea in a room overlooking a garden at Wilbury Crescent, Hove, c.1947 (Geffrye Museum), although superficially a sunlit scene of domestic intimacy, records this sombre aspect to their lives; two years later Averil was dead.

Works in public collections include: Brighton Front, c.1920, Portrait of an organist, 1921, The Music Room of the Royal Pavilion, c.1923-4, Brighton Arts Club, c.1930, Lieut. Col. S. Moens, Portrait of an old man (all Brighton Museums & Art Galleries); plus works in The Slade & UCL, London, and in other provincial art galleries.

Levi Wells Prentice (1851-1935) American

Medium: Oil on Canvas
Image Size: 12” x 18”
Frame Size: 22” x 28”
Signature: Signed on Basket
Price: SOLD

Biography/Statement

Born in Lewis County, New York in the Adirondack Mountains, he earned a reputation for painting still lifes in landscape, although he began his career painting only the landscape.  His still lifes were of two types, either arrangements placed in the landscape or close-ups of fruit growing on trees or falling out of baskets.

He was raised on a farm from where he painted the mountain landscape of Lewis County and also painted in the vicinity of Buffalo and Syracuse.  In 1883, he moved to Brooklyn, New York, where he worked as a carpenter, frame- maker, and art teacher and also began painting still lifes objects, something that by 1894, he focused on exclusively, especially highly polished and well defined apples.

He left Brooklyn in 1903, and from that time, little is known except that his obituary was in the Philadelphia newspapers in 1935.

Leslie Gabosh (N/A) Contemporary, American

Medium: Oil on Board
Image Size: 6” x 8”
Frame Size: 10” x 12”
Signature: Monogram lower right
Price: $900

Biography/Statement

Leslie Gabosh has been a working artist for over 40 years, painting still life as well as designing and fabricating jewelry.  As a painter, her inspiration has been the 17th century and 18th century Dutch and Flemish paintings of the Golden Age, Spanish paintings of the 18th century, and the 19th century American painters.  “My subjects are the incidentals of daily life.  When I study the paintings of Adriaen Coorte, Willem van Aelst, and Luis Melendez, I see similar concerns and delights.”

Gabosh also enjoys the addition of contemporary subjects that add a whimsical touch and resonate with her aesthetic sensibility.  Historically, translucence and luminosity of natural objects have appealed to artists and viewers; they relay a sense of tranquility and serenity that cancels out the noise of everyday chaos.  A moment of quiet reflection can produce a calm and meditative perspective on these ordinary and highly recognizable objects.

“My work is painted from life with intentionally organized and illuminated arrangements. Some objects come from my own garden where I have a deep and long-standing relationship with my trees and plants.  These small-format panels catch the eye from across the room and compel the viewer to move closer.  Although these are unremarkable objects, they are a pathway to thoughts and memories, and a window into the world of the artists who inspire me.”

Dan Rupe (N/A) Contemporary, American

Medium: Oil on Canvas
Image Size: 22” x 24”
Frame Size: 26” x 30”
Signature: Signed upper right
Price: $2500

Biography/Statement

Dan Rupe paints the town he loves (Hudson, New York) with expressive abandon and a high-keyed palette. Inspired by the diverse architecture and color of the jumbled mix of historic and commercial and community landmarks, Rupe likes to be out on the street first thing in the morning, taking in the sensations of town. He paints only from life, his composition ruled by his intuitive sense of formal order. He begins covering his canvas with a deep crimson wash. This ground gives his brilliant pure color , applied with an expressive, direct gesture, an electric charge. No matter how often or how long one looks at a Rupe painting, it is always the present tense. The tone of his palette, the freshness and clarity of primary colors, reflects an optimistic attitude, an intrinsic love of life.

Dan has studied at Interlochen Arts Academy, Kansas City Art Institute and Boston MFA School. Many one man and group shows in Boston, Chicago, Provincetown, New York, Phoenix, Kansas City, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. Earlier representation in Provincetown was at the famed Ellen Harris Gallery. He was chosen as International Artist in Residence in 1988 by Altos De Chavon (La Romana, Dominican Republic).

Corporate collections include: AT & T, Bank of Oklahoma, Ameritech Mobile, Midwest Mus. of Art, State of Illinois, Mission Hills State Bank, Heineman Bakeries and PAAM. Was featured artist for Provincetown AIDS Support Group Annual Auction in 1996. Avid collectors include the former Governor of Illinois Jim Thompson and Mayor of Chicago Jane Byrne.
