Oils, Drawings & Watercolors

In our fast-paced digital world, fashion illustration exerts a charming hold. That's why we were both beguiled and transported by this collection of hand-painted Vogue covers by contemporary Spanish artist, Eduardo Oliva. Nostalgic and emotive, illustration has evolved into a highly specialized medium with something of a cult following. Based on a cover from 1930, we love this watercolor for its soft palette, surrealist mood, and the artful, uneven edges of the paper.

This work is part of a series of 4 watercolors, each sold separately. They're striking on their own but would be especially lovely grouped together in a powder room or boudoir. This piece is floated and framed in crisp white with UV-protectant plexiglass.

With exhibitions in Madrid, Barcelona and Miami, Eduardo Oliva has gained international success. His prolific body of work includes a range of formats, from small-scale illustrations to monumental, Cubist-inspired murals.

Nostalgic and emotive, fashion illustration has evolved into a highly specialized medium with something of a cult following. This particular watercolor is based on a 1930 cover by Harriet Meserole for the famed fashion title. We love it for its graphic quality (the grid-like crosshatching of her stylish hat and the dazzling play of her polka dot dress), the model's insouciant pose and the artful, uneven edges of the paper.

We love this watercolor of an elegant, lithe archer, which is based on a 1931 cover for the famed fashion title.

We love the graceful lines of this elegant figure drawing by Rolando Rosler. Rendered in expressive pastel and gorgeously framed in 19th-century silver leaf, it has a serene, intimate presence. The work would lend an ethereal beauty to any space. 

A sign of hopefulness and peace, this mixed media study of a single dove by the late Paul Chidlaw would be a welcome addition to any gallery wall or tablescape.

A student at L'École des Beaux Arts in Fontainebleau during the 1920's, Paul Chidlaw had a varied and prolific career in the art world. He painted commissions for the WPA, became a revered professor at the Art Academy of Cincinnati and mentored luminaries like Tom Wesselmann and Jim Dine. He was also an early proponent of Abstract Expressionism. Chidlaw passed away in 1989.

Housed in a 19th-century gilt frame, this pencil drawing by Czech-American artist Jan Matulka has an elegant simplicity. We framed it with museum plexiglass so you can appreciate the subtle shading and clean lines without glare. We see this beauty in modern and traditional interiors alike.

Late Ohio-based artist Paul Chidlaw enlivens classic still life with a modern palette and a loose, gestural hand. Taken from the pages of a notebook, we matted this oil sketch on paper and framed it in simple white. It's expressive, eye-catching and completely timeless.

We love the daring, vivid shades of turquoise, citron and carnelian in this still life oil sketch by the late Paul Chidlaw. With a palette like this and a loose, gestural hand, the artist imbues classic still life composition with fresh energy and a playful point of view. We matted this piece and framed it simply in natural wood. We think it's a total scene-stealer.
