NEW YORK – On Wednesday, February 21, starting at 3 pm Eastern time, Jasper52 will conduct its next Exquisite Fine Art Paintings and Prints auction, featuring precisely 200 lots of choice works of art. Absentee and Internet live bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers.

Leading the highlights is a circa-1960s-1970s French School Surrealist oil on canvas, estimated at $2,500-$3,000. It depicts a chic young woman clad in what appears to be colorful foliage standing before a classical city – perhaps Milan – and a backdrop of a hazy orange sky.

A more conventional offering is The Sleepy Fishing Town, a 1950s French School coastal landscape that measures a generous 25 by 45in. A cluster of boats occupies the foreground as a single vessel approaches the group, with a shoreline dominated by mountains visible behind it. The work is estimated at $1,500-$2,000.

Also on offer is a circa-1960s French School mid-century Modern bizarre figurative work, estimated at $2,000-$2,500. It shows a top-hatted individual inside a bottle, waving flags, with their lower body partially obscured by a sign that reads ‘sante sobriete liberte egalite fraternite’, which translates to ‘health sobriety freedom equality fraternity’, an augmentation of the national motto of France.

NEW YORK — Antonio Cirino (1888-1983) is best known for his lush and jewel-toned landscapes, particularly of the Cape Ann/Rockport, Massachusetts coastline. Emigrating from Italy as a toddler, he grew up in the Italian American section of Providence, R.I., and first set foot in Rockport in the 1920s. He then regularly summered here while spending winters in Providence. This was during the height of the Progressive Era when artists began flocking to idyllic and scenic places throughout the Northeast to paint. Artist colonies were established in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Long Island, Cape Cod and the Catskills to name a few. The Cape Ann and Rockport/Gloucester areas were particularly appealing to artists and many flocked here.
