MILD BLEMISHES IN THE LACQUER. 17 by 22 INCHES. I CONSIDER MYSELF AN ART PATRON. SEEKING OTHER PATRONS TO DO LONG TERM BUSINESS WITH. LIFETIME COLLECTOR/ARTIST/ ART AND ANTIQUES DEALER/ESTATE LIQUIDATOR TRAVIS SAMUEL. SAVE ME AS YOUR FAVORITE ART AND ANTIQUES DEALERS. I CONSIDER HOW MUCH TIME EACH WORK OF ART TOOK TO MAKE. I MEASURE SKILL LEVEL. HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE THE ARTIST TO MAKE IT. AND HOW MUCH TIME DID IT TAKE THE ARTIST TO GET THAT GOOD AT THEIR CRAFT. WHAT WOULD IT COST TO MAKE TODAY BY A PRO ARTIST? THIS IS MY JOB AND A TRAVEL FAR TO GET EACH OF THESE THINGS. NO SHOPS LEFT TO SHOP. I DO NOT AIM OR ASPIRE TO BE THE CHEAPEST ART DEALER IN THE HISTORY OF THIS BUSINESS. SOME ITEMS ARE OVERRICED BECAUSE I LOVE THEM. AND THAT IS THE COST TO PRY IT FROM MY HANDS. SOME ITEMS ARE UNDERCOST BECAUSE OF LACK OF RESEARCH. AUCTIONS RECORDS CAN MEAN SOMETHING OR NOTHING. BITCOIN ALSO ONCE WAS A DOLLAR. TODAY THIS ITEM IS FOR SALE AND ITS BEING OFFERED AND DISPLAYED CLEARLY. MORE THAN ONE RETURN MAY RESULTS IN PERMINENT BLOCK OF YOUR ACCOUNT. THIS CAN BE EASILY PREVENTED BY READING DESCRIPTIONS AND ASKING QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM. BE SURE YOU LOVE IT. MOST AVERAGE SIZE PACKAGES ARE 75-200 DOLLARS ONE WAY. LARGER PAINTINGS MAY COST ME 800 ONE WAY. SOMETIMES COLORS CAN DIFFER FROM YOUR SCREEN AND COLOR SETTINGS. AS SHOWN MY FEEDBACK REPRESENTS SOLID BUSINESS. ITEMS REPRESENTED TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. ITEMS CLEARLY SHOWN WITH ACCURATE PICTURES AND DESCRIPTION. IT ALSO TAKES 10 MINUTES TO AN HOUR TO LOCATE EACH ITEM. ACCOUNTS WILL BE BLOCKED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS. UNPAID ITEMS WITH ME. THIS IS MORE OF A BUSINESS THAN SOCIAL PLATFORM.

Vintage SAN FRANCISCO MODERNIST CITYSCAPE Painting by CaLiFoRnia Regionalist George Post. Painting is signed lower middle. Painting is in excellent original condition. Measures 15″ x 22″. Studied: California School of Fine Arts (San Francisco), Academie Frochot (Paris). Member: American Watercolor Society, California Water Color Society. In 1921, he received a scholarship to study at the California School of Fine Arts. His teachers were Gottardo Piazzoni, Otis Oldfield, Ray Boynton, Spencer Macky and Constance Macky. By 1930, Post was married and working as a commercial artist, while privately painting watercolors of San Francisco cityscape subjects. Although he received little instruction in watercolor at art school, he became very interested in this medium while viewing a show of outstanding watercolors by Stanley Wood in 1929. After that he became a committed watercolorist, producing works on a daily basis. When California became known as the center of a new movement in watercolor painting, Post had already produced a large body of work and was prepared to do exhibitions at museum and gallery shows. George presented one-man shows at the San Francisco Art Center, San Francisco Museum of Art, Oakland Art Gallery, Sacramento College Art Gallery, California Palace of the Legion of Honor, Sacramento Art Center and in a number of private galleries. His watercolors done for the P. Art Project were exhibited at the M. De Young Memorial Museum and a mural he painted in Sonora received positive reviews in the newspaper. As a member of the California Group, George Post’s works traveled in shows throughout America. Post’s watercolors, particularly the geometric abstractionist works done after the war, were well received in art circles throughout California. His style was modern enough to be exhibited in the progressive art shows and representational enough to be included in more conservative ones. His goals were to capture the essence of design and feeling offered by the subject, rather than to produce a realistic picture of the scene. Although many of his watercolors look deceptively simple, they are masterfully composed, spontaneously painted, and have a creative use of shadow and light to establish a definite mood. In addition to his painting career, Post also taught art for many years, in 1947, he was offered a job teaching at the California College of Arts and Crafts that only required him to teach two days per week. In the summers, he taught at the Brandt-Dike Summer School of Painting. When they closed the school, he taught summers for the T. Hewett Watercolor Workshops at various locations around the world. In 1991, a book titled George Post, which documents his life and art, was published by Hillcrest Press, Inc. (PO Box address may be subject to a surcharge). Thank You & Best wishes.
