The photogravure
and early photolithographic prints in the gallery above were collected by Statler Hotel
architect Sidney Wagner while an art student in Paris around 1905-1910 and
while living in America until the 1920's. Most of his collection has been
sold or given to an architectural museum in St Louis. Our gallery has a few
early 20th century prints ranging from the Bal des Quat'z Art of 1909 to a collection of Scribner's
Magazine covers.
There are many items of interest to Art Nouveau lovers. No reproductions. All
are original vintage pieces.

Bal des
Quat’z Arts The annual ball held by Paris
art students, with its cavalcade of costumed, silver and gold-painted,
largely nude artists and models, who set out late at night from the Moulin
Rouge and arrived in the morning at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. The Bal des Qaut’z Arts was still an event in the 1930’s, but began the
century before. In 1880’s, Alphonse Mucha was in Paris, sharing a studio with
Gaugin who had just returned from Tahiti. It was the height of Impressionism
and the beginnings of the Symbolist movement. Mucha gave impromptu art lessons in the Cremerie and helped start the artists’ Bal des Quat'z Arts. It was named after the four
plastic arts of architecture, sculpture, painting and engraving. |

Information
about Lester Varian Lester E. Varian was born in
1881 and died in 1967. He was an etcher and well-known architect who designed
several of Denver's historic buildings and captured images of many more
through his art. Lester Varian studied in Europe prior
to 1910, where he came to know William Sidney Wagner, the designer of all but
one of the Statler Hotels. Mr. Wagner was the recipient of many prints by
Varian, some purchased, and more as gifts or as a form of correspondence. Wagner kept the prints until his
death in the 1920’s, when they passed to his widow and then to the subsequent
owners of his Northport, New York home, from whom we acquired them. Information on Elsie Zarin Goll Elsie Zarin Goll is a New York
artist best known for her cityscapes, portraits, flower paintings and
Provincetown scenes. Born in 1915, Elsie Goll studied with Sol Wilson and
Xaviar Gonzalez. She has shown with the American Association of Women
Artists. Additional information will be added shortly. Some
Information about recent featured artists Peter Goll grew up in New York,
and currently lives in Haines, Alaska. He is a teacher of Renaissance
drawing theory and anatomy, paints portraits and figure studies, and engages
in various sorts of advocacy work. Peter Goll's vintage bird etchings may be
purchased through Alaska
Indian Arts, Inc. His expressionistic material
from the early 1970's is represented here as well as these early etchings.
Most of Goll's traditional bird drawings and etchings were made between
1973-1981. The bird paintings are from the 1990's. Most of the portrait paintings
and drawings were done between 1995-2003. The majority of figure drawings and
paintings were executed from 1992-2003. The gallery has some digital images,
online art and other electronic material produced after 1999. Goll taught drawing and anatomy
at the University of Alaska, communications at the University of Washington,
and assisted in the print studio of Ken Kerslake at the University of
Florida, with whom he studied photo-intaglio. He worked as an assistant to Robert Beverly Hale in his classes at the Art
Students League of New York, and studied anatomy and elements of drawing under Hale's guidance. Peter Goll exhibited both
traditionally styled bird portraits and expressionist drawings around the
country during the 1970's and early 1980's. For almost 10 years he
represented an 800-mile long election district of small, Native villages and
isolated communities in the Alaska State Legislature. He has been engaged in
portraiture; figure studies, digital and electronic art since the mid-1990's.
Some of his travel watercolors will be shown at a later date. Goll's artwork is in many public
and private collections including those of Cornell University, Mansfield
College, the New York Public Library, the United States Department of State,
American Embassies, the Alaska State Museum, the Boscov Collection, the
Sheldon Museum and others. |

New Art Gallery provides an
easy way to view or exhibit modern digital and traditional art and photography.
Alaskan art, Alaskan bird
art, Alaska nature art, and particularly Peter Goll bird etchings. We show art
by Peter Goll, Lester Varian and by other artists from around the United
States, primarily from Alaska, New York and Washington DC.
The gallery can help you
arrange for commission portraiture, including oil portraits, pencil portraits,
charcoal portraits or modern digital portrait graphics.
We offer human figure
drawings and figure paintings, studies of the nude, in photography, drawing,
painting, and digital media. The gallery shows a variety of human figure art as
well as nude studies.
Our categories change from
month to month and include human figure paintings and drawings, figure
photography, drawings and digital graphics of nudes, drawings and paintings of
birds, portrait photographs, portrait paintings, portrait drawings, online art,
Internet art and other digital graphics, GIFs and movies for computer or wall
display. We are actively soliciting moving graphics, and hope to be able to
provide improved streaming soundtracks to accompany them. Currently our music
files are downloaded with the GIFs.
We expect to increase the
number of Alaskan and northwest regional artists represented here, with fishing
boat, mountain and other typical regional scenes. In addition, we are
developing shows for Washington, DC and New York artists currently submitting
work to us.
In the months ahead, the New
Art Gallery will be showing drawings, landscape paintings, portrait
photographs, more GIFs for onscreen or wall presentation. We consider this online
and digital material to be important categories in the future. This evolving
medium will have great impact on the aesthetic landscape, and we hope to play
our part.
