Description: Offered here is an original painting by American artist Martin Baer, circa 1930s. Painting is oil on board and measures ~6 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches. It is signed upper right. The overall framed size is ~13 x 12 inches. Painting retains partial label verso from James Vigeveno Galleries in Los Angeles. It shows title "Catalina & Ann.." I believe this painting probably dates from the 1930s, when Baer was based in Paris and making extended trips to Algeria, Spain, England, Belgium and Holland. I found another portrait of "Catalina", possibly the same girl but a few years older, done in Ibiza, Spain. Condition is good with scattered surface crazing. Includes fabulous original frame. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Martin Baer (1894-1961) Martin Baer - Small Gem -Portrait of Two Young Girls circa 1930s/40s Click image to enlarge Description Offered here is an original painting by American artist Martin Baer, circa 1930s.

Martin and his brother George (1893-1971) studied art at the AIC, in Munich and in Paris at Ecole des Beaux Arts. Following their art studies the brothers spent two years on the outskirts of the Sahara Desert in North Africa where they painted and lived among the Arabs. Leaving Africa, Martin traveled to Paris and was active there until 1940. With war approaching he returned to the U.S. and soon had a studio-home on the Monterey Peninsula. His last 13 years were spent in San Francisco; he died there on Feb. 14, 1961.
