Refugees
Leon Bibel
oil/canvas
1938
As war raged in Europe in the last century, Leon listened to the radio as he worked on his art. In 1938, as the Spanish Civil War was claiming some of his colleagues, he painted Refugees, a searing image of the effects of war on families desperately fleeing to safety. The immediacy of the conflict, and the helplessness, is captured with astonishing intensity.
Will this madness ever stop?
Almost a century later, we are witnessing an attempt to erase the Ukrainian people and culture by one madman. Ukraine is in our hearts and minds. We weep, but Ukraine must prevail.
There is no alternative.
We represent several superb contemporary artists, all of whom have special sections on our website, listed under “Artists”. We also offer an extensive collection of vintage and historic Brooklyn and New York City material among many other categories.
Our custom archival framing services also include shepherding works on paper and paintings through conservation and restoration if the artwork requires it. We have had very long relationships with excellent art professionals who are all experts in their fields. We do all of the custom framing on site. Our art and framing services are accompanied by a written guarantee.
