Richly Textured Oil Works by Howard Behrens and H. Claude Pissarro Lead Robinhood Auctions’ Upcoming Sale

Chicago-born American artist Howard Behrens is celebrated for his distinctive texturized style developed using the palette knife technique. He specialized in landscape and seascape subjects, including the tranquil lakes of Italy and the picturesque gardens of New England. Island of Capri, an oil painting on canvas by Behrens, is a key highlight of the upcoming sale from Robinhood Auctions. It depicts Capri Island, located in the Campania region of Italy. The work is hand signed and comes with a letter of authenticity. Another richly textured oil work is a painting by H. Claude Pissarro, portraying the French countryside with cottages. Characterized by the use of thick paints, the composition is rendered in an Impressionist manner.

Itzchak Tarkay’s Spring Afternoon is also a noteworthy piece that leads the catalog. It is a three-dimensional mixed media piece over paint on wood. Like most of his other works, this one depicts a dreamy composition of elegant-looking women. His vibrant imagery was an interesting contrast to the unimaginable horrors he witnessed in childhood at the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp.
