Note: Noé Canjura is one of the most acclaimed Salvadoran artists. He was born into a poor, landless family in the village of Apopa, but he showed talent and his parents kept him in school. In the evenings he worked at a sawmill in order to supplement his family's income, but he finished school and in 1942 began his formal artistic studies at the Academy of Painting Valero Lecha in San Salvador. He was soon showing at exhibitions throughout El Salvador and Guatemala. In 1948 he traveled to Mexico City to learn from the great Mexican masters and in 1949 he moved to Paris to study at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts. France became his adopted home and his work began to incorporate ideas from the French Post Impressionists and mid-century modernists. He exhibited regularly at important salons and his reputation grew and solidified. He continued to show his work internationally and between the years 1959 and 1965 the city of Paris purchased four of his works for its permanent collection. He died in 1970 at the age of 48.

Johannes Adam Simon Oertel
Johannes Adam Simon Oertel (German/North Carolina 1823-1909) "Team of Oxen Pulling a Logging Cart Possibly Florida" oil on canvas laid onto board signed lower right 16 in. x 32 in. period frame. Note: Mostly known as a painter of religious subject matter and Civil War scenes Johannes Oertel became an ordained Episcopal minister in 1871. In 1882 Oertel moved his family to Florida where he built a sawmill and bought land for an orange grove near Orange Springs in Marion County. His plan was to allow his sons to run the businesses while he devoted himself to painting full-time. "Team of Oxen Pulling a Logging Cart" was executed during this time. Oertel's Florida art career was cut short when the business ventures did not pan out leaving this painting to be one of the few genre scenes to emerge from this period.
