Description: For sale is a wonderful oil on canvas painting by the well known and listed Long Island New York Hungarian American artist Peter "Bela Mayer" (1897 - 1992) ******PLEASE SEE OUR EBAY STORE FOR THE OTHER BELA MAYER PAINTING WE ARE SELLING****** Bela Mayer signed his paintings "Bela Mayer" up until 1940 where he then added Peter as not to be confused with female artists with the name "Bela". This painting is signed Bela Mayer so we believe it to date pre 1940 circa 1935 or close to it judging by the canvas. This painting depicts a lovely snowy New England winter farm landscape with a classic New England red barn and out buildings. Mayer painted on Long Island but also painted in New England landscapes just like this. Condition: Very Good. The frame, which is not original, being a decent contemporary frame with small areas of wear. Measurements Framed - 25 1/2" x 29 1/2" Canvas - 20" x 24" Peter Bela Mayer (1897 - 1992) Bela Mayer, landscape painter and textile designer, was born in Loeche, Hungary, 1887. It is not known when he immigrated to the United States; however he enrolled at the National Academy of Design in New York City in 1908. For the next seven years he would study art there under the tutelage of C. Y. Turner, Ivan Olinsky and E. Ward. After finishing his schooling, Mayer moved to Long Island, and would stay in the New England area all of his life. He visited Gloucester and other locations on Cape Anne, Massachusetts. Sometime during the 1940s, Bela Mayer added the Peter to his name in order to distance himself from female artists with his same first name. Though he changed his name, his belief that "balance is the most important element in a painting" never wavered; he was quoted saying this at a showing of his work in Roslyn, New Jersey in 1984. His Impressionist paintings combine the organic lines of nature perfectly with the more structural and geometric lines of man in a non-abrasive, harmonious manner. He spent his time outdoors painting towns along the Hudson and around his home in Long Island. He passed away in 1992.
