Martin Baer(1894-1961) hit a home run with this piece. The peppers are so real you can taste them even though they are done in a modernist style. The painting is oil/canvas, 18" x 22"(24" x 28" including the original frame). The condition is untouched and original with no damage or repairs. The frame has carved corners and a scuffed finish which may be intentional(?) The linen liner is toned from age.Baer went to Paris in 1924 where he met important artists including Picasso and Soutine. He became director of the Carmel Art Association after he moved to California in 1941. Here is a brief biography taken from the internet: Martin Baer was born in Chicago, IL on Jan. 3, 1894. 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.
