clement, (t.c.) steele american (1847-1926) \"noonday october\", brown county landscape with hilltop view, 1916 oil on canvas signed and dated lower left. purchased from kenneth probst galleries, chicago, 2001. from the collection of william and nancy hunt, indianapolis, in. proceeds to benefit the eskenazi museum of art at indiana university, (iu), bloomington. biography from the archives of askart: one of the most outspoken proponents of impressionism* in the midwest, theodore steele became a leading artist of the hoosier school*, indiana painters who were the first midwestern impressionists. their favorite place to paint was in brown county, where they gathered at steele's home, known as the \"house of the singing winds.\" he was from waveland, indiana, and began his career as a portrait painter, although he also did a few landscapes. in 1873, he moved to indianapolis and cultivated a friendship with herman lieber, who became his patron. steele studied at the indiana school of art with its founder john love, who had studied with jean leon gerome in paris and had also painted at barbizon*. lieber raised the funds to send steele and his family to europe, and steele chose to go to munich because of being able to study there with frank duveneck, prominent ohio painter, and because it was less expensive than paris. steele's primary teacher in munich was ludwig loefftz, with whom he studied figure painting. he also worked with expatriate j. frank currier. in 1885, steele returned to indianapolis and established an art school with william forsyth. he did both portraiture and landscapes, many of them dark and dramatic in the style known as the munich school*. the next year, he began to explore the indiana countryside and turned almost completely to

and nancy hunt, indianapolis, in. proceeds to benefit the eskenazi museum of art at indiana university, (iu), bloomington. biography from the archives of askart: one of the most outspoken proponents of impressionism* in the midwest, theodore steele became a leading artist of the hoosier school*, indiana painters who were the first midwestern impressionists. their favorite place to paint was in brown county, where they gathered at steele's home, known as the \"house of the singing winds.\" he was from waveland, indiana, and began his career as a portrait painter, although he also did a few landscapes. in 1873, he moved to indianapolis and cultivated a friendship with herman lieber, who became his patron. steele studied at the indiana school of art with its founder john love, who had studied with jean leon gerome in paris and had also painted at barbizon*. lieber raised the funds to send steele and his family to europe, and steele chose to go to munich because of being able to study there with frank duveneck, prominent ohio painter, and because it was less expensive than paris. steele's primary teacher in munich was ludwig loefftz, with whom he studied figure painting. he also worked with expatriate j. frank currier. in 1885, steele returned to indianapolis and established an art school with william forsyth. he did both portraiture and landscapes, many of them dark and dramatic in the style known as the munich school*. the next year, he began to explore the indiana countryside and turned almost completely to landscape painting because he was fascinated in the way it conveyed a sense of place. his work became much more colorful, and gradually his style became much more impressionistic. by 1893, steele was exhibiting impressionist paintings at the chicago exposition of 1893*, and newspaper reporters and other writers, particularly hamlin garland, became publicizing steele and other midwestern impressionists. steele emerged as the leader and also became

jobs that opened up to him every corner of paris. he sketched everything he saw and finally started studying art with an academician whose idea of instruction was to have his pupils copy plaster casts hour after hour. \"this is not life, \" said daumier, and he struck out on his own. a year later, the boy enrolled in the academy suisse, an informal school where students could draw from the model in the mornings and still hold down jobs. though daumier was never a flamboyant bohemian, he was soon part of a group of young artists from the school, some of whom became lifelong friends. if the teenager didn't have the money for oils or canvas (presumably why so little of his student work survives), in studios and cafes he drew the way other people talked. daumier was on his way to becoming one of the greatest draftsman who ever lived. the lithograph was a comparatively new art in those days, but it quickly became daumier's bread and butter. he began turning out political cartoons for an ardently antiroyalist magazine called la caricature. one cartoon portrayed king louis philippe as gargantua gobbling up every last sou in france. for such indiscretions daumier spent six months in prison. he was the first french artist to get to the hall of fame because the people liked his little drawings, instead of the aristocracy liking his big salon paintings. no sooner was he out again than he started producing more cartoons for another magazine. in 1846, at the age of thirty-eight, he married a young seamstress called didine and settled down in an apartment on the quai d'anjou. there, in a bare attic studio, using crayons until they were so worn he could no longer hold them, and whistling the latest music-hall tunes, daumier turned out lithographs of arrogant aristocrats, greedy landlords, sour-faced men and nagging wives, sinister lawyers and pompous judges. sometimes his humor was gentle; occasionally it was savage; it was always perceptive. daumier made lithographs, 3958 in all, until he went blind at sixty-five. but all along he was painting, though no more than a handful of his canvases were shown in public before the last year of his life. compared with the more spectacular romantics, he seemed rough and unfinished. nor did he understand the work of the new impressionists. he was a superlative draftsman whose brush drew spare and strong, and whose preoccupation was people. no matter how ordinary their acts, daumier gave drama and dignity to their lives. he was ruthless in his candor, but his candor was born of concern. the painter daumier was a rotund gentle person who cared far more for others than for himself. there were never any extras for daumier. a year before he died at seventy, a group of friends, led by victor hugo, arranged a show of his paintings. it closed dismally with a deficit of 4000 francs. daumier's most celebrated work was a series of 'robert macaire' published in the 'charivari'. his graphic works are unsurpassed for clarity, expressiveness, truth to type and nervously rhythmic life. he did not draw directly from nature, but from human nature, and this he did as fully as any artist who ever lived. but he was thought for years unworthy to occupy a single foot of space at the official salon's shows. one saturday night at theodore rousseau's barn in the village of barbizon, a gathering that included corot, millet, daubigny, diaz and bayre, along with daumier himself, voted to form their own anti-salon independent artists' society. no one ever represented with greater truth the varied type of parisian character. he became blind in 1877, then died suddenly in 1879 of a stroke at valmondois (seine-et-oise) in a house given him by corot, the landscape painter. compiled and submitted august 2004 by jean ershler schatz, artist and researcher from laguna woods, california 6\"h x 5 1/2\"w \n dimensions: 6 x 5.5 in"},"estimateMax":500,"lotNumber":"49","title":{"en":"honore daumier, french (1808-1879), head of a man, bronze bust, 6\"h x 5 1/2\"w"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/ripleyauctions/source/catalog/auction/65610/lot/17247/view","tags":["usart_sculpture","usart","usart_all"],"directSalePrice":100,"soldPrice":700,"lastUpdate":"2026-08-11T19:51:07.849Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"$300 -

missouri on april 15, 1889. even as a boy, he was no stranger to the \"art of the deal\" or to the smoke-filled rooms in which such deals were often consummated. his grandfather had been missouri's first united states senator and served in washington for thirty years. his father, maecenas benton, was united states attorney for the western district of missouri under cleveland and served in the united states house of representatives during the mckinley and theodore roosevelt administrations. benton's brother, nat, was prosecutor for greene county, missouri, during the 1930s. as soon as he could walk, benton traveled with his father on political tours. there he learned the arts of chewing and smoking, and while the men were involved in their heated discussions, benton delighted in finding new cream colored wallpaper on the staircase wall, at the age of six or seven, and drew in charcoal his first mural, a long multi-car freight train. as soon as he was eighteen, even though his father wanted him to study law, benton left for chicago where he studied at the art institute during the years 1907 and 1908. he continued his studies in paris, where he learned delicious wickedness, aesthetic and otherwise. once back home, he became the leader of the regionalist school, the most theatrical and gifted of the 1930s muralists and as harry truman described him, \"the best damned painter in america.\" detractors said that benton was \"a fascist, a communist, a racist and a bigot\"; the ingenious structure, powerful use of modeling and scale and the high-colored humanity of the murals and easel paintings are retort enough. he was a dark, active dynamo, only 5 ft., 3 1/2 in. tall. he was outspoken, open, charmingly profane; he had a great mane of hair and a face the texture of oak bark. he wore rumpled corduroy and flannel, and walked with the unsteady swagger of a sailor just ashore. he poured a salwart drink, chewed on small black cigars and spat in the fire. benton was once described as the \"churlish dean of regionalist art.\" if you listened to a variety of art authorities, you would find them equally divided between harry truman's assessment of benton as \"the best damned painter in america\" and hilton kramer who proclaimed benton \"a failed artist.\" the east coast art establishment tended to regard benton as memorable for one reason only: he was the teacher of jackson pollock. benton was married in 1922 to rita, a gregarious italian lady, and they had a daughter and a son. at the height of his fame in the 1940s, benton bungled the buy-out he was offered by walt disney and went his own way, completing his last mural in 1975 in acrylics the year of his death. he died in 1975. sources: la times, book review section of sunday, november 26,

icart fought in world war i. he relied on his art to stem his anguish, sketching on every available surface. it was not until his move to paris in 1907 that icart would concentrate on painting, drawing and the production of countless beautiful etchings, which have served (more than the other mediums) to indelibly preserve his name in twentieth century art history. when he returned from the front he made prints from those drawings. the prints, most of which were aquatints* and drypoints*, showed great skill. because they were much in demand, icart frequently made two editions (one european, the other american) to satisfy his public. these prints are considered rare today, and when they are in mint condition they fetch high prices at auction. art deco*, a term coined at the 1925

fran?ois boucher and jean honor? fragonard. in icart's drawings, one sees the impressionists degas and monet and, in his rare watercolors, the symbolists* odilon redon and gustave moreau. in fact, icart lived outside the fashionable artistic movements of the time and was not completely sympathetic to contemporary art. nonetheless, his parisian scenes are a documentation of the life he saw

the fashion house paquin. she would eventually become his wife and a source of artistic inspiration for the rest of his life. icart's portrayal of women is usually sensuous, often erotic, yet always

severini (italian, 1883 - 1966) abstract color lithograph pencil signed lower right, edition 46/50. biography from the archives of askart: gino severini was born in cortona, italy on 7 april 1883. in 1899 the italian painter, graphic artist and sculptor went to rome in 1899 to attend evening classes at the villa medici. after a decisive encounter with giacomo balla and umberto boccioni, he began working as an artist in 1901. balla introduced him to the divisionistic colour technique of the neo-impressionists*. gino severini moved to paris in 1906 where he studied the impressionists*, was fascinated with seurat's paintings and met signac. beside modigliani, picasso, braque and gris he further encountered various well-known poets and thinkers of his time. marinetti and boccioni invited him to join the futurist* movement. on 11 february 1910 severini signed the 'manifesto of futurist painting' and thus became a co-founder of this style. in contrast to his artist colleagues, severini was barely interested in the dynamic of machines, but in the depiction of human bodies in motion. his cabaret scenes and depictions of dancers were made during his period. works such as blue dancer (1912) show the typical futurist principles of faceting and simultaneous effects. severini exhibited works in 1912 at the futurist exhibitions in paris, london and berlin and developed relationships between italy and france. the artist's work became cubist* after 1915. from now on the artist increasingly focused on the harmony of geometric constructions such as the golden section. his favourite subjects were the still lifes with musical instruments and scenes from the commedia dell' arte. between 1924 and 1935 severini was commissioned with numerous murals and mosaics. he led an exciting life between rome and paris and published theoretical texts and books on art. severini was awarded the grand prize of the venice biennale* in 1950. the divisionist concept of the picture, together with a cubist-futurist style, which was adopted by balla, is typical of severini's entire oeuvre*. he analyzed light, movement and events, which happened after one another but are linked by memory. gino severini died in paris on 26 february 1966. important works by the artist are today exhibited in milan (collection gianni mattioli) and rotterdam (museum boymans-van-beuningen). source: art

crotti french (1878 - 1958) geometric abstract, 1920 gouache on rice paper signed and dated lower right. biography from papillon gallery: jean crotti's spiritual beginnings deeply affected his development as an artist. born in 1878 in bulle, near fribourg in the western, french-speaking section of switzerland, his early arts education was in germany and france. crotti struggled with questions of a religious and spiritual nature while at the school of decorative arts in munich and the acad?mie julian in paris. as an artist, he wrote, \"seems to be an instrument of god charged with transmitting messages to men....art must be therefore a kind of magic, bringing signs and messages to man...\" he left school in 1902 in order to detach himself and become independent as an artist. his earliest paintings (1900-1908) are quite domestic scenes reminiscent of bonnard and vuillard. his work begins to show the influence of orphism and cubism in 1911. to escape from wartime paris, crotti and his wife yvonne moved to new york city. an article in the new york tribune (oct. 24, 1915), \"french artists spur on american art, \" interviewed a number of artists including marcel duchamp, francis picabia, albert and juliette gleizes, and jean crotti, all refugees from the war who looked to america as a place where they could live and develop their art. in new york, crotti established close friendships with marcel duchamp and francis picabia. he shared a studio with duchamp. in 1915 there was a radical change in his work, no doubt the effect of his close working relationship with these artists. he called this moment his, \"second birth by auto-procreation and self-delivery without umbilical cord.\" the shift in crotti's style was represented in the 1916 group exhibition (with duchamp, gleizes, and metzinger) at the montross gallery. crotti exhibited orphist-like paintings, several of which had religious titles. also included was his portrait of marcel duchamp and his much discussed les forces m?caniques de l'amour mouvement using found objects. the latter is considered one of the earliest examples of dada's pioneers, was making art out of inconsequential materials. the first contact between the artists in zurich and those in new york was a letter sent in september 1916, announcing the activities in zurich at the cabaret voltaire. crotti returned to paris in the fall of 1916 leaving his wife yvonne in new york. by 1917, his marriage had dissolved, and two years later in paris he married suzanne duchamp. her brother, marcel duchamp, who was in buenos aires at that time, sent instructions for a \"ready-made\" wedding gift. the artists associated with the dada movement were not active in paris during the war. the french avant-garde kept abreast of dada activities in zurich due to the efforts of tristan tzara, who communicated by exchanging letters, poems, and magazineswith guillaume appolinaire, max jacob, andr? breton, and other french writers, critics and artists. the first introduction of dada to the parisian public was at the salon des ind?pendants in 1921. crotti exhibited works associated with dada together with a work entitled, explacatif bearing the word \"tabu.\" i n february 1921, crotti tells of a mystical experience, which was partially responsible for his latest transformation in his work. the new direction which he called \"tabu, \" was presented in religious terms, its key concepts being mystery and infinity...\"to express the mystery; that which cannot be seen; that which cannot be touched.\" a fine example of this tabu period, mysteere acat?ne, was shown at the los angeles county museum of art in 1986, at the much acclaimed exhibition, \"the spiritual in art: abstract painting 1890-1985.\" crotti's attentive aux voix int?rieures is not without this influence. the title (\"listening to interior voices\") as well as the composition have spiritual overtones relating it to the essence of tabu. intersecting angular planes are directed to the heart and at once extend upward connecting the subject (probably suzanne duchamp) with the infinite. crotti's works were exhibited at the salon d'automne and the salon des ind?pendants from 1907-1923. he was also included in the \"exposition international\" at l'art d'aujourd'hui, paris 1925, and the \"international exhibiton of modern art\" at the brooklyn museum, organized by the soci?te anonyme (1926-1927). a number of his solo exhibitions since the 1920's include: galerie de france, paris, 1942; museo caccia, lugano, 1955; cordier and ekstrom gallery, new york, 1970; kunstmuseum winterthur, 1972; gimpel fils gallery, london 1974 and hanover, 1974. 9 1/2\"h x 7 1/2\"w(sight), 17\"h x 14\"w(frame) \n

by 1913, lazzell had returned to west virginia and opened a school. in 1915 she attended the cape cod school of art in provincetown, massachusetts, which had become a meeting place for artists returning from europe to escape the chaos of world war i. in 1916, lazzell and several other artists exhibited their work in color woodblock at the studio of e. ambrose webster. with the success of this show, the provincetown printers group became the first color-woodblock society to be established. during a trip to europe in 1923, lazzell studied cubism with fernand leger and also received instruction from andre lhote and albert gleizes. she returned to america in 1924, and from 1937 to 1938 studied with the abstract artist hans hofmann. blanche lazzell is known primarily for her involvement with the provincetown art world where she first sojourned in the summer of 1915. she was a painter, printmaker, and rug maker. after a brief period when she was influenced by impressionism, lazzell developed a decorative, geometric and cubist style, perfectly suited to flowers and the houses, wharves and rooftops of provincetown. artists flocked to provincetown during wwi, when the doors to paris were closed, and lazzell described the feel of the town in those times: \"creative energy was the air we breathed. it was in this quaint setting that the provincetown print came into being.\" and it was in the creation of the provincetown print that blanche lazzell was to excel. she once explained: \"originality, simplicity, freedom of expression, and above all sincerity, with a clean cut block, are characteristics of a good wood block print.\" source: outer cape art auctions, www.outercapeartauctions 21 3/4\"h x 17 3/4\"w(sight), 33\"h x 27\"w(frame) \n

a colorist focused on serene mood, harmony, and rounded shapes, milton avery was primarily a self-taught painter whose work combining abstraction and realism suggests dialogue between line, shape, muted color, and subdued emotions. most of his subjects were either marine scenes or figure studies. although never associated with a particular movement, avery was a key modernist who influenced succeeding generations of artists including color field painters mark rothko and adolph gottlieb. born in altmar, new york, avery studied art in hartford at the connecticut league of art students before settling in new york city in 1925. 1944 was a watershed year for avery, largely because of a new gallery association with paul rosenberg in new york. rosenberg had fled to new york from europe with both a strong interest and inventory of avant-garde paintings, which he wanted to enhance. in addition to this collection, he agreed to buy twenty-five of avery's paintings twice a year, which meant that avery did not have to worry about money and could focus on being creative. with this new freedom, he became much more prolific, and his style changed from a brushy, painterly application and graphic detailing to denser, more even areas of flattened color within delineated forms. as his career continued, he became more and more focused on concentrated color within simple, broadly contoured shapes. he perfected the technique of applying thin washes of paint to create veiled fields of color. in january, 1949, he had an heart attack that left him physically weak for the remainder of his life, and he died in 1965, having suffered a second heart attack three years earlier. sources include: matthew baigell, dictionary of american art michael david zellman, 300 years of american

d. kopman russian american (1887-1965) female portrait oil on canvas signed lower left and verso. biography from the archives of askart: vitebsk, the birth place of benjamin kopman, was one of the largest jewish communities in europe in 1900 with a jewish population of 34,420. it was a center of religious judaism with a strong habad presence, but also had a very active zionist community. unlike many russian communities, vitebsk did not experience pogroms around the turn of the 20th century. thus, when 16 year old benjamin kopman and his family emigrated to the united states in 1903, it was likely for economic gain rather than religious freedom. in new york kopman was tutored by abel pan, who had studied at the yehdua penn's vitebsk academy. in 1905 kopman enrolled at the national academy of art where he remained for 6 semesters. in 1913 kopman became a us citizen and he lived on east 14th street in manhattan during and after wwi. his first prestigious exhibition was at the annual exhibition of the pennsylvania academy of fine arts in 1914. \"kopman participated in exhibitions sponsored by the people's art guild from 1915 to 1917 held at settlement houses and neighborhood centers in manhattan and the bronx? he also exhibited with jennings tofel and claude buck as part of the introspective group of painters? in 1925 kopman and tofel founded the jewish art center which held exhibitions for two seasons in the east village.\"[1] kopman worked for the wpa as an artist during the depression. he enjoyed solo exhibitions at the new art circle in 1937, aca galleries in 1945, phillips memorial gallery in washington d.c. in the same year, and several others venues in future years. kopman most likely had a jewish education in vitebsk, as \"his intense mysticism and emotionality have their source in the kabbalah.\"[1] in his use of heavy black outlines and often primitive style kopman suggest the influence of henri rousseau and georges roualt. critic, henry mcbride, commented in a review of kopman's work s at the carnegie institute, \"i'd rather have mr. kopman's picture any day than the work by roualt in the neighboring french room.\"[7] a recurrent theme in exhibitions and from kopman himself is the contradiction between kopman's outstanding skills and relatively limited recognition. \"but in the annals of painting, the case of benjamin kopman is probably unique. three times in his long career - in the thirties - in the forties and in the fifties - he has been hailed by discriminating critics as a painter of major dimensions? why, then, did he not achieve the popularity he deserves?\"[7] selden rodman concludes that kopman was a retiring individual who did not promote himself. even in 1941 this same characterization was apt. \"shy and retiring by nature he shuns the outer world, spending sixteen to twenty hours of the day painting or writing verse [in yiddish]? his long years of toil have yielded little more than the barest necessities.\"[8] in 1958 kopman himself wrote, in an apparent defense against abstract expressionism, \"because we live in an age of speed, some people who never cared for art turned away from my work using the excuse that it has not moved fast enough. they do not realize that the very speed they so admire will fly by them, and they will remain wondering what has happened.\"[9] kopman married his wife, feiga, around 1927. she was the sister of fellow artist and introspective member, claude buck. in 1930 they were living at 207 east 19th street in manhattan with no children. both benjamin and feiga are described as \"artists\" in census data. feiga died in 1964. kopman's work is held in the collections of the whitney museum of american art, museum of

jonson american (1891 - 1982) untitled no. 11, 1948 watercolor on paper signed and dated lower right. provenance: addison rowe gallery, santa fe, nm; boise art association collection biography from addison rowe fine art: raymond jonson was one of the foremost 20th century nonobjective painters in america. although his celebrity was not that of other painters who traveled to new mexico, such as georgia o?keeffe or marsden hartley, his contributions to art were on par with the most celebrated modern artists. he founded many artist groups in both chicago and new mexico, including the transcendental painting group and cor ardens. greatly influenced by wassily kandinsky and the bauhaus artists, he advanced new technologies in american art (e.g. the use of the airbrush and polymer paints), and devoted himself to exploring the spiritual in art. the jonson gallery, founded in the 1950, was a permanent exhibition space dedicated to the progression and exhibition of spiritual-nonobjective art. it was not solely raymond jonson?s art which made him noteworthy, but his contributions to art as an innovator, teacher, curator, and mentor. raymond jonson was born carl raymond johnson on july 18th, 1891 in chariton iowa. both his parents were swedish immigrants, and his father, gustav, was a reverend in the baptist church. gustav?s duties to the church required the family to relocate often (raymond was the eldest of six). raymond grew up all over the american west and was intimately familiar with the landscape. raymond?s mother taught him to read and write; he did not attend school until 1899 when his family lived in colorado springs, colorado. in 1902, his family settled permanently in portland, oregon (hartel 20). johnson showed an interest in the arts from an early age. he was the first student to register for classes at the portland art association school of art when it opened in 1909. in 1910, at the age of nineteen, jonson moved to chicago to continue his art training at the chicago academy of fine arts. during the two years he attended, he received formal art training in composition, color theory, anatomy, drawing from a nude model, oil painting, and commercial design and illustration (hartel 29). in 1911, jonson met b.j.o. nordfeldt who was a teacher at the academy. nordfeldt was a mentor and friend to jonson for the rest of his life and was responsible for converting jonson to modernist modes of visual expression (hartel 38; garman 14). 1913 was a seminal year for jonson. he viewed the armory show the day it opened in chicago?it left him feeling that, ?artists could now make paintings that freely express their temperament, ideas, and views of the world, and their experiences of the physical reality around them? (hartel 48). in the same year, he had his first public art exhibition at third annual exhibit of swedish-american artists at the swedish club in chicago. there he met swedish-american painter birger sandz?n, who became a lifelong friend and mentor (hartel 78, 91). also in 1913, jonson began working at the chicago little theatre. hired upon the recommendation of nordfeldt, his duties included stage-designer, stage-manager, stage-carpenter, scene-painter, sceneshifter, electrician, and, on occasion, actor (garman 26). he worked at the theatre until it closed in 1917. in 1916, jonson met vera white, an amateur musician who worked for the chicago little theatre as a secretary. the two married on december 25, 1916 (hartel 30). in 1920, jonson (spelled johnson at the time) looked through a chicago phonebook and realized his exact name was only one of many. as an emerging artist, he wanted a way to distinguish himself, yet not dissolve ties to his family and past (ware interview). when his father immigrated to the united states, he changed his surname from the swedish jonsson to the americanized johnson. raymond settled on jonson [pronounced joan-sen] to blend his need for individuality with his past (hartel 20). jonson received a copy of kandinsky?s the art of spiritual harmony in august of 1921. he first viewed works by kandinsky in 1913 at the armory show, and the book confirmed many thoughts that he had developed independently. foremost was jonson?s fundamental belief that art was a spiritual endeavor and that paintings should be an expression of the spirit. additionally, jonson thought of himself as akin to a musician?his wife, brother, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law were all musicians. while working at the chicago little theatre, he manipulated the light for plays as a composer would musical notes (ware 33). he transferred this concept into his paintings?color wasn?t a stagnant and transparent detail, but a physical object with its own weight and presence: ?some of us want to do the same thing with color, line, and shape that a musician can do with sound. we want to compose independent of imitation and to express in plastic form the inner significance of vibrations and a certain sense of cosmic rightness through the functioning of intellect and the subconscious? (garman 105). the influence of kandinsky is evident through the rest of jonson?s career. at the encouragement of berger sandz?n, jonson and vera spent the summer of 1922 in new mexico. although this was not his first visit to the state, it was far more influential than his first?inspiring him to change the direction of his life and art. it was during this trip that he decided to relocate to new mexico. he painted only sporadically over the next two years, focusing his energy on making enough money to pay his debts in chicago and move to santa fe. the aesthetic beauty of the southwest did not solely inspire his decision to relocate; it was the need to live inexpensively and to escape the noise, dirt, and hectic pace of the modern american city, which was more often than not unappealing to jonson (hartel 86). upon arriving in santa fe in 1924, jonson and vera were able to purchase two and a quarter acres of land off of the old santa fe trail for $460 (hartel 96). however, the move did little to alleviate jonson?s financial problems?he earned just enough to survive by teaching art and selling art supplies from his garage. in 1927, jonson formed the loose-knit group of artists named ?six men.? this consisted of jonson, nordfeldt, andrew dasburg, jozef bakos, willard nash, and john e. thompson. they exhibited together in seattle, tucson, and san francisco. in 1929, jonson abruptly changed his subject matter, almost entirely giving up landscape painting, which was his primary expression up to this point. instead, he adopted highly abstract images of plant forms, numerals, alphabet letters, colors, and modern architecture (hartel 161). this was a major step toward depicting the spiritual world and transcending the physical. in early 1934, jonson began teaching at the university of new mexico. he took over the teaching assignments of kenneth adams, who moved to europe for a year. although at first he only taught once a week, this position would be the keystone that changed jonson?s life (hartel 96 -100). jonson?s work went through another profound change in the late 1930s. this was due to two important factors. the first was his meeting lazlo moholy-nagy in chicago in late 1937 and the second was the founding of the transcendental painting group in 1938. jonson wrote little about nagy, however, meeting one of the members of the original bauhaus and a peer of kandinsky was undoubtedly deeply inspiring. one aspect of this influence is evidenced in jonson?s method of naming his work. from this point on, he titled all his works according to medium, number, and year (e.g. watercolor no. 1, 1940). moholy also avoided using descriptive titles and preferred to name his work construction or composition with an associated number. the bauhaus artists also employed the airbrush and, in 1938, jonson began using it regularly. the airbrush was a stylistic and expressive epiphany for jonson. it allowed him to apply paint quickly and efficiently while also focusing solely on form and color without the physical intervention of a brush. it was a merger of medium and message (hartel 262, 268, 272-273, 286). in 1938, raymond jonson and emil bisttram founded of the transcendental painting group (tpg). although small and short lived, the tpg reflected a growing desire in artists to express one?s inner thoughts, emotions, and spirituality in an abstract manner. it was analogous to the american abstract artists (aaa) that began in new york in 1936. it is important to note that throughout the great depression and world war ii, people viewed abstract art as a luxury. the overall trend in art was toward regionalism and social realism. for any group of artists to disregard this trend in favor of abstraction was to attract public derision. the tpg was a validating force in jonson?s new artistic developments?he was not the only artist at the time focused on abstraction and spiritually. the tpg consisted of: raymond jonson, emil bisttram, agnes pelton, lawren harris, florence miller pierce, horace towner pierce, william lumpkins, robert gribbroek, stuart walker, and later ed garman (dane rudhyar was an affiliated member). they sought to disassociate themselves from the transcendentalists of the transcendental movement in american literature. however, they could think of no better word to describe their goals?they transcended the politics of art and society, the petty squabbles of mankind, and created art purely for the purpose of making the world a more beautiful and harmonious place in which to live. in this endeavor, they believed that abstract art could more clearly express sensations of beauty and harmony than artwork that referenced society or nature (ware interview). at the beginning of world war ii, many of the members of the group were drafted and thus began the slow decline of the tpg. by 1945, only a few members were still paying their dues and the tpg officially disbanded, although the group had functionally ceased to exist in 1942 (hartel 251, 252, 259, 263). it was during this time that jonson painted his first truly nonobjective paintings. his works from 1929-1937 are categorized as abstract because they begin with a symbol or form found in everyday life and abstract it into its primary shape (e.g. painting a mountain as a triangle or the sun as a circle). in fact, letters and numbers are the most basic form of abstraction that exist in human thought. the number ?2? does not have any visual reference for the concept of two. it is a symbol that refers to the idea of two things. the same is true in the english language. the word ?tree? does not visually reference a tree; it is a collection of symbols that english speakers acknowledge refers to the concept of a tree. truly nonobjective painting does not begin with any acknowledged symbol or reference in reality; it strives to capture pure form and color totally separate from physical reality: ?cannot a totally nonrepresentational art be a stronger affair, a richer organization, than the assemblage of a great deal of material which is related to nature rather than to painting?? (garman 87). many artists never make this transition; it took jonson decades to make this conceptual leap. knowing that there was a general confusion between the terms abstract and nonobjective, jonson adopted the term absolute (also used by kandinsky and hilla rebay) to describe these pieces. most critics believe that his greatest achievement in absolute art was between 1938 and 1949; however, he created many of his most profound works after 1960 (hartel 304). the defining event that separates jonson?s absolute period from his late period is the founding of the jonson gallery in 1950. jonson maintained his position at the university of new mexico from 1934 to 1954, retiring as a full professor with a pension and professional honors. this connection with the university is in large part what enabled his dedication to creative explorations in painting rather than the commercial aspect of selling work. in 1948, he proposed the idea of founding the jonson gallery on the unm campus to the board of regents. that year the project was approved and they began planning. he and john gaw meem designed it to serve as a living space, studio, and exhibition space for his work and other artists who shared his dedication to spiritual nonobjective art. the jonson gallery opened in 1950; this enabled jonson to have an extremely productive late career (hartel 372-373). his late works differ from his absolute period in a few fundamental aspects. in the mid-1950s, he began working on a much larger scale. rather than painting on an easel as he had previously, he placed his canvas or masonite on the floor. this allowed him to work from every angle and balance his pieces in new ways. in 1957, he adopted acrylic paint. this medium became a perfect fusion of his airbrushed watercolor paintings and his brushed oils. oil paint does not work in most airbrushes due to its high viscosity; watercolor is suitable for airbrushing but lacks the depth of color and opacity achievable with oil?acrylic paints dry quicker than oil, work in an airbrush, and have a range and depth of color unattainable in watercolor. by 1961, he gave up on all other media and used acrylic paints exclusively?these works are referred to as polymers. jonson?s works from the 1950s stand as a transition period during which he relearned to paint using this new material and explored new artistic directions. the early 1960s show a rejuvenated expression and convey his spiritual vision in new and exciting ways (hartel 370, 379). during this late phase he worked extensively to support younger-emerging artists. among these were richard diebenkorn, agnes martin, and the members of the taos moderns group. when richard diebenkorn attended unm for his master?s in art, he had already taught at the california school of fine art and shown his work in several exhibitions. at unm he chose to keep to himself and didn?t always submit to the will of his instructors. when the time came for him to graduate, his instructors wanted to fail him. jonson, recognizing his talent as an artist, stepped in and threatened to bring the issue to the board of regents if his instructors failed him. because of this intervention, diebenkorn graduated from unm in 1952 (ware interview). in the 1960s, jonson organized a traveling exhibition of the artists that he felt were the center of the taos painters. they were dubbed ?group 7? and they consisted of louis catusco, rini templeton, louis ribak, beatrice mandelman, wesley rusnell, oli sihvonen, and john de puy. in a letter to the author, john de puy recalled jonson: raymond jonson was both a mentor and teacher. his concept of the spiritual in art has been a lifelong search?that i hope is reflected in my art. he helped organize?together with dorothy morang (senior curator of the state museum of art in santa fe) the first major exhibit of the taos modernists in the early ?60s. he also inspired the founding of ?group 7? a group of modernists that he felt were the nucleus of the taos group. it showed first at his gallery?then traveled nationally. he was almost a father figure to me ? with advice ? and material help during hard times (de puy). jonson?s wife vera passed away in 1965 after several years of declining health. since they had no children, jonson dedicated the last seventeen years of his life to painting and running the jonson gallery. in 1978, jonson abruptly quit painting. the primary reason for this decision was his belief that an artist should retire at the apex of his creative work. in his catalog of works, he listed his final painting, polymer no. 19, 1978, as swan song. jonson spent the last four years of his life maintaining the jonson gallery and passed away in 1982 (hartel 404). jonson?s career was not that of a celebrity artist, but a man dedicated to a singular vision which he pursued indefatigably, often to the detriment of his financial success. he could have painted more landscapes or continued as a stage designer, but he believed that his purpose in life was to paint spiritual-nonobjective art. in this, he faced many obstacles, but eventually he created an environment for this art to prosper beyond his own artistic vision. jonson was a great artist, but it was his efforts as an innovator, teacher, curator, and mentor that truly defined him.

bisttram hungarian american (1895 - 1976) geometric abstract, 1943 encaustic on paper signed and dated lower right. biography from mark sublette medicine man gallery: emil bisttram was born in hungary, near the romanian border, in 1895. when he was 11 years old, his family immigrated to new york city. emil grew up in the tenement buildings that had become the destination for so many eastern european immigrant families. he was a talented artist, and after a few years began his schooling at the national academy of art and design, then cooper union, parsons, and the art student's league. most of his studies were completed through night courses, as he was working as a commercial artist to support himself. his eagerness to study would translate to a love of and great skill for teaching. he began teaching soon after completing school, first at the new york school of fine and applied arts, and then at the master institute of the roerich museum. bisttram first visited taos during the summer of 1930. he went initially to escape the hardship of life in new york following the stock market crash. his first visit, however, was nearly his last. while enthralled by the beauty of new mexico, bisttram was endlessly frustrated by his first attempts at painting there: \"whenever i tried to paint what was before me i was frustrated by the grandeur of the scenery and the limitless space. above all a strange, almost mystic quality of light.\" perhaps frustrated by what may be perceived as his own limitations as an artist, bisttram returned to new york. if indeed he was frustrated at that time, it couldn't have lasted long, as the very next year he won a guggenheim fellowship to study mural painting. the fellowship enabled bisttram to travel to mexico where he studied mural painting with the world famous muralist diego rivera. numerous mural commissions were to follow throughout his career, including murals for the department of justice in washington d.c., the taos county courthouse, new mexico, and the federal courthouse in roswell, new mexico. after his time with rivera was through, bisttram returned immediately to taos, and that same year founded the taos school of art, of which he would remain the director for the rest of his life. bisttram came to be much admired as a teacher. he was an extremely articulate individual, and was as skilled at explaining concepts of composition, drawing and painting as he was at applying those concepts to his own paintings. the school was very well attended, particularly during the summer months. further demonstrating his skills as an administrator, the following year bisttram started the first commercial art gallery in taos, the heptagon gallery. bisttram first came to taos as a representational painter. his canvases show stylized renderings of native american dancers, portraits of natives and mexicans, as well as depictions of local architecture. however, he began to experiment with non-objective (ie. abstract) forms in his paintings. he became heavily influence by the work and philosophy of the painter wassily kandinsky. indeed, in many of bisttrams canvases, the influence of the russian is evident in the bright colors, and abstract forms that he began to employ. in 1938 bisttram, along with raymond johnson and several other painters, founded the transcendental painting group in santa fe, new mexico. the aim of the group was to work to bring painting beyond the appearance of the physical world. work of this type had begun in europe at least two decades previously, but this was something new to america. despite the stated goal, bisttram often maintained elements that were at least semi-representational in his canvases. bisttram continued to be extremely active in the artistic growth of new mexico for the rest of his life. in 1952 he co-founded the taos art association, and in '59 won the grand prize for painting at the new mexico state fair. also in 1959, a retrospective of his work was held at the harwood art museum in taos. as a final honor, and tribute to one who done so much for the artistic community and the identity of new mexico as a whole, in 1975 april 7th was declared \"emil bisttram day, \" a new mexico state holiday. the next year, 1976, emil bisttram died at the age of 81. bibliography 1. bickerstaff, laura, pioneer artists of taos,

established the taos school of art. his work at the time remained realistic. for his 1932 portrait \"indian girl with basket, \" he constructed elements of the composition in wood and clay for more perfect details. in the mid-1930's, bisttram painted under the wpa. by 1938 he was a founder of the transcendental movement in new mexico as he turned toward non-objectivity, where paintings were composed of universal, rather than physical, forms. bisttram did not limit himself to a non-objective style, however. he also painted realistic subjects. now known as a modern taos painter, muralist

depression era in america, moses soyer was born in czarist russia in 1899, and was one of three artistic brothers, the others being raphael and isaac. raphael soyer was moses' identical twin. later in his career, moses soyer turned to the depiction of female figures, especially ballet dancers. the soyer brothers were raised in an intellectual atmosphere created by their father, a hebrew scholar. in 1912, the soyers emigrated to the united states and eventually settled in new york city. moses soyer's artistic studies began in 1916, and included classes in new york at cooper union, the national academy of design, the educational alliance, and the modern school, where he was influenced by robert henri and george bellows. after traveling to europe on a fellowship, soyer taught at several schools until the depression made such teaching positions scarce. the depression, in fact, set the mood for most of soyer's art expression. the works project administration provided him with work as well as the fellowship of other artists, but the era itself provided the social sentiments which permeate most of soyer's work. using some of the techniques of his favorite artists, such as van rijn rembrandt and gustave courbet, he portrayed his subjects in the perseverance of hard work or in the uncertainty of unemployment. as an artist, soyer was particularly sensitive to the lack of work during the depression and to the fact the works projects administration provided employment for many artists who would have remained unemployed. he was opposed to landscape painting, and pursued the opportunity to use art for the purpose of making realistic social statements about his time. together, moses and his twin worked on some large projects, such as a mural commissioned by the works projects administration for the kingsessing station post office in philadelphia. after the depression, soyer tended towards ballet subjects, reminiscent of degas, yet his work retained his own personal style of conveying sentimental moods. his paintings remained popular throughout his life. soyer died in 1974. source: web-site of comenos fine art10 1/4\"h x 8 1/4\"w (board), 17 1/4\"h x 15

because then as now discrimination beset women in the arts. by the time war broke out irene had divorced pereira and married george wellington brown, a marine engineer from a prominent boston family. brown was an ingenious experimenter with materials, and he encouraged his petite new wife in their mutual passion for experimentation. pereira in the 1930s was drawn to ships, not only because of george brown, but because of their intricate machinery, their functional beauty. the inside-out infrastructure of the pompidou museum in paris amused pereira, although she thought it art-historically tardy. pereira visited morocco briefly in the mid-1930s. the desert changed her life, filling her mind with pure light and purer forms, and had a crucial impact on her work when she returned to the united states to help found the works progress administration design laboratory. the interactions of light and shadow among the dunes, playing in and around the intrinsically cubist architecture of the magreb, instilled in her a lifelong concern with optics, the way the mind perceives light and interacts with paintings. irene rice pereira was a lovely, fragile being. her presence was hushed. she spoke almost in a whisper and listened far more than she spoke. she was a prodigious autodidact and a spellbinding lecturer. the main body of her metaphysical library today resides in the museum for women in the arts in washington, d.c. her papers and the manuscript for her still unpublished book, eastward journey, are available to scholars in the schlesinger library at harvard. pereira won recognition for her abstract geometric work, particularly her jewel-like works on fluted and coruscated layers of glass, throughout the 1940s and early 1950s. in 1953 the whitney museum, then in greenwich village, gave her a retrospective exhibition with loren maciver, and that same year life magazine published a centerfold photo examination of her work. by the late 1950s abstract expressionism had swept manhattan, flattening such nascent movements as geometric abstraction. such artists as stuart davis, stanton macdonald wright, george l.k. morris, george ault, jan matulka, richard leahy, philip guston and many others were eclipsed. pereira believed that a european angst, brought to our shores in the wake of the holocaust, had introduced a cynicism and a profoundly anti-female sensibility that boded ill for art in america. rightly she pointed out that even when the works of women were acquired by museums they were rarely shown, a disgrace that persists to this day. the women who did achieve success, she said, were often collaborators with more famous male artists and tastemakers. pereira died in 1971 in marbella, spain, ill and broken-hearted. she had been evicted from the fifteenth street studio in chelsea where she had painted for more than thirty years. suffering from severe emphysema, she could barely negotiate a few stairs. but by the 1980s a new generation of women scholars and curators had begun to resurrect her stature. a considerable following has formed to honor a pioneer artist who cared about other artists and willingly paid the price to denounce what others feared in silence. indeed when pereira sold a painting she had two immediate impulses: buy a new hat, and give the money to an artist friend in trouble. she loved hats but loved to help fellow artists even more. 21\"h x 14\"w \n dimensions: 21 x 14 in"},"estimateMax":5000,"lotNumber":"147","title":{"en":"irene rice pereira, american (1902 - 1971), the lapis, 1957, 5

stone american (1902-1984) untitled, 1939 gouache and watercolor on paper, double sided signed and dated lower right on one side. exhibited: snyder fine art, new york, ny. biography from michael rosenfeld gallery: louis king stone was born in findlay, ohio in 1902 and received formal art training at the art academy of cincinnati (1919-20), the pennsylvania academy of fine arts summer sessions (1926), and the art students league in new york city (1926-27) with boardman robinson and thomas hart benton. while painting in gloucester, massachusetts during the summer of 1927, stone met artist carolyn hoag, whom he married later that fall. following their marriage, the stones lived in europe for five years, spending most of their time in southern france. while abroad, stone studied with hans hofmann in st. tropez and later, at the hofmann school of fine arts in munich, the academie colorossi in paris, and with andr? l'hote at the artist's summer school in mirmande, france. he also lived and painted in paul c?zanne's former home/studio in aix-en-provence. stone's studies in europe laid the foundation for his early non-objective work. stone returned to the united states in 1933 and lived for a brief period in woodstock, new york before traveling to florida where stone and painter james s. morris co-founded the stone-morris school of fine arts in jacksonville. in 1935, he settled in lambertville, new jersey, a town near new hope, pennsylvania that was home to an active artistic and intellectual community. stone reunites with close friend charles evans, and becomes a leading member of the recently formed independents, a modernist artist's collective founded by charles f. ramsey. like other associations of american artists during this period (i.e. the american abstract artists and the transcendental painting group), the independents were struggling to gain recognition in a culture that was not particularly receptive to abstract art. stone exhibited regularly with the independents and worked to establish the cooperative painting project. inspired by the performances of improvisational jazz musicians, the cooperative painting project held visual \"jam sessions, \" where the three artists would work together on a single painting, signing their finished artwork with the combined name \"ramstonev.\" although stone frequently collaborated and exchanged ideas with other members of the independents (including b.j.o. nordfeldt, john nevin, lloyd \"bill\" ney, and elsie driggs), his work from the mid-1930s and 1940s retains a distinctive style that demonstrates a mastery of the modernist lessons he learned in europe, while asserting an innovative use of flat color to suggest three dimensional space. stone once remarked that he wanted \"to keep his colors alive, \" and consequently, his work contains visually complex color harmonies that demonstrate his willingness to break the stylistic conventions of the school of paris in favor of a more idiosyncratic palette. in addition to his association with the independents, stone exhibited in the new york worlds fair in new york city (1939), as well as in regional museums and galleries throughout new jersey, pennsylvania and new york. he worked for the wpa easel project (from approximately 1935-1938), painting canvases for murals in various public buildings throughout the united states. stone continued to paint and travel extensively with his family throughout north america until his death in 1984 at the age of 82 at his home near lambertville, nj. 5 1/4\"h x 6 3/4\"w(sight),

kelpe german american (1902 - 1985) geometric abstract, 1936 mixed media on board signed and dated lower right. provenance:james cox gallery, woodstock, new york; biography from the archives of askart: a german artist whose signature painting is abstraction based on constructivism, cubism and geometric abstraction, paul kelpe was born in minden, germany. art scholar, joan marter, has stated that constructions by kelpe in the late 1920s \"were the earliest examples of such work in the united states\" . . .(kennedy 127). characteristic of constructivism, his pieces were combinations of two and three-dimensional artwork that incorporated found objects. kelpe studied art in hanover, germany and was introduced there to the work of modernist artists such as wassily kandinsky, el lissitsky, laszlo moholy-nagy, naum gabo and kurt schwitters, a pioneering constructivist. schwitters was an especially influential artist on kelpe, but kelpe did not like the casual, messy paint application methods of schwitters and adopted a style of carefully applied paint devoid of visible brush strokes within geometric forms kelpe immigrated to the united states in 1925 and spent several years in new jersey and new york city and in the early 1930s, settled in chicago where from 1930 to 1939, he was a wpa (works progress administration) muralist. then he returned to new york city in the 1940s and 1950s, and from 1969 to 1985, he was in austin, texas where he taught at east texas teachers college. working in chicago, he was puzzling to many persons because of his total dedication to abstraction in an artistic climate still focused on realism. j.z. jacobson wrote a compendium of modern art in chicago that was published in 1932, and kelpe was the only artist in the book represented by abstract art. in 1931, he had an attention-getting exhibition of many of his constructions at chicago's little gallery. of this event, kelpe wrote that this \"was the first time than any one-man shows of abstract art took place in chicago.\" (kennedy 127) however, kelpe did do some realist work when he was a wpa muralist. his mural for the southern illinois university library followed the prevailing american scene style. one of his murals, typical of many new deal murals, described the history of industry, agriculture and commerce in southern illinois. a description of that mural was: \"the mural looks back to a supposedly simpler time when pioneers triumphed over adversity and built the nation through hard work, community, and strength of character. the results of all this industry--the growing fields, the commerce on the river, the school, even the children--are offered as proof that progress and community were achieved despite frontier conditions.\" (archives) rebelling against these kinds of stylistic strictures tied to realism, kelpe moved to new york in 1936 to a climate that allowed more stylistic flexibility . he continued as a muralist for three more years, but in abstract styles and became a founder of the american abstract artists, which he served as secretary from 1936 to 1941. this organization was dedicated to modernist art and movements rooted in europe, especially paris, and was a reaction against the prevalent social realism espoused by robert henri and his ash can school of painters. sources include: elizabeth kennedy, \"chicago modern, 1893-1945\"

the american abstract artists to come to artistic maturity in paris. a native of california, in 1924 ferren went to work for a company that produced plaster sculpture. he briefly attended art school in san francisco. later he served as an apprentice to a stonecutter. by 1929, ferren had saved enough money to go to europe, stopping first in new york where he saw the gallatin collection. he went to france and to italy. in saint-tropez, he met hans hofmann, vaclav vytlacil, and other hofmann students. when ferren stopped to visit them in munich, he saw a matisse exhibition, an experience that was instrumental in shifting his work from sculpture to painting. in europe, ferren did not pursue formal art studies, although he sat in on classes at the sorbonne and attended informal drawing sessions at the academie ranson and the academie de la grande chaumiere. instead, ferren said, he \"literally learned art around the cafe tables in paris, knowing other artists and talking.\" after this initial year in europe, ferren returned to california. by 1931 he was again in paris, where he lived for most of the next seven years. surrounded by the parisian avant-garde, ferren wrestled with his own idiom. his diaries from these years indicate far-ranging explorations from a hofmann-like concern for surface to the spiritual searches of kandinsky and mondrian. although gallatin and morris were the first americans to buy his paintings, ferren associated with members of the abstraction-creation group rather than with the american expatriate community. he married the daughter of a spanish artist, manuel ortiz de zarate. through this union he met the circle of parisian-spanish painters that included picasso, miro , and torres-garcia. with jean helion, ferren wrote manifestoes against surrealism, although he remained friendly with max ernst and andre breton, and illustrated books by surrealist poets. in paris, he met pierre matisse, who in 1936 hosted a show of ferren's work at his new york gallery. following his divorce in 1938, ferren returned to the united states. he attended american abstract artist meetings, but felt little of the frustration that had prompted the organization's formation. after ad reinhardt used ferren's name on a pamphlet passed out on the museum of modern art picket line, ferren broke from the group. during world war ii, ferren served with the office of war information in the north african and european theaters. by this time, ferren had reintroduced the figure into his paintings without giving up abstraction, and following the war he turned to abstract expressionism. in moving from geometric abstraction to the academically based figure and still-life paintings he did after the war, and finally to the freely painted expressionist work of his later years, ferren searched for a way to express moral truth. throughout his life, he viewed painting as a means of seeking the reality behind appearance. his early appreciation of kandinsky and a fascination with zen that dated from his youth helped define the way he thought about painting throughout his life. he called art the \"great common denominator between knowledge and insight, \" and said it should explore the intuitive---the spiritual, mental, social or psychological forces of life. 6 1/4\"h x 9 1/4\"w(sight), 14\"h x 17\"w(frame) \n dimensions: 14 x 17

drawing and water color. his interest in tradition, in form and content, and in modern art led him to a painting style concerned with flat or semi-flat patterns, where bright colors and angular, faceted forms combine to give the full work a sense of motion or action. his lifelong fascination with the golden section, kindled during his studies with e. ambrose webster and intensified during a year abroad, strongly informed his compositions. but his analytical mind, which was so drawn to geometry, chess, and go, also produced lyrical water colors and japanese brush drawings and his expert draftsman's hand was also capable of drawings of gentle humor and wit. born in ochlocknee, georgia, in 1907, stubbs moved to washington, d.c. with his family as a young boy. from 1926 to 1930, he studied at the corcoran school of art in washington, d.c. in 1931 and 1934, he studied in provincetown with e. ambrose webster, one of the country's pioneers in modern art. his major influences were webster, piero della francesca and juan gris. from 1935 to 1953, stubbs taught painting and drawing at the corcoran school; he also taught george washington university art classes from 1941 to 1953, with time out for three years in the navy during world war ii and a year abroad. from 1930 until his death in october 1967, stubbs exhibited frequently in the corcoran biennial, society of washington artists, and artists guild, and in shows of the provincetown art association. he had solo exhibits at the corcoran, the george washington university library, the d.c. library, and prominent commercial galleries. memorial exhibitions of his work have been held at the provincetown art association, hofstra university, the fine arts work center in provincetown, and the cape cod museum of art. stubbs' work is in the permanent collections of the provincetown art association, cape cod museum of art, national portrait gallery, university of maryland, and colquitt county community art center (near his georgia birthplace). he was one of the washington area's leading tournament chess players, found time to illustrate edward lasker's chess secrets with sketches of world-renowned chess masters, and was one of the first in the area to become proficient in the game of go, teaching himself enough japanese in the 1940s to master the only literature then available on the game. a website devoted to stubbs' art (http://kennethstubbsart.com/) displays a selection of 200 paintings and drawings that span his full career and a broad variety of styles from abstract impressionism to classical drawing

opper american (1908-1994) untitled, 1959 oil on board signed lower left. biography from david findlay jr. gallery: john opper described the 1930s as a \"great gestation period\" for his art. \"i thought the thirties was a very vital time for american art . . . with the wpa, you got together whether it was the [artists'] union or the [american artists'] congress or whether it was a bar . . . and you talked about art, and you heard about important artists, and you began to live art.\"[1] but opper also remembered the thirties as a period of breakdown in the vitality of american art; \"we became aware that a great deal was missing.\"[2] academically trained like many of his contemporaries, opper came to new york in 1934, two years after his graduation from case western reserve university in cleveland, ohio. as a youth, he had taken saturday art classes at the cleveland museum of art and later studied at the cleveland school of art and the school of the art institute of chicago. when he arrived in new york he was a well-trained painter, adept at rendering still lifes and particularly landscapes depicting the american scene. a reviewer of his 1937 exhibition at the artists' gallery in new york, for example, wrote about opper's \"colloquial flavor . . . spontaneity and an imaginative use of color which conveys just the feeling\" which the subjects-east river tugboats, old garages, and scenes around manhattan-suggest. [3] by 1937 opper had become familiar with modernism, though he was not yet converted to the cause. indeed, his 1937 show was made up of the still popular regionalist paintings. earlier, in 1935 and 1936, he studied with hans hofmann and began to think in terms of forces and tensions within the picture plane. he met wilfrid zogbaum, giorgio cavallon, byron browne, rosalind bengelsdorf, and george mcneil, with whom he shared a studio. he paid frequent visits to gallatin's gallery of living art. he joined the wpa easel project in 1936 and began to paint in \"a kind of transformed cubist style.\"[4] for opper, though, abstraction conflicted philosophically with a strong commitment to social reform. he belonged to the american artists' congress and, when it was first formed, served as business manager of art front, the artists' union publication. he also exhibited with the american abstract artists, but eventually dropped out of the group. opper said he preferred to combine creative work with social comment and was as yet unwilling to do completely abstract art. during the early 1940s, he noted, he was torn \"between the needs of the society and the needs of war on one hand, and on . . . what i felt were the aesthetic needs of painting.\"[5] only when he resolved to separate these two, did he begin systematically to pursue abstract work. eventually, he came to believe that the only thing important to art \"is that which changes . . . the language and the substance of it.\" when war came, opper worked for three years with a marine architectural firm making drawings for the pipe systems of pt boats. after the war, he taught at the university of wyoming and the university of alabama, and between 1952 and 1957, he was on the faculty at the university of north carolina. in 1957, he began teaching at new york university, where he remained until his retirement in 1974. opper had two one-man exhibitions during the late 1930s, but it was not until the 1940s that he began to show frequently in large museum exhibitions and receive widespread attention. for opper, this was a time of maturity. in paintings such as farmyard (1937), his abstraction was based on nature; wyoming, however, represents a major conceptual step. by 1947, when it was painted, opper was committed to the idea that \"painting is concerned with painting, \" an end in itself rather than a means to communicate other concerns. early on he was allied with the \"intuitive\" (rather than the rationally inclined) faction within the american abstract artists. but opper moved far afield stylistically from the densely painted, expressionistic works of the 1930s and 1940s. in time, he became known as an abstract expressionist, a painter of large canvases in which vertical bands of varying widths pulsed with color. his gesture was controlled, yet dynamic; his overlays of color luminous and tactile. in these works, and in field paintings in which clouds of color seem to float against soft grounds, he strengthened his commitment to \"painting as painting\" that he first developed as a hofmann student. 1. john opper, interview with irving sandler, 9 september 1968, archives of american art, smithsonian institution, washington, d.c. 2. john opper, sandler interview. 3. j.l., \"john opper interprets the familiar aspects of american life, \" art news 36, no. 2 (9 october 1937): 17. 4. john opper, sandler interview. 5. john opper, sandler interview. source:virginia m. mecklenburg. the patricia and phillip frost collection: american abstraction, 1930-1945 (washington, dc: national museum of american art and smithsonian institution press, 1989), pp. 139-142. copyright 1989 smithsonian institution. all rights reserved. 7 1/2\"h x 11 1/2\"w(sight), 10 1/4\"h x 14 1/4\"w(frame) \n dimensions: 10.25 x 14.25 in"},"estimateMax":3000,"lotNumber":"154","title":{"en":"john opper, american (1908-1994), untitled, 1959, oil on board, 7 1/2\"h x 11 1/2\"w(sight), 10 1/4\"h"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/ripleyauctions/source/catalog/auction/65610/lot/17351/view","tags":["usart_paintings","usart","usart_all"],"directSalePrice":500,"soldPrice":1600,"lastUpdate":"2026-08-11T19:51:12.772Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"$1,500 -

pierce american (1918 - 2007) untitled #97, 1995 resin relief / plexiglass mirror signed and dated verso. provenance: charlotte jackson fine art, santa fe, nm biography from the archives of askart: florence miller pierce was known for thought provoking abstract, non-objective, monochromatic painting rooted in her dedication to zen buddhism and meditation. many of her works give the appearance of floating off the wall, something she achieved with richly colored and textured geometric shapes---polygons, triangles, and rectangles---encased in divided layers of transparent resin over colors that had been softened through mixing with with milled fiberglass. working with resin to create textures occurred for her in 1969 when she 51 years old and was in her new mexico studio making foam sculpture. a chance spill of resin landed on a piece of aluminum foil, and when it hardened, it 'shimmered', and she was fascinated. learning that she could create an interesting effect with resin adhering to mirrored tiles, \"she would continue with the new body of work for nearly 35 years.\" (regan)in 2005, the tucson museum of art held a solo exhibition of work by florence miller pierce, then age 87, and featured were 33 pieces of resin-on-mirror paintings described as \"jeweled bits of minimalism, delicately colored and sensuously textured. sometimes, the thick layers of resin are as pearly and smooth as flesh. elsewhere, where pierce has manipulated the resin while it's drying; the layers are dimpled, folded like cloth, or even crumpled like paper. and their forms echo the sculptures that pierce abandoned when she had her eureka moment. shaped into squares, arches and triangles, they veer into 3-d, hanging out slightly from the walls and casting shadows in the light.\" (regan) she was born with the name florence miller in washington dc, and by age 18, had a serious dedication to art and spiritualism. her parents ran a private boarding school. from childhood, she was interested in art, and nurtured by an art teacher, may ashton, she visited museums. miller studied in dc at the phillips gallery and the corcoran school of art. having become aware that taos, new mexico was an art center from visiting her grandparents, who lived there, she persuaded her parents to allow her to go alone to taos in 1936 for a summer to study at the studio school with emil bisttram, who not only was a highly accredited teacher but who also had a dedication to meditation and spiritualism. she returned to taos in the winter of 1937, and the next year, she returned, at bisttram's invitation, to take part in the forming of the transcendental painting group (tpg). these founders were nine artists dedicated to abstract art expression, grounded in creative art imagination and the transporting of painting beyond objective recognition. in 1938, they banded together to share ideas and organized mutual exhibition venues that made the public aware of fnon-objective and abstract art. she was the youngest member and outlived all the other members of the organization, which held together for several years until world war ii sidetracked their ability to remain a cohesive entity. four decades later, it was written that her austere, abstract works of art reflecting color, beauty and natural forms, were indeed a synthesis of the teachings of emil bisttram who inspired his students with the words \"idea, shape, color and form.\" of her work, pierce reflected that she had been \"trying to do the purest work i knokw how. what comes to mind is the zen word that means original mind, about emptying mind and space.\" (regan) through bisttram, florence miller met horace towner pierce, an art student and one of the founders of tpg, and they married in 1938. he was described as looking like the pipe-smoking movie star, fred macmurray. the couple lived in new york and california, where in 1939, she and her husband, along with other members of the transcendental painting group, exhibited at the golden gate international exposition. by 1950, they had settled in albuquerque. they had two children, one whom died several months after birth. horace pierce, age 41, died suddenly in 1958, when florence was 39. she remained in albuquerque, continuing her commitment to geometric abstract and non-objective painting and relief sculpture of layered dried pigmented resin. some viewers regard her artwork as \"distillations of the new mexico landscape\" with their \"stark geometry and earthy color palette\" (regan) that suggests adobe. however, she was not an artist who did a lot of interacting with other artists as she worked pretty much in isolation and viewed herself as a 'silent artist'. she became a strong admirer of agnes martin, the reclusive painter from taos who was her peer and whose minimalist paintings brought record-breaking prices in new york auction houses. in 2004, pierce, martin and the potter, maria martinez, were honored in a group show, in pursuit of perfection, in santa fe at the museum of fine arts. florence pierce died at age 90 at her home in albuquerque on october 25, 2007 16\"h x 16\"w \n dimensions: 16

munich for two years. there he boarded with maria (miz) hofmann, the wife of hans hofmann; after bultman returned to the united states he studied with hans hofmann in provincetown and new york city. by the late 1940s, he was showing his work with others identified as abstract expressionists; the new york times praised the paintings in 1949 as possessing a \"remarkable power of organization\" that created a \"welcome clarity\" in his densely arranged compositions. in 1950, he was among the group dubbed the \"irascibles\" after protesting the metropolitan museum of art's conservative exhibition program, confirming his place in the avant-garde. he did not appear in nina leen's famous photograph of the group published in \"life\" magazine on january 15, 1951, because he was living abroad. a grant-funded period in italy in 1951 allowed him to learn sculpture, and his bronzes from the 1950s and 60s suggest both monumentality and organicism. he would incorporate sculpture into his work for the rest of his career. after his return from italy, the early 1950s were marked by a retreat from the art world while he pursued freudian therapy; the years after intensive analysis were marked by heightened activity and frequent exhibitions. he showed with the stable gallery, martha jackson, and gallery mayer in the late 1950s. in the 1960s, he began exploring collage in earnest, employing both found and painted papers. the medium would become central to his work. well established by the 1960s, bultman received awards and grants from the art institute of chicago and the guggenheim

b. davis american (1920 - 1985) geometric abstract, 1981 ink on paper signed and dated lower right. provenance: charles cowles gallery, ny, ny biography from the archives of askart: gene davis, a painter associated with the washington color school painters*, was a self-taught artist whose early work represented several phases of experimentation, including abstract expressionism*, neo-dada*, and proto-pop. davis was born in washington, d.c. in 1920. spending most of his life there, he started painting at a very young age, as the artist himself explains to buck pennington in an interview: \"i believe -- when i was eight, nine years old, somewhere in that vicinity, i used to do little childlike drawings and i sent them in to the washington post 's\"children's page\" -- they had a regular \"children's page\" -- and they thought enough of them to publish several of them, one of which won a $1 prize, which was the thrill of a lifetime, of course, in those days. so my interest in visual art goes back to early childhood. and then i took -- i guess it was about a two- or three-hour-a-day drawing course, three times a week, in high school. . . . but then there was a long hiatus there, where i was in the writing \" at the age of 19 his first writing job was as a sports writer for the washington daily news, a paper that no longer exists. between 1945 and 1950, davis wrote for transradio press, covering the end of wwii as well as the truman administration. he earned a living as a writer for close to 35 years before he felt successful enough as an artist to quit his job and to paint full-time in 1968. davis' interest in art was revitalized in the 1950s when he visited the washington workshop and worked with jacob kainen, whom he regards as his guide and mentor. during his experiments of the 1950s, davis produced irregularly shaped masonite panels and panels embedded with rocks and gravel. one work featured a peanuts comic strip covered with blue and white stripes. davis is perhaps best known for his edge-to-edge paintings of vertical stripes, which he first began to produce in 1958. that first stripe painting, considered at the time a maverick work, was approximately 12 by 8 inches, with straight yellow, pink and violet stripes, of uneven width, but alternating with regularity. from this prototype, davis has continued to paint variations of different sizes. his micro-paintings of the mid-1960s were no more than two inches square, and were commonly grouped together on one wall. more often, davis chooses a large canvas or mural, such as south mall project for the new york state capitol, executed in 1969. in the larger paintings, davis uses interval and color to create complex rhythms and sequences of stripes. the stripes themselves vary in width from one-half inch to eight inches. davis considers the vertical stripe as a vehicle for color that follows no preexisting chromatic scale. by varying the hue and intensity of the stripes, davis creates a sense of a figure on a ground, as in red screamer (1968, des moines art center). of the stripes, he has written, \"there is no simpler way to divide a canvas than with straight lines at equal intervals. this enables the viewer to forget the structure and see the color itself.\" davis has taught at the corcoran school of art in washington, d.c., and at various other institutions. as a member of the washington school of color field painters, he was among peers who became famous such as morris louis and kenneth noland, all of whom created variations of striped images, frequently in large scale. gene davis stated, \"i've been an abstractionist from the beginning -- which is unusual. i've never been a realist artist. so i have -- i've had no formal training. i haven't studied from the model. i haven't gone through the usual classical training at all. i just bypassed that entire issue. and i'm not sorry. my art doesn't really require it. i'm a little unusual in that regard, because most artists who are as well known as i am have got all the credentials, not to speak of an m.f.a. or some thing like that. or at least they've got formal training. i don't have any formal training.\" sources: http://artarchives.si.edu/exhibits/presidents/trumandavis.htm http://www.rogallery.w1.com/r/davis_gene/davis-g-biography.htm interview with gene davis, conducted by buck

roth american (1927 - 2004) abstract acrylic on canvas signed with initial and dated lower center. signed verso. biography from vincent vallarino fine art ltd: there has often been a divide between the disciplines of art and science and though the battle lines are deep there are few who possess the skill to not only cross the line but to excel in both as well. no truer words could be spoken for the abstract expressionist painter, poet, photographer and mathematician, jack roth - a man who was represented by knoedler & co., one of the most renowned galleries at that time, and who taught at prominent universities. born in brockway, pennsylvania in 1927 jack roth enrolled at pennsylvania state university in 1943, but his tenure there was interrupted by his service in world war ii. in 1949 he traveled to san francisco where he was first introduced to the bay area group of abstract painters. enrolling at the california school of fine arts, he studied painting under mark rothko, clyfford still, richard diebenkorn, and elmer bischoff. he then returned to pennsylvania where he completed his bachelors degree in chemistry in 1951. in need of a way to support his wife, rachel, and their two children, roth decided to teach art after he received a master of fine arts at the state university of iowa. after sending out hundreds of employment applications with little success, roth chose to return to academia. in 1954 he unsuccessfully applied for the john simon guggenheim memorial foundation fellowship in the field of photography. in the same year, his work was exhibited in the younger american painters show at the guggenheim museum of art, alongside jackson pollack, william de kooning, and robert motherwell ? one of the first major debuts of the abstract expressionist movement to be shown at an american museum. his next move, which roth refers to his southern period, brought him to duke university where he both taught classes and received a doctorate in mathematics. while writing his doctoral thesis, he continued to create art, and in 1963 william lieberman, curator of drawing at the museum of modern art, successfully recommended that the editors of the periodical art in america name roth the new talent graphic artist. also at this time, moma purchased several works from roth for the museum's permanent collection. in need of money roth turned back to his degree and worked, albeit for short periods of time, at the university of kentucky at lexington and the university of southern florida before moving back north to montclair, new jersey. he was hired as the chairman of the mathematics department at upsala college. his employment there lasted for five years before he was fired for 'making waves'. he found a new position at the recently opened ramapo college in 1971, teaching both mathematics and advanced painting. after he received tenure and his finances were secure, his artistic production thrived as he received the first thomases award for contributions at the school and was given a studio to work in. the space allowed him to work with larger canvases and become what he saw as an abstract expressionist colorfield painter. in 1978 the gallery, knoedler & co. in new york city began their representation of jack roth's work. at this time knoedler & co. represented alexander calder, adolf gottlieb, franz kline, robert motherwell, frank stella, david smith, nancy graves and michael goldberg. in 1979 he was rewarded with the prestigious guggenheim fellowship, and in the following two decades, roth continued to balance his two loves, teaching and creating art. 10 1/4\"h x 14\"w(sight), 11 1/4\"h x 15 1/4\"w(frame) \n dimensions: 11.25 x 15.25 in"},"estimateMax":1200,"lotNumber":"172","title":{"en":"jack

long-time resident of los angeles, doyle lane is known for pottery, beadwork and glazed clay paintings in abstract expressionist style that resembled \"exploding orbs\". he did these signature pieces between the 1960s and the 1980s using a method of painting glaze onto flattened circular pieces of clay. then he fired them at high temperatures in a way that created \"textures approximating color-field explosions on painted canvas. the glazes separated from the surfaces, thereby creating beaded and streaking textures and effects.\" he also used the same approach with earthenware pots, where he experimented with the merging of color glazes. the result was pottery that gave the impression of natural formations such as running water, rocks with cracks and fissures, and blowing grasses. making beads became a happy diversion for lane from the labor intensive work with large clay pieces, and many of his beads, resembling small precious stones, he used for jewelry. doyle lane was born in new orleans, and studied at los angeles city college and the university of southern california. one of his early employers was the l. h. butcher company for whom he was a studio craftsman

markman american (1931-2017) fantasy figural drawing colored pencil on paper signed lower right. biography from the archives of askart: \"annapolis artist who drew from imaginary kingdom of mufka dies, \" by chase cook, contact reporter for capital gazette, annapolis, md, june 2, 2017 ronald markman, an annapolis artist known for paintings drawn from a fantasy world he created, died tuesday after a bout with pneumonia. he was 86, and died a day after his birthday. he had a six-decade career as an artist with his work most recently on display in the elizabeth myers mitchell gallery at st. john's college. the exhibition was titled \"the fantastic world of ronald markman.\" his work also has been included in the collections of many major museums, including the metropolitan museum of art and the museum of modern art in new york. in an obituary written by his family, markman's work is described as imaginative and brightly colored. he used an imaginary realm he called mufka, an island nation of unbridled absurdity \"that became the wellspring of his art in 1962,\" the family wrote. \"markman created a limitless stream of imaginative constructions, elaborately painted with his trademark bright colors and quirky cartoon-like characters, \" his family wrote in the obituary. in a 2005 story in the capital, he said he conceived the kingdom while studying in italy on a fulbright scholarship more than 40 years ago. while there, he saw lots of maps and decided one day to make one of his own. he chose the name mukfa because he said he wanted a word that sounded \"slightly obscene, \" but was also sort of lyrical. \"i love the world, \" markman said at the time. \"i love beethoven, van gogh. on the other hand, i see the horror of the world.\" markman said mukfa embodied that dual quality. \"i don't see myself as a mean artist, but i do like to poke fun, \" he said in the article. markman grew up in the bronx and even as a young boy wanted to be an artist. his mother encouraged his interest. his early work was more abstract in nature. once he settled in his kingdom, though, he never felt the need to leave. he was drafted into the army during the korean war, where he worked as a sign-painter. he used the g.i. bill to enroll in yale university school of art, earning both a bachelor's and master's degree. his work was put on display in the early 1960s in the museum of modern art and the whitney museum, and some items were acquired by the art institute of chicago and the hirshhorn museum in washington. markman retired to st. margaret's just outside annapolis in 1998 after his wife, barbara miller, died. a memorial service will be held in september in annapolis. in lieu of flowers, the family asks donations be made to the mitchell gallery at st. john's college or the habitat for humanity of the chesapeake. he is survived by companion\" barbara cabot; daughter ericka markman and her husband joshua horwitz; three granddaughters, tanya, julia and charlotte horwitz; and his brother, peter markman. 15\"h x 17\"w(paper), 20 1/4\"h x 22 1/2\"w(frame) \n dimensions: 20.25 x 22.5 in"},"estimateMax":400,"lotNumber":"180","title":{"en":"ronald

tobey (american, 1890 - 1976) renaissance of a flower, lithograph pencil signed lower right, edition 104/150. editions limited gallery, in label verso. biography from the archives of askart: a painter of small abstract works with underlying religious themes as well as illustrator and muralist, mark tobey remains known primarily for his \"white writing\" paintings that give the impression of being expansive and much larger than they actually are. tobey is sometimes categorized with the abstract expressionists, but in fact he was isolated spiritually and physically from its new york founders because of his immersion in asian religion and major time spent in europe and the pacific northwest. encountering the bahai world faith in 1918 and later zen buddhism was pivotal to mark tobey's life and work in which he expressed themes of oneness and progression. as a result of his obvious commitment to spiritual aspects of painting, he has had a prestigious reputation as a modernist but is perhaps more appreciated in europe and asia than in america. of modern american art, he said: \"there have been 32 isms since the advent of cubism, . . . we have just been confused by the storm. . . we forget that there are today great men in the religious field with as much to offer. . .religion like science must be balanced to bring men to a state of equilibrium and that and that only will bring peace.\" (herskovic 338) mark tobey was born in centerville, wisconsin, and raised in the midwest, lived in indiana and chicago where he briefly attended the art institute school. he worked as a commercial illustrator, and from 1911 to 1922, worked in new york city where he did fashion illustration and caricature for mccalls magazine and other publications. he also took private lessons from kenneth hayes miller. with a keen interest in philosophy and religion, especially beliefs of the orient and middle east, mark tobey's official affiliation with non-western religions began in 1918 when he converted to the bahai faith and joined their world church. then between 1923 and 1931, he lived in several places including seattle, paris, new york city and chicago. in seattle, tobey studied chinese brush-work with teng kuei. from 1931 to 1938, he lived in england, where he was resident artist at the progressive school, darlington hall, near the town of darlington. after that, until 1960, when he moved to basel, switzerland, mark tobey lived in seattle where he was close to persons of asian culture. his painting subjects included portrait and genre scenes, but after 1935, he developed his signature technique of \"white writing\", described by scholar matthew baigell as a \"tangle of thin, continuous linear strokes\" linked to oriental calligraphy and created from his desire not to be bound to realistic form. \"for him, the white lines symbolized light as a unifying idea which flows through the compartmental units of life.\" he avoided focal points in his paintings and let the lines blur so that the overall canvas became a symbol \"of the unity of forms and movements in the universe rather than an example of traditional organization hierarchies in which dominant elements brought lesser ones into subordination.\" his paintings reflect substance but not solidity, a sense of \"cosmic wholeness, suggesting matter, space with nonspace and indivdual stroke with the totality of the pictorial field\". sources include: matthew baigell, dictionary of american art, pp. 354-355 marika herskovic, editor, american abstract expressionists of the 1950s 25 1/2\"h x 19

summers american (1925 - 2016) esperanza, 1978 color woodcut signed center right, edition 56/100. exhibited: the joanne chappell gallery, ca. biography from red dot lady carol summers has worked as an artist throughout the second half of the 20th century and into the first years of the next, outliving most of his mid-century modernist peers. initially trained as a painter, summers was drawn to color woodcuts around 1950 and it became his specialty thereafter. over the years he has developed a process and style that is both innovative and readily recognizable. his art is known for it's large scale, saturated fields of bold color, semi-abstract treatment of landscapes from around the world and a luminescent quality achieved through a printmaking process he invented. in a career that has extended over half a century, summers has hand-pulled approximately 245 woodcuts in editions that have typically run from 25 to 100 in number. his talent was both inherited and learned. born in 1925 in kingston, a small town in upstate new york, summers was raised in nearby woodstock with his older sister, mary. his parents were both artists who had met in art school in st. louis. during the great depression, when carol was growing up, his father supported the family as a medical illustrator until he could return to painting. his mother was a watercolorist and also quite knowledgeable about the different kinds of papers used for various kinds of painting. many years later, summers would paint or print on thinly textured paper originally collected by his mother. from 1948 to 1951, carol summers trained in the classical fine and studio arts at bard college and at the art students league of new york. he studied painting with steven hirsh and printmaking with louis schanker. he admired the shapes and colors favored by early modernists paul klee (sw: 1879-1940) and matt phillips (am: b.1927- ). after graduating, summers quit working as a part-time carpenter and cabinetmaker (which had supported his schooling and living expenses) to focus full time on art. that same year, an early abstract, bridge no. 1, was selected for a purchase prize in a competition sponsored by the brooklyn museum. in 1952, his work, cathedral, construction and icarus, was shown the first time at the museum of modern art in new york city in an exhibition of american woodcuts. in 1954, summers received a grant from the italian government to study for a year in italy. woodcuts completed soon after his arrival there were almost all editions of only 8 to 25 prints, small in size, architectural in content and black and white in color. the most well-known are siennese landscape and little landscape, which depicted the area near where he resided. summers extended this trip three more years, a decision which would have significant impact on choices of subject matter and color in the coming decade. after returning from europe, summer continued to create images which featured historical landmarks and events from italy as well as from france, spain and greece. however, as evidenced in aetna's dream, worldwind and arch of triumph, a new look prevailed. these woodcuts were larger in size and in color. some incorporated metal leaf in the creation of a collage, and summers even experimented with silkscreening. editions were now between 20 and 50 prints in number. most importantly, summers employed his rubbing technique for the first time in the creation of fantastic garden in late 1957. dark vision of xerxes, a benchmark for summers, was the first woodcut where summers experimented using mineral spirits as part of his printmaking process. a fulbright grant as well as fellowships from the louis comfort tiffany foundation and the guggenheim foundation followed soon thereafter, as did faculty positions at colleges and universities primarily in new york and pennsylvania. during this period he married a dancer named elaine smithers with whom he had one son, kyle. around this same time, along with fellow artist leonard baskin, summers pioneered what is now referred to as the \"monumental\" woodcut. this term was coined in the early 1960s to denote woodcuts that were dramatically bigger than those previously created in earlier years, ones that were limited in size mostly by the size of small hand-presses. while baskin chose figurative subject matter, serious in nature and rendered with thick, striated lines, summers rendered much less somber images preferring to emphasize shape and color; his subject matter approached abstraction but was always firmly rooted in the landscape. in addition to working in this new, larger scale, summers simultaneously refined a printmaking process which would eventually be called the \"carol summers method\" or the \" carol summers technique\". summers produces his woodcuts by hand, usually from one or more blocks of quarter-inch pine, using oil-based printing inks and porous mulberry papers. his woodcuts reveal a sensitivity to wood especially its absorptive qualities and the subtleties of the grain. in several of his woodcuts throughout his career he has used the undulating, grainy patterns of a large wood plank to portray a flowing river or tumbling waterfall. the best examples of this are dream, done in 1965 and the later flash flood escalante, in 2003. in the majority of his woodcuts, summers makes the blocks slightly larger than the paper so the image and color will bleed off the edge. before printing, he centers a dry sheet of paper over the top of the cut wood block or blocks, securing it with giant clips. then he rolls the ink directly on the front of the sheet of paper and pressing down onto the dry wood block or reassembled group of blocks. summers is technically very proficient; the inks are thoroughly saturated onto the surface of the paper but they do not run into each other. the precision of the color inking in constantine's dream in 1969 and rainbow glacier in 1970 has been referred to in various studio handbooks. summers refers to his own printing technique as \"rubbing\". in traditional woodcut printing, including the japanese method, the ink is applied directly onto the block. however, by following his own method, summers has avoided the mirror-reversed image of a conventional print and it has given him the control over the precise amount of ink that he wants on the paper. after the ink is applied to the front of the paper, summers sprays it with mineral spirits, which act as a thinning agent. the absorptive fibers of the paper draw the thinned ink away from the surface softening the shapes and diffusing and muting the colors. this produces a unique glow that is a hallmark of the summers printmaking technique. unlike the works of other color field artists or modernists of the time, this new technique made summers' extreme simplification and flat color areas anything but hard-edged or coldly impersonal. by the 1960s, summers had developed a personal way of coloring and printing and was not afraid of hard work, doing the cutting, inking and pulling himself. in 1964, at the age of 38, summers' work was exhibited for a second time at the museum of modern art. this time his work was featured in a one-man show and then as one of moma's two-year traveling exhibitions which toured throughout the united states. in subsequent years, summers' works would be exhibited and acquired for the permanent collections of multiple museums throughout the united states, europe and asia. summers' familiarity with landscapes throughout the world is firsthand.as a navigator-bombardier in the marines in world war ii, he toured the south pacific and asia. following college, travel in europe and subsequent teaching positions, in 1972, after 47 years on the east coast, carol summers moved permanently to bonny doon in the santa cruz mountains in northern california. there met his second wife, joan ward toth, a textile artist who died in 1998; and it was here his second son, ethan was born. during the years that followed this relocation, summers' choice of subject matter became more diverse although it retained the positive, mostly life-affirming quality that had existed from the beginning. images now included moons, comets, both sunny and starry skies, hearts and flowers, all of which, in one way or another, remained tied to the landscape. in the 1980s, from his home and studio in the santa cruz mountains, summers continued to work as an artist supplementing his income by conducting classes and workshops at universities in california and oregon as well as throughout the mid and southwest. he also traveled extensively during this period hiking and camping, often for weeks at a time, throughout the western united states and canada. throughout the decade it was not unusual for summers to backpack alone or with a fellow artist into mountains or back country for six weeks or more at a time. not surprisingly, the artwork created during this period rarely departed from images of land, sea and sky. summers rendered these landscapes in a more representational style than before; however he always kept them somewhat abstract by mixing geometric shapes with organic shapes, irregular in outline. some of his most critically acknowledged work was created during this period including first rain, 1985 and the rolling sea, 1989. summers received an honorary doctorate from his alma mater, bard college, in 1979 and was selected by the united states information agency to spend a year conducting painting and printmaking workshops at universities throughout india. since that original sabbatical, he has returned every year, spending four to eight weeks traveling throughout that country. in the 1990s, interspersed with these journeys to india have been additional treks to the back roads and high country areas of mexico, central america, nepal, china and japan. travel to these exotic and faraway places had a profound influence on summers' art. subject matter became more worldly and non-western as with from humla to dolpo, 1991 or a former life of budha, 1996, for example. architectural images, such as the pillars of hercules, 1990 or the raja's aviary, 1992 became more common. still life images made a reappearance with jungle bouquet in 1997. this was also a period when summers began using odd-sized paper to further the impact of an image. the 1996 night, a view of the earth and horizon as it might be seen by an astronaut, is over six feet long and only slightly more than a foot-and-a-half high. from 1999, revuelta a vida (spanish for \"return to life\") is pie-shaped and covers nearly 18 cubic feet. it was also at this juncture that summers began to experiment with a somewhat different palette although he retained his love of saturated colors. the 2003 far side of time is a superb example of the new direction taken by this colorist. at the turn of the millennium in 1999, \"carol summers woodcuts, 50 year retrospective\" exhibitions were held by the woodstock artists association in new york and at the museum of art and history in santa cruz, california. summers was chosen printmaker of the year in 2004 by the mid-america print council (an outgrowth of the earlier prairie printmakers association) which included a commemorative exhibition of his work at the university of nebraska art center. since the turn of the century, summers' woodcuts have generally been somewhat smaller in scale but more complex and more technically difficult to create. chamba bamba created in 2004 and los volcanes de dia y noche completed in 2005, are more recent editions by summers which required multiple blocks, plus more inks and roller work than many of those before. in 2005, carol summers published the first of two catalogs highlighting artifacts from his extensive collection of early 20th century east indian folk textiles collected over the past 35 years. a treasury of indian folk textiles will be followed by a second catalog of textiles to be published in 2006. a look through these catalogs shows why summers is so attracted to the fabrics, shawls, wall-hangings, blankets and articles of clothing from various villages throughout india. he says that he looks upon these objects as works of art that pay homage to the vitality and imagination of their creators. he also acknowledges that in them he sees his own preferences for fields of color, bright and deeply saturated in shapes and forms that tell a story. 30\"h x

larry zox studied at the university of oklahoma, drake university, and then the des moines art center under the mentorship of george grosz, a figurative artist who nevertheless encouraged the young abstract painter. zox moved to new york in 1958 and became part of the downtown art scene. his earliest works, completed in 1959-62, were painted collages consisting of painted pieces of paper stapled onto joined sheets of plywood. afterwards, he made pictures similar in appearance to the collages, but entirely painted and with straight as well as ragged edges. zox began his 'rotation' series in 1963 to use a standardised geometrical compositional schema as the basis for a series of paintings each different in colour. some of the compositions, suggesting overlapping, bending etc., were evolved with the aid of plywood and perspex reliefs. by the mid-60s, his large geometric paintings were appearing at prestigious galleries. on 20th street, zox maintained a studio that became a gathering place for artists, jazz musicians, bikers, and boxers. a large man, zox occasionally sparred with visiting fighters. later, he had a studio in east hampton, where he liked to fish and was even known to go fish spotting by helicopter. by 2005, when he had his first new york solo show in more than two decades, his style had mellowed from the hard-edged geometry of the 1960s and 70s. his lines had become more fluid and his surfaces more painterly, but his concern with color and shape remained unabated. zox died of cancer on december 16, 2006. 22 1/4\"h x 30\"w \n dimensions: 22.25 x

moran label verso. biography from hollis taggart galleries: frank stella is one of america's leading contemporary artists. throughout his career he has pushed the limits of experimentation in painting, prints, and three-dimensional works, exploring, examining, and reexamining ways of seeing, interpreting, and understanding life. from the 1958 \"black paintings, \" through the shaped canvases, aluminum and copper paintings, and recent sculptural and architectural works, stella has remained at the forefront of the contemporary art scene. born in malden, massachusetts in 1936, stella moved to new york city in 1958 and has spent most of his life living and working in the city. the son of italian immigrant parents, stella attended phillips academy in andover, massachusetts. in the spring of his sophomore year he \"discovered the art and music course, \" where he first met patrick morgan, an abstract painter in charge of the art appreciation/studio classes. (1) in his student works from these years, stella often imitated morgan's technique of laying on paint with a palette knife, scraping the pigments over boards that had been shellacked. since materials were plentiful, as was studio space and time, stella had the freedom to experiment endlessly. (2) stella entered princeton university in 1954 and, while majoring in history, took numerous art history and studio art courses. among his professors were noted art historian and former painter, william seitz and painter stephen greene. seitz was responsible for establishing the fledgling painting program at princeton, which was not-for-credit at first. the program was quite small and among the other students was senior darby bannard (walter darby bannard), who would also become a minimalist painter and from whose estate the present painting comes. seitz also helped create the artist-in-residence program at princeton in 1956 and brought in visiting artists such as stephen greene. both seitz and greene were well connected with the vanguard new york art scene and during his years at princeton, stella accompanied them to exhibitions in manhattan. under their tutelage, stella was introduced to the inner circle of abstract expressionism and quickly became a convert. (3) he painted under the influence of artists such as willem de kooning, helen frankenthaler, and franz kline while at princeton. in january 1958, stella saw an exhibition of jasper johns \"target\" and \"flag\" paintings at leo castelli's gallery new york and was powerfully impressed by them. (4) in response to them, stella embarked upon a language of his own, making paintings with \"single or multiple box forms placed in varying contexts of bands or stripes. these pictures constitute the bridge, or transition, to the black series\" a series of paintings begun in 1958 that firmly established stella's reputation and his individual voice as an artist. (5) shortly after stella graduated from princeton he moved to manhattan and quickly gained recognition in the new york art world. moving further away from the paint-laden, gestural surfaces of abstract expressionist works and towards flatter surfaces and a more minimal color palette, stella's paintings reflected his statement of the time that a picture was \"a flat surface with paint on it?nothing more.\" stella's \"black paintings, \" made from 1958-1960, were early manifestations of this credo, in which he made austere paintings with bands of black paint separated by regular intervals of unpainted canvas. several of these paintings were included in two groundbreaking exhibitions: \"three young americans\" at the allen memorial art museum at oberlin college in 1959 and \"sixteen americans\" at moma in 1959-1960. one of these paintings, \"the marriage of reason and squalor, \" was purchased by alfred barr for the permanent collection of moma. in august of 1959, stella became part of the stable of artists represented by the renowned gallerist leo castelli. not resting on his laurels, nor content to repeat himself, stella soon experimented with new materials, techniques, and styles. in the 1960s, he used aluminum and copper paint and began making differently shaped canvases; not using the typical, and readily available, rectangular or square shapes. he also expanded his color palette and, in some works, arranged these colors in arcs and concentric circles. in the mid-1960s, stella began using a new medium?prints?and worked with kenneth tyler at gemini g.e.l. he designed the set and costumes for merce cunningham's \"scramble\" in 1967 and, in the 1970s, turned his hand to three-dimensional, collaged, relief art. freestanding sculptures followed which developed into elaborate, multimedia creations. his prints also combined various materials and techniques. in the 1980s and 1990s, the artist took as inspiration for his work literary sources such as herman melville's \"moby dick.\" since the late 1980s, stella has been involved with several mural projects and large outdoor sculptural works. in addition, he received his first architectural commission?a band shell for the city of miami, florida, which opened in 2000?and has designed pavilions and museums. constantly evolving, changing, and responding to the world around him, frank stella is one of the most innovative and exciting living artists. he has won numerous awards, grants, and honors and has taught and lectured at universities and museums in america and abroad. he was given his first retrospective at moma in 1970, at the age of 33 and in 2007 the metropolitan museum of art honored him with an exhibition. 1) sidney guberman, \"frank stella: an illustrated biography\" (ny: rizzoli, 1995), 15. 2) william s. rubin, \"frank stella\" (ny: moma, 1970), 8. 3) guberman, 22. 4) guberman, 27. 5) rubin, 9. ? copyright 2008 hollis taggart galleries 15 3/4\"h x 21 3/4\"w(sight), 16 1/4\"h x 22 1/4\"w(frame) \n dimensions: 16.25 x 22.25 in"},"estimateMax":3000,"lotNumber":"196","title":{"en":"frank stella, american (1936-2024), san miguel dominguin, 1970, lithograph, 15 3/4\"h x 21"},"url":"https://us.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/ripleyauctions/source/catalog/auction/65610/lot/17393/view","tags":["usart_printsandmultiples","usart","usart_all"],"directSalePrice":800,"soldPrice":2200,"lastUpdate":"2025-11-14T08:57:23.502Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"$2,000 - $3,000","currency":"USD","id":17393,"estimateMin":2000},{"startPrice":200,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/ripleyauctions/cloned-images/17394/011/011.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/ripleyauctions/cloned-images/17394/012/012.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/ripleyauctions/cloned-images/17394/013/013.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/ripleyauctions/cloned-images/17394/014/014.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/ripleyauctions/cloned-images/17394/015/015.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/ripleyauctions/cloned-images/17394/016/016.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/ripleyauctions/cloned-images/17394/017/017.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/ripleyauctions/cloned-images/17394/018/018.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/ripleyauctions/cloned-images/17394/019/019.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/ripleyauctions/cloned-images/17394/020/020.jpg"],"soldDate":"2025-10-04","available":false,"description":{"en":"jeff wall (canadian, b. 1946) the picture series \"trashed, \" lithograph, 2001 signed and dated verso, edition 2/100. biography from the museum of art, architecture and technology: jeff wall was born in 1946 in vancouver, where he lives and works. he became involved with photography in the 1960s, and by the mid-1970s, he was experimenting with his new version of pictorial photography. from the fall of 1977, his pictures were made as backlit colour transparencies, presented in lightboxes, many of them on a large scale, a medium identified at the time with publicity rather than photographic art. since the mid-1990s, wall has expanded his repertoire, working with traditional black-and-white prints and, more recently, inkjet colour prints. jeff wall?s photographs often depict events the artist has witnessed and reconstructed in a process he calls ?cinematography?. his subject matter ranges from everyday occurrences photographed in real places to imaginary situations constructed in a studio. he is considered one of the artists who, since the 1970s, has led the way in emphasising the affinities between photography, painting, and cinema. he taught art at universities in canada for twenty-five years, and his critical writing has been collected and published in several languages. jeff wall?s pictures have been exhibited worldwide over the past forty years. his work has been the subject of numerous retrospective exhibitions in various institutions. these include the tate modern, london (touring to the schaulager, basel, 2005);

following art school and showed his paintings on the weekends. he found more success after taking the leap to painting full time. jamie rutherford, executive director for gallery 510, said he has become the standard by which other area watercolor artists are compared. \"he really is one of the main figures that comes to mind when thinking of decatur-area artists, \" she said. artist rob o'dell has a way of capturing all of the details in something as simple as a watercolor of an old door and brick wall. o'dell's paintings have been featured in galleries throughout decatur, including the madden arts center, rock springs nature center and gallery 510. he also has been a special feature during the annual arts in central park in september. his paintings remain popular because of the realistic images of nature and simplicity. in a 2011 interview with herald & review staff writer jim vorel, o'dell explained the influence behind his work. \"i like to paint weathered objects particularly, \" he said. \"i'm fascinated by how things deteriorate, the patina that forms. it tells a story. i think a barn has all of the elements and shapes of a good painting in it, with the

thames mississippi (b. 1933) early morning watercolor on paper signed lower right. exhibited william's gallery, ms biography from the archives of askart: the following is from steve zimmerman who writes: i have known the artist for over 20 years. i have several of his paintings in my collection, helped him organize the retrospective of his work at the r.w. norton museum in shreveport, la back in 1984, and personally placed over 50 paintings in collections throughout the midwest. essentially a self-taught artist, emmitt thames, born october 28, 1933 in brookhaven, mississippi, progressed from a rural depression-era childhood into the ranks of the leading american realists. his youth spawned a hard working, somewhat reclusive man, who honed his innate skills for observation and composition into representational art that can accurately be described as \"more feeling than formula\". his early concerns were helping the family grow enough cotton and produce to pay for the necessities of life. fine arts were not a part of his life then and certainly did not constitute latent ambition to be a \"working\" artist. rather, drawing and whittling literally provided amusement for emmitt in an otherwise mundane youth. however, emmitt was never really discouraged from pursuing creativity in his idle hours, but the lack, albeit, the ignorance of fine brushes and paints and all of the other artist accessories were unknown to him in his youth. it was years later after entering the military and being asked to illustrate training manuals that emmitt discovered some of the fine points of illustration and how better paints and brushes then available to him transformed his creativity into motives and thoughts of producing quality work. formal art training, though, was simply not affordable when he needed it most; but his incessant drawing as a child on the blackboards and in even in his school books sharpened skills and provided a foundation upon which he could grow. coupled with a very discerning eye and a willingness to study books and catalogues of the great artists and a penchant to actually observe firsthand some of the great artists past and present in museums and galleries, emmitt thames evolved into a highly skilled artist. his young wife, linda, encouraged him to pursue a career in fine art despite living in an area almost devoid of art schools and talented artists, let alone galleries interested in nurturing a young artist. for subject matter, emmitt thames simply mined his mental diary of experiences and combined those with everyday objects and his local surroundings. much as his idol andrew wyeth did, emmitt observed and recorded without benefit of photographs his life as he has lived it. the everyday events, the commonplace things in the kitchen, in the barn, along a stream, or in the marshes have been assembled in a remarkable journey of where he has been and what he has seen. the presentation is always with feeling and sensitivity, never with formulas. the result is a harmony of composition and familiarity to the viewer, which undoubtedly accounts for the many admirers and collectors of his works. represented through the years by galleries in chicago, indianapolis, new orleans, jackson, mississippi, and west point, mississippi, emmitt's watercolors, egg temperas, gouaches, and oils have found homes in virtually all of the 50 states. mr. thames has won many awards through the years and examples of his work are in museums, government, corporate and university collections as well as hundreds of private collections. he currently lives in gulfport, mississippi and maintains a studio attached to his home. 10 3/4\"h x 14 1/2\"w \n dimensions: 10.75 x 14.5

thames mississippi (b. 1933) heavy snow #203, 1972 watercolor on paper certificate of authenticity verso. exhibited: the folger gallery, in biography from the archives of askart: the following is from steve zimmerman who writes: i have known the artist for over 20 years. i have several of his paintings in my collection, helped him organize the retrospective of his work at the r.w. norton museum in shreveport, la back in 1984, and personally placed over 50 paintings in collections throughout the midwest. essentially a self-taught artist, emmitt thames, born october 28, 1933 in brookhaven, mississippi, progressed from a rural depression-era childhood into the ranks of the leading american realists. his youth spawned a hard working, somewhat reclusive man, who honed his innate skills for observation and composition into representational art that can accurately be described as \"more feeling than formula\". his early concerns were helping the family grow enough cotton and produce to pay for the necessities of life. fine arts were not a part of his life then and certainly did not constitute latent ambition to be a \"working\" artist. rather, drawing and whittling literally provided amusement for emmitt in an otherwise mundane youth. however, emmitt was never really discouraged from pursuing creativity in his idle hours, but the lack, albeit, the ignorance of fine brushes and paints and all of the other artist accessories were unknown to him in his youth. it was years later after entering the military and being asked to illustrate training manuals that emmitt discovered some of the fine points of illustration and how better paints and brushes then available to him transformed his creativity into motives and thoughts of producing quality work. formal art training, though, was simply not affordable when he needed it most; but his incessant drawing as a child on the blackboards and in even in his school books sharpened skills and provided a foundation upon which he could grow. coupled with a very discerning eye and a willingness to study books and catalogues of the great artists and a penchant to actually observe firsthand some of the great artists past and present in museums and galleries, emmitt thames evolved into a highly skilled artist. his young wife, linda, encouraged him to pursue a career in fine art despite living in an area almost devoid of art schools and talented artists, let alone galleries interested in nurturing a young artist. for subject matter, emmitt thames simply mined his mental diary of experiences and combined those with everyday objects and his local surroundings. much as his idol andrew wyeth did, emmitt observed and recorded without benefit of photographs his life as he has lived it. the everyday events, the commonplace things in the kitchen, in the barn, along a stream, or in the marshes have been assembled in a remarkable journey of where he has been and what he has seen. the presentation is always with feeling and sensitivity, never with formulas. the result is a harmony of composition and familiarity to the viewer, which undoubtedly accounts for the many admirers and collectors of his works. represented through the years by galleries in chicago, indianapolis, new orleans, jackson, mississippi, and west point, mississippi, emmitt's watercolors, egg temperas, gouaches, and oils have found homes in virtually all of the 50 states. mr. thames has won many awards through the years and examples of his work are in museums, government, corporate and university collections as well as hundreds of private collections. he currently lives in gulfport, mississippi and maintains a studio attached to his home. 21 1/2\"h x 29\"w(sight), 32\"h x 39 1/4\"w(frame) \n dimensions: 32 x 39.25

families of both gen. robert e. lee and john brown, the abolitionist. fredrick says that he had no choice but to be an artist - he was born one. his parents encouraged what they saw as his budding talent from an early age. his formal art training began at the university of south florida. he went to received his fine arts degree from the american academy of art in chicago, illinois in 1975. he then returned to central florida to study as the protege of artist marilyn bendell for three years. since then, he has continually earned his living as an artist. his career began as a portraitist in manhattan, where he lived for five years. he then returned to florida for the next fifteen years. during this time, besides pursuing his passion for painting, he experimented in real estate, antiques, piano repair and running a bed and breakfast. in 1997, fredrick decided to move to new orleans, the city that held his imagination since his first trip there at the age of fourteen. in new orleans, he renovated a property in the french quarter and as a contemporary impressionist, pursues painting full time. he uses rich color and the entire color wheel to capture light and shadow, and has a distinct way of portraying the romance of a scene. his subjects vary, but he is best known for his city-scapes of new orleans' french quarter and garden district. beyond that, he does portraits, paints louisiana cultural images of mardi gras and mardi gras indians, jazz musicians, bayous, and crawfish boils. his work also extends to scenes of appalachian mountains and florida beaches, as well as both new and old mexico. fredrick credits monet, van gogh and fechin as his inspirations. by studying the work of monet, fredrick learned the importance of light. van gogh led him to see emotion as it can be captured on canvas and fechin led him to see depth in his subjects. 29 1/4\"h x 39 1/4\"w (sight), 35\"h x 45\"w (frame) \n dimensions: 35 x 45

ursula kolmstetter, head librarian of the stout reference library of the indianapolis museum of art, the following is from the website of the artist who lives in indianapolis: (http://www.domontgallery.com) artist statement i began my career as a fine art photographer focused on the decisive moment and pursuing the magic of light. i looked for images that indicated a sense of universal wonderment and unity. in my late 20s, i worked exclusively for conservation groups photographing threatened habitats and endangered species around the world. i photographed so many different mammals in water habitats that water itself became a primary focus for my artistic endeavors. in the process of abstracting the qualities of water, as it transformed into its various aspects of light, color, movement, and energy, i began to experience a relationship with painting. by 1983, painting had become my primary means of artistic expression and landscape painting became the primary focus of my work. my paintings are an expression of inspirations from nature and my relationship to the landscape. i strive to create harmony among the three forms of light available to an artist: surface light, the light of nature, and the light of spirit. my art is about presence and place. i work in the landscape of indiana, my home. our roads, pastures, fields, and forests are the essence of our landscape, the american mid-west. the indiana countryside is both simple and nourishing. it is in the basics of our landscape that one can see and feel the beauty of the essential, the elements of land and sky, of nature and humanity coming together. rather than portraying the realism of a country scene, i am in pursuit of the experiential expression. when one stands alone in a field with grain and sky, wind and color as companions, an experience of unity can occur. i am interested in expressing the harmony of the seen and the unseen. this experience of unity, which brings with it a sense of awe, supports and guides my work. my paintings are an attempt to honor the beauty and magic of living in our time and place. 28\"h x 57 3/4\"w(stretcher), 32\"h x 61 3/4\"w(frame)
