About the Item
This abstract pastel drawing by artist Amalua Schulthess features large light and dark blue blocks crossed by wide black lines. They are so wide that they could be easily mistaken for roads, like the pattern shaped by crossing highways in the western megalopolis. The artwork sits in a metal gold frame and is simply signed "amalia"
Amalia Schulthess grew up in Switzerland and studied at the State College Trogen, Appenzell Ausserrhoden, and the Kunstgewerbeschule, Zurich.
Paul Klee who was a friend of her father had been a key source of inspiration to Amalia; he encouraged her to express herself and commit to the pursuit of artmaking.
After World War II, she moved to New York where she met and became friends with Piet Mondrian encouraged her to paint and gave her many good ideas for exercises in painting that could prove helpful to her technique. At this time, she was primarily painting with oil, and drawing with pastels and color pencils.
In 1941 she moved to Los Angeles where until the 1960s, she focused on exhibiting her paintings in galleries and museums in California and New Mexico, an area she was drawn to because of the natural landscape and indigenous culture.
By the late 60s, she began exploring the three-dimensional medium after Andrew Dasburg suggested the abstract nature of her two-dimensional works might translate well to sculpture. Amalia’s sculptures are very much part of the avant-garde Modernist discourse. In an attempt to learn more, she divided her time between living in Los Angeles and Florence, Italy. She was involved in numerous shows in Taos and Santa Fe New Mexico, California (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, La Jolla, Long Beach), New York, Zurich, Switzerland, Italy, and France. Her sculptures reside in numerous countries and states including Texas.

- Abstract Watercolor #3 by Carl Lewis PappeLocated in Pasadena, CANahuatl art inspired this multicolor geometric abstract by artist Carl Lewis Pappe. The overall impression is of a colorful overlap of shapes of different sizes thanks to curvy black lines. The crossing of these black lines creates a large variety of geometric forms. Some forms have been left almost blank, because the artist added small red circles or ovals, suggesting some kind of mysterious gates to another dimension. It adds a sense of wonder to the general feeling of the artwork. Th abstract is signed by the artist at the lower right and dated 1989. It is labeled for Taxco, Mexico. Painter, sculptor, and printmaker Carl Lewis Pappe was born in Hungary in 1900. He died in 1998. Following grade school, Pappe first enrolled at the Cleveland School of Art (not the Cleveland Institute of Art) from 1921 to 1925. Upon graduation, the Hungarian Society awarded him a full scholarship to attend the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, where he studied under Daniel Garber and Hugh Breckinridge. In the late 1930s, Pappe and Goodspeed opened a studio and gallery in the silver mining...Category
