BIO
Clarence Carter was born in Portsmouth, Ohio, and began painting at an early age. He studied at the Cleveland School of Art from 1923 to 1927, and as a result of patronage from local arts supporter William Millikin, Carter was able to travel to Europe. While in Italy, Carter felicitously met and was encouraged in his studies by Hans Hoffman.
Back in the United States, Carter taught at the Cleveland Museum of Art from 1929 to 1937. He was also Director of the Federal Art Project for Northeastern Ohio, and taught at the Carnegie Institute. He served as guest instructor at various institutions including the Minneapolis School of Art (1949), Lehigh University (1954), Ohio University (1955), Atlanta Art Institute (1957), Lafayette College (1961), and the University of Iowa (1970).
Carter was a member of the American Water Color Society, and in 1962, served as Vice President.
He used a watercolor technique that involved precise use of form, quick color washes and little retouching. From the beginning of his career, Carter painted in a modernist idiom characterized by a precise, realist line and strong psychological component. His work from the 1930s can be considered part of American Scene painting, and he was much concerned with the complex realities of American rural life.
There is a rich emotional quality to Carter's work, and he once said "For me no great art has ever existed without some mystery and some awe. That is the vast intangible, which can never be defined but only felt in an elusive way, that stirs the spirit." (Frank Anderson Trapp, Clarence Holbrook Carter, (New York: Rizzoli Books, 1989, p. 7)

- Three Pyramids + Blue BallBy Alexander CalderLocated in Palm Desert, CA"Three Pyramids + Blue Ball" is a gouache on paper by Alexander Calder. The work is signed in the lower right, "Calder 73”. Although renowned for his innovative and groundbreaking sculptures, Alexander Calder started his artistic career as an abstract painter, preferring to use gouache. What is gouache? Gouache is a water-soluble paint – a type of opaque watercolor. As Calder returned to gouache painting towards the end of his life, he was now armed with a lifetime of experience as a sculptor. He explored the three-dimensional vocabulary of sculptural forms he had developed onto the two-dimensional surface of the paper. Certain shapes and colors recur throughout his gouaches and sculptures. Circles, ovals, and other geometric forms dominate the space. There is the same sense of energy and fluidity. The shapes do not sit on the surface but vibrate giving a feeling of movement in contrast to the static nature of painting. Like his sculpture, Calder’s gouache...Category
