Cathedral Woods, Monhegan Island, Maine Coast, Yolanda Fusco, Abstract

About the Item

Born in Czechoslovakia, Yolanda Fusco came to the United States in 1930. With a full scholarship, Fusco attended the Art Students League in New York where she studied with Vaclav Vytlacil, Ernest Fiene and Harry Sternberg. She also studied at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. Fusco had solo exhibitions in Long Island, New York City and Daytona Beach, and participated in numerous group shows. She received a Top Award from the Village Art Center Gallery in New York for "The Land and the Sea," a watercolor and one of her first paintings of Monhegan Island. Fusco was a member of the National Association of Women Artists and was one of the founding members of the Women Artists of Monhegan Island group. In an explanation of her theory of art, Fusco said she liked to simplify things. "Like poetry, a painting should be the essence of thought and vision. That's how I feel about it."

  • Three Pyramids + Blue Ball
    By Alexander Calder
    Located 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...
