Bren Bauer
Modernist Self Portrait of The Artist

2002

About the Item

A colorful modernist portrait of a woman by Bren Bauer (American, 20th-c.), the lines of which are reminiscent of Modigliani. In contrast to the artists use of bold color and movement in the image, the subject's expression is serene. Signed "B. Bauer" lower left. Displayed in a giltwood frame. (Autograph on verso "Matt Granz - 2002", Matt is a bay area fine art photographer who managed the gallery show in 2002). Image, 25"H x 15.5"L. Education: B.A., University of Texas at Austin. From Austin, Texas, Bren Bauer is an artist, designer, and photographer living and working in New York City. The artist began her career in San Francisco. Her themes were primarily abstract, figurative, and culinary in nature. The palettes were vibrant colors of reds, oranges, and blues. Bren enjoyed early success in commissioned work. She primarily works in abstract themes in a variety of mediums. In her expressive paintings one can find juxtapositions of form and color, lyrical and imaginative themes, and interlocking planes. Throughout her work, Bauer demonstrates strong, balanced, and lyrical compositions. Inspiration comes from many places and manifests itself into her work in the forms of nature, flora and fauna, typography, lines, geometric shapes, and the female form. Her figurative paintings of women hint at self-portraiture and are self-reflective. Her paintings reside in private collections and luxury hotels including New York City’s Carlyle Hotel and the Grand Hotel Europe in St. Petersburg, Russia.
