Florentine Birch, trees, nature, over classically patterned paper

2017

About the Item

Even though recognizable as trees, the artist considers the birch works to be process-oriented abstractions. "I am interested in the interplay between the abstract markings and the staccato character of the tree forms. With dense repetitions and anthropomorphic suggestions, the birch tree series presents forests that are akin to those of childhood fairytales, where one can be hopelessly lost. Coexisting with this discomforting circumstance, there remains a suggestion of the endless wonder, continuity, and power of renewal in nature. Life spirit prevails beyond what is scientifically measurable and knowable in a physical sense. And, for me, this confirms faith in the unknowable."

  • Jan Matulka VIEW OF THE BRONX Watercolor American Modern NYC 20th Century
    By Jan Matulka
    Located in New York, NY
    VIEW OF THE BRONX Watercolor American Modern Modernism NYC 20th Century Drawing. Jan Matulka (1890 – 1972) "View of the Bronx," 15 x 20 inches. Watercolor on paper, c. 1920s. Signed lower Right. In 1907, he came to the Bronx, New York where he had a poverty-ridden childhood with a mother who tried to raise a family by herself. From 1908 to 1917, he studied at the National Academy of Design, and in 1917, received the first Pulitzer Traveling Scholarship with which he traveled and painted in the Southwest and Florida. His work from this period showed a turning towards a more abstract style, replacing his earlier realism. In 1919, he first went to Paris and then returned in 1927 on a scholarship from the National Academy. In Paris, he was exposed to Cubism, and his painting after that seemed always to carry that influence. He had his first one-man exhibit in New York City in 1925, and by 1930, he and Davis were experimenting with their version of Cubism. Concurrently for New Masses, a communist magazine, he did satiric illustrations expressing his sympathy for the working classes, and from 1929 to 1931, he taught at the Art Students League where he inspired emerging modernists such as David Smith, Dorothy Dehner, and I Rice...
