Carl Holty
Mosaic II

circa 1948

About the Item

Appropriately called the "Mosaic" period for important historical artist Carl Holty, this is a super example! His color use during this time frame was lively as he always used sky blues, fresh greens and vivid oranges and purples. These works like this one, are often drawn off landscapes or figures and this landscape is clearly mid-summer. Newly framed in a contemporary float frame with silver front, this work is ready to hang. Carl Holty was one of the few Americans to bring cubist techniques back from Paris where he was involved in the Abstract Creationist group. He moved stylistically through different experimentations in abstraction throughout the years and this is a mid-period work. He had a Retrospective at the Georgia Museum of Art during the COVID period and there is fine video of this exhibition on their site. The painting itself measures 18 x 24 inches inside the frame.

  • Head to Sea, Modernist sailing scene
    By Ralph Eugene Della-Volpe
    Located in Greenwich, CT
    A vibrant and yet romantic sailing scene which was a favorite series by Della-Volpe. His compelling colorist approach has made his works desirable as he was one of the few artists post-war to be representative in style like Milton Avery and Wolf Kahn. Head to Sea has the hallmark intense and lovely coloration for which Della-Volpe is known. He came out of Abstract Expressionism in the New York school but then pivoted, like Milton Avery to representational, colorist work. The frame is a silvered gold leaf float frame of quality and has a rubbed, antiqued surface...
