About the Item

Hand carved wood sculpture torched burnished and painted mahogany Greg Joubert was born in 1977 and raised in the seaside New England town of Hingham, Massachusetts. Joubert gained his first experiences in woodworking while by his grandfather’s side as the elder practiced carpentry and craft creating useful tools, furniture, and artful objects. As a child uninspired by what traditional schooling offered, he could often be found drawing, sketching, and creating imaginative toys, forts, and objects mostly from found materials most notably being wood. Joubert rebelled and followed his own path of learning by spending hours in study and reflection in the earthy classroom of the beaches and forests surrounding his home. Much of his time was spent in contemplation of the spectrums of human action and inspiration. While studying at Johnson and Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island, he once again found the curriculum of customary education to lack the integrity and profundity he desired to maintain. In January of 2002, his search for a career that would sustain his creativity and passions pointed him across the country to a Fine Woodworking & Furniture program in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In a leap of faith and determination for furthering an inspired, creative life, he relocated to Santa Fe sight unseen. While his time in the woodworking program developed within him a deeper knowledge of craftsmanship, it was through his interactions with several artists in the Santa Fe community that he was formally initiated into his life as a sculptor. Joubert instantly took to the freedoms associated with sculpture, while still utilizing his knowledge and craftsmanship of the fine woodworking craft. Within six months of creating his first piece, Joubert began exhibiting his work at a gallery on the famed Canyon Road in Santa Fe. After graduation, his experimentation and journey into the world of art and sculpture continued to deepen. His work has been collected nationally and internationally both privately and publicly. Presently, he continues to expand his palette and styles working in his Santa Fe-based studio.

  • Untitled
    By Richard Pousette-Dart
    Located in Miami, FL
    Acrylic on masonite. This is a pivotal work in deep and radiant cobalt blue from 1950. It dipicts calligraphic and hieroglyph structures over a grid and pyramidal base by the first generation abstract expressionist. Provenance: Skinner: November 13, 1992 [Lot 00219}, The entry in the Skinner catalog indicates that the painting came directly from the artist to the family of the consignor to Skinner. Kaminsky Auctions. There is an unbroken paper trail that traces the ownership of the painting from the current owner, through two auction houses to the artist. Perfect unbroken provenance. Pousette-Dart was among the most inventive of the Abstract Expressionist generation, His uncanny talent was to expand the nature of abstraction and still make each mark each element very much his own; a reflection of what he called   "the concealed power of the spirit," he said, “not of the brute physical form."   His was not aiming for a singular, realized aesthetic formula but to expand the possibilities of painting; the transcendental in painting. Typical of such invention and exploration is this  painting  Untitled 1950 when the artist was only 34 years old and represented by one of the champions of the new American painting, Betty Parsons.  
A banner year for Pousette-Dart, the Museum of Modern Art acquired their first painting by the Minnesota born artist.  He worked on easel size works such as this painting an oil on masonite. At the same time Pousette-Dart was also working on larger scale works such as Path of the Hero, running over ten feet in length now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  Both contain fields of color articulated by a highly sophisticated white hieroglyphic vocabulary. Rather than demonstrate an expressionist sensibility, Pousette-Dart harnesses his more cerebral ideas transforming thick areas of paint into a more refined composition of geometric forms akin to the pattern and forms of say a stained glass window. In a way he is looking back at Fugue, 1940 a black and white composition which makes use of a similar format of painting albeit smaller. Color and form are minimal, but what Pousette-Dart has maximized is the rhythmic and syncopated character of painting casting his ideas into purely symbolic terms that one might link to the pictograms of Adolph Gottlieb. Nonetheless, nature is always at the core of Pousette-Dart’s thinking and dreaming. Here he has transformed the local Ramapo Mountains—where he will eventually move with his family to live and work— into a complex series of articulated fragments linked by style, scale and color.  The painting’s imagery built on two large triangles and reduced to just two colors, cobalt blue and white all outlined in black.  Pousette-Dart symbols stacked in horizontal and vertical rows:  blue is ground, white is language, symbolic of light, consciousness and awareness . The painting maintains a mystical character images compounded that formulate a secret code and linked to the series of white paintings Pousette-Dart authored in the first half of the 1950s. Get up close to the picture and you discover images within images a kind of picture puzzle...
