About the Item
SALE ONE WEEK ONLY
This monochrome abstract work by M. Saffell Gardner is a sumi ink on watercolor paper piece that evokes the feelings of a dark American poem. Sumi ink, also called inksticks, is made mainly from soot of burnt lamp oil or pinewood, animal glue and perfume and is fine grained with a light, slightly ringing sound when tapped. Traditional to East Asian cultures, they have been highly prized and collected for the decoration that is applied to the stick itself, synthesizing the tool with the medium. Gardner's usage of it is evocative in the darkness it conveys. Measurements for Painting without frame: 18 Inches W X 33 Inches.

- "Icarus Suspended" Abstract Mythical Figurative Mixed MediaBy Michael AyrtonLocated in Detroit, MI“Icarus Suspended” is an extraordinary painting of Ayrton's obsession with flight, myths, mirrors and mazes. This complex piece shows a figure in flight, frozen in action, either swooping down or, perhaps, falling to earth. Named after the Greek mythological figure, Icarus, who along with his father attempted to escape from Crete by means of wings that his father constructed from feathers and wax. Flying too close to the sun the wax melted and both fell to earth. The positioning of Ayrton's figure is reminiscent of "The Fall of Icarus" by Jacob Peter Gowy, Museo Nacional del Prado. This is part of a series of artworks on Icarus some sculptural and some three-dimensional paintings on canvas. Verso contains gallery label Matthiesen Gallery, 142 Bond St., London, England, with a signature and text in upper right corner: "To Morton Schotnick. Bought on the occasion of The Archives of American Arts Tour to London, England. October 10, 1961. Michael Ayrton...Category
