Body in the Field #5 - Contemporary art, abstract painting, landscape, yellow

2023

About the Item

Body in the Field #5, 2023 oil on canvas 55 1/8 H x 39 3/8 W in. 140 H x 100 W cm Zsolt Berszán embodies in his works the dissolution of the human body through the prism of the fragment, the body in pieces, and the skeletal carcass. It is the bone that contains within itself a silent past suggesting links to an unimagined future. The bone gives meaning to the transcendence of space and time. His mutilated bodies are outside an individual memory and are the remains of anonymous, collective bodies not linked to the memory of a specific person or experience. Decomposing bodies, human remains and carcasses, bodies in pieces, populate his landscapes. The subject is the human body abandoned in the field, which reflects the seemingly contradictory idea of being present through the duality of presence-absence. However, everything describes a disintegration and disappearance into nothingness. The ephemerality of the body is depicted by a series of contortions, eviscerations, and decompositions that create a macabre game in a background immersed in solar plenitude. The vividness of the colours may refer to the hope of reintegration into nature, of fusion and rebirth. Thus, from this perspective, the body trace becomes a metaphor for life and memory.

  • "Manhattan Night Life"
    By Vaclav Vytlacil
    Located in Lambertville, NJ
    Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork by: Vaclav Vytlacil (1892-1984) He was born to Czechoslovakian parents in 1892 in New York City. Living in Chicago as a youth, he took classes at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, returning to New York when he was 20. From 1913 to 1916, he enjoyed a scholarship from the Art Students League, and worked with John C. Johansen (a portraitist whose expressive style resembled that of John Singer Sargent), and Anders Zorn. He accepted a teaching position at the Minneapolis School of Art in 1916, remaining there until 1921. This enabled him to travel to Europe to study Cézanne’s paintings and works of the Old Masters. He traveled to Paris, Prague, Dresden, Berlin, and Munich seeking the works of Titian, Cranach, Rembrandt, Veronese, and Holbein, which gave him new perspective. Vytlacil studied at the Royal Academy of Art in Munich, settling there in 1921. Fellow students were Ernest Thurn and Worth Ryder, who introduced him to famous abstractionist Hans Hofmann. He worked with Hofmann from about 1922 to 1926, as a student and teaching assistant. During the summer of 1928, after returning to the United States, Vytlacil gave lectures at the University of California, Berkeley, on modern European art. Soon thereafter, he became a member of the Art Students League faculty. After one year, he returned to Europe and successfully persuaded Hofmann to teach at the League as well. He spent about six years in Europe, studying the works of Matisse, Picasso, and Dufy. In 1935, he returned to New York and became a co-founder of the American Abstract Artists group in 1936. He later had teaching posts at Queens College in New York; the College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, California; Black Mountain College in North Carolina; and the Art Students League. His paintings exhibit a clear inclination toward modernism. His still lives and interiors from the 1920s indicate an understanding of the art of Cézanne. In the 1930s, his works displayed two very different kinds of art at the same time. His cityscapes and landscapes combine Cubist-inspired spatial concerns with an expressionistic approach to line and color. Vytlacil also used old wood, metal, cork, and string in constructions, influenced by his friend and former student, Rupert Turnbull. He eventually ceased creating constructions as he considered them too limiting. The spatial challenges of painting were still his preference. During the 1940s and 1950s, his works indicated a sense of spontaneity not felt in his earlier work. He married Elizabeth Foster in Florence, Italy, in 1927 and they lived and worked in Positano, Italy for extended periods of time. Later on, they divided their time between homes in Sparkill, New York and Chilmark, Massachusetts, where Vyt, as he was affectionately called, taught at the Martha's Vineyard Art...
