Bud Holman
Bud Holman is a master who was a regular in the New York art world for twenty years (from 1954–1974) when his closest friends were Cy Twombly and Robert Rauschenberg. He had started off as a curator at MoMA and then became director of a major gallery. During the early 1960s he was the artist-curator who built David Rockefeller’s famous art collection for Chase Manhattan Bank. Despite his connections reading like a Who’s Who in the New York art world he was never an opportunist. In 1974 this prodigal son returned to the West of his youth — first Santa Fe and then Arizona — always near the mountains. There he meditated on what the beauty of the sacred lands of the Native Americans really meant. Roaming their mountains, hills, and high deserts he found peace — and a new fervor. As his mature style emerged, he became increasingly reclusive, devoted to capturing on canvas the vibrant spirit of the Western landscape. An energy reverberates through his paintings in a myriad of colors applied with bravura brushwork. It’s how he captures movement in space, light, and color dancing across the surface. Most landscape painters direct the eye to paths that lead to focal points deep in a scene. Holman’s vibrant brushwork instead creates color paths that draw our gaze upwards to the high horizon bands that crown his landscapes, releasing us to the sky like a pressure valve. This is how his compositions resonate and play to our subconscious. In short, his finished canvases make the sublime visual. Holman avoided exhibiting until a 2017 retrospective at the Mulvane Art Museum in his hometown of Topeka, Kansas. Now 95, he continues to paint many hours every day at his studio home in Nogales, Arizona. - Peter Hastings Falk

- "Manhattan Night Life"By Vaclav VytlacilLocated in Lambertville, NJJim’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...Category
