About the Item
A strikingly original and expansive retro painting of a nude set against a painted graphic design from 1976 by British born artist Ewart Johns. The strong blue and green background skillfully enhances the simplistic execution of the figure rendered in a delicate shade of light pink.
This 1970's work was painted when the artist was increasingly interested in executing a number of paintings of women with automobiles and paintings devoted to buildings; namely those of the campus at Lancaster University UK, where he was then working as Head of the Department of Visual Art.
Born in 1923 in Barry, South Wales, Ewart Johns was a practising artist until his death in 2013. From Barry to Cambridge, then London to Exeter, his love of drawing, painting and the broader arts shaped his early life and enhanced his career at Exeter University.
Following a year in the USA, in 1972, he was the founding head of the new Department of The Visual Arts at Lancaster University. In the 1980s, he moved back to Devon to concentrate fully on his own artwork. He was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Arts from the University of Plymouth in 2001.
Ewart John's creative life also involved theatre production and design, writing and music but primarily he was an artist who has shared his love of exploring line form and colour during his teaching career, while at the same time producing a very large body of this own works.
He exhibited widely, and his paintings are represented in a number of public art collections the UK.

- Modernist Interior Kneeling Female Nude Figure Bezael Schatz Israeli PaintingBy Bezalel SchatzLocated in Surfside, FLGenre: Israeli Subject: Abstract Medium: Oil Surface: Canvas Dimensions: 24" x 20" Bezalel (nicknamed “Lilik”) Schatz was an Israeli artist, son of Boris Schatz, founder of the Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts in Jerusalem. Born in 1912 to Boris Schatz, and his wife Olga, an art critic. From an early age, he demonstrated considerable talent for gymnastics and music, but especially for art. He grew up in a home in which artists were a constant presence, he was introduced to Israel’s most prominent leaders, and the first public exhibition of his artwork coincided with his Bar Mitzvah celebration. He attended the Gymnasia in Jerusalem and at age 14 completed his studies at the Bezalel School. In 1930, Bezalel joined his father on a fundraising tour of Europe and the United States, where they also exhibited their artwork and that of Bezalel students. Following his father’s death in 1932, Bezalel left Israel for a period of about two decades. He spent the first four years studying at the Grand Chaumiere Academy in Paris. There, given the fairly conservative artistic views he had acquired at home and school – where modernism was denounced – he had to pave his own way as an artist among his peers. Between 1937 and 1951, Bezalel resided in the U.S. Near the end of WWII, he worked in a California shipyard, and it was there he met his future wife, Louise. He was also introduced to the novelist Henry Miller in California, and their friendship blossomed into a creative collaboration. The artist May Ray...Category
