Gary Masline
Oil on Canvas Portrait -- In Thought

2006

About the Item

In this portrait, the androgynous blonde sits in the middle, among light colored sheets and towels, soft elements in an otherwise angled room. Bending forward, the subject shows an expression of deep thought, eyes closed, calm and with what might be a lingering smile on the lips. Despite the short cropped yellow hair, the subject exudes an air of contentment and comfort in the nude body. The figure and the light is foregrounded while the background adds an element of mystery in its deep colors of brown and red. This is a compelling piece that attracts attention. The painting is wonderfully framed; it is signed in the back by the artist. Gary Masline is a landscape and figurative artist, whose works present wide and expansive American panoramas in which humans try to toil. His background includes training in the law, a career as a government official, and active participation in a community of Upstate New York artists.

  • Oil on Canvas -- At Day's End
    By Gary Masline
    Located in Troy, NY
    At the center of this oil on canvas painting is the foregrounded portrait of a young man. Over his right shoulder, through some trees, appears the brilliant light of a setting sun. The man's gaze at the viewer has a languid similarity to La Gioconda. It is a laid back presentation punctuated by a brown hat worn back on red hair. The artist emphasizes the clothing texture of the pearl white shirt and the butter cream suit...

    Artwork unframed 60 x 50 x 3 cm What are people's criteria for judging beauty? A beautiful face? A different existence? A feeling of pleasure? Or just follow what others say and make yourself feel the same way? People say the Winged Victory is very beautiful. Admirers come to the Louvre from all over the world. A lot of them just to take a picture to prove they saw it and say to friends, look, this is Winged Victory, how beautiful! Is it really that beautiful in her mind ? not necessarily. If it has head, do you still think it is beautiful? I am afraid many people will have a negative opinion.
