About the Item
Discover the captivating allure of this abstract assemblage composition by German (Hannover) artist Hans-Jürgen Breuste (1933-2012). Crafted with mixed media on a wooden board, it combines wood, brass, rope, and canvas cloth. The elements in this artwork come together in perfect harmony and creates a warm and grounding ambiance that will captivate your senses.
Due to the materials used the artwork has a striking three dimensionality to it that enhances the mystique and the curiosity you feel towards this artwork. Breuste has titled the assemblage ‘immer den kopf hoch und nicht traurig sein’ which directly translates to ‘always keep your head high and don’t be sad’, and has also and inscribed an ‘I’ in the front lower left of the artwork. This adds one more dimension of relatedness as the artwork might be interpreted as a portrait.
The 'Always Keep Your Head High And Don't Be Sad' assemblage draws inspiration from the 1950s and the post-war period, a time when the revival of relief sculpture became a modern phenomenon. Artists like César, Louise Nevelson, and Alberto Burri experimented with relief sculptures and assemblage techniques, leaving an indelible mark on the art world.
Hans-Jürgen Breuste, a multi-talented artist, found his passion in art at the age of 23, leaving behind his life as a mason. His works, including bronze and stone sculptures for public spaces and thought-provoking assemblages, have earned him recognition for his artistic prowess.
The assemblage is signed H.J. Breuste, dated ‘62’. The artwork has a new bespoke frame in white lye-treated ash wood, specifically designed to complement the look and feel of the assemblage. The dimension of the assemblage is 25,2in (H) x 18,9in(W) / 64cm(H) x 48cm(W). The assemblage is in great condition, with only natural wear consistent with its age and minor cracks at assembly points. Arrives ready to hang.

- "Ribbon" Extra-Large Contemporary Landscape Painting By American Martin HoffmanBy Martin HoffmanLocated in Frederiksberg C, DKIntroducing "Ribbon," an extraordinary painting from the "Jersey Meadow Series" by Martin Hoffman in the 1970s. From the 1970s onwards, Hoffman's career showcased a masterful combination of beautiful painting techniques and challenging subject matter. This contemporary painting depicts an abandoned landscape with a hypnotic blue plastic ribbon at its center. Hoffman's landscape creates an almost mesmerizing effect, where the subject matter of destruction and decay is presented poetically. The warm shades of grey with hints of blue, brown, and purple create a limited yet powerful palette that enhances the melancholic beauty of the painting. The painting measures 151cm x 202cm / 59.5in x 79.5in and is signed 'Martin Hoffman' on the reverse side of the canvas. It is titled 'Ribbon' and is dated '73.' Additionally, the artist specifies that the painting is part of the 'Jersey Meadow Series.' It is ready to hang and comes with a silver-painted frame. The condition of the painting is great, with hardly any signs of wear. The frame has a few scratches but is otherwise in good condition. Artist Bio: Martin Hoffman was a versatile artist and illustrator, mostly known for his paintings. He was a self-taught painter and a gifted drummer who had worked as an art director for the Miami News, Graphic Arts Inc., and Steiner & Wall Advertising.

- Gold & DespairBy Johanna SchwarzbeckLocated in Brooklyn, NYGold & Despair is my adaptation of Gustav Klimt’s masterpiece "The Woman In Gold", also known as The Mona Lisa of Austria. Having admired the symbolic art of Klimt since my working days as a fine art restorer at Vienna’s prestigious Conservation Institute (Bundesdenkmalamt) in the 1980’s, I conceived the idea to recreate the jewel of his gilded period with an interpretive lens on the looming darkness of the Holocaust and World War II. As a native of Austria, Salzburg, I have developed an appreciation for Klimt’s art, and Art Nouveau in general. For the last thirty years, I have lived in New York City and worked as a fine art restorer, conservator, and painter as well as in the healing arts. Klimt had executed The Woman in Gold in the span of four years (1903-1907). My own creative process during 2014-2017, reflects my diligent care and thoroughness in rendering the original painting. In 2014, I started with the preparation of the canvas using Klimt’s original size of 54 x 54 inches (167 x 167 cm). For gesso, I used the traditional method of rabbit skin glue and chalk. For the painting, I used oil paints and genuine 23.5 karat gold in various shades, as well as silver leaves, to magnify the brilliant sheen of Klimt’s gold...Category
