Nancy Patterson
Folk Art Limited Edition Print 1/20 Morocco African Desert Voyage Dogs Camels

2012

About the Item

This vibrant Folk Art Limited Edition Print is made from a painting on board by the fabulous British Canadian artist Nancy Patterson. It comes from her series ‘Days in the Desert Sun, Nights Under the Magical Moon’, a compelling set of works in the Folk idiom made by Nancy about her life on the edge of the Desert in Southern Morocco. The images tell the narratives, the tales of the community that over the past eighteen years she has become part of. Artwork details: Nancy Patterson, Dar Sidi Bounou, lithographic print, Edition 1 of 20, unframed 27.5 cm x 34cm, 2012. Signed in the print on the front, signed on the back. Provenance, directly from the artist studio. Condition: in excellent condition. There is something very comforting about the term Folk Art, derived from the idea that a work of art is firmly rooted in the community it depicts. Folk Art can initiate feelings of splendid joy. It is often misjudged as holding less regard that some of its fine-art cousins but we need look no further than the fabulous British artist Alfred Wallis or the captivating Canadian painter Maud Lewis to understand that Folk Art can be just as complex in its formal arrangements, compositions and choice of colour palette. Another myth, possibly by those who could not explain the beauty in the Folk Art form, is that this type of art is the sole premise of artists who have had no formal training. This print, after the painting Dar Sidi Bounou shows Nancy's place Dar Sidi in the town of Bounou. In the paintings series, 'Days in the Desert Sun, Nights Under the Magical Moon', Nancy is more often than not seen in her narrative paintings. In Nancy’s own words, 'Excursions into the desert are great fun, but they require a lot of organisation which also means quite a lot of hanging around, however hanging around can be very entertaining as there is always a lot of busy activity to watch. Then eventually when everything is loaded in the camel’s big baskets, off we go at a leisurely pace for a few hours, headed to the open dunes to find a nice place to set up camp and cook supper in a Tajine, on a fire made with bits of wood picked up on the way. I am sitting on the white camel and my friend, Mo from Canada, is on the brown one. Daoud in a blue Gandoura is more or less, in charge of the arrangements with the help of Cambo and Dick, two of the five dogs who like to chase the cats away from the action. The guitar like instrument on the ground is a Guimbri, with some Karkabas, metal double castanets and a ceramic drum, so there will be music after sunset'. Please see the artist’s biography for more information and do feel free to contact us if you would like more details or images.

  • Israeli Naive Art Screen Print Lithograph Jerusalem, Sanhedrin Old City Folk Art
    By Gabriel Cohen
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Bold color lithograph, hand signed in pencil and numbered AP IX/X (artist’s proof 9/10), Jerusalem Print Workshop blind stamp lower right. On French Arches paper. Gabriel Cohen, Self taught, Naive painter was born in Paris in 1933, to parents from Jerusalem with a father who studied the kabbalah. Throughout World War II, the family hid from the Nazis in Paris. Images of Nazi soldiers appear in several of his paintings. In 1949, when Gabriel was 16, the family returned to Israel. They managed to save enough money to move back to the quarter where both parents were born: Ohel Moshe in Nachlaot. Gabriel served in the artillery corps and after the army, went back to live in his parents' house and earned a living polishing diamonds. The head of the polishing plant, who noticed his employee's artistic skill, allowed him to paint during work hours. He once asked Cohen if he could draw a tiger. Cohen drew him a tiger. And he did a lot of sculpting and painting on glass. He also loved to play the guitar, especially flamenco style. Critics say he is one of Israel's greatest naive-style painters. Along with Shalom of Safed, Kopel Gurwin and Natan Heber, He is renowned as one of Israel's greatest living naive-style folk art painters, recipient of the Jerusalem Prize for Art (1987), a permanent entry in encyclopedias of naive painting, who exhibited his work not only in Israel, but also in Paris, Venezuela, Denmark and Germany; the same Gabriel Cohen whose colorful , bold paintings were exhibited at the Jewish Museum in New York in 1987 alongside works by Marc Chagall; the same Gabriel Cohen about whom curator and art scholar Gideon Ofrat says, "There is no questioning his greatness." He has shown in Paris on the Rue de Rosiers in the Marais. His impressions of his journeys, mostly imaginary, yet some real, are expressed in Cohen's paintings. Huge, colorful canvases rich in precise detail and fantasy, in which he paints the Eiffel Tower and the Russian steppes or the vistas of Paris and the Tower of Babel "In my opinion, it's also because the Tower of Babel has some kind of phallic, erotic meaning, but also because of the internationalism, of the mixture and confusion of nations, which is an essential element in Gabi Cohen's work," says Gideon Ofrat. There is no superlative that has not been lavished on Cohen's work by art critics, since he began showing his paintings at age 40, All the art critics seemed to agree at once that Cohen is one of the greatest naive-style painters in Israel. Their counterparts abroad seconded this view. About a year and a half ago, Zadka organized a show for Cohen at the Jerusalem Artists' House. The Tel Aviv Museum bought a painting of Gabi's and so did the Israel Museum, and several artists bought his drawings. He is a great, great painter. There is no painter who is more of a symbolist and illustrative artist than he is. As a painter myself, I admire him." The Yom Kippur War in 1973 sparked an artistic breakthrough for Cohen; it was at that time that he began to sit on the sidewalk after his work as a diamond polisher and paint. Not long afterward, in early 1974, he did a painting he called "Moses on the Mountain." Ruth Debel, of the Debel Gallery in Ein Kerem, passed by and saw it on the street. She asked how much he wanted for it, and for the first time in his life, he realized that his work had financial value. His first show was at the Debel Gallery in 1974. The response was overwhelming. Cohen was immediately declared a genius. His paintings at the gallery were purchased and he continued to create new paintings. That same year, he was invited to take part in a group exhibition of naive artists at the Kunsthaus in Zurich, and a year later, his work was included in a traveling show of naive-style artists from Israel that was exhibited in Denmark and Germany. Soon after that he was invited to be part of group shows in Venezuela and at the Tel Aviv Museum. Cohen had four solo shows at the Debel Gallery.
