Original Expressionist Figural Painting in Blue White Black and Brown Wash

About the Item

There is something about this solemn portrait that lures you in. Rendered in gestural strokes reminiscent of Franz Kline, the figure cuts across the austere white. The stark field of white is tempered with an ethereal wash of blue and ochre hues. Head bowed, expressionless, it is difficult to decipher gender or mood. Perhaps this is why the viewer’s gaze draws deeper, longer glares. Mysterious, beautiful, sublime. There is more emotion dancing around this canvas than there is paint. The original canvas painting is housed in a dark wood frame, signed and dated, 10/68. The artist’s signature is indiscernible.

  • Sublime Expressionist Blue White and Teal Village Landscape Painting with Boat
    By Edvard Munch
    Located in Chattanooga, TN
    Incredible texture is achieved in this vintage 1972 original, signed painting. The image depicts and ethereal scene along a shoreline. A solitary figure, presumably female, stands gazing at a group of humble homes. Dressed in white with her head shrouded, she stands holding a basket while she looks quietly ahead. One wonders what she is thinking. Is she gazing with a sense of longing? Is she coming or going? She doesn't seem to be poised for action, rather contemplating her next move. The village seems semi-rural. Power lines...

  • James C. Borden Large Cityscape Street Scene Watercolor Painting Cerused Frame
    Located in Chattanooga, TN
    Absolutely masterful watercolor street scene painting by James C. Borden (1928-2013). Prepare to be awestruck when you lay eyes on this exquisitely detailed watercolor painting by James Borden. The modern painting depicts an ethereal urban scene crowned with summer light. The scale itself is impressive at over four feet wide and three feet high (50.75? x 36.675?). There is just so much to see, so much texture, so many layers. Borden has truly mastered his medium. This is a watercolor cityscape on paper, housed in a cerused wood frame and protected by a pane of acrylic. The painting’s vibrant colors have beautifully preserved. The mastery of this painting is unreal. Borden’s orchestration of color leads the eye through the painting with late afternoon sunlight carving a path through an otherwise gray urban interior. His use of color is narrative. The viewer is being teased away from gloomy city life with a glimmer of sun and nature on the horizon. The nuance in his layering, through elevated passages of transparency… simply brilliant. Be sure to spend time with this painting. There is more to see each and every time you look. Did you notice the Easter egg? Borden used his name as the sign on one of the buildings on the left. The painting is pencil signed “Jim Borden.” James C. Borden studied at the School of the American Academy of Art in Chicago and was a life long painter. Mr. Borden spent much of his life in South Bend...
