About the Item
This strikingly etherial Mid-Century Modernist Vera Idelson 'Composition Biomorphique' Tempera on masonite Painting originates from Israel, created in 1946. A unique and gorgeous piece, the painting consists of a amorphous form in the center of the composition where a variety of distinct biomoriphic forms wind into and around one another in a variety of carefully balanced and dynamic colors and well achieved gradients of value and temperature. Full of movement and powerful contrasts, the eye is drawn into the painting upon first glance and then travels throughout the harmonious curvilinear lines and sumptuous forms brilliantly depicted in the Tempera on Wood Panel. Full of complimentary contrasts of greens, reds, pinks, and blues, along with dashes of white and yellow and hints of more neutral grey tones, with a deep and alluring shadow floating around the edge of the central composition, making the form feel as though it's sinking into or emerging from a deep and mysterious blue environment. Rendered in Tempera, a fast drying and highly durable paint formed from egg yolks serving as the binder, this painting is in stunning condition and painted with fluidity in confidence. Vera Idelson is an Israeli artist known for her use of winding forms and unique compositions, personal and yet grounded in the sensibility of Mid-Century Modernist Abstract Painting. In a Custom Ebonized Walnut Gallery Frame. This piece will style beautifully in a wide array of spaces and settings, from Mid-Century Modernist to Contemporary and Minimal Interiors. In Excellent Vintage Condition. Signed in the lower right corner by the artist.

- Mid Century Modern Abstract Expressionist Gino Hollander Oil on Canvas PaintingBy Gino HollanderLocated in New York, NYThis sophisticated and large scale Mid Century Modern abstract expressionistic oil on canvas painting was realized by the esteemed 20th century visual artist and filmmaker Gino Hollander (1924-2015), in the United States in 1974. In dialogue with other canonized visualized artists of the period, most notably Joan Mitchell, this painting offers a dynamic composition in an understated and vibrant palette using a variety of painterly techniques. Executed in predominantly in grisaille and flaxen hues with ecru and amber accents, the composition features turpentine rivulets of running pigment; chunky blocks of paint rendered with a palette knife; and delicately applied brush strokes against a painted white background. The result is a captivatingly layered work that offers sustained visual pleasure and abundant visual discoveries. The solid white background adds negative space but also breath and depth to the composition. Full of verve and dynamism- and exhibiting masterful paint handling-, this painting embodies the qualities that discerning collectors of Abstract Expressionism (and modern art in general) absolutely adore. It would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Mid Century Modern to contemporary. It is signed and dated by the artist, and is in excellent vintage condition. The work comes presented in a custom black inked gallery frame. Gino Hollander was born in the New Jersey in 1924 and attended Rutgers University as well Hobart and William Smith College. He had two very different careers before he began painting – the first as part of the U.S. Army’s Mountain Division Ski Troop, and the second, an award-winning director and documentary filmmaker. Demonstrating his artistic versatility, Gino Hollander took up painting in 1960. From 1960 to 1962, Gino ran his first Hollander Gallery...Category
