About the Item
Henry Elinson 1935-2010 (Russia, 20th century) original abstract pastel, circa 1990
Superb original pastel painting by noted Russian artist Henry Elinson.
An abstract masterpiece with touches of cubism. This is an extraordinary large scale pastel.
Approximate dimensions 50" x 38". The frame is approximately 51.5" x 38.5".
The frame is included as added support only. A contemporary frame would give this remarkable painting a new life!
Elinson was born in 1935 in St. Petersburg, Russia. He studied philosophy, but by the 1960s had become consumed with art. He became a key member of the first unofficial, nonconformist art circles and Avant Garde exhibitions of the Soviet underground and was questioned and blacklisted by the KGB. No longer able to exhibit his work, he immigrated to USA in 1973. He worked at Yale University and taught Russian for many years at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California. All the while, he worked relentlessly as an artist, pursuing his unique, uncompromising vision.
Henry Elinson is considered an important figure in the Russian Avant Garde movement.

- Untitled Geometric Abstraction Minimalist painting unique signed renowned artistBy Winston RoethLocated in New York, NYAn exquisite work of geometric abstraction by this celebrated artist Winston Roeth Untitled, ca. 1996 Pastel on handmade paper Hand signed on the front Frame included: Floated and framed in the original wood frame with uv plexiglass Measurements: Framed: 13.5"h x 12.75"w Artwork: 10"h x 9"w More about Winston Roeth: At first glance Roeth’s painted panels of wood or slate appear very simple: flat planes of colour that look a certain way, but which shift in the changing light or as you move around them. They are exquisitely painted in layers of velvety pigment and reveal their secrets slowly: quiet combinations that play gentle tricks on the eye - simultaneously drawing the viewer into dense voids and bouncing the gaze back with a vibrant intensity. Roeth’s compositions are distilled to this apparent simplicity through the most minimal ingredients. Sometimes a picture is divided into grids, a geometric harmony of lines and colours, so that the matt expanse of paint is broken up by shimmeringly luminous lines in a perfect balance of light, depth and colour. Others combine planes of a single colour with a contradictory border: an edge on which the picture turns. In a world so accustomed to instant gratification Winston Roeth’s paintings require and reward an unusual level of contemplation. Roeth is based in Beacon, New York...Category
