    Framed oil on linen, ''Lower Rhine,'' by Carl Barth (German, 1896-1976), signed ''Barth'' lower left, bears Hearst Art Gallery, Moraga, California label verso, overall: 26''h x 30''w. Provenance: Deaccession of Hearst Art Gallery, St. Mary's College, Moraga, California Carl Barth was a German visual artist who was born in 1896. Carl Barth has had several gallery and museum exhibitions, including at the Galerie Remmert und Barth. Many works by the artist have been sold at auction, including 'Mythos' sold at Ketterer Kunst Munich 'Old Masters & Modern Art/ Marine Art ' in 2003. There have been many articles about Carl Barth, including 'Getty Brings Together Over 40 Drawings Selected Solo Exhibitions 2017 Carl Barth: Works 1920 - 1970, Galerie Remmert und Barth, Germany, Düsseldorf Selected Group Exhibitions 2016 Overview 2016, Galerie Remmert und Barth, Germany, Düsseldorf 2014 Überblick 2014, Galerie Remmert und Barth, Germany, Düsseldorf Watercolors: Emil Nolde to Otto Dix and Beyond, Galerie Remmert und Barth, Germany, Düsseldorf 2011 Spirit of an Age: Drawings from the Germanic World, 1770–1900, J.

After late-Expressionist beginnings in the 20s, he created in the early 30s, probably the most-respected part of his work, those strictly built, color-sparing tempera images that are the New Objectivity and the Magic Realism assigned, Barth's paintings of the early 1930s seem to express the loneliness of man in the face of a colder and more threatening social situation. The constructivist rigor of these works is transformed in the American paintings of 1936 into a more painterly style with a richer modeling of the subject matter, without abandoning the theme: the images reflect the loneliness and emptiness of the not only American "way of life" - they became repeatedly compared to works by Edward Hopper. Select Exhibitions: 1925 First exhibition of watercolors and printmaking in Munich. Return to the Rhineland. Initially own studio in his parents' house in Haan. In the fall admission to study at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. 1926 Exhibition with the group "The New West". 1927 First study trip to southern France (via Paris and Chartres).

  • Park Spring (Impressionistic Figurative Painting of Figures in a Park Landscape)
    By William Clutz
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Modern impressionist style figurative painting of a family in a colorful park landscape “Park Spring” painted by William Clutz in 1996 60 x 50 inches in a natural wood floater frame Wire backing, signed lower right This figurative oil on canvas painting was made in 1996 by William Clutz as part of a series of works called "Crossings". These paintings were a study of NYC dwellers engaging in the simple, daily activity of crossing the street. In this piece, Clutz captures a joyful moment of a mother and father walking in a sunlit park landscape with their young child. Bright sunlight radiates through lush fall foliage and fills the scene with a soft orange light. With broad, expressionistic brushstrokes, he discovers the extraordinary in the ordinary, by emphasizing the effects of sunlight on the human form. The painting is in excellent condition and is framed in a natural wood floater frame. More about the artist: In New York in the early 50's and 60's, abstract expressionism was the orthodox approach to art at the time. However, Clutz was committed to his personal style that focused on abstracted human figures within urban tableaux. Working in a context of artists who challenged abstract expressionism's popularity in New York, Clutz established himself as a significant proponent of abstract figuration. His paintings focus on human figures within the urban environment, often exposing the transfiguration of his subjects as they travel through the complex light of city streets or summer parks, as shown in two of his early works. Clutz's interest in working from direct observation of urban life was influenced by a long-standing interest in German Expressionism, as well as artists like Henri Matisse, Arshile Gorky, and Nicholas De Stael...
