About the Item
This abstract pastel drawing by artist Amalua Schulthess features large light and dark blue blocks crossed by wide black lines. They are so wide that they could be easily mistaken for roads, like the pattern shaped by crossing highways in the western megalopolis. The artwork sits in a metal gold frame and is simply signed "amalia"
Amalia Schulthess grew up in Switzerland and studied at the State College Trogen, Appenzell Ausserrhoden, and the Kunstgewerbeschule, Zurich.
Paul Klee who was a friend of her father had been a key source of inspiration to Amalia; he encouraged her to express herself and commit to the pursuit of artmaking.
After World War II, she moved to New York where she met and became friends with Piet Mondrian encouraged her to paint and gave her many good ideas for exercises in painting that could prove helpful to her technique. At this time, she was primarily painting with oil, and drawing with pastels and color pencils.
In 1941 she moved to Los Angeles where until the 1960s, she focused on exhibiting her paintings in galleries and museums in California and New Mexico, an area she was drawn to because of the natural landscape and indigenous culture.
By the late 60s, she began exploring the three-dimensional medium after Andrew Dasburg suggested the abstract nature of her two-dimensional works might translate well to sculpture. Amalia’s sculptures are very much part of the avant-garde Modernist discourse. In an attempt to learn more, she divided her time between living in Los Angeles and Florence, Italy. She was involved in numerous shows in Taos and Santa Fe New Mexico, California (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, La Jolla, Long Beach), New York, Zurich, Switzerland, Italy, and France. Her sculptures reside in numerous countries and states including Texas.

Vibrant Gouache by Rupert Picott
Located in Pasadena, CA
This gouache reveals a butterfly tree with wings covered in multiple eyes towards the observer. In this primitive kaleidoscope playing with perspectives, the artist Rupert Picott leads us into a dance of forms, half-animal, half-vegetal. Here, we can breathe a nature distanced from civilization, a shattered, psychedelic dimension that opens the doors of a hallucinated perception.
This gouache transcends its physical form. Like a dream woven into reality, it beckons viewers to question the boundaries of their consciousness. Each brushstroke becomes a portal to a realm where the mundane and the mystical intertwine, blurring the lines between what is seen and felt. In this dialogue between forms and colors, Rupert Picott offers us not just a painting but a glimpse into the infinite expanse of the human experience, echoing William Blake’s timeless wisdom: ‘If the doors of perception...
