Miniature Abstract Totem. Signed with initials. Provenance: Virginia Field, Arts administrator; New York, N.Y. Assistant director for Asia House gallery. (she was friends with John von Wicht and Andy Warhol) Born in 1897, Ben-Zion Weinman celebrated his European Jewish heritage in his visual works as a sculptor, painter, and printmaker. Influenced by Spinoza, Knut Hamsun, and Wladyslaw Reymont, as well as Hebrew literature, Ben-Zion wrote poetry and essays that, like his visual work, attempt to reveal the deep “connection between man and the divine, and between man and earth.” An emigrant from the Ukraine, he came to the US in 1920. He wrote fairy tales and poems in Hebrew under the name Benzion Weinman, but when he began painting he dropped his last name and hyphenated his first, saying an artist needed only one name. Ben-Zion was a founding member of “The Ten: An Independent Group” The Ten” a 1930’s avant-garde group, Painted on anything handy. Ben-Zion often used cabinet doors (panels) in his work. Other members of group included Ilya Bolotowsky, Lee Gatch, Adolf Gottlieb, Louis Harris, Yankel...

John Wood (b. 1945, Utah) is a Bay Area artist who currently resides in Emeryville, CA. He received his BFA in painting from the University of Utah in 1971, and an MFA from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1974. Wood’s abstract imagery is the culmination of his lifetime of work in art. His current work uses the human form as a starting point to build up layers of line, form and color in graphite, crayon, oil pastel and enamel. He strives to be as open and engaged as possible with the developing image, trusting that the art will lead him in the right direction. In the end, the work alludes to the human body symbolically, but Woods is much more interested in the emotional and sensual qualities that emerge rather than recognizable forms. In addition to producing his own art, Woods has inspired many through independent mural projects with children of all ages in Utah, New York, and California. He has taught at Cranbrook Academy Museum, through the NEA Artist-in-Education Program, as a private instructor for children’s art in New York and Salt Lake City, as a drawing and painting instructor at Farmington Community Center, and as head of the fine arts department at Judge Memorial Catholic High School in Salt Lake City. Woods has exhibited his work in solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States including Utah, New York, California, Colorado; and museums such as the Morris Graves Museum of Art, Marin Museum of Contemporary Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Utah Museum of Fine Art, Springville Museum of Art, and the Cranbrook Academy of Art Museum. His work can be found in public and private collections across the country such as American Express Company, Salt Lake City, UT, Amoco Production Company, Denver, CO, Bank of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT, Digital Equipment Corporation, Salt Lake City, UT, Judge Memorial High School, Salt Lake City, UT, McKay-Dee Hospital, Ogden, UT, Ray, Quinney & Nebeker, Salt Lake City, UT, Rich Passage Winery, Bainbridge Island, WA, St. Olaf’s Parish Church, Bountiful, UT, Saint Paul’s School, Clearwater, FL, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT, Valley Home Medical, Layton, UT, E M Warburg Pincus, New York, NY and Los Angeles, CA, and many more.

This Harry Beckhoff illustration is masterfully rendered and intricately designed in line and wash. It's as abstract as it's representational with its graphic style, clean lines, and flat patterning. Every element in the composition works in harmony without a line out of place. The flat and abstract nature of the work rivals that of the great modernist painters of the 1930s. Perhaps this was done for a major newsstand magazine like Collier's. Although he studied with Dean Cornwell and Harvey Dunn, he didn't pursue the style of painterly brushstrokes and impastos. Instead, he defined his forms with flat shapes, whose internal forms are defined by thin lines. The emphasis is more on silhouette and line than it is on texture and lighting. Beckhoff also described his work as having been influenced by illustrators like Pierre Brissaud...
