About the Item

Tooth (from Bone Drawings series) 1994 charcoal drawing on paper 11 x 14 inches Charcoal study of abstract teeth (perfect for a dentist office!) Erica Prudhomme learned some of the basics from her artist father and his brother, Charles and Paul Child. She studied at the Art Students’ League, and with Anna Walinska and Leigh Hyams. Erica Child Prudhomme work focuses on botanical studies and other details of nature during the annual cycle of earth around sun. She has been captivated by the symmetry and grace of natural forms, both living and dying, by nature?s repetitive patterns (wood grains, fish scales, waves), and by seasonal changes. Her close portraits describe moments in time: spring and summer, when the energy of growth is almost electrical; autumn's fading light and brilliant leaves; and winter, akin to sleep when the world returns to its essential architecture. She worked as an architectural draftsman in Philadelphia, an exhibition designer at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, and as an art teacher at West Side Montessori School. She has shown at the New Arts Gallery, Washington Arts Association, and Yale’s Sterling Library in CT; the Attleboro Arts Museum, the Berkshire Museum, the Geoffrey Young Gallery, the Norman Rockwell Museum and the Sheffield Museum in MA; and the Penobscot Marine Museum in ME.

Modern Figurative Surrealism Watercolor Painting, Drawing California Artist
By Gary Hansmann
Located in Surfside, FL
"The Sadness of Mr. lapin After the Artist Left" Gary Hansmann (1947-2008) was active/lived in California. He is known for abstract, Surrealism figure painting. Gary William Hansmann was born Dec. 4, 1940, in San Diego to Ethel May Williams and Lester Hughes Hansmann. He grew up in Encinitas and served in the Army in the early 1960s. Gary Hansmann, San Diego artist, teacher and gallery owner, was known for his Surrealist nude and animal drawings and graphics. He spent time working in Paris and exhibiting his art throughout Europe, but San Diego was home until he moved to Washington state. His life partner was fellow artist, Jill Hosmer. Mr. Hansmann, a respected printmaker and prolific artist, created thousands of drawings, prints and paintings as well as hundreds of poems. His interest in bullfighting led to a book of poetry and illustrations on the subject, “La Corrida, The Run”, a collection of poetry & artwork written as he was preparing for his first bullfight. Prologue written by famous Mexican Matador Antonio Lomelin. The book is written in English and translated into Spanish on opposing pages and was published in 1983. Mr. Hansmann taught intaglio and monotype at the Academy of Fine Arts in San Diego from 1977 to 1980 and at the San Diego Museum of Art in 1980. He also gave lectures and demonstrations throughout the art community, including at the San Diego Art Guild in Del Mar and Artist Equity in San Diego. Although he attended Palomar College in San Marcos and studied lithography at the San Diego Academy of Fine Arts, Mr. Hansmann was mostly self-taught and self-educated. Mr. Hansmann had shows in several art-world capitals, including Paris; Lisbon, Portugal; Cologne, Germany; Brussels, Belgium; and New York. he had one-person exhibits at the Loft Gallery in Clarkston, the Lewis-Clark State College Center of Arts & History, the Carnegie Art Center in Walla Walla and the Valley Art Center in Clarkston. During his long, distinguished career as an artist he had numerous one-person exhibits all over the world and the United States. His group shows are too numerous to mention, but his one-person exhibits were in Koln, Germany; Bruxelles, Belgium; Paris, France; Viana do Castelo, Portugal; Lisbon, Portugal; Tecate, Mexico; and British Columbia, Canada; and many states at home.
