Zoa Ace
1980's Figurative -- David Bowie, Iman and Friends

1981

About the Item

Color, music, fashion, fame, fishnet stockings, sports, the party scene and allegory - elements of the 1980s - all are captured in this pastel image by Denver artist Zoa Ace (American, 20th century). Signed and dated by the artist, lower right corner. Presented in a rustic, distressed, vintage wood frame. Image, 31.69"H x 21.44"W. Influenced by Max Beckman; Max Beckmann was a German painter, draftsman, print maker, sculptor, and writer. Although he is classified as an Expressionist artist, he rejected both the term and the movement. Zoa's images are subconsciously manifested into a juxtaposition of themes and figures in motion.

  • Craig (Richard's Friend - Sitting - Blue Jacket), Mixed media on grey parchment
    By Howard Tangye
    Located in London, GB
    Howard Tangye (b.1948, Australia) has been an influential force in fashion for decades. Lecturing at London’s Central Saint Martins for 35 years, including 16 years as head of BA Womenswear. There, he tutored many contemporary greats, including John Galliano, Stella McCartney, Christopher Kane, Wes Gordon, Zac Posen and Hussein Chalayan. Examples of Tangye’s portraits are held in many important collections, both public and private, including the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), Harvard University and London’s National Portrait Gallery. Throughout his teaching career Tangye quietly developed a particularly idiosyncratic art practice. By employing a decisive line with bold applications of richly layered materials, Tangye explores the nuances of the human form in an effort to expose his subjects’ true essence and energy. — Howard Tangye Craig (Richard's Friend - Sitting - Blue Jacket), 2012 Mixed media on grey...
