About the Item

Remains (Body in the Field 18), 2022 oil on paper (signed on reverse) 16 17/32 H x 11 13/16 W in. 42 H x 30 W cm Zsolt Berszán embodies in his works the dissolution of the human body through the prism of the fragment, the body in pieces, and the skeletal carcass. It is the bone that contains within itself a silent past suggesting links to an unimagined future. The bone gives meaning to the transcendence of space and time. His mutilated bodies are outside an individual memory and are the remains of anonymous, collective bodies not linked to the memory of a specific person or experience. His landscapes are populated by decomposing bodies, human remains and carcasses, bodies in pieces. The subject is the human body abandoned in the field, which reflects the seemingly contradictory idea of being present through the duality of presence-absence. However, everything describes a disintegration and disappearance into nothingness. The ephemerality of the body is depicted by a series of contortions, eviscerations, and decompositions that create a macabre game in a background immersed in solar plenitude. The vividness of the colours may refer to the hope of reintegration into nature, of fusion and rebirth. Thus, from this perspective, the body trace becomes a metaphor for life and memory.

Mid Century Textural Color-Field Abstract in Royal Blue-Purple by Peter Witwer
By Peter Witwer
Located in Soquel, CA
Mid Century Textural Color-Field Abstract in Royal Blue-Purple by Peter Witwer A striking mid-century textural color-field abstract in a bold color palette of royal blue-purple by San Francisco artist Peter Witwer (American, 1928-1968). This highly textured mixed media piece, c.1960's, uses a monochromatic palette that is divided into two areas of varying textural depths. The lower part of the canvas verges on sculptural, as the textured surface becomes almost three-dimensional and haunting forms emerge from the abstract purple-blue plane. Unsigned. From a collection of the artist's works. Displayed in a painted wood slate frame. Frame has been painted by the artist and is considered part of the artwork. Linen size: 26"H x 22"W. Framed size: 27"H x 23"W x 1.2"D Unsigned, but was acquired with a collection of the artist's work. Provenance: Without a will and a family that had little interest in his art, nearly all of his possessions and close to 100 paintings were turned over to SF’s Conservators Office. His friend, Albert Richard Lasker, purchased all of Peter’s possessions (including the art) and has taken care of them until this day, always sensing there was something remarkable about the collection. Wanting Peter’s work to finally be seen, Richard came to Lost Art Salon with Peter’s story after reading about the new gallery in a July, 2005 issue of the SF Chronicle. Born George Peter...
