About the Item
This abstract landscape painting by Pat Berger is an intense artwork, with its dramatically textured brushstrokes and a powerful and dynamic sense of movement. Deep green trees appear to be surrounded by the flames of a raging wildfire, conjuring up imagery reminiscent of California's devastating blazes.
By cleverly manipulating light, shadows, and colors, Pat Berger gives this scene a palpable sense of three-dimensionality—as if it were popping off the canvas.
Pat Berger is an acclaimed painter who has captivated and provoked audiences with her remarkable works. Born in New York in 1929, her pieces have been featured in many galleries and museums, each providing a unique outlook on life. Through her latest collection of trees and branches - including the one we present today - Pat Berger has managed to connect a powerful emotion between nature and human life.
Pat Berger’s career spans several decades of painting that alternate between figures and landscape and are an examination of the natural landscape and social narratives.
Her lifelong interest in people’s lives took her to crowded beaches, parks, and boardwalks where she began recording such scenes. Berger emphasized the need to, “…create a mood or psychological element to involve the viewer”, which was carried out in her acclaimed series on the homeless, surveying homeless life in the United States. In addition to her involvement with figures, Berger’s works of desert landscapes, wild plants, and cacti re-emphasize her central concerns with nature and beauty.
She has been the subject of recent solo shows including the Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum, Santa Barbara, and the University of Judaism, Los Angeles, and has been the recipient of the fellowship for The Julia and David White Art Colony, Costa Rica, a National Watercolor Society Purchase Award and a California Community Foundation, Brody Arts Fund Fellowship Award. Her work was featured in the documentary video, “Not In My Neighborhood” produced by Iraj Shadaram, and “Trouble in Paradise” a documentary film by Gary Glazer. Berger’s work is featured in numerous public collections including the San Diego Museum of Art, the Long Beach Museum of Art, the Skirball Museum, and the Palm Springs Desert Museum.

- "The Bridge over the Seine Near Argenteuil" Oil Reproduction after Claude MonetBy (after) Claude MonetLocated in Pasadena, CAThis framed reproduction of Claude Monet's immensely popular painting, “The Bridge Over The Seine Near Argenteuil,” comes with a certificate of authenticity on the back and is numbered 1102, making it interesting for several reasons. The artagraphic process used to produce this work in a limited edition of 2900 is considered the state-of-the-art in art reproduction and the most respectful approach to reproducing a painting by a master. In three steps, this technique creates a 3D replica of an original oil painting's color and surface texture. Colors are scanned with a digital laser and then printed separately using oil-based inks on a single sheet. A mold is created from the original painting to reproduce its surface texture and bas-relief brushstrokes. Unlike lithographs and serigraphs, there is a palpable material and relief if you run your fingers over the surface. At the Impressionist group's first exhibition in 1874, Claude Monet demonstrated his deep interest in the motif by working on seven depictions of the Argenteuil bridge and four of the railroad bridge upstream. The artwork depicts Monet's immediate impressions of the scene rather than offering detailed realism. In these series, moored sailboats occupy the foreground, while the fluidity of the river melts harmoniously with the geometrically contrasted presence of the bridge and its imposing pillars. Monet manipulates his palette and complementary color schemes to create the illusion of light and movement through small, separate, and visible brushstrokes, making it one of the artist's most recognizable signatures. The painting displays a diversity of styles, with some elements more solid, having strong and distinct lines and structured forms defined by firm contours, while the water and the sky in the background give off an impression of moving space, floating, and ripples. An original painting of the series can be seen at Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France...Category
