Rooftops (Framed 1970's New York Cityscape Landscape Drawing by William Clutz)

By William Clutz

Located in Hudson, NY

Abstracted New York City landscape drawing of urban rooftops and tree tops "Rooftops", created by William Clutz in 1977 30 x 20 inches, charcoal and pastel on paper 33 x 25 inches in light wood frame This framed pastel on paper was made in 1977 by William Clutz. It features an abstracted depiction of New York City rooftops as seen from a high window. Of particular note is the artist's technique with pastel; a wonderful texture and motion is created by closely woven striated lines. Sunlight reflects off brown rooftops and peaking green tree tops. The charcoal and pastel drawing is framed in a natural light wood frame with non-reflective glass and wire backing for installation. About the Artist: Renowned as the “impressionist of the contemporary metropolis”, William Clutz uses the city, in its entirety, as his subject. Pedestrians crossing streets become stars of the stage; the hustle and bustle of traffic and surrounding buildings are the chorus; each play their part in the overall composition. Lighting and color shift this observation of the everyday into a remarkable wonder. “It is surely Clutz”, wrote Gerrit Henry in Art News, 1979, “an artist who has rejected the niceties of representation in favor of the quintessence.” The young artist moved to New York City in 1955 and just four years later had his first solo exhibit at the Condon Riley Gallery. Clutz went on to show in major uptown galleries such as David Herbert, where, notably in 1962 he received a NYTimes review titled, Return of the Figure. That same year, his role in the revival of figuration was further solidified with inclusion in the MoMA group show, Recent Painting USA, The Figure. This was a pivotal turning point from which emerged a 50-year exhibiting career.

PEDRO J. LEMOS (American, 1882-1954) FOOTBALL STATUE THROUGH THE TREES - UC BERKELEY 1921 - THE ORIGINAL YEARBOOK PASTEL Pastel drawing on colored paper 12 5/8 x 9 5/8 inches. Full signature in pastel, Pedro J Lemos. In good condition. A few bits of old tape at the corners, verso. THE 1921 UC BERKELEY YEARBOOK CONTAINED SEVERAL LEMOS PASTEL REPRODUCTIONS. Pedro de Lemos was an important proponent of the Arts and Crafts Movement. He produced some of the finest color woodcuts of the period as well as fine pastels, paintings and architecture. He was also an instructor and director of the Stanford University Art Department, From Wikipedia: Pedro Joseph de Lemos (25 May 1882 – 5 December 1954) was an American painter, printmaker, architect, illustrator, writer, lecturer, museum director and art educator in the San Francisco Bay Area. Prior to about 1930 he used the simpler name Pedro Lemos or Pedro J. Lemos; between 1931 and 1933 he changed the family name to de Lemos, believing that he was related to the Count de Lemos (1576–1622), patron of Miguel de Cervantes. Much of his work was influenced by traditional Japanese woodblock printing and the Arts and Crafts Movement. He became prominent in the field of art education, and he designed several unusual buildings in Palo Alto and Carmel-by-the-Sea, California..... In 1911 he began teaching decorative design at the San Francisco Institute of Art.[8] In late 1912 he was one of the founders the California Society of Etchers, and the following year he started offering the Institute's first classes in printmaking. Some of his students, such as William S. Rice and John W. Winkler (1894-1979), went on to achieve significant fame as printmakers. He helped organize the California print...

In the Village, Gouache on Paper, Pink & Red color by Gobardhan Ash "In Stock"

In the Village, Gouache on Paper, Pink & Red color by Gobardhan Ash "In Stock"

By Gobardhan Ash

Located in Kolkata, West Bengal

Gobardhan Ash - Untitled - Gouache on Paper 10 x 15 inches (unframed size) Style : Regarded as a pioneer of modern Indian art, Ash’s contribution at the time when India witnessed the advent of Western modernism is significant and colossal. His work was exploratory, visionary and inspiring. He printed with bold courage and a free spirit, never yielding to the rules set by official art. He rejected the preconceived notions of how an artist ought to render his subjects and inevitably rebelled against the academic rules “ If we look at nature in the open, we do not see individual objects each with its own colors but rather a bright medley of tints which blend in our eyes, in our minds.” – Gobardhan Ash (The Statesman, April 24, 1994). His verbal imagery alluded to what was real and relevant in India yet transcended to communicate a deeper, universal message about the human spirit. Disillusioned with the limits and constraints he faced, Ash withdrew into his private introspective world to explore his own mode of artistic expression. And although it was the convention then to paint divinities or exotic female figures on their way to the temple, Ash embarked on a new approach altogether to paint farmers toiling in the fields, workers engaged in intense labor to earn their living, thereby setting a new trend of socio-realistic art in India. In 1945, Ash was brought into the public eye when the progressive writers Association discovered his series of paintings on the Bengal famine. The paintings depict, if not document, the ravages of the 1943 catastrophe. In juxtaposition to the famine series, his impressionist and post impressionist gouaches during the late 40s come as an interesting antithesis. Colors, rich and vibrant, come alive in a pulsating tone to dominate the entire painting. Ash never subscribed to a stringent artistic form or technique. Rather, his works from the 80s display yet another intriguing and jarringly different style in his treatment of portraiture. His colors, with the exception of the apparent outlines, are reduced to smudges and smears so that the painting appear to originate from stained canvas. His subjects, spectral figures that engage and draw us within their profound state of despair and helplessness. To characterize the life works of Gobardhan Ash is to recognize the complexity and spontaneity of his ideas and the enormous richness of his style. An artist who devoted his entire life to art, his paintings have transited and evolved from monochromatic sketches and landscape to portraiture; from naturalistic real-life depictions to abstract expressionism. Whatever the genre style-Ash has demonstrated an eloquent mastery over the diverse style, techniques and medias employed, as evident in the vast retrospective collection. His paintings are conceptual and purposeful, displaying a unique individuality. His art expounds a frank desire to convey the value of uncompromising artistic sincerity. Gobardhan Ash remains today a prolific artist of his time. About the Artist & his works : Born : Regarded as a pioneer of modern Indian art, Gobardhan Ash (1907-1996) was born at the village of Begampur in Hoogly district of West Bengal.. Family : His father was Haricharan Ash and mother Gouri Devi. He spent all his life in this village and died here in 1996 at the matured age...

Frank Reaugh (1860-1945) Dallas Artist Image Size: 3 3/4 x 5 1/2 Frame Size: 15 x 18 Medium: Pastel on paperboard Circa 1881 "Residence At Terrell" From the collection of Lucretia Coke. Signed F.R. Lower Left & S7 On Verso 1881 or 2, 2 or 3 miles from next house. Frank Reaugh (1860-1945) Charles Franklin Reaugh. THE FRANK REAUGH GALLERY AT THE PANHANDLE-PLAINS HISTORICAL MUSEUM by Michael R. Grauer, Curator of Art, Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum Called the pejorative "Rembrandt of the Longhorn" and "Longhorn Leonardo," and the gentler "Painter to the Longhorns," Charles Franklin "Frank" Reaugh was a master pastellist unparalleled in Texas and the greater Southwest. While he advertised himself as a "landscape and cattle painter" and insisted he was the historian of the Texas longhorn, he has effectively, and unfortunately, pigeonholed his art. More appropriately, Frank Reaugh is often called the "Dean of Texas Painters." His name is synonymous with the "old guard" of Texas art history, along with Robert Onderdonk, Hermann Lungkwitz, William Henry Huddle, Henry McArdle, and others. Reaugh's paintings focused on the landscape of the American West generally, and the American Southwest, specifically. He captured subtleties in a land of high contrast where others only saw the rawness. He painted the overwhelmingly blue sky, the illimitable plains, and the great gashes in the land that are called canyons, arroyos, or breaks in the West. And he painted the Texas longhorn, or Texas cattle, as he referred to them. Usually no more important than the mesquite, yucca, sagebrush, and cholla that also populate his compositions of the Western landscape, the Texas longhorn became his recognized symbol. Today, some commercial galleries even insist that one of his works is more valuable if it has a cow in it! These commercial zealots in their search for a longhorn often overlook the beauty of his landscapes; they cannot see the landscape for the longhorns. Born near Jacksonville, Illinois in 1860, Reaugh first came to Texas in a wagon in 1876 at the age of fifteen. He moved with his parents to a farm near Terrell, Texas, until 1890 when they moved to Dallas and settled in what is now the Oak Cliff area. Reaugh had no formal education but fared well without it for his mother, Clarinda Reaugh, was his teacher in all things. The daughter of a Presbyterian minister, his mother instilled in her only child an appreciation of nature, grounded in her own readings in zoology, botany, and natural history. Her teachings were infused with the philosophies of the famed Swiss zoologist Louis Agassiz and John Burroughs, supporter and contemporary of Walt Whitman, who wrote extensively on his symbiotic relationship with nature. Clarinda Reaugh also encouraged her son's interest in drawing through her own interest in the fine arts. Reaugh's father, George Washington Reaugh, was a mechanic, carpenter, cabinetmaker, and farmer, who had participated in the Gold Rush of 1849. It was from his father that Reaugh learned to be extremely adept with his hands, and later made his own picture frames and patented several inventions. George Reaugh's sense of adventure may have spurred his son's annual trips to West Texas and beyond, which began in the early 1880s. Reaugh's first exposure to art came through reproductions in popular magazines such as Harper's, Scribner's, and Century Illustrated. Rosa Bonheur's Horsefair, the Dutch painter Paulus Potter's Young Bull, and the landscapes of Frederic Edwin Church and J. M. W. Turner were favorites of his. (In fact, his late works are often especially reminiscent of Church and Turner.) From these early reproductions in black and white, Reaugh learned well the lessons of value and composition. While he studied and copied magazine reproductions, Reaugh also became interested in bovine anatomy. Using a "two-bit" book on cattle and sheep anatomy as his text, the young artist collected bones near the Reaugh farm and made measurements from family livestock. He supplemented his scientific studies with sketches made from longhorn cattle brought up from South Texas to fatten on grass nearby. In the early 1880s, Reaugh met two cattlemen, Frank and Romeo Houston, who had interests throughout North Texas, and accompanied them on cattle drives and roundups near present-day Wichita Falls and in Indian Territory (now Oklahoma). His first documented trip to Western Texas came in 1883; probably near present day Wichita Falls and Henrietta, Texas. Reaugh made numerous sketches during these trips, often from the saddle, and later enlarged and composed them in the studio. His field sketches resulted in his first two pastel masterpieces, Watering the Herd (1889) and The One-O Roundup (1894). and his oil The Approaching Herd (1902). These trips with the Houstons, begun as early as 1883, spurred a wanderlust for West Texas that lured Reaugh until he was nearly eighty. Reaugh took his first formal art training at the Saint Louis Museum and School of Fine Arts during the winter of 1884-85. He spent most of his time there drawing from plaster casts of Greek, Roman, and Italian sculpture and possibly live models. Reaugh also met Halsey C. Ives, director of the school, who lectured on avant-garde art trends in Europe, particularly French Impressionism. Later, Ives was instrumental in the acceptance of Reaugh's work for display at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, held in Saint Louis in 1904. Following his studies at Saint Louis, Reaugh returned to Terrell and began teaching art to young ladies in the area. He supplemented his art classes with a stint at teaching public school, and by November 1888 had saved enough money for a trip to Europe. Upon arriving at Paris, Reaugh enrolled at the Academie Julian, a school very popular with international students, especially Americans. He drew and painted from the figure while at the Academie under Jules Lefebvre, John-Joseph Benjamin Constant, and Henri-Lucien Douciet, all members of the "juste milieu" in France. Reaugh studied at the Academie for half of each day then supplemented his formal instruction by making copies of or studying paintings in the Louvre and the Luxembourg Palace. Logically he was especially drawn to the pastels in what he later called the 'pastel room' in the Louvre. In his 1927 pamphlet, Pastel, Reaugh wrote of the pastel painters he saw in the gallery: "[John] Russell, of England, and [Maurice-Quentin de] La Tour, [Jean Etienne] Liotard, [Jean Simeon] Chardin, and [Madame Vigee] Le [sic] Brun. These were great painters. . .the work of all of them may be seen in the pastel room of the Louvre, as fresh and bright, apparently, as on the day it was done." In addition to the pastellists he mentioned, Reaugh also saw pastels in the Louvre by Rosalba Carriera, Francois Boucher, and Pierre Paul Prudhon. At the end of March 1889, Reaugh traveled through Belgium and Holland, studying paintings of the Flemish and Dutch schools, and particularly those of The Hague School, of which Anton Mauve was a part. He returned to Paris in time to see the Exposition Universelle, at which paintings by French Impressionists Cezanne, Manet, Monet, and Pissarro were exhibited. This may have been Reaugh's initial exposure to Impressionism. Reaugh returned to Texas at the end of May 1889. Between 1890 and 1915, Frank Reaugh enjoyed his greatest success as an artist. He exhibited works at two world's fairs: the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1893 and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904. He also exhibited at the prestigious National Academy of Design at New York, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts at Philadelphia, and the Art Institute of Chicago. Moreover, Reaugh became a member of the Society of Western Artists and exhibited with that group all over the United States. Finally, Reaugh toured his pastels with much success, especially in the upper Midwest. Simultaneously, Reaugh continued his trips to the West and, beginning in the 1890s, he started using a camera as a sketching tool. He photographed the landscape as well as cattle, and in 1893 photographed in Palo Duro Canyon; perhaps his first trip to the 'Grand Canyon of Texas'. After 1900, Reaugh turned his genius to inventing and patented several devices including a folding lap easel, a water pump, and a cooling mechanism for internal combustion engines, among other things. He also patented Reaugh Pastels, using a formula he developed and shaped into an octagonal-shape stick for easier gripping. Allegedly, either John Singer Sargent or William Merritt Chase used Reaugh Pastels. Reaugh also became more active in Dallas art and civic circles. After first offering private art lessons, he organized the Dallas School of Fine Arts in 1899. He urged Dallas to build the city's first art gallery in 1900, to which he donated a painting, and helped found the Dallas Art Association in 1903. Furthermore, Reaugh arranged the loan of paintings from then-contemporary American artists in the East and Midwest for the State Fair of Texas. An vocational naturalist, Reaugh also organized a popular nature study club in Dallas, members of which were young ladies who grew to be influential Dallas civic leaders. Nevertheless, despite his ground-level work to bring art to Dallas, as the Dallas Art Association grew Reaugh was pushed aside by socialites and his contributions forgotten. Around 1910 and possibly earlier, he began taking students with him on his trips West. Among them were Texas artists Edward G. Eisenlohr, Florence McClung, Lloyd Goff...
