Alberto Mijangos
Mixed media Painting -- Sages Series

C. 2004

About the Item

This mixed-media painting is complex and richly textured. As part of the Sages series, this painting features a Sage in the middle of the pictorial space. The rest of the space portrays different dark and luminescent images. The artist marks many of the quadrants with white chalk; in some, he may have used encaustic to achieve a high degree of brilliance. In the bottom right hand, the artist has affixed a collaged canvas to the already rich painted board. As commonly found with Mijangos pieces, it is not signed, however the pewter colored frame was hand picked by the artist himself. Born in Mexico City, Alberto Mijangos studied in the 1940's at San Carlos Art Academy and the School of the Chicago Art Institute. Mijangos belonged to the generation that came after Rivera and Siqueiros; he knew Tamayo whose influence he felt as a young painter. Mijangos matured as an artist in San Antonio, Texas, and considered himself both Mexican and American. His work, abstract with decidedly figurative elements, is that of a master artist.

    Will Cotton Untitled abstraction, ca. 1989 Mixed media painting on board Signed by the artist on lower right front Elegant recessed hand made frame Included with artist's original plexiglass bearing his markings on it Stunning, rare early signed abstract work on board by renowned artist Will Cotton in delicious candy-like pastel colors. Floated and framed in a white wood shadow box frame with the artist's original painted plexiglass. Measurements: Framed: 26 x 20 x 2.75 inches Artwork: 23.5 x 17 inches More about Will Cotton Will Cotton (born 1965 in Melrose, Massachusetts, U.S.A.) is an American painter whose work primarily features landscapes composed of sweets, often inhabited by human subjects. Will Cotton lives and works in New York City. Cotton’s works from the 1990s depicted pop icons sourced from contemporary advertisements such as the Nestlé Nesquik bunny. Cotton described his early works in a 2008 interview, saying “My initial impulse to make these paintings really came out of an awareness of the commercial consumer landscape that we live in. Every day we’re bombarded with hundreds, if not thousands of messages designed specifically to incite desire within us.” In 1996, Cotton began to develop an iconography in which the landscape itself became an object of desire. The paintings often feature scenery made up entirely of pastries, candy and melting ice cream. He creates elaborate maquettes of these settings from real baked goods made in his Manhattan studio as a visual source for the final works. Since about 2002, nude or nearly nude pinup...

  • Stone Quarry, 1960s Abstract Acrylic Paper Collage by Margo Hoff, Purple Gray
    By Margo Hoff
    Located in Denver, CO
    An original signed framed abstract expressionist painting by mid-century modern Chicago woman artist, Margo Hoff (1910-2008), "Stone Quarry" was created using acrylic, crayon and paper collage on board in shades of purple, blue, brown, white and black. Presented in a custom frame, outer dimensions measure 48 ½ x 40 ½ x 1 ¾ inches. Image size is 48 x 40 inches. Provenance: Estate of the artist, Margo Hoff About the Artist: A prolific artist, Margo Hoff’s exquisite style evolved throughout her career yet was always rooted in the events, people, and places in her life. The human experience was her soul focus, expressed through her eyes alone. Born in 1910 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Hoff began creating white-clay animals at a young age, giving them to her friends and family. At eleven she contracted typhoid fever and was bedridden for a summer. During her convalescence, she drew and made cutouts, and it was during this time that her bold, artistic imagination came alive. She began formal art training in high school and continued her education at the University of Oklahoma, Tulsa. In 1933 she moved to Chicago and attended the National Academy of Art and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Between 1933 and 1960—her Chicago years—Hoff’s works was deeply rooted in a figurative, regionalist style. She often used elements of magical realism, and many of her paintings have dreamlike qualities. As a child she learned about color by grinding down rocks, plants, and berries. Her color pallet during the Chicago years is indicative of her early-life color experimentation as she consistently used warm, earth tones in her work. Hoff was a born adventurer and traveled extensively. She lived, worked, taught, and painted in Europe, Mexico, Beirut, Lebanon, Uganda, Brazil, and China. She also showed at the Denver Art Museum’s Annual Western Exhibitions in 1952-54, 56, and 57. In 1957 she showed along side Colorado modernist Vance Kirkland at the Denver Art Museum’s exhibition, Man's Conquest of Space. What was once a focus on the representational, her work began to change after 1957 when she saw Sputnik in its orbit around Earth. At that moment, feet firmly placed on the ground, she was able to imagine herself in space, looking down from the cosmos, and what she saw was an abstracted world. She then had the opportunity to peer into an electron microscope where once again she was looking down into what seemed to be a realm of pure abstraction. These two events profoundly changed her perspective and she began to move from figural painting to abstract, geometric collage. In 1960, Hoff moved to New York City and she began creating collages. Placing the canvas on the ground, and working from all sides, she used strips of painted paper and tissue—and later painted pieces of canvas—glued onto the canvas surface, building layer upon layer, shape against shape, “action of color next to stillness of color.” She believed these simplified, abstracted forms held the spirit of the subject in the same way poetry reduces words to their essence. These pieces range from aerial cityscapes, to dancers in motions, to flora...
