Untitled (Modernist Three-Panel Screen)

1948

About the Item

Untitled (Modernist Three-Panel Screen), 1948, mixed media on paperboard mounted into a three-section screen, 58 x 45 inches, signed and dated on each panel upper right This work is part of our exhibition America Coast to Coast: Artists of the 1940s. Charles Malcolm Campbell (1905 - 1985) was an Ohio-born artist known for his highly individual modernist style which combined vibrant colors and unusual figure compositions. Campbell spent most of his childhood in Springfield, Ohio before moving with his family to Cleveland where he enrolled at the Cleveland Institute of Art. He was influenced by a variety of European artists from the Old Master El Greco to the social commentator Daumier and the avantgarde genius Picasso. Campbell received his art degree in 1928 after five years of training. After teaching at the Cleveland Institute of Art for a year, Campbell devoted his time to becoming a practicing artist. During the Great Depression, he worked on Federal public art projects, completing murals in Indiana, Ohio, and Texas. Campbell also entered easel paintings in major museum exhibitions during the 1930s, including at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Whitney Museum of American Art. In 1942, Campbell married and relocated to Los Angeles, where he remained for the next roughly ten years. He was fortunate during this period to make a living selling his work through galleries mostly located in California. While in Los Angeles, Campbell painted the present work which combines a riotous, saturated palette with modernist figures that would have been at home in the light-filled Mid Century Modern houses that burst onto the Southern California architectural scene in the immediate post-war period. Campbell moved to New Orleans in 1952 and opened his own gallery. Subsequently, he relocated to Phoenix where he continued to receive the support of a small, but dedicated group of collectors. Campbell’s work is in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the Cleveland Art Museum. He is listed in Who Was Who in American Art and all other standard references.

  • Donna Con Cavallo Errante - Original Figurative Cubist Painting on Canvas
    By Alessandro Siviglia
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    In his abstract figurative work, internationally collected artist Alessandro Siviglia deconstructs everyday objects, landscapes, and human subjects into colorful geometric shapes in an attempt to represent their three-dimensional nature on a two-dimensional medium without using a naturalistic one-point perspective or shading. This technique translates into a visual language of perceiving the world around us with new emotions. Siviglia's cubist expressionist scenes often include people and small stray animals, which are used to reflect his concept of relativity with amalgams of time and place. This one-of-a-kind 32-inch high by 24-inch wide mixed media composition on canvas is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. The artist signed this original artwork on the front as well as on the back. The sides are painted and it does not require framing. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping are available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Alessandro Siviglia was born in Salerno, Italy in 1982. He immersed himself in art from an early age. Siviglia was initially drawn to street art, where he was able to express his artistic interests by graffiti writing on large public spaces using the alias CROW. After a 15 year stretch of taking a bold, guerrilla approach to art Siviglia began to create works on canvas that combine his street art background with more traditional artistic conventions. Much of his transformative inspiration stemmed from regularly visiting the Filiberto Menna Art Institute in Salerno. His modernist artworks...
