Jorge Alzaga
Mixed Media Piece by Mexican Artist "Untitled"

c. 1980s

About the Item

This portrait of a woman in a green blouse shows Jorge Alzaga's beautiful skill with pastels. The way Alzaga used pastel adds a certain kind of softness to the portrait while still allowing individual markings to show through. This also creates an effect of the woman almost having a soft glow that permeates outside of the portrait itself. Jorge Alzaga was born in Jalisco in 1938 and had his first exhibition in 1953. His is best known for working with oil paints as well as pastels, with his popular subjects being landscapes and portraits. Alzaga was exhibited his work on an international level including Mexico, USA, and Israel. Alzaga died in 2010. He is a desirable artist, whose work is still greatly appreciated and collected.

  • Francesco (Blue Trousers), Mixed media on Pergamenata parchment
    By Howard Tangye
    Located in London, GB
    Howard Tangye (b.1948, Australia) has been an influential force in fashion for decades. Lecturing at London’s Central Saint Martins for 35 years, including 16 years as head of BA Womenswear. There, he tutored many contemporary greats, including John Galliano, Stella McCartney, Christopher Kane, Wes Gordon, Zac Posen and Hussein Chalayan. Examples of Tangye’s portraits are held in many important collections, both public and private, including the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), Harvard University and London’s National Portrait Gallery. Throughout his teaching career Tangye quietly developed a particularly idiosyncratic art practice. By employing a decisive line with bold applications of richly layered materials, Tangye explores the nuances of the human form in an effort to expose his subjects’ true essence and energy. — Howard Tangye Francesco (Blue Trousers...
