Label from Obelisk Gallery verso. Henry C. Pearson (October 8, 1914 – December 3, 2006) was an American abstract and modernist painter. Pearson was born in Kinston, North Carolina, graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1938, and studied theatrical design at Yale University. He served in the U.S. Army Air Corps in the Second World War, designing maps for the Okinawa campaign, and then re-enlisted to serve in the US occupation of Japan, where he was influenced by Japanese art and theatre forms. Henry Pearson is perhaps best known for a mildly optical manner of painting, featuring a mutable labyrinth of undulating parallel lines, which somewhat inadvertently linked him to the Op Art movement of the 1960s. Although included in the Museum of Modern Art's landmark exhibition The Responsive Eye in 1965, his work displays an intuitive rhythm and poetic elegance that falls well outside of the calculated, often hard-edged quality normally associated with the Op group of artists. Pearson came late to the visual arts. His first career, in theatre design, was cut short by the Second World War. He entered the U.S. Army in 1942, and at war's end requested duty in occupied Japan, where a prolonged contact with Japanese culture nurtured a passion for painting. Upon his discharge from the army, in 1953, he enrolled in the Art Students League in New York City, where he studied with, among others, Reginald Marsh and Will Barnet. Inspired by Malevich, he turned to rectilinear abstraction, and employed it as the dominant means of expression in his painting between 1954 and 1961. As early as 1959, however, sensing an incipient decadence in his geometric canvases...

"Transfiguration" is a captivating original abstract painting by the talented artist Pawel Kontny (also known as Paul Kontny), created during the mid-20th century. This unique composition was crafted using a combination of marble dust, gesso, and oil glaze on masonite, resulting in a striking raised texture that adds depth and dimension to the artwork. The use of marble dust and gesso gives the piece a rich, tactile quality, making it visually stunning. The painting is rendered in a harmonious palette of neutral tones, including shades of brown, beige, yellow, and grey, creating a subtle yet powerful interplay of light and shadow. These muted hues evoke a sense of calm and contemplation, allowing the viewer to immerse themselves in the abstract forms and textures that dominate the canvas. This piece is presented in its original black and gold frame, which enhances its vintage charm and complements the sophisticated color palette. "Transfiguration" is an exceptional work of art, perfect for collectors of mid-century abstract art...
