About the Item
African American Artist Alvin Hollingsworth creates a mixed-media abstract painting/collage that abounds with inventiveness and creativity. Large sections of the work are composed of thin pieces of slate that are glued onto a wood panel support. Flat rocks are added and positioned on the iron-red ground. Found elements such as a bottle cap, typographer's numbers, and remnants of the white press type are also included. it's 1971 and the artist is doing a semi-type painting - a theme today's contemporary artists are running with. Finally, Hollingsworth etches a portrait of a man in a thin line on one of the slates. Guggenheim 1971 and his name are also inscribed into the rock. The work takes on a different character as the light changes and reflects off the stones and due to it's 3 dimensional quality the work is as much an object as an image..
Exhibited: New York, Lee Nordness Galleries, circa the 1960s. Lee Nordness Galleries label on verso.

Landscape Abstraction - Mid-Century - Twenty Paintings in One
Located in Miami, FL
When it comes to abstract painting, the creation date is important. At the height of Abstraction Expressionism, overlooked Academic Artist John Atherton created a wonderfully complex painting that embodies many of the characteristics of what was going on in Mid-Century American Art. The work is simultaneously abstract as it is representational. Like a Bento Box, it's divided into sections by dividers. On close inspection, each section stands on it's own as a beautiful mini-painting yet coalesces as part of the whole. From a distance, it is eye-pleasing, but as the view gets closer and closer, new structures and details gloriously reveal themselves. This is an important painting and not unlike the work of Joaquín Torres-García. It was done in the last year of the artist's life. Signed lower right. Canvas is relined. Framed size: 30 x 41.25. The work is best viewed with top gallery lights to bring out color.
Color will look different under different lighting conditions. Atherton exhibited at the famous Julien Levy Gallery in New York and his fine art is mainly associated with Magic Realism. He participated in the seminal 1943 Museum of Modern Art exhibition, American Realists and Magic Realists. The Museum of Modern Art has 4 Atherton paintings in its collection. As an Illustrator, Atherton did covers for the Saturday Evening Post, Fortune and Holiday Magazine...
