Fritz Bultman (1919-1985) was an American Abstract Expressionist painter, sculptor, and collagist and a member of the New York School of artists. He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and moved to Germany to join the Bauhaus at the age of 16. There, he was acquainted with Maria Hofmann, the wife of Hans Hofmann, which initiated a move to New York to study under his guidance. Bultman set himself apart from other Abstract Expressionists with his meticulously organized abstract compositions, use of sculpture, and the adoption of collage as a core practice. In 1950, Fritz Bultman and 27 other distinguished artists signed a letter protesting the conservative nature of the work selected for a forthcoming national exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

'Blue Water Lilies' by New York City based, French artist Sandrine Kern. 2021. Oil and cold wax on canvas, 30 x 70 in. This abstracted landscape painting features a pond and water lily scene in deep colors of blue, white, pink, red, and black. Sandrine Kern's Water Lily Series is a joyful, gestural interpretation of a pond with water lilies. A separate and beloved series from previous works, the lyrical brush strokes and dramatic color palettes are more free and figurative. Kern's practice combines oil sticks, oil paint, and cold wax to create a creamy, rich surface with subtle textured layers to portray the large-scale, zoomed-in water scenes. Sandrine Kern was born in Paris, France where she received an MFA from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts. Her work has been shown nationally in solo shows at Madelyn Jordon Fine Art, OK Harris - New York, Thomas Paul Fine Art - Los Angeles, Gail Harvey Gallery - Santa Monica.
