Dzemma Skulme
2001. paper, watercolor, 103x73 cm

2001

About the Item

2001. paper, watercolor, 103x73 cm Dzemma Skulme worked in oil, acrylic and water-colors. She developed the theme of the caryatid, wherein she endeavored to reveal the ethical and spiritual strength of a woman. She also turned to a rifleman theme, Latvian ethnography and the principles of folk art. In her paintings of the second half of 1960s her worldview became more dramatic and she has raised the expressiveness of her work by using large brush or even palette knife for color application. In the middle of 1950s she also became recognized for her book and magazine illustrations. During 1960s artist turns to author technique - combination of acrylic and oil color thus creating interesting textures. Her painting during this time has become more conceptual. She has worked as assistant decorator in Daile Theatre and Latvia Puppet Theatre (1945-1947).[5] The Latvian art historian Laima Slava is accentuating the line as the discovery of 1960s in Dzemma Skulme's creative work: “At first it is smooth and constructive and defines the shape of a character, then it becomes lighter and more transparent.”

  • Abstract Work on Paper Mid-Century Modernism Greek American Gouache Drawing
    By Jean Xceron
    Located in New York, NY
    Abstract Work on Paper Mid-Century Modernism Greek American Gouache Drawing. A modernist artist who emigrated to America from Greece in 1904, when he was fourteen years old, Jean Xceron is described as having a reputation as an artist that has mysteriously fallen into obscurity---especially since he was reportedly quite prominent during his lifetime. However, a partial explanation of that omission is the fact that many of his papers and early records have been lost. He was a painter of biomorphic abstractions and did collages, which were influenced by Dadaism. Xceron was active in New York City when modernism was gaining influence. Of him during this period, it was written that his artistic role was "a vital link between what is commonly termed as the first-generation (the Stieglitz group, the Synchromists, etc.) and second-generation, the American Abstract Artists, the Transcendental Painting...
