Encaustic Abstract Untitled Painting 010 by Frederik Ottesen

Circa 1956

About the Item

The bold texture of this artwork engages the viewer. The textures Ottesen created are not as apparent until seem from close up. A subtle stunner. Framed this piece measures 29.25" x 37" x 1", and unframed it measures 28.5" x 36.25". Frederik Lund Ottesen studied at the University of Gettysburg, and later at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, where he won the school's most prestigious prize. Arriving in Paris in 1938, Ottesen entered Georges Braque's atelier and exhibited with the Galerie des Quatre Chemins until the second world war. After a distinguished military career, Ottesen returned to France and became friends with Hans Hartung. At this time, he began to paint abstractions. He showed extensively throughout Europe in the 50s and 60s, and was affiliated with the prestigious Galerie Coard in Paris and Downtown Gallery in NY.

"Quickening" Female Abstract Expressionist Artist 1970 Red Black White LARGE OIL
By Suzanne Bloomfield
Located in Rancho Santa Fe, CA
Born in 1934, the work of Suzanne Bloomfield represents the life force which binds us all -- a universal symbol for the soul's transformation. Bloomfield believes that painting is the discovering of beautiful secrets which are only uncovered in the searching. Her painting blends encaustic (an ancient painting method which adds pigment to heated beeswax) with oils. Her selected exhibitions include: Permanent Collection Archives, American Album, The National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, DC; Foreign Exhibition Tour of India, National Association of Women Artists-Centennial Year, New York City; and International Latin American Exposition, Miami Florida.
