Georges Terzian
Notes : Georges Terzian est né à Marseille le 8 mars 1939. D'origine arménienne, sa famille vivait initialement en Russie mais s'est installée en France avant sa naissance. Terzian a commencé à dessiner et à peindre lorsqu'il était très jeune. À quatorze ans, ses parents l'inscrivent à l'École des Beaux-Arts de Marseille. Il y étudie pendant un an mais quitte l'école avant d'avoir terminé ses études, bien qu'il continue à peindre dans son atelier de Sainte-Mitre, près de Marseille. Il a également étudié la musique à Paris avec Jean Lumière, qui a été le tuteur de nombreux musiciens talentueux émergeant à Paris à cette époque. Inspirés par les post-impressionnistes, les premiers tableaux de Georges Terzian se concentrent sur les paysages de Provence. Travaillant à l'huile et à la gouache, il a expérimenté la technique impressionniste de la peinture "en plein air" dans les environs de sa maison familiale. À cette époque, il est particulièrement impressionné par les compositions de formes simples et de plans de couleurs de Cézanne, peintes au début du siècle. Georges Terzian s'est installé à Paris dans les années 1960. Peignant de manière prolifique, le développement de l'artiste s'est constamment articulé autour du mouvement cubiste, avec une attention particulière pour Braque et Picasso. En étudiant les œuvres de ces maîtres cubistes, Terzian a développé son propre type de post-cubisme. Se concentrant presque entièrement sur les natures mortes, il a expérimenté la formation de différents objets, travaillant principalement à l'huile. Terzian a commencé à considérer ses sujets comme une symphonie de couleurs et de formes et a cherché à exprimer ce dynamisme global dans chacune de ses peintures. Ayant participé à de nombreuses expositions personnelles à Paris, ses œuvres ont été acquises par de nombreux collectionneurs publics et privés en France et à l'étranger. Le travail de Terzian a attiré une attention internationale plus large et a développé une forte présence sur le marché secondaire à Londres, Paris et New York. La plus grande collection de ses peintures à ce jour a été exposée à Alon Zakaim Fine Art en 2010.

- Aoum II by Auguste HerbinBy Auguste HerbinLocated in New Orleans, LAAuguste Herbin 1882-1960 French Aoum II Signed and dated 'herbin 1944' (lower right); titled "aoum" 2 (lower left) Oil on canvas This bold and vivid abstract oil on canvas was painted by French painter Auguste Herbin, a pioneer in popularizing Modernist abstraction. Over his expansive nearly 60-year career, Herbin rubbed shoulders with art history greats from Pablo Picasso to Georges Braque before honing his personal and innovative style. Entitled Aoum II, the painting stands apart for its daring color palette and crisp composition. Painted in 1944, Aoum II embodies Herbin’s fully-formed artistic aesthetic and stylistic tenets. Only two years prior to its creation, Herbin developed his “alphabet plastique,” a synergistic visual language of color and form that he described in detail in his published book L’art non-figuratif non-objectif. Though the artist was highly cerebral in his process of creating art, one does not need to perfectly understand his principles to feel Aoum II's magnetism. The geometric shapes visible in the composition — primarily fragmented triangles and circles — are rendered in bold pinks, blues and yellows on a deep black background. His tiered application of color creates a natural three-register visual effect as if to tell a story from the apex of the form to its denouement. Auguste Herbin began his artistic training at the École des Beaux-Arts de Lille before moving to Paris in 1901. In the early years of his career, he experimented with a variety of styles, exhibiting Post-Impressionistic works at the Salon des Indépendants in 1906 and Fauvist paintings at the Salon d'Automne in 1907. After a brief Cubist period following his introduction to Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Otto...Category

- Emprunt 6% Souscrivez (War Loan 6% Subscribe) by Raoul DufyBy Raoul DufyLocated in New Orleans, LAEmprunt 6% Souscrivez (War Loan 6% Subscribe) Signed "Raoul Dufy" (lower right) Gouache on paper This vibrant gouache on paper by the renowned Raoul Dufy is not only a work of exceptional artistry, but also represents an important period in world history. The piece was a special commission ordered by the French government, who sought to encourage the French people to join in the post-war reconstruction efforts. Following World War I, the French government was destitute. The cost of the Great War had been tremendous not only in lives lost, but also in terms of infrastructure and finances. In order to reclaim its place as a great power on the world stage, France needed funds to reconstruct its key industries, and quickly. Thus, the government turned to one of the most famous French artists of the day - Raoul Dufy - to create this gouache on paper as an advertisement for the country's war bonds. The extraordinary work represents Dufy's own sense of patriotic duty. Entirely unique in his oeuvre, it is clear that Dufy wished to create something truly special to help his war-torn country. The artist deftly captures the industry of France in the colorful composition, showcasing bridges, buildings, ships and other key elements of the country's infrastructure in order to evoke the viewers' pride, patriotism and willingness to help. The words Emprunt 6% Souscrivez (War Loan 6% Subscribe) are boldly written across the top, seeking subscribers to a 6% interest loan to help rebuild the country - a very healthy return for the age. The powerful painting represents one of the most effective and extensive patriotic campaigns of all time. France relied heavily on the willingness of its citizens to lend money...Category

- H.M. Saffer II, "Sunset Path", Pointillist Oil Painting Landscape on CanvasBy H.M. Saffer IILocated in Saratoga Springs, NYColorful landscape painting "Water Images IV" 30x40 by artist H.M. Saffer II. Painted in the style of pointillism- a series of tiny painted brushstrokes, this oil landscape depicts a pathway lit by the setting sun. Sun rays of orange glow through a receding tree-line. Dramatic purple shadows are cast from the trees upon the deep orange pathway. A deep blue stream flows on the left side of the painting, alongside a grassy field of red and yellow poppies. About the artist: Born July 18, 1942 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, H.M. Saffer II launched his career by exhibiting his art at a public art show at the tender age of six. Upon graduation from Temple University in 1965, he traveled to Paris, France to enroll in graduate economics courses. Concurrently, HM's path took a different twist, as he soon leveraged his musical talent performing with notable French stars Hugues Aufray, Jacques Brel, Charles Aznavour, and many others. He was later hired by Barclay Records as a producer, and had several hit records in 1968 and 1969. During this period, he was also the chef / owner of two restaurants in Paris, and later a third located in Ibiza, Spain. Remarkably, as engaged as he was, HM never stopped painting and exhibiting his works. Several of his shows - sponsored by his restaurants and music associates - "sold out" and were favorably written up by the press. Before returning to the United States in 1970, he completed selected studies at L'Ecole Des Beaux Arts and exhibited in Paris and Brussels, Belgium. HM continued on with his music career in the United States at Warner Brothers Productions where he co-wrote the international hit song, "Look What They Done To My Song, Ma", recorded by Ray Charles, Melanie and other performers. While at Warner he painted a forty foot mural in their Madison Ave., NY headquarters and exhibited his works in the firm's lobby. In 1972 HM was hired by the dynamic songwriter/producer Bob Crewe...Category
