Gino Hollander
Mid Century Modern Abstract Expressionist Gino Hollander Oil on Canvas Painting

1974

About the Item

This sophisticated and large scale Mid Century Modern abstract expressionistic oil on canvas painting was realized by the esteemed 20th century visual artist and filmmaker Gino Hollander (1924-2015), in the United States in 1974. In dialogue with other canonized visualized artists of the period, most notably Joan Mitchell, this painting offers a dynamic composition in an understated and vibrant palette using a variety of painterly techniques. Executed in predominantly in grisaille and flaxen hues with ecru and amber accents, the composition features turpentine rivulets of running pigment; chunky blocks of paint rendered with a palette knife; and delicately applied brush strokes against a painted white background. The result is a captivatingly layered work that offers sustained visual pleasure and abundant visual discoveries. The solid white background adds negative space but also breath and depth to the composition. Full of verve and dynamism- and exhibiting masterful paint handling-, this painting embodies the qualities that discerning collectors of Abstract Expressionism (and modern art in general) absolutely adore. It would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Mid Century Modern to contemporary. It is signed and dated by the artist, and is in excellent vintage condition. The work comes presented in a custom black inked gallery frame. Gino Hollander was born in the New Jersey in 1924 and attended Rutgers University as well Hobart and William Smith College. He had two very different careers before he began painting – the first as part of the U.S. Army’s Mountain Division Ski Troop, and the second, an award-winning director and documentary filmmaker. Demonstrating his artistic versatility, Gino Hollander took up painting in 1960. From 1960 to 1962, Gino ran his first Hollander Gallery on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village, New York. He carried on a successful painting career until his death in 2015, producing works that are celebrated for their inimitable and compelling aesthetic, and represented in illustrious collections (both institutional and individual worldwide). His many collectors have included: Jacqueline Kennedy, Steve McQueen, Norman Rockwell, Oscar de la Renta, Calvin Klein, HRH Queen Sophia of Spain, and, Luciano Pavarotti. Additionally, his work is featured in Lindstrom Gallery (Stockholm), Gstaad Palace (Switzerland), Aspen Art Museum (Colorado), Museo de Belles Artes (Spain) and many other institutions the world over. American, 1974 Dimensions: 66"W X 48"H X 2"D
