Another in the “face on” series. In this painting, I wanted to give an abstract impression of a city behind the locomotive. -Wayne Millett

A friend was showing me his travel pictures, and I noticed a rather striking image of a monk running, which was framed within this circular arched wall. I changed some dimensions and...

This was an early experiment that came about from dabbling in Photoshop. I played around with the hue and saturation of a vacation photo and liked the results, so I translated it to oils on canvas. Also, I’ve always loved combining purple and orange. -Wayne Millett

"Using a mix of hard edge and softening brushstrokes, I focused on juxtaposing warm and cool colours, keeping the blues and aquas in the foreground to suggest the ocean." -Wayne Millett

I wanted this portrait, from the Let it Be sessions with the Beatles in Abbey Road, to convey John Lennon lost in thought as he emanates creative ideas. This is the second from the template texture series and shows the patterns surrounding John representing that creative energy as well as accentuating light and dark in the background. -Wayne Millett

Oil, pastel, and paper collage on canvas. Signed and dated verso. 52.75 x 47.75 in. 54 x 49 in. (framed) Gilded floater frame. Provenance Compass Rose, Chicago Born Sylvan Irwin Goldberg in 1924 and raised in the Bronx, Michael Goldberg was an important figure in American Abstract Expressionism, who began taking art classes at the Art Students League in 1938. A gifted student, Goldberg finished high school at the age of 14 and enrolled in City College. He soon found New York’s jazz scene to be a more compelling environment, and he began skipping classes in favor of the Harlem jazz clubs near campus. Goldberg’s love of jazz would become a lifelong passion and a key component to his approach to composition in his paintings. From 1940 to 1942, like many of the leading artists of the New York School, Goldberg studied with Hans Hofmann. In 1943, he put his pursuit of painting on hold and enlisted in the U.S. Army. Serving in North Africa, Burma, and India, Goldberg received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star before being discharged in 1946. After his service, he traveled and worked in Venezuela before returning to the United States, settling back in New York and resuming studies with Hofmann and at the Art Students League. Living downtown and frequenting the Cedar Bar, Goldberg befriended many of the artists of the New York School. In 1951, his work was included in the groundbreaking Ninth Street Show, co-organized by Leo Castelli, Conrad Marca-Relli, and the Eighth Street Club, and featuring the work of - among others - Hofmann, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Franz Kline. In 1953, the Tibor de Nagy...

Earth, air, water, and fire are the center subjects of my art. I live in New York City-it is close to the ocean, and I’ve developed a deep affinity for the sea, which has also evoked...

Thick layers of paint foster an unctuousness commonly found in Dick Wray’s work. The treatment of the medium reflects a tendency toward impulse, whimsy, and vigorous expression. I...
