Hilda Pertha A Mendocino Artist's Abstract “Ode to Day”1982
1982
About the Item
Subtle but vibrant, this abstraction of a hibiscus in brilliant yellow is framed by a cluster of bird of paradise blooms in the shady foreground—the latter simplified into bursts of the plant’s renown color duo. Bring a garden inside without the watering and weeding. Nice.
According to the Smithsonian Institution’s archives, the artist Hilda Pertha was born in Pensauken, New Jersey. She studied at the Philadelphia College of Art, the Barnes Foundation, and Settlement Music School. “In the 1950s she worked as a textile designer in New York City and Europe while trying to grow her painting career,” The Smithsonian archive adds that she also stayed for a time in Norway, where she felt a strong connection to the land and people, exhibiting there, as well as in other parts of Europe.
Later living in coastal Northern California, “she was active at Mendocino Art Center as an exhibitor and teacher after being invited to teach by founder William (Bill) Zacha." She worked primarily in oils and also wrote more than 200 articles for the magazine "West Art.” Pertha died in Mendocino in 2011.

"Maine Farmer" A late 20th-Century Abstract Painting in Red, Black & White
Located in San Francisco, CA
Not the visual expected of a painting carrying the title “Maine Farmer.” But this abstract composition manages to convey the flinty resolve of men who support their families on the output of demanding and “generally infertile” soils, as described by the University of Maine. Thank the Lord for blueberries.
Artist Abraham Elterman bestrides two countries. He was born in Mexico City and spent much of his education in the sciences, here in sequence: a B.Sc. in Physics at the nearly 475-year-old Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico in his home town; a stint at Hebrew University of Jerusalem; a Ph.D. in Biophysics at the University of California, Berkeley; and then, taking a new direction with a residency in The Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture located in Madison, Maine. Ah-ha, Maine!
Elterman’s website lists 22 exhibitions in both Mexico and California, starting in 1986, and inclusion in group shows at the Monterey Museum of Art, Monterey, California and the Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento...
