About the Item

Horacio Garcia Rossi Couleur Lumière Décalée Oil on Canvas 50 x 50 cm Signed and dated 11/08 on the back Horacio Garcia Rossi, along Morellet and J.Le Parc - these works, though created in strict accordance with the rules of mathematics, are basically unstable. These models of “perpetuum mobile” are inconceivably static and dynamic, abstract and concrete, clear and ambiguous, all at the same time. GRAV’s members rejected the idea of the Artist as "genious figure," emphasizing instead the importance of creative cooperation for the coming into being of a “solid and unified basis of collective theoretical and practical experience”. This, however, did not preclude the Group from disagreements and conflicts, which were aggravated over time. After GRAV was dissolved in 1968 as a result of apparent contradiction between their declared values (anonymity, etc.) and its individual members’ involvement in commercial art and other promotional activities, the artists mainly proceeded with their own development of the same ideas and principles that had once brought them together. Horacio Garcia Rossi, the group’s leading figure, was born in 1929 in Buenos-Aires (Argentina). As a student of the National Academy of Fine Arts (Buenos-Aires) in 1950–1957, he made the acquaintance of young artists who would later contribute to the founding of GRAV. Rossi’s early paintings are mainly experiments with flat black-and-white forms. A characteristic feature of his GRAV-period works is the introduction of light and motion. His studies on the changeability-problem took shape as a series of moving light installations named Unstable Light Boxes. Since then, light has been a key element of all his works. Rossi experiments with light’s expressive properties, playing not only with graphic vibration, but also with its materiality. He put forth considerable effort to invent a dynamic alphabet whose every letter would be associated with an image, bright and vigorous, fitting with the letter’s shape and sound. His exercises in this sphere were crowned by a series of original “portraits” of names including those of the master’s family and fellow artists.

Diamond II Geometric Abstract Oil Painting
By Jaro
Located in Lake Worth Beach, FL
Diamond II 2018 Geometric Abstract Oil Painting Artist signed verso, oil on canvas 48x48 JARO was born in 1934 Prague the Czech Republic. Since his childhood, he enjoyed his art class at school the most. Almost every drawing and panting were on display in his classroom. During his college years, in Vienna Austria, studying to become mechanical engineer, he continued to study art. His technical drafting education became later a major factor and influence in his GEOMETRIC ABSTRACTION (Non-Objective) paintings. He immigrated in 1957 to the USA, New York , where he finished his first small oil painting. Since then JARO painted on and off, until he opened his own studio in 1965 on East 4th Street in the Village. Here he created a series of well designed palette knife paintings in the style of abstract expressionism. JARO stretched off shaped canvases, making him one of the first artists working with these unique shapes. At the time JARO owned his own studio, he studied at the Art Students League 57th Street, New York.  Later in 1969, he studied in Woodstock for several years with John Pike, one of the foremost watercolorists in America, as well as, with Robert Angeloch...
