Jan Wunderman
Zinnias : Oil painting on canvas

1975

About the Item

"Zinnias" by Jan Wunderman, depicting an abstract vision of the plant. Jan Wunderman primarily lived and worked in New York City and New Hampshire. Wunderman is noted for richly painted, gestural abstract paintings exploring the formalities of form, space, and color. She embraces the challenge of organizing disorganization. Although the shapes in her paintings initially appear unrelated, they have a strong compositional structure and rhythm. Intermittently Jan was also inspired by the natural beauty that she saw in the special garden in Gramercy Park, not far from her home in that area and the natural beauty of her country retreat in the mountains of New Hampshire. This work featured in the show celebrates the refined shapes, forms, and color of Zinnias. At first glance it appears a simple depiction of flowers in within a still-life, but Wunderman continued to employ bold vibrant coloration and geometry that make the simple sublime. Jan Wunderman studied at Otis Art Institute, now Pratt Institute, and at the Brooklyn Museum Art School, NY. She has had several solo exhibitions throughout the United States and has won numerous awards including the Ohashi Award – Pan Pacific Exhibition in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan; the National Association of Women Artists; the American Society of Contemporary Artists; and the Grumbacher Gold Medal. Her works are in many corporate and museum collections including the Chrysler Museum, Norfolk, VA; New York University Loeb Collection, Bank of America, NY; Warner Lambert, NJ; Wamsutta, NY.

In the middle of the road
By Dana Frankfort
Located in Houston, TX
Dana Frankfort In the middle of the road, 2017 oil on canvas over panel 48 x 48 x 1.75 inches For over two decades, Dana Frankfort has explored the vexing periphery between language and sight by painting words. Rather than laying claim to the paintings, controlling their semiotic pulse, her words serve as the formal armature; they prop up, ventilate, and allow the many layers of paint to breathe. Imperatives, allusions, evocations—the words dissolve into a palimpsest of obscured serifs and stems, into color and form. The title of the work is a phrase from a poem by Carlos Drummond de Andrade’s “In the Middle of Road.” Here it is, translated from the Portuguese by Elizabeth Bishop...
