About the Item
Maria Poroy's "Moonrise" is a 24" x 24" mixed media canvas that exemplifies contemporary abstract expressionism. The artwork features a warm, earthy palette, where burnt oranges and muted umbers form a textured backdrop, reminiscent of a celestial landscape at dusk. The central motif, a soft-edged pale disc, dominates the composition, evoking the serene presence of the rising moon. Accents of deep blue with polka dots add a rhythmic contrast, while sporadic splashes of red suggest a dynamic energy beneath the calm surface. This piece conveys the quietude and contemplation of an evening's lunar ascent, infused with the subtle complexities and emotional depth characteristic of Poroy's abstract style. "Moonrise" invites the viewer to a moment of introspection, guided by the tranquil emergence of nightfall's guardian.
Artist Statement:
"I have traveled the world and live in beautiful California but I have also been inspired by poetry and the patterns and textures found in old buildings. Sometimes I dream a painting before I paint it, Sometimes I have a concept but the painting takes over and goes somewhere else.
I am inspired by the masters of the past and so many brilliant living artists I have been honored to learn from. Often asked to demo, people are intrigued by the colors and textures in my work. I prefer acrylic and mixed media because many layers dry quickly and I can manipulate the paint with brushes, my hands, and a collection of unusual tools. I love the spontaneity of large brushes and dripping paint. I enjoy experiments with the media and often incorporate several in a painting. For me it's not about the media so much as getting the effect I want." - Maria Poroy
An original piece, one-of-a-kind.

- UntitledBy Michael GoldbergLocated in Austin, TXOil, 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...Category
