About the Item

Mary Abbott (1921-2019) Untitled, 2005 Watercolor on paper Artwork: 5 x 7 in. l 13 x 18 cm Framed: 10 x 12 in. l 25 x 30 cm Signed lower right Mary Abbott (1921-2019) was an American painter and one of the few women closely connected to the first generation of Abstract Expressionists. Born in New York City, she studied at the Art Students League and later with painter Milton Avery. By the late 1940s and early 1950s, she was working in the same circles as artists like Willem de Kooning and Mark Rothko and was one of only three women members of the Artists’ Club,alongside Perle Fine and Elaine de Kooning. Abbott’s work combined bold gestural brushwork with an intuitive use of color, often influenced by her time spent in the Caribbean, particularly in Haiti, where she immersed herself in the local landscape and culture. Despite being part of one of the most important movements of the 20th century, Abbott’s contributions were long overlooked.

Abstract Expressionist Composition by Jacques COULAIS (1955-2011) gouache painting on paper/ card unframed: 9 x 9 inches condition: very good and impressive provenance: all the paintings we have for sale by this artist have come from the artists studio and are all featured in the artists Catalogue Raisonne. Jacques, Paul, Firmin Coulais is a French painter born on March 22 , 1955 in Fenioux ( Deux-Sèvres ) and died at the age of 56, the June 25 , 2011 in Niort (Deux-Sèvres). Born into a farming family, he was the seventh of eight children. Suddenly becoming a quadriplegic at the age of six following poliomyelitis, he overcame this handicap by building with determination an independent life centered on artistic practice and an intense social life. For more than thirty years his house and his workshop have been the center of attraction for many artists, art lovers or simply friends of Niort and all of France. Coulais began to paint with his mouth, as an autodidact. In 1978, he made the acquaintance of a plastic art teacher who advised him and engaged him on the path of watercolour. The freedom granted to him by this technique as well as the flexibility of its application fascinate him. This meeting and the friendship shared with his teacher, lead him and very quickly direct his work from figurative to abstraction in a way that he explores and that he will then find in the works of Kandinsky and Paul Klee. Admitted to the School of Fine Arts in Angoulême, he studied there from 1981 to 1984 and obtained the National Superior Diploma in Plastic Expression at the age of 31. A few years later, Jacques Coulais exhibited at the Museum of Niort and since then, his career has been punctuated by his participation in numerous exhibitions organized very regularly in various French cities as well as abroad.
