About the Item

This abstract acrylic work by Max Günther is an exquisite example of his abstract cityscape work. A preferred subject of Günther's, his work took cityscape shapes and reduced them into their most fundamental and shapely form, allowing us to question what it is we see when we look toward a city and see their structures piercing into the sky. This colorful collage has an almost volcanic quality to it, giving it a warm and almost pulsing sensation in its style.
Max Günther was a Swiss artist who was born in 1934 in Zurich, Switzerland. He studied all over Europe before he toured the United States in the 1960s, where some of his first exhibits were done. He moved to Rome, Italy where his life was cut short in a car accident in 1974. His work heavily focused on abstract cityscapes and lithograph work.
The art critic Lionel Casson wrote of his 1962 American exhibit: "The disciplined control of space, this subtle evocation of spirit, this massive strength, and the artistic vision combine the three into a vision whole--these precious gifts are what make Max Günther's art so exciting to me."

"Untitled Abstract" Oil on Board, Abstract Expressionist, Signed by the Artist
Located in Detroit, MI
SALE ONE WEEK ONLY
The energy and gusto of the applied paint in "Untitled Abstract" appears close to violent except for the calming influence of the circle in the middle. The red circle tempers the movement a little and brings all the strokes and wild directions into a harmony that is bursting with life. This is an extraordinarily expressive painting by Simpson.
Simpson became the first African American to receive a prestigious five-year fellowship from the Charleston Scientific and Cultural Education fund and left South Carolina in 1949 for New York City after he finished high school. He attended New York University and Cooper Union while working in the frame shop of Herbert Benevy. Many well-known artists came to the frame shop and in time critiqued Simpson's work and developed a relationship with him. At NYU Simpson became acquainted with Hale Woodruff...
