About the Item

From a mauve ground in the lower aspect of this large tondo by Otto Rogers, passages of green and black rise and intersect earthy shapes at a cloudy horizon. The geometry of the tondo, Italian for round, concentrates attention on the center of the image making the painting more self-referential. Rogers work, rooted in a cubist-constructivist tradition, was recognized by art critic Clement Greenberg in 1963 as having a "fullness of inspiration". In keeping with this sentiment, Rogers' tonal expression in this piece is contemplative, spiritual and uplifting. Rogers (1935-2019) was a prominent Canadian artist whose paintings, mixed media and sculptures are included in more than 30 public collections across Canada, including the Art Gallery of Ontario, the McMichael Canadian Collection, the National Gallery of Canada. His work is also in the Museu d'art contemporain de Barcelona and the National Gallery of Iceland as well as numerous private and corporate collections Rogers helped sustain the Emma Lake Workshops which provides a meeting place for many of North America's most respected visual artists and critics including Clement Greenberg, Barnett Newman, Jules Olitiski, Kenneth Noland, Jack Shadbolt, Helen Frankenthaler. In 2007, a published book of his work Otto Donald Rogers, included a foreword by British sculptor Sir Anthony Caro.

"Maine Landscape - Storm III" Oil on Canvas, Abstract Painting, Contemporary Art
Located in Houston, TX
Alfredo’s understanding of composition shines through here. Adhering to principles of design, the visual language employed is enough to convey a sense of landscape without giving too much away - leaving enough for viewers to assemble the scenery as their eyes traverse the painting. The impression of a horizon, established by a horizontal swathe of black in the center, breaks up the expressive treatment of the paint between the foreground and background, as well as helps evoke a more naturalistic sense of space. Alfredo Gisholt...
