About the Item
Artist Statement
Since Roger Weik was early in college in the 70's, he has always held an affinity for thickness and texture. There was something very organic about his work, a sense of having been created by some natural process rather than by an act of will. But no position, no school, no formula … there are no rules of how it should be.
He's always surprised by the unexpected, but does one actually know what one's doing? In his case, when he's finished with a painting, often he doesn't know why it's finished. He knows that it affects and moves him, that it has a life of its own, that it exists.
The essential part of being an artist comes through when one doesn't become too protective of what he thinks is his way of working. What you think you can't do is exactly what you already should be doing, rather than just putting it off, simply because you're afraid to lose yourself. But when you lose yourself that's when the Art happens.

Abstract, 1971
By Dan Howard (b. 1931)
Unframed: 29" x 35"
Framed: 30" x 36"
Signed Lower Left
Influenced by artists of such varying styles as Caravaggio, Rembrandt, De Kooning and Jack Levine, as well as many of the German Neo-Expressionists*, Dan Howard's work often blurs the line between representational* and abstract art*. His experimentation with different canvas preparations, his use of intense colors and his expressive brush strokes have created a myriad of visual combinations in his characteristic larger-sized oil paintings. The result is an emphasis on audience participation and the role of individual interpretation. "I want to make the viewer part of the process. That makes for a richer experience," Howard says.
Throughout his career, Howard has been both a dedicated art teacher-administrator and a gifted professional artist. He chaired the departments of art at Arkansas State University, Kansas State University and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Howard has received 100 prizes, awards and honors including the top awards in the three longest running national open painting competitions: Society of Four Arts, Palm Beach, Fla.; Butler Institute, Youngstown, Ohio; and Chautauqua Institution, New York.
The Omaha World-Herald has acknowledged Howard as "Nebraska's leading award-winning artist." His work is a part of more than 600 public, private and corporate collections including Hallmark Cards, West Law Publishing, United Airlines, Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing (3M), Holiday Inn...

Unframed: 37" x 24"
Framed: 37.5" x 25.25"
Bram (Abraham Gerardus) van Velde was a Dutch painter known for an intensely colored and geometric semi-representational painting style related to Tachisme*, and Lyrical Abstraction*. He is often seen as member of the School of Paris* but his work resides somewhere between expressionism* and surrealism*, and evolved in the 1960s into an expressive abstract art. His paintings from the 1950s are similar to the contemporary work of Matisse, Picasso and the abstract expressionist Adolph Gottlieb. He was championed by a number of French-speaking writers, including Samuel Beckett and the poet André du...
