About the Artist: Rolph Scarlett was a Canadian artist known for both his abstract paintings and jewelry designs. Scarlett’s nonobjective style of painting emerged from his interest in both Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinksy. Born on June 13, 1889 in Guelph, Canada, he worked in his uncle’s jewelry store as a teenager before moving to New York in 1908. After briefly studying at the Art Students League, Scarlett relocated to Los Angeles where he became a successful set designer for plays and films. During the 1920s, the artist traveled to Europe on business, there he met Klee and shifted from a more traditional observational painting style to abstraction. After settling in New York in 1937, Scarlett became friends with the new curator of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum Hilla Rebay, who introduced him to a number of avant-garde circles in the city. Throughout the remainder of his career, the artist continued to produce both jewelry and paintings. He died on August 7, 1984 in Woodstock, NY. Today, Scarlett’s works are held in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and The Museum of Modern Art in New York, among others.

Rolph Scarlett
Rolph Scarlett was a painter of geometric abstraction during the American avant-garde movement of the 1930s and 1940s. Scarlett was born in Guelph, Ontario, Canada in 1889, he left Canada at the age of 18 to go to New York City and returned to Canada during the years of World War I. However, by 1924, Scarlett had established New York City as his home. While he was beginning his career as an abstract painter, he was designing stage scenery for George Bernard Shaw's play, Man and Superman and the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall. In 1939, while creating the Museum of Non-Objective Painting (later the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum), Director Hilla Rebay began to take an interest in Scarlett's work. By 1940, he had become the new museum's chief lecturer. By 1953, the Guggenheim owned nearly 60 of his paintings and monoprints. Scarlett later became a resident of the Woodstock art colony for more than 25 years and showed his work in the Woodstock exhibits.

"Abstract Composition 3" Abstract Oil Painting 24" x 18" inch by Youssef Sida
Signed and dated 1990
Youssef Sida
1922-1994
Born in 1922 in Damietta, and in 1945 he got his degree from the Higher Institute of Educational Art. In 1947, he participated in establishing the influential Group of Modern Art. In 1949 he participated in the Egyptian exhibition in Paris. In 1950, he received the Full Bright award for studying art at Minnesota University. He then studied at Colombia University in NY and began exhibiting his work in NY and Minnesota from 1951-1952. He participated in 1953 in the Biennale of Sao Paulo in Brazil. Upon returning to Egypt in 1954, he became active in local and international exhibitions. In 1961, he was sent by the Egyptian government to receive his Ph.D. from Columbus University, Ohio. After, he started exhibiting his work in Columbus and Washington DC.
Y.Sida’s work at the start was mainly dealing with popular Egyptian themes. We can distinguish Sida’s work through his power of using primary colors in its purest form directly in the tubes without being mixed with other colors. Also, we can notice in his work a tendency towards the qualities and techniques of children’s art.
In his later years, Sida began experimenting with Arabic Calligraphy by concentrating on the forms and shapes that are dominant in the popular Egyptian motives and décor. We can witness the dynamism in his Arabic calligraphy work. Sida is also known for his huge murals...
