Steven H. Rehfeld
‘Symphony’ Colorful Mixed Media Large Contemporary Abstract

2010

About the Item

"Symphony" by Steven Rehfeld is a captivating 57" x 65" mixed media contemporary abstract that resonates with the dynamic rhythm of a musical ensemble. The canvas becomes a stage for a harmonious blend of textures and colors, each layer contributing its own unique note to the composition. Swirls of muted blues, passionate reds, and earthy tones intermingle, creating a visual melody that is both chaotic and coordinated. Dark, expressive strokes evoke the deep resonance of string instruments, while splashes of color seem to dance like notes on a musical score. The artwork's tactile elements, with thick paints and mixed media components, further amplify its depth and emotion, creating a symphonic experience that engages the senses. This piece is a testament to Rehfeld's ability to transcend traditional art boundaries and create a multi-sensory experience, much like a live orchestra performance. Steven is now one of the top emerging artists in the U.S. His works are groundbreaking, bold, and imbued with unflinching disregard for painting conventions. Many works are in collections and museums in the U.S. Steven is also part of the 'Outsiders' school of art, originating in France in the 19th century. Also known as the Naïve movement, and was comprised of people with no art training at all, who suddenly started to paint. Many of them are from very challenging backgrounds. All they had was talent that had never before been tapped. In no time this movement became a major art phenomenon and spread all over the world. His work, however, has branched out past the movement and his use of earth elements renders a basic and raw interpretation of his message. The painting comes with a certificate of authenticity and a letter of appraisal. Original, one-of-a-kind. Shown at The American Art Gallery, Carmel-By-The-Sea, California.

  • Untitled
    By Michael Goldberg
    Located in Austin, TX
    Oil, pastel, and paper collage on canvas. Signed and dated verso. 52.75 x 47.75 in. 54 x 49 in. (framed) Gilded floater frame. Provenance Compass Rose, Chicago Born Sylvan Irwin Goldberg in 1924 and raised in the Bronx, Michael Goldberg was an important figure in American Abstract Expressionism, who began taking art classes at the Art Students League in 1938. A gifted student, Goldberg finished high school at the age of 14 and enrolled in City College. He soon found New York’s jazz scene to be a more compelling environment, and he began skipping classes in favor of the Harlem jazz clubs near campus. Goldberg’s love of jazz would become a lifelong passion and a key component to his approach to composition in his paintings. From 1940 to 1942, like many of the leading artists of the New York School, Goldberg studied with Hans Hofmann. In 1943, he put his pursuit of painting on hold and enlisted in the U.S. Army. Serving in North Africa, Burma, and India, Goldberg received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star before being discharged in 1946. After his service, he traveled and worked in Venezuela before returning to the United States, settling back in New York and resuming studies with Hofmann and at the Art Students League. Living downtown and frequenting the Cedar Bar, Goldberg befriended many of the artists of the New York School. In 1951, his work was included in the groundbreaking Ninth Street Show, co-organized by Leo Castelli, Conrad Marca-Relli, and the Eighth Street Club, and featuring the work of - among others - Hofmann, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Franz Kline. In 1953, the Tibor de Nagy...
