Roundism – 04-02-22, Painting, Oil on Other

2022

About the Item

Something New This roundism oil painting is quite different from the last roundistic one, called ‘Singularity – 23-12-21’. Whereas the latter was all about the use of shiny colors, the experiment at hand has another color range. Maybe I felt I needed a change from mother-of-pearl and metal paints. That was fun too but to me creating art is all about the process of finding something new. Of late I have tried out some different, more expressionistic color schemes like the combination of greens and reds. Such resulted in a colored pencil drawing ‘Risque – 18-01-22’ and an oil ‘Risque – 13-12-21’. Speed Things Up Especially the latter I like, not in the last place because I made that one in a couple of days. The Singularity painting took me half a year. Even though I like to have some big projects in progress, some medium sized paintings are necessary too. They enable me to try out new things and speed up the process of painting. Not that speed in itself is a goal but to prevent myself from becoming too shy and prudent. Painting only high-end surrealist works full of details is a mighty craft but won’t evoke the daredevil in me. Therefor I put myself the task of completing this one in three days. I almost managed to do so. Half a day in addition. New Color Scheme And why not crank up the volume of oils? After all, I made all these graphite pencil drawings I still consider prestudies in some sort of way. These A4-sized drawings started out as doodles waiting for my students at Brugman Art. Actually I am amazed by the fact I sold so many in the past. Anyway, time to lay them all out to be put in oil. I happened to have bought some new paints. I felt I kind of got stuck in the same kind of color schemes all the time. So I bought some lovely earth pigments like Schmincke Pozzuoli earth and Pompeian red. I combined them with Old Holland nickel yellow and yellow-brown. As cool colors I used Rembrandt Sèvres green and combined black with ultramarine to get a deep dark tone. It serves as a ligament throughout the entire painting, welding all colorful parts together. Romy Roams Around The result is quite surprizing but I like it. I think I will do another one with these same colors. The portrait by the way evolved into a slight resemblance to Romy Schneider. One of the most beautiful women I have ever saw. Is that a coincidence?

Woman with a Guitar, Cubism
By Simka Simkhovitch
Located in Greenwich, CT
A period work by a Russian artist working in a Cubist approach. The canvas is 24 1/4 x 22 1/4 inches and the above dimension is the framed size. The frame is an older frame, with a flat gold/brown finish. In Woman with Guitar, Simkhovitch plays on his his early fascination with Cubism and Constructivism (and his background in illustration) expressing and compressing with planes and color the spatiality of a domestic scene. Considered a master draftsman and an adherent of certain classicism, Simkhovitch’s compositions are often built up in a complicated but well-managed counterpoint, at heart, he is a romanticist preferring the dreamy colors of a Russian fairy tale.

Blue Pacific Mandolin
By Maurice Green

Premiering for the first time in three decades, the original paintings of American artist Maurice Green. Born in 1908 in Latvia, Maurice Green studied with prominent artists of the day before settling in Los Angeles in the 1930’s. The artist continued his art education and began exhibiting throughout galleries in Southern California. As with many artists, his earliest style was more realist imagery, transitioning through his intense fascination with the cubist avant-garde movement, into specific cubist imagery which became the trademark style of painting for the remainder of his life. This is the first presentation of the paintings of Maurice Green since his death in 1993. "Blue Pacific...
