About the Item

Oil on canvas STATEMENT by AUDREY ANASTASI: Considering myself primarily a feminist artist, painting other women, most of my work focuses on the human face, figures, animals and nature. Whether the subject matter is figuration or nature, I approach all my subjects directly and boldly. I prefer direct observation, and I work very rapidly. And, as with all my paintings since 1990, in my quest to discover and reveal what is most essential, the figuration works are painted almost exclusively with my non-dominant left hand. BIO A curator, gallery owner/director, educator and arts advocate, Audrey Frank Anastasi is, above all, a prolific, practicing artist. A book of her "Stations of the Cross" series was published in 2016 by SPQR press (ISBN:9780997530650). In progress is a commissioned series of forced-migration-themed works slated for simultaneous exhibition at the privately-owned Valentine Museum of Art, and at Medgar Evers College, Brooklyn, NY.. Ms. Anastasi has an extensive history of being featured in exhibitions and publications, including recent interviews in BREUCKELEN magazine, ArtVoices, and Art Book Guy. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Audrey graduated Magna cum Laude from University of Miami on full academic scholarship. She attended Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York, earning her Master's Degree in Fine Arts.

  • Peek-a-Boo
    By Seymour Joseph Guy
    Located in New York, NY
    In the latter half of the nineteenth century and into the first decade of the twentieth, New York City art aficionados could count on finding recent work of Seymour Joseph Guy hanging on the walls of the city’s major galleries. Primarily a genre artist, but also a portraitist, between 1859 and 1908 Guy showed more than seventy works at the National Academy of Design. From 1871 to 1903 he contributed over seventy times to exhibitions at the Century Club. From 1864 to 1887, he sent about forty pictures to the Brooklyn Art Association. A good number of these works were already privately owned; they served as advertisements for other pictures that were available for sale. Some pictures were shown multiple times in the same or different venues. Guy was as easy to find as his canvases were omnipresent. Though he lived at first in Brooklyn with his family and then in New Jersey, from 1863 to his death in 1910 he maintained a studio at the Artist’s Studio Building at 55 West 10th Street, a location that was, for much of that period, the center of the New York City art world. Guy’s path to a successful career as an artist was by no means smooth or even likely. Born in Greenwich, England, he was orphaned at the age of nine. His early interest in art was discouraged by his legal guardian, who wanted a more settled trade for the young man. Only after the guardian also died was Guy free to pursue his intention of becoming an artist. The details of Guy’s early training in art are unclear. His first teacher is believed to have been Thomas Buttersworth...
