About the Item

Joanna Commings Dance Movement 1 Original Abstract Figure Painting Acrylics on paper unframed 87 x 60 cm (Please note that in situ images are purley an indication of how a piece may look). I used to attend a life drawing group where one of the models was a ballet dancer. She would go through dance moves, continuously moving around the large studio floor and you tried with pencil and charcoal to catch quick fleeting poses before they changed – images partially recorded before she moved on. I then added colour to enhance the series of rapid lines and form. I wanted to keep the movement live and active, so chose warm reds interspersed with cool blues. A great atmosphere of concentration and haste as she seamlessly moved through her paces. For her a good workout, for us, the artists engrossed, a mixture of desperation, as one beautiful pose melted before us and was lost unrecorded among our furious activity to miss nothing, catch it all.

Pictographs and Symbols Rain Dance Taos Society of Artists Taos New Mexico
Located in Soquel, CA
Pictographic scene by Charles Stewart (American, 1922-2011). There are several figures in the center of the piece, one of which has raised hands, as if to praise the sun above them. Surrounding the figures are symbols reminiscent of Neolithic art - spirals, handprints, and animal symbols. Signed "C. Stewart , T. S (for Taos Society of Artists)." in the lower left corner. Presented in a wood frame with vinyl faux-lizard skin wrapping, and a linen mat. Image size: 16.5"H x 21"W Charles C. Stewart (1922-2011) was born in Toledo, Ohio. From an early age he had a natural talent for the arts, so much so that during his school years, his teachers encouraged him to take classes at the Toledo Museum. He studied there for eight years. During World War II, he served with the tank destroyers in five campaigns. When he returned from the war, he studied art and sculpture at the Art Student's League in New York. He then went to Mexico for eight months to study and paint. While in Mexico, he fell in love with the country, its people and arts, vowing one day to return and live. In 1947, Stewart moved to Taos, New Mexico to start his career. He opened a frame shop and small studio and studied at the Taos Valley Art School under Louis Ribak. In 1949, he opened his own gallery. He taught art and sculpture at the Taos Art Association and at Philbrook Art Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as well as teaching private students. He built three homes in Taos, the last of which is known as the "Stewart House." The "Stewart House" was written up in the New Mexico Magazine in an article entitled "The House That Chuck Built" by Tricia Hurst In late 1984, Stewart and his wife, Mary Lou, were exploring the Baja in Mexico and ended up at "Land's End," a small fishing village on the Sea of Cortez called Cabo San Lucas...
