About the Item

The painting is called Craps, but it's really not about craps. First of all, the setting is the door of Gregory Grammar School, where I went to school and painted often. It's part of my memory. But it stands for a lot more that just memory. Who was I in those days? That's me standing there in the front, facing away, and all the guys are in the corner playing craps. It's not about craps but about me not playing craps. It's me as an outsider. Me watching, or not watching. Knowing its going on but I'm not involved. I felt like an outsider when I was a young kid. I didn't participate in many of the games that the other guys played. I didn't play sports. I didn't do the other kinds of things they did. So there's an environment in which this was occurring and me being part of this sense of isolation, of separation, of being different from the other kids. It's something you don't want to think about too much. As an adult I never felt that. I worked. I participated in all the activities of the job. But when I was a kid I felt different. I was interested in things these other kids where not interested in. I had friends, but only one or two friends who were close. When the other kids were playing basketball, I'd go out there and try to play, but I never felt like I was really playing Looking at this painting reminds me of all those experiences. - Leopold Segedin Leopold Segedin Craps mixed media on panel 12h x 16w in 21h x 25w x 1.5d in framed LES010

Untitled, Mixed Media Oil Painting Figures Contemporary Female Artist
By Mil Lubroth
Located in Surfside, FL
This Contemporary female artist overlays stenciled figures using vibrant colors. Some of the figures are rendered with detail while others are left in abstraction. Mil Lubroth (1926-2004) was an American born artist who until her passing lived and worked in Madrid, Spain. Her colorful, semi-abstract paintings, which often combined Jewish, Arab and Christian symbolism, were described as “light and music, subtlety and suggestion, full of energy and joy” by Catherine Coleman, curator at the Reina Sofia Museum. Her annual open studio, held every November, was an important celebration of the Spanish art scene. A Fulbright scholar born Millie Schleifer, Mil Lubroth was influenced by the whimsical work of Paul Klee as well as by Robert Rauschenberg and Cy Twombly. She lived in Paris and then moved with her husband to Madrid where she raised her four children. The richly layered culture of Spain inspired her to weave together Jewish, Islamic and Western influences in her decorative and often mysterious work. She was the first North American Woman to exhibit at Madrid’s Cultural Center and her work also showed in Seville, Granada, Barcelona and New York.
