About the Item

Four women with puppets. 1947, paper, mixed media, 16.3x11 cm Adolfs Zardins (1890 08 II Riga, Latvia – 1967 07 II Jurmala, Latvia), painter. Only in 1990 his relatives give his artistic heritage to publicity. “I am 58, and in five Years my colors and lines will be genuinely perfect…” “I don’t obey anything expert myself and my time…” His works are full of classic themes (history, mythology, religion and erotic's) but interpretation is paradoxical, associative, allegoric and also subjective. Zardins in his works created so-called “individual mythology”. Exhibitions: 1931, 1933 and 1935 – group exhibitions of the Union of the Independent Artists; Memorial exhibitions: 1998 – Riga; 1999 – Germany (Veclara) 1999 – Moscow, Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts. 2006 – Italy 2019 - In Bucharest, at the main building of the Titulescu Foundation

  • "Icarus Suspended" Abstract Mythical Figurative Mixed Media
    By Michael Ayrton
    Located in Detroit, MI
    “Icarus Suspended” is an extraordinary painting of Ayrton's obsession with flight, myths, mirrors and mazes. This complex piece shows a figure in flight, frozen in action, either swooping down or, perhaps, falling to earth. Named after the Greek mythological figure, Icarus, who along with his father attempted to escape from Crete by means of wings that his father constructed from feathers and wax. Flying too close to the sun the wax melted and both fell to earth. The positioning of Ayrton's figure is reminiscent of "The Fall of Icarus" by Jacob Peter Gowy, Museo Nacional del Prado. This is part of a series of artworks on Icarus some sculptural and some three-dimensional paintings on canvas. Verso contains gallery label Matthiesen Gallery, 142 Bond St., London, England, with a signature and text in upper right corner: "To Morton Schotnick. Bought on the occasion of The Archives of American Arts Tour to London, England. October 10, 1961. Michael Ayrton...
