Sax Berlin
Open Debate, Figurative Oil on Canvas Painting

1991

About the Item

From Sax Berlin's Fools series of the 1990's. This intricate masterpiece is of museum quality. Berlin's Fools are seen clustered en masse in a complex portrayal of debate. This work is reminiscent of ancient civilisations and cultures from Ancient Greece to Assyria. Sax Berlin (1953), arguably the finest exponent of 21st Century Classicism has devoted his life to absorbing the culture of art and architecture in Europe, Asia & North America. Thus becoming a genius of our time and the great secret of modern art. His contemporaries and collectors call him "The Master". When one reviews his oeuvre 8 distinct & separate styles emerge, displaying Berlin’s mastery of his subject; only Picasso has shown this level of genius. Quote from Sax; "It's a great honour to be compared to Picasso after all he is my spiritual father". Berlin is a unique artist, using techniques mastered during his studies; ranging from antiquity through the medieval and Renaissance to the present; he creates the visual outcomes he wants and that delight collectors. The pieces Berlin has created in his New York, Greek and Cornish studios are of museum quality and are rarely seen in Art Sales offering a combination of beautiful artworks and investment opportunities. Harvard University refer to him as a Master Artist and use his Buddhist Icon works as exemplars of the form in their Religious Studies degree courses. The President of the Asia Society on Park Avenue, NYC wrote to Berlin that "your work is beautiful" and Bernard Faure, Professor of Asia Studies at Columbia University wrote "your icons really do have a life of their own". Sax Berlin is a modern Master Painter in the truest sense of the term and follows in the footsteps of the Great Masters of the past.

Harlequin's Golden Collar: Contemporary Figurative Mixed Media Painting
By Sax Berlin
Located in Brecon, Powys
The latest rendition of Sax Berlin's interpretation of Harlequin. A beautiful piece evocative of medieval wall art where Harlequin wears his traditional hat, often shown in the modern world to have belonged to jesters but is really an allusion to the diamond pattern associated with Harlequin. There may also be a hidden reference to Picasso here; in Guernica Picasso...
