David Crown
'Still Life Interior Scene with Island View', by David Crown, Acrylic on Canvas

1983

About the Item

This 30.75" x 41" acrylic on canvas framed painting depicts an interior scene with a seascape seen through a window. This painting is a modernist work, characterized by its abstract forms, bold colors, and flattened perspective. The foreground features two mid-century chairs facing each other rendered in green, both with a thin yellow base and each with one red geometric shape that could presumably be pillows. These chairs are depicted in a simplified and abstracted manner, the use of geometric shapes and flat colors departs from traditional representational art and adheres to the linear quality of painting in which the objects are tangible and clearly defined by an obvious outline. Emerging from the bottom right corner of the work is an abstracted and simple rendering of a table with a vase of flowers. The table is designed with different colored stripes oriented in different directions, some diagonal, some vertical, and some horizontal. The flowers within the vase, and the vase itself, are represented as simple shapes with no shading or dimension, further emphasizing the painting’s modernist style. Below the table and chairs, is a vivid and flat lilac color representing the floor. In the background behind the chairs, one sees an opening, showcasing a simplified seascape with a sailboat and island. Again, the depiction of the sea and sky is highly stylized, with the use of geometric shapes and flat colors. The clouds in the sky are represented as simple, rounded shapes, with no detailed texture or shading. The composition is framed by a thin, painted orange frame. Overall, the painting employs a bold and vibrant color palette. A. David Crown, M.D. (1924 - 2016) was born in London, England, and received his education at Cambridge University, the University of London, and the London Hospital Medical School. In 1947, he became a physician and moved to Rochester, NY in 1948. He practiced internal medicine until 1982 when he retired. His retirement allowed him to pursue his passion for art full-time. His works are in numerous collections across America, Canada, Japan, and Europe. Crown was also the Founder and Director of the International Mezzotint Society. This society is dedicated to the promotion and appreciation of mezzotint, a printmaking process. His art has been the subject of one-man exhibitions at institutions such as the Jacksonville Museum of Art, the Polk Museum of Art, Orlando Museum of Art, Florida Atlantic University, University of Florida, and the State Capitol Building Rotunda, Tallahassee, Florida.

'Impromptu #9, ' by Josette Simon-Gestin, Acrylic on Canvas Painting
By Josette Simon-Gestin
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
"An impromptu in music demonstrates its particular ability to translate the romantic effusion of a moment or of a mood. As I am looking through the window, the exterior scenery composes with my mood a complicated picture," says Simon-Gestin. "This piece expresses my complicated feelings about life." Impromptu #9 features two female figures conversing against a backdrop of rich blue windows, a vase of red flowers, and complimentary patterns and shapes. "After studying at the Beaux-arts in France, I have been painting, drawing, etching, making collage in the USA and in Italy, Austria, Denmark and China. In all these countries my work has been exhibited and collected. Numerous series have accompanied me during my itinerances. Questions about identity and my relation to the world mark my road. I wish to express the complexity, the beauty, the ambiguity of the world as I feel it. I paint women and children in a universe of fantasy made of strange animals in baroque situations. In all these women, there is something of me but the sum of all these women does not equal me or I would have nothing more to say." -- Josette Simon...
