Aba Linus
Lady on Blue 1

2022

About the Item

"Lady on Blue 1" is a captivating piece of art that features a lady with blue skin sitting in a seductive pose. The painting portrays a woman who is both alluring and mysterious, with an aura that commands attention. Created by Aba Linus, this work of art has a certain je ne sais quoi that captivates the viewer's imagination. The central figure in the painting is the lady with blue skin, who sits with one arm stretched out sideways and the other at the back of her hair. Her pose is suggestive, and her gaze is direct as if she is looking sideways. Her blue skin adds a sense of otherworldliness to the painting, making it feel almost like a fantasy. The background of the painting is a deep, rich brown, which further enhances the lady's blue skin. The contrast between the blue of the woman and the brown of the background creates a sense of depth, drawing the viewer into the painting. The brushstrokes are fluid and graceful, adding to the sense of movement and allure. There is a certain ambiguity to this painting that makes it intriguing. Is the lady on display for the viewer's pleasure, or is she lost in her own thoughts? Is she waiting for someone, or is she simply enjoying the moment? The painting leaves these questions unanswered, inviting the viewer to create their own interpretation. In conclusion, "Lady on Blue 1" is a stunning piece of art that captures the viewer's attention with its seductive central figure and alluring background. The use of blue throughout the painting creates a sense of depth and otherworldliness, while the lady's pose and clothing add to the overall sense of sensuality. The ambiguity of the painting invites interpretation, making it a fascinating work of art that can be appreciated by all.

  • Large French Expressionist Oil Painting, Girl, Poupèe, the Doll, Ecole de Paris
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Signed on recto and signed verso, titled, and inscribed Montmartre by the artist. This is a large colorful expressionist painting of a girl doll with long blonde or ginger redhead pigtails. It is titled Poupee 1925 and depicts an Art Deco era flapper girl in a beret. Roger Crusat (French Expressionist artist, poet and lithographer) is known for ballet troupe set design and theatre backdrop painting and architectural motifs. Roger Crusat was born in 1917 in Roussillon, Provence, France. Crusat's early works depict the colorful countryside of Provence in the South of France, As a young man Crusat performed many jobs in the troupe, designing costumes, and even dancing. But, most important, he painted the scenery for the troupe's performances. It was while working in this capacity that he learned the essentials of scenery painting that remain evident in his mature work. Crusat was a student of Andre Fons-Godail at Beaux-Arts in Perpignan when he was called to serve in World War II. After being wounded in 1940, he returned to study under Rene Jaudon at Beaux-Arts in Paris. Crusat was known by his contemporaries as "the Catalan painter of Montmartre" where he lived with his wife until his death in 1994. Cracked and peeling walls framed by rusting water pipes are a common sight in Montmartre. What others considered unnecessary, Crusat included. Water pipes were his cherished motif. Supposed by some to be a symbol of decay and monotony, Crusat's Impressionist water pipes like arteries in the body, convey life. Crusat won the prestigious Prix Populiste for his "Descente d'Eau" (Water Pipes) in 1956. Crusat's mature work retains the essentials of good scenery painting. Intricate detail will not be found, but broad, solid abstract shapes abound. His subtle colors, dense in texture, are meant to compliment his subjects, not distract from them. The critics considered him a lyric expressionist and a "painter of Man" in his portrayal of the anguish of daily life and the regrets of the past. Crusat exhibited at many of the same Salons as the post-impressionists and expressionists. Salon des Independants was co-founded by Georges Seurat. Degas had only one exhibition during his lifetime, and it was at the Galerie Durand Ruel in Paris. Gauguin had also exhibited his Tahitian paintings. Crusat's works were exhibited there in 1955.

  • 1950's Expressionist Interior Oil Painting Still Life with Flowers and Trumpet
    By Herbert Katzman
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Herbert Katzman 1923-2004 (American artist active in New york, Illinois and Italy) Oil Painting Dated 1946. Signed. Dimensions; Sight-16" x 20", Frame-23.5" x 27". Provenance: this bears an old stamp verso from Christie's auction house. Herbert Katzman was born in Chicago on Jan. 8, 1923, His father believing that discipline was a good teacher, sent Herbert and Bob to St. John's military academy for their elementary education but it wasn't long before Herbert found his way to the Art Institute of Chicago where he wanted to study sculpting. His Father vehemently objected and refused to finance his studies, but that wasn't enough to discourage the young artist. He put himself through school working as a student janitor and a few other odd jobs. At 17 he entered the Advanced School of the Art Institute, his interest having turned to painting. His study there was briefly interrupted by a short stint in the navy (1942-44). After receiving a medical discharge, he returned to Chicago to work with Boris Anisfeld, who introduced him to German and French Expressionism...
