About the Item
Dan Rupe
Dan Rupe, a supremely talented artist as bright and dazzling as his paintings. At one time in his life, living in Chicago, Rupe painted from photographs. One day Rupe ventured into his garden, set up his easel and went to work, he never painted from a photograph again. Why, when he could paint life? Rupe went from the studio to the garden, to the street. The experience Rupe got painting and the people, all sorts of people from all walks of life, their interaction, caused him to value living, being an artist he was safe to talk to, to approach. Rupe was part of the world, part of street theatre. Rupe was born in Elkhart, Indiana. His father, although born in a log cabin in western Kentucky, rose from poverty to become a surgeon. He worked at the hospital. He worked all the time. Rupe was raised as a Mennonite. They were at the World Conference, they had chrome on their bumpers and zippers. They were a close family, lived out in the country and had a large garden. His mom canned everything, not because of money, but because this is how you do it. It’s a midwestern thing. Rupe had chores to do and gained a work ethic. Rupe still gets up early to do his work, he trusts it, his mind is clearest, his emotional slate is cleanest in the early morning. The daughter of a neighboring farmer was in her 30’s, a beatnik and an artist. She gave Rupe art lessons; working in pastels and soap carving, he was six. Rupe had three heroes growing up, “Amelia Erhardt, because she was so strong she got lost. Georgia O’Keefe, nothing could stop her and Marilyn Monroe, her beauty could not stop her.” Rupe’s mother had a beautiful singing voice and urged him to take music lessons. At 11, Rupe got serious about oil paints. Turning 16, Rupe decided to be a painter instead of a musician. Rupe’s father took him for a drive and told him how difficult it was going to be making a living from my art. Rupe thought it wouldn’t be any more difficult than music. The following year Rupe went off to Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan with his parent’s blessing. Always one to seek out truth, at 17, Rupe went to his family and his church and told them he was homosexual, They did not reject him, which amazed him. Fond affection passes over Rupe’s eyes, pride in his family for their courage and willingness to embrace truth. At this time Rupe also made a clear shift in his painting, He eliminated black and earth tones from him palette. Rupe saw murky, muddy paintings and students struggling to get clear images and not understanding why. Today Rupe embraces this same technique. Under painting in red, his vivid colors vibrate with unique power, Painting provides immediate response. Rupe works in oils because the paint doesn’t shift in tonality, there is truth in the color. When Rupe teaches he tells his art students, “The Jibber-Jabber in your mind is a lie, go with your first thought it’s the truth, the most important of all. Choosing your subject whatever it may be is about honestly experiencing what is in front of you. It is what you need to create.” “Art is not a noun. Art is a verb, you must take action.” Rupe lived and painted all over the world, from Katmandu to Easter Island, the Dominican, Mexico, Wisconsin, Chicago, Provincetown to L.A. Rupe lived the fast lane pace of booze and drugs for a time. Rupe thought he’d either live to 110 or die young. At some point in your life, life slips and you ask, do you want to live or die? Rupe chose to live. Rupe put on the brakes and turned it around. Rupe could have become a well-known artist in the L.A. art scene, but the demeaning jobs he’d have to take to get there angered him and that was troubling. Then a moment of synchronicity occurred. Rupe helped two friends move to Hudson from L.A. The instant Rupe drove into town he burst into tears, the architecture, the beauty, the grit, the past splendor and years of neglect. It was real, so Rupe moved here. Where she lives, she has become there. Rupe asks why he loves painting on the street. Rupe is attracted to the color and patterns and the light. Rupe chose to make art brightly with bold strokes, it’s laughing out loud with nothing to hide, he just let it out. Rupe wants people to stop and look at his work, He loves to talk to them, it’s life, it’s genuine. Rupe knows who he is when he paints.

- Park Spring (Impressionistic Figurative Painting of Figures in a Park Landscape)By William ClutzLocated in Hudson, NYModern impressionist style figurative painting of a family in a colorful park landscape “Park Spring” painted by William Clutz in 1996 60 x 50 inches in a natural wood floater frame Wire backing, signed lower right This figurative oil on canvas painting was made in 1996 by William Clutz as part of a series of works called "Crossings". These paintings were a study of NYC dwellers engaging in the simple, daily activity of crossing the street. In this piece, Clutz captures a joyful moment of a mother and father walking in a sunlit park landscape with their young child. Bright sunlight radiates through lush fall foliage and fills the scene with a soft orange light. With broad, expressionistic brushstrokes, he discovers the extraordinary in the ordinary, by emphasizing the effects of sunlight on the human form. The painting is in excellent condition and is framed in a natural wood floater frame. More about the artist: In New York in the early 50's and 60's, abstract expressionism was the orthodox approach to art at the time. However, Clutz was committed to his personal style that focused on abstracted human figures within urban tableaux. Working in a context of artists who challenged abstract expressionism's popularity in New York, Clutz established himself as a significant proponent of abstract figuration. His paintings focus on human figures within the urban environment, often exposing the transfiguration of his subjects as they travel through the complex light of city streets or summer parks, as shown in two of his early works. Clutz's interest in working from direct observation of urban life was influenced by a long-standing interest in German Expressionism, as well as artists like Henri Matisse, Arshile Gorky, and Nicholas De Stael...Category

- Winter Lounges (Small Landscape Painting of Hudson Valley Snowy Winter Scene)By John KellyLocated in Hudson, NYHudson Valley landscape painting of a snowy country field in wintertime Oil on linen, 16 x 17.5 inches in black painted, artist made frame En plein air painter John Kelly approaches the Hudson Valley landscape with the eye of an architect and the hand of an impressionist. With intense attention paid to form and light, Kelly nevertheless manages to abstract the landscape just slightly, breaking earth, sky, and atmosphere down to their most elemental qualities. In this painting, two lounge chairs sit side-by-side, heavily blanketed in snow. Kelly renders the snow in shades of cool blue and violet, touched with pure, bright white. Behind the chairs, a murky line of shrubs, limbs bare, mingles with a few lonely pines and far-off blue hills. About the artist: Hudson Valley based painter John Kelly received his education from the Art Institute of Boston and Buffalo State. He has been exhibiting around the northeastern United States since the 1970s.

Provenance: Deaccession of Hearst Art Gallery, St. Mary's College, Moraga, California Carl Barth was a German visual artist who was born in 1896. Carl Barth has had several gallery and museum exhibitions, including at the Galerie Remmert und Barth. Many works by the artist have been sold at auction, including 'Mythos' sold at Ketterer Kunst Munich 'Old Masters & Modern Art/ Marine Art ' in 2003. There have been many articles about Carl Barth, including 'Getty Brings Together Over 40 Drawings Selected Solo Exhibitions 2017 Carl Barth: Works 1920 - 1970, Galerie Remmert und Barth, Germany, Düsseldorf Selected Group Exhibitions 2016 Overview 2016, Galerie Remmert und Barth, Germany, Düsseldorf 2014 Überblick 2014, Galerie Remmert und Barth, Germany, Düsseldorf Watercolors: Emil Nolde to Otto Dix and Beyond, Galerie Remmert und Barth, Germany, Düsseldorf 2011 Spirit of an Age: Drawings from the Germanic World, 1770–1900, J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center, USA, Los Angeles Overview 2011, Galerie Remmert und Barth, Germany, Düsseldorf which included artists August Macke,Carl Barth, Conrad Felixmuller, George Grosz,Hannah Hoch, Oskar kokoschka and others CARL BARTH 1896 to 1976 The Rhine painter CARL BARTH has created a work rich in developmental stages that stretches from the 20s to the 70s of the last century. After late-Expressionist beginnings in the 20s, he created in the early 30s, probably the most-respected part of his work, those strictly built, color-sparing tempera images that are the New Objectivity and the Magic Realism assigned, Barth's paintings of the early 1930s seem to express the loneliness of man in the face of a colder and more threatening social situation. The constructivist rigor of these works is transformed in the American paintings of 1936 into a more painterly style with a richer modeling of the subject matter, without abandoning the theme: the images reflect the loneliness and emptiness of the not only American "way of life" - they became repeatedly compared to works by Edward Hopper. Select Exhibitions: 1925 First exhibition of watercolors and printmaking in Munich. Return to the Rhineland. Initially own studio in his parents' house in Haan. In the fall admission to study at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. 1926 Exhibition with the group "The New West". 1927 First study trip to southern France (via Paris and Chartres).

Exhibition at the Kölnischer Kunstverein together with Gerhard Marcks and Peter Herkenrath. 1951 Solo exhibitions in Wuppertal, Marl and Duisburg.
