About the Item
Eugene Berman is a keen observer of his surroundings but never translates his vision in a literal way. In "Sicilian Landscape," the artist transforms a part of a grey desert into something green and fertile. Front and center in the composition, Berman paints a barren hill to resemble two female breasts. Rich with life-giving abundance, their rounded forms bulge and point upward toward the viewer. Swirling thin lines define their botanical shapes that culminate in the nipple. Is this Berman's way of saying this space is "Mother Earth" in her nurturing, rich, and fertile glory?

- Volcano Eruption - Explosive Fire Lava Flow from HellBy Peter EllenshawLocated in Miami, FLA Fiery Hell is depicted as a volcano that spews flames and lava dust into the air. According to the Peter and Harrison Ellenshaw Family Archive, this work was shown to Stanly Kubrick for a Paradise Lost, movie concept. Peter had created matte paintings for Kubrick's Spartacus in 1960 and they continued their professional friendship for years to come. Peter did some collaboration with TRON in 1982. Unfortunately, the movie concept for John Miltons, Paradise Lost, was not brought into production. An erupting volcano is also an powerful metaphor for many human conditions. Ellenshaw (1913–2007) was a highly regarded matte painter and special-effects creator whose filmography includes Old Yeller (1957), Swiss Family Robinson...Category

- Landscape Abstraction - Mid-Century - Twenty Paintings in OneLocated in Miami, FLAt the height of Abstraction Expressionism, overlooked Academic Artist John Atherton created a wonderfully complex painting that embodies many of the characteristics of what was going on in Mid-Century American Art. The work is simultaneously abstract as it is representational. Like a Bento Box, it's divided into sections by dividers. On close inspection, each section stands on it's own as a beautiful mini-painting yet coalesces as part of the whole. From a distance, it is eye-pleasing, but as the view gets closer and closer, new structures and details gloriously reveal themselves. This is an important painting and not unlike the work of Joaquín Torres-García. It was done in the last year of the artist's life. Signed lower right. Canvas is relined. Framed size: 30 x 41.25. The work is best viewed with top gallery lights to bring out color. Atherton exhibited at the famous Julien Levy Gallery in New York and his fine art is mainly associated with Magic Realism. He participated in the seminal 1943 Museum of Modern Art exhibition, American Realists and Magic Realists. The Museum of Modern Art has 4 Atherton paintings in its collection. As an Illustrator, Atherton did covers for the Saturday Evening Post, Fortune and Holiday Magazine...Category

- Squares - Color Field Painting - like MondrianBy Robert Goodnough, 1917-2010Located in Miami, FLSquares is a bridge between Mondrian and the Hard-edge abstraction movement. Clearly, this is a very early work because the artist has not yet found his mature style. The flat squares of uneven proportion, are in a formal but off-axis vertical /horizontal grid structure. Perhaps it's the artists take on a "drunk Mondrian" where the squares stumble to align themselves. Each square shape is different in shape and color and with visible brushstrokes and light impasto. Look carefully at the gray squares. They all have a slightly different hue. The squares are all unique individuals and not a repetition To Goodnough this was his departure from his influencer. Squares show the influence of his teachers including Hans Hofman...Category
