County Mayo Sunset

About the Item

County Mayo Ireland is a very special place. My dear old friend Grace ended up settling here with her husband. Hers is a story of romance, love, illness, hope and dreams that resonated deeply with me. She sent me pictures of her new homeland that were no less than magical. Grace has a heart of gold. I felt gifted to be in touch with her again and to try to imagine the journey that took her to a most unusual place. Home to some of the most gorgeous views of mountains and ocean, this image of County Mayo Sunset, sparked my earliest memory - that of my mother approaching me from a distance. I remember thinking – “that beautiful woman is my mother and I love her and why can’t I get to her?" I marveled at her dark thick hair, her slender figure and a face that Da Vinci would have painted. Seeing her, filled my heart with warmth. She had put me in a room with a French door that was locked. As she came closer, I could see her pull the skeleton key from her apron to open the door to take me to dinner. Recently I asked my mother about this memory. She confirmed I was 2 years old and all the details i have given are correct. County Mayo Sunset triggered one of the most important memories of my life. If I could paint what I felt at that moment, it would be colors that embodied a deep warmth within my pure infant heart – it would be this County Mayo Sunset. Rare pigments in this work include lead-tin orange, lead-tin yellow and lapis lazuli blue.

Village of Iseh, Bali (1948)

Note: Theo Meier arrived in Bali in 1936 with the intention of going on to Tahiti where he had been before. However Bali turned out to be the paradise he had been searching for in his dreams and he had no desire any more to move elsewhere. Bali at that time was still a very traditional place where society lived according to an acient religious system and in a luscious tropical setting the modern world was ignored. Here he met Walter Spies...

Sawah Landscape
Located in Amsterdam, NL
A sawah landscape, Sumatra Signed and dated 'Sonnega '54' (lower right), and annotated 'Voor Jan de Bas 1-1-1970 / R de Bas' (on the reverse) oil on canvas, 50,5x60,5 cm Provenance: - Collection Pieter de Bas (1909-1979) Mr de Bas was head of the MULO school and acting head of the HBS school in Medan. Thence by descent to the present owner. Exhibited: - Hotel de Boer, Medan 1954, where acquired by the first owner. The light I observed everywhere was of a special quality, fluorescent blue, shone from nowhere but radiated from every point, oddly with great depth and intensity. The light in an entirely different dimension came from nowhere and went nowhere shimmering with the glow of a bright blue jewel. The most important thing I discovered was of being omnipresent and able to understand everything at the same time, yes I could fathom creation completely. Auke Sonnega, born March 9, 1910 in Leeuwarden, known as the painter, primarily of young Balinese men and women. Originally raised in the reformed denomination, the parents of Auke apparently practised theosophy and their children, including Auke were taught these principles. The talent for drawing revealed itself at an early stage which in 1926 lead to a 4-year study of textile design at the Academy for Art and Craft in Amsterdam. He completed the academy in 1930 and worked in a carpet factory in Twente until 1934 and then followed in his sister Aafje’s footsteps leaving the Netherlands to go to the Dutch East Indies where in 1935 he started working as a graphic designer with an advertising bureau in Batavia. He was able to travel through Java and Bali on the motorbike that he brought with him from Europe, and was paid for his travelogue, enhanced with his own photo’s which appeared in several Dutch newspapers and magazines. In the 1930’s two Europeans, Walter Spies and Rudolf Bonnet...

"Iva" Oil Painting 39" x 39" inch by Andrey Remnev
Located in Culver City, CA
"Iva" Oil Painting 39" x 39" inch by Andrey Remnev ARTIST BIO: "My birth place is Yakhroma town, in the vicinity of Moscow. It is situated on high hills, from where broad Bruegelian vistas are open. The uneven terrain with significant differences of high and low; a canal between the Moskva river and the Volga; small rivers, woods and villages; a nearby ancient town of Dmitrov, which is equal to Moscow in age; ships cruising the canal and trains outdistancing them – all this I saw from my window since my early years. It was a view that embraced all the diversity of the world. This is why I can say that the impressions of my childhood and youth – beautiful nature and remarkable people – are the most important ones. In the museum of Moscow's St. Andronic Monastery I copied the best examples of the old Russian painting...
