About the Item
Densely colored watercolor from 1969, signed by Ryan, depicting two fishing boats in a dry dock. The small trawlers are lifted onto the hardstand regularly so that the submerged parts of the hull can be cleaned or inspected. Two silhouettes of men emerge in the lower right part, essential elements of this scene: fishermen or maintenance workers. More than simple subjects, they are both witnesses and narrators. Their presence underlines the perpetual synergy between man, ocean, and impermanence, a recurring motif in maritime pictorial art. Seagulls stand out against a sky with warm colors, while in the distance, the sea blends with a horizon of mountains and rocks.
The contours are sharp, stark, and dark. They seem to hold tightly to the otherwise fleeting watercolor pigments, demonstrating a keen awareness of structure and form.
Watercolor is often praised for its delicate and ephemeral qualities, its nuanced expression akin to writing on water. Here, the careful depiction of the texture of the wood of the boats and the ground reveals an engagement with materiality and bodily existence, inviting us to think beyond aesthetics. The work plays on oppositions, defying the conventional fluidity of the medium to offer a narrative of profound history and human connection.

Modern Colorful Watercolor by Jae Carmichael
By Jae Carmichael
Located in Pasadena, CA
With this colorful and minimalist watercolor by the artist Jae Carmichael, we are immersed in the vibrant world of Fauvism, as championed by Henri Matisse. Color above all, and perhaps even more than drawing, is a liberation," serves as a guiding principle in understanding this piece.
This artwork serves as a nod to pay homage to Matisse's pioneering approach to color and form, mainly as found in all his cutting work, like his “Book-flowers,” where we witness the systematic arrangement of simplified yet dynamic forms delineated by sharp contours reminiscent of cut-out shapes. The artist's bold experimentation with color is evident, with striking contrasts between different hues—where vibrant yellows boldly clash with deep indigo, and audacious blues stand alongside vibrant greens.
Jae Carmichael, much like his Fauvist counterparts, employs broad swathes of pure, vivid colors to evoke emotion and captivate the viewer. This piece, crafted with meticulous attention, showcases the artist's mastery in harnessing the power of color to convey mood and atmosphere. It is signed CC, her last signature.
Whether portraying the distinctive petals and pistils of squash blossoms or capturing the essence of simpler floral motifs, the impact of color reigns supreme. In this piece, the subject matter seems to fade into the background, overshadowed by the sheer force and intensity of the artist's chromatic exploration.
Born in Los Angeles, California, Jae Carmichael studied at Mills College and earned a BFA from the University of Southern California...
