Miles Mathis
Standing Nude Woman Pastel Painting

About the Item

Oil pastel on paper of a nude woman with a dark background. 13" x 20" About the Artist: Miles Mathis is an American artist known for his nude portrait paintings and drawing of women. Born in Amarillo, Texas, he displayed early artistic talent, drawing a perspective train at age three. In his youth, he excelled in various activities, including golf, tennis, and music. He pursued liberal arts at Haverford College and later danced with a local ballet company while creating a popular comic strip. Mathis turned to art full-time after a chance encounter with the Spanish portrait painter Joaquin Torrents Llado. He began copying works of old masters in museums across Europe. Mathis's artistic journey took him from Texas to Europe, where he created diverse works across different mediums, including oil, pastel, watercolor, sculpture, and photography. He garnered attention for his unorthodox viewpoints and critiques of both the avant-garde and new realist movements. His contributions to art and science continue to provoke thought and debate, establishing him as a unique and compelling figure in the creative world.

  • “Balancing Act”
    By Nahum Tschacbasov
    Located in Southampton, NY
    Original oil pastel with underlying graphite drawing lines by the well known Russian/American artist Nahum Tschacbasov. Signed and dated by the artist lower right, 1971. Condition is excellent. Provenance: Estate of the artist, Nahum Tschacbasov. Overall matted and in a contemporary narrow blond maple frame 17.5 by 15 inches. Nahum Tschacbasov Biography : Russian-American artist Nahum Tschacbasov (1899-1984) is known for his cubo-surrealistic works which feature a strong psychological element. Some of his work bears a resemblance to work of another Russian-American artist--David Burliuk. He was somewhat of a late starter, moving to Paris in 1932 to study under Adolph Gottlieb, Marcel Gromaire and Fernand Leger. He had his first exhibition in Paris in 1934. He then returned to the US where he joined Rothko and Gottlieb at the Galery Seccession. He was one of the co-founders of The Ten, a group of social conscious abstract painters which included Rothko, Gottlieb, Joseph Solman and Ilya Bolotowsky, among others. In 1944, he began to work at Stanley Hayter's Atelier 17, a center for surrealistic ideas. Between 1936 and 1943, he had five one-man exhibitions at the ACA Galleries and participated in five group shows. He also exhibited at the Whitney, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Knox Albright Museum, the Chicago Institute of Fine Art and Corcoran, among others. His work can be found in the permanent collections of the Met, the Whitney, the Brooklyn Museum and the Jewish Museum. Tschacbasov has been the subject of two recent retrospective at Fletcher Gallery, Woodstock, NY and Arthur Kalaher...

  • Two male Nudes. Painting.Pastel, carbon pencil, ink on archival paper mounted
    By Celso José Castro Daza
    Located in Miami Beach, FL
    Two Nudes, 2016 by Celso Castro-Daza One of a kind Pastel, carbon pencil, ink on archival paper mounted on board Image size: 40.5 H in. x 55.5 in. W Mounted on acid-free board: 41 H x 56 in. W Drawing on paper is his basic work tool, some are sketches of his surviving works, others are sketches of moments he documents. ____________ Undefined by medium, Celso Castro’s works each carry the presence of the artist’s hand through the transparency of their process. Castro’s oeuvre is strongly divided between his photomontage assemblies and watercolor paintings: the prior is marked by the labor-intensive deconstruction of portrait photographs and the latter, by the seemingly frenzied recreation of a past encounter rendered in the drips and scribbles of paint and ink. Both discriminating in what they reveal of the subject, his photomontage and watercolor portraits exude raw sexuality through the combination of Castro’s mark-making and gaze. Celso Castro’s work is a bare-bulb erotic photo foray into the underbelly of Colombia’s drug world. Castro’s labor-intensive, photo-collage works of drug kingpins, smugglers, hitmen, countrymen, street vendors, soldiers, paramilitaries, kidnappers, and pimps pose showing with pride their erect penises...
