Paul Maxwell
Paul Maxwell was born in Frost Prairie, Arkansas, in 1925. When Maxwell was nine, the family moved to Bastrop, Louisiana, where he completed high school. Maxwell went on to graduate from Principia College in Elsah, Illinois, in 1950 with a BA in art, followed by graduate work at Claremont College in California. Maxwell was a modern artist and sculptor who developed a technique for using stencils to create thickly textured and layered surfaces, as well as objects he patented as “stencil casting” but that later became known as “Maxwell Pochoir.” He was also known for creating the “Max Wall” in the West Atrium of the Dallas Apparel Mart; although demolished in 2006, it can be seen as a backdrop in the science-fiction movie Logan’s Run. His work is highly abstract and often consists of some kind of grid — a form that is non-hierarchical and illustrates a major theme of his work. Maxwell died in 2015.

Provenance: Deaccession of Hearst Art Gallery, St. Mary's College, Moraga, California Carl Barth was a German visual artist who was born in 1896.

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).
