Dick Beer (b. London 1893 - d. Stockholm 1938) Portrait of Gabriele Varese (in Italian uniform), 1919 oil on canvas mounted on panel 116 x 90 cm stamp signature Exhibited: Solo exhibition, Stockholm, Nov-Dec 1917; The Royal Academy Stockholm 1973; Åmells Konsthandel – En internationell kubist, Stockholm & London 2008 Hälsinglands Museum 2011 Millesgården – Dick Beer – Impressionist & Kubist, 2012 Provenance: Within the family Beer until today Dick Beer was born in 1893 in London as Richard Beer, the youngest of five brothers. His father, John Beer (1853-1906), was a watercolourist who was born in Stockholm and had left Sweden at the age of 17. John Beer instructed his sons in drawing and painting, among other things. A number of sketchbooks bear testimony to the boys’ talent. Dick Beer’s parents died in 1906 and 1907. Barely 15 years old, Beer arrived in Sweden as an orphan. First he lived with relatives and finally he ended up at Reverend Laurell in Västergötland. Dick Beer began his artistic studies at the Althin School of Painting in Stockholm in 1908 and continued at the Royal Academy of Arts in the autumn of 1910, but in September 1912 he broke off his studies and travelled to Paris. He rented a studio and enrolled at the Colarossi and Grande Chaumière academies. In the summer of 1913, Dick Beer travelled to Pont-Aven in Bretagne in order to paint. In September the same year, he held his first solo exhibition in Stockholm which he gave the French title Exposition des tableaux de Bretagne et autour de Paris. The exhibition proved a success. Many of the paintings were executed in a light palette in a style inspired by the impressionists. In 1914, Dick Beer undertook an extensive study trip to Italy, Tunis, Morocco and Spain, which resulted in canvases overflowing with colours and light. When the French army mobilised, he volunteered and was enlisted in the French Foreign Legion. In 1915 Dick Beer sustained severe head injuries in a grenade attack, which resulted in deafness and a nervous condition that would plague him for the rest of his life. Two of his brothers died the following year, fighting for the English army. Dick Beer was hospitalised and convalesced at Château de Rochefort. Here he started painting again, in an impressionist style, a painting dominated by blue and green hues. In 1918, Dick Beer married Ruth Öhrling, a dentist, and their son John was born later in the year. During this time, Beer began experimenting with cubist painting and created several large compositions, including the painting “The Arab Café”. In the years that followed, Dick Beer was based in Paris, where he often moved house. He was instructed by André Lhote, who encouraged his students to work freely in the studio and provided them with individual critique. Beer often travelled to Bretagne or Provence. His artist friends came from all over Europe and included Amedeo Modigliani. Dick Beer exhibited fairly regularly in Paris between 1919 and 1934 and made a name for himself in French artist circles. In the summers, Ruth regularly rented a house in the countryside, often at Lake Mälaren. She kept a large house with many models and friends and there was a lot of painting and discussions. In 1933, the couple divorced but Ruth still loved Dick and continued to support him financially for the rest of his life. Dick Beer also exhibited in Sweden, albeit irregularly due to his failing health. In the 1920s and 1930s, Beer continued to pursue an expressionist painting with intense colours and unexpected perspectives, but eventually he veered towards more naturalistic forms, including a large number of nudes. He also painted several portraits of artists, politicians and writers. In 1938, Dick Beer sojourned in Arles. The budding photographer Christer Strömholm...

"Giving Up Is Not An Option" presents a visually striking composition that immediately captures the viewer's attention. The young man, painted in intricate detail, is depicted kneeling on one leg, his posture conveying both concentration and determination. His eyes are focused intently on the missing piece of the puzzle, which lies on the floor before him. The presence of the loyal dog serves as a symbol of unwavering support and companionship, providing comfort and encouragement in the face of challenges. The puzzle, with its fragmented state, represents the complexities and obstacles encountered in life, while the act of searching for the missing piece embodies the relentless pursuit of solutions and completion. "Giving Up Is Not An Option" encapsulates the message that resilience and perseverance are essential qualities in the face of adversity. The young man's kneeling position demonstrates his willingness to take a pause, reflect, and confront the challenges that lie before him. Despite the apparent difficulty, his focused gaze and determined expression convey a refusal to succumb to despair or resignation. The dog's presence symbolizes loyalty and unwavering support, serving as a reminder that we are never alone in our struggles. Alogi's artwork imparts a powerful message of resilience, urging viewers to persevere and seek solutions even when faced with the most daunting circumstances. "Giving Up Is Not An Option" is a significant piece within John Alogi's larger body of work, the "Fixing the Missing Part" series. This series explores the notion of searching for completion and resolution in various aspects of life, be it personal relationships, self-discovery, or societal challenges. Each artwork within the series presents a visual metaphor for the inherent human desire to mend what is broken or missing. Alogi's unique ability to capture the essence of these concepts through symbolism and expressive brushwork creates a deeply resonant visual experience. Alogi's artistic style showcases a fusion of realism and symbolic abstraction. His attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the young man, the dog, and the puzzle piece. The artist's mastery of light and shadow enhances the depth and three-dimensionality of the composition, while his color palette adds emotional resonance to the artwork. Alogi's ability to infuse his subjects with palpable emotions further amplifies the impact of his artwork, inviting viewers to engage on an intellectual and emotional level. John Alogi's artwork, "Giving Up Is Not An Option," serves as a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and the unwavering human spirit. As part of his "Fixing the Missing Part" series, this masterpiece invites viewers to reflect on their own capacity to confront challenges and seek solutions, even when faced with fragmented circumstances. Through Alogi's artistic expression, we are reminded that despite the complexities and uncertainties of life, we possess the inner strength and support systems to overcome obstacles. "Giving Up Is Not An Option" stands as an inspiring reminder that, like the young man in the painting, we have the ability to persevere and complete the puzzle of our lives, one missing piece at a time.
