Portrait of Woman in Red Dress - Figurative Study
Watercolor and gouache figurative study of a woman in a red dress by Bay area artist (possibly) Ellen Brown circa 1930-50. The woman is poised, sitting on a brown lounge chair, a cigarette is lit in her left hand, while she leans on her right. The woman has short blonde hair, which portrays a 1920's finger woven style. She is dressed in an elegant red dress draped over her body, a white tie around her waist, and thick jewels around her neck and wrist. A vase of white daisies is pictured on the ground next to the chair, contrasting the green and black background.

- Girl at the Beach with wide Brim HatBy Bernie FuchsLocated in Miami, FLWonderful 60's chic is on full display in this beach scene. It's masterfully designed. The beautiful model horizontally fills the center space while supporting players fill background spaces. The style is very flat with lots of gray muting the colors and defining the artist's palette. Fuch's was a giant talent who is overlooked by today's art world participants. His style could be described as a post-post impressionist. This particular work is so deftly designed and exhibits the most intriguing positive and negative spaces. The model is rendered with loose, quick and authoritative brush strokes which give an air of chic confidence. Most of all, it's her dreamy blue eyes that truly captivate the viewer. All parts of the eye ( Iris, Pupil, Sclera ) are composed of a soft robin's egg blue which is in counterpoint the pink day-glow color on her lips. She looks at you. You look back and the process is repeated and repeated. Fuch's not just a great painter, designer, academic artist but a brilliant and innovative colorist as well. To demonstrate how great this simple work is, out of a world population of 7.2 billion people, as a betting man, I would say there may be no other artist who could render a scene this good. An artist such as Peter Doig, who does nice and beautiful work, may come close to the talent of Fuchs. Bernard Fuchs American, 1932 - 2009 Girl at the Beach...Category
