About the Item
This undated, whimsical floral dares the viewer to find patterns, and its two-dimensional presentation evokes native and indigenous art and the printmaking that flourished among New England artists at the time, while also demonstrating Chaffee’s mastery of color, perspective, and line. The figures in this work, playful elements, feel like they are engaging one another, leaning, eavesdropping, or seeking a grip against the perspectiveless scene in which they could topple over or float away.
Oliver Chaffee was a highly influential painter who worked during the first half of the twentieth century. His bold, often experimental work presaged the art world’s journey from figurative work to modernism and abstraction. Chaffee was among the most instrumental figures in establishing Provincetown, Massachusetts, as one of the country’s most influential art colonies.

Betsy Podlach is an American painter who considers the Italian Venetians and the american abstract expressionist painters her mentors. The two painters she is most inspired by are Titian and Jackson Pollock, Both use the picture plane and abstraction and space, light, movement and form to communicate a physicality built entirely on the principals of painting, in the “classical” sense of a flat plane and lines, color, shape, space and light applied to that flat surface to create magic – light, space, form, emotion, force, movement, the physical and the spiritual. She describes her work as a figurative version of abstract expressionism. She was influenced by many of the abstract expressionists from the NY school...
