Welded, brazed sculpture on wooden base This is not signed or dated This work is unsigned. We were told it was the work of Seymour Lipton but as there is further documentation we are selling it as attributed and cannot guarantee it as such. Seymour Lipton (1903 – 1986) was an American abstract expressionist sculptor. He was a member of the New York School who gained widespread recognition in the 1950s. He initially trained as a dentist, like fellow sculptor Herbert Ferber, receiving his degree from Columbia University in 1927. In the late 1920s, he began to explore sculpture, creating clay portraits of family members and friends. His early choices of medium changed from wood to lead and then to bronze, and he is best known for his work in metal. Like his contemporary, Abstract Expressionist Jackson Pollock, and Arshile Gorky Lipton was influenced by Carl Jung’s work on the unconscious mind and the regenerative forces of nature. He translated these two-dimensional drawings into three-dimensional maquettes that enabled him to revise his ideas before creating the final sculpture. The forms that Lipton produced during this period were often zoomorphic, exemplifying the tension between the souls of nature and the automatism of the machine. He made several technical innovations, including brazing nickel silver rods onto sheets of Monel to create rust resistant forms. Seymour Lipton is best known for his textured torch welded metal sculptures...

SALE ONE WEEK ONLY "I. Traces grotesques" is an Artist’s Proof Lithograph. “Proofs” are either pulled or printed, and the artist has the option to work out the color and quality issues as they come out of the process. The only real difference between the two is the restricted quantity of prints bearing the AP designation and not the quality of the print. This lithograph is signed and titled by the artist, Jean Dubuffet, which indicates his complete satisfaction with the print. It is from 1958 and a perfect example of his style, “Art Brut.” His idealistic approach to aesthetics embraced what is called “low art”, art by non-academically trained artists. It is sometimes referred to as “outsider art.” He did study briefly at the Academie Julian, Paris, but eventually followed his own aesthetics which eschewed traditional standard of beauty in favor of what he believed to be a more authentic and humanistic approach to image-making. This lithograph expresses the beauty he found in the meandering spontaneous black line. Jean Dubuffet began painting at the age of seventeen and studied briefly at the Academie Julian, Paris. He painted off and on for the next 20 years. It was not until 1942 in the midst of WWII in France that he began the work which has distinguished him as an outstanding innovator in postwar Europe. It is said of his work that “he looked to the margins of the everyday – the art of prisoners, psychics, the uneducated, and the institutionalized – to liberate his own creativity and coining the term ‘Art Brut’.” Art Brut is a French term that translates as ‘raw art’, to describe art such as graffiti or naïve art which is made outside the academic tradition of fine art. His paintings from the early forties in brightly colored oils were soon followed by works in which he employed such unorthodox materials as cement, plaster, tar and asphalt-scraped, craved and cut and drawn upon with a rudimentary, spontaneous line. Dubuffet worked in France and exhibited from the early forties on. He was included in the 1946 Pierre Matisse...

This magnificent original circa 1950 poster depicting the legendary ocean liner Normandie by renowned French maritime artist Albert Sébille is a superb tribute to one of the greatest achievements in twentieth-century naval engineering and French luxury. Rendered with remarkable precision, the composition portrays the iconic liner cutting powerfully through the Atlantic swell while a small fishing vessel in the foreground dramatically emphasizes the immense scale and elegance of the ship. Sébille masterfully captures both the strength and grace of the vessel, presenting Normandie as a symbol of speed, prestige and technological innovation. Launched in 1932 for the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (French Line), the Normandie quickly became the pride of the French merchant fleet. At her maiden voyage in 1935, she captured the prestigious Blue Riband for the fastest transatlantic crossing, establishing herself as the most advanced passenger liner of her generation. Her revolutionary turbo-electric propulsion, streamlined hull and luxurious interiors made her one of the greatest ocean liners ever built. Albert Sébille (1874–1953) was among France's foremost marine painters and illustrators. Celebrated for his meticulous depictions of ships, ports and naval subjects, his works combine documentary accuracy with artistic sensitivity, making them highly prized by collectors of maritime art. Unlike the highly stylized travel posters of the Art Deco period, Sébille's approach is rooted in realism. Every line of the vessel, from the graceful bow to the distinctive three funnels, is carefully rendered, reflecting both his technical understanding of naval architecture and his admiration for the engineering achievements of modern France. Although created after the ship's tragic loss during the Second World War, this image celebrates Normandie as an enduring icon of French elegance and maritime excellence. The liner continued to fascinate artists, historians and collectors long after her destruction, remaining synonymous with the golden age of transatlantic travel. Original maritime posters and prints devoted to Normandie are increasingly sought after for their historical significance and decorative appeal. They evoke an era when ocean liners represented the pinnacle of international travel, luxury and national prestige. Combining Albert Sébille's exceptional maritime artistry with the timeless legend of one of history's most celebrated ships, this original Le Normandie poster...
