It will be shipped in a 8 inches diameter heavy duty tube. About the artist: Jeffrey Long, the elder son of a commercial graphic artist at Time & Life, was born in New York City in 1948. In 1970 Long received a BFA in Illustration and Art Education from Rhode Island School of Design and had decided to be a painter. His paintings from this period were photo realistic portraits and figures set in landscapes. On graduation, he married and began teaching art in a Rhode Island public school system. From 1971 through 1973 he was a resident artist at the Rockefeller-funded Pulpit Rock Community in Woodstock, Connecticut. Works from this intensive period were representational, highly dynamic, and borrowed from the vocabulary of cartoons. In early 1974 Long moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he obtained a full scholarship at California College of Arts & Crafts (now California College of Arts). There he received an MFA in painting in 1976. He established various studios in Oakland and Emeryville, while also working as a Curatorial Assistant at The Oakland Museum. The museum brought him in touch with such California artists as Richard Diebenkorn, Elmer Bischoff, Manuel Neri, Joan Brown, Jay de Feo, Mel Ramos, Ansel Adams and Imogen Cunningham. In 1977 Long was approached by an heiress of HC Johnson Company, important patron of contemporary art. This patronage allowed Long to work full time in the studio, and funded extensive travel in Asia, where introductions were made to important artists in several countries. Long’s large format gouache on paper works from this period show the flattened space of Japanese wood block prints. In 1979 he showed these works in New Image/Bay Area, curated by George Neubert at The Oakland Museum. The same year, Long started a decade long relationship with Ivory Kimpton Gallery in San Francisco, where he staged annual solo exhibitions. At the end of 1979 he established a San Francisco studio. In gouache, then large scale oil pastel on paper and oil on canvas, Long’s landscapes were a synthesis of places experienced, rather than directly transcribed. The artist was attempting to convey the essential energy of nature in increasingly totemic and energized paintings. Many of these large scale works are now in museums throughout the United States Including San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The Oakland Museum, Crocker Museum, Sacramento, and Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. During these years Long was resident artist at the MacDowell Colony, Dorland Mountain Colony and Sacatar Foundation. Beginning in 1988, Long traveled regularly to many of the remotest parts of Africa, where he digested color and texture later to be employed in his abstract landscapes. Moving gradually in the 1990s to a more geometric, collage-layered approach, Long’s project was to bring metaphor and oblique narrative to abstraction. Reflecting on the votive offerings of gold leaf on the interior walls of Buddhist temples he had seen in Thailand, he incorporated this element into his collaged surfaces. The idea of the votive offering became a vehicle for the artist to visually address the AIDS crisis, which was killing so many of his friends. Many of the paintings portrayed light emerging from darkness. Others were chronologies listing names of the dead. Landscape was never far from the surface of these abstractions. But these were fragmented, gridded landscapes evoking a fractured paradise. In 1998 Long, together with his partner, moved to New York for three years. The artist established a studio in TriBeCa. Here he continued oil and collage works based on abstracted landscape. On returning to San Francisco in 2001, he began to introduce biomorphic shapes into a matrix of rectilinear structures, ending up with a colorful, content-free kind of abstraction. In 2003, in acquiring a ranch in rural Lake County California as a part-time residence, Long’s contact with nature was reinforced. Evidence is seen in his abstract pieces based upon orchards. Meanwhile, Long’s solo shows continued apace at galleries such as Andrea Schwartz, Fay Gold, and Toomey Tourell. Although the artist has been chiefly known for his non-representational work, he often returns to figuration and more literal landscape.

Untitled #1

Located in San Francisco, CA

This artwork "Untitled #1" is a colors monotype on Arches paper by Dutch artist Frans Horbach. It is hand signed and dated in pencil by the artist. The image (plate mark) is 19.65 x 19.65 inches, sheet size is 35.5 x 24.75 inches. It is in excellent condition, the colors are fresh and bright, has never been framed. About the artist: Born in Holland, Dutch artist Frans Horbach first visited New York when he was 17 years old, traveling on a cargo ship from Rotterdam, just as his fellow country man Willem de Kooning had done years before. Two years later he left Holland and emigrated to California. During the years that he lived and worked as a professional artist in America, one of the main sources of artistic influence came from artists belonging to what is now known as the New York school of American lyrical abstract expressionist art - Rothko, Pollock, De Kooning... He was attracted by their ideas, style of work, and more importantly, by their vital energy and uninhibited self-confidence. Horbach's work also was influenced, more subtely perhaps, by his contact with indigeneous Indian people during his journeys in the American South-West and Mexico. These encounters were a rich source of inspiration - they became integral to a philosophical framework which involved the appreciation of physical space in a poetic and artistic sense. In later years, as the result of his long-time interest in oriental art and philosophy, some of his work show a distinct affinity with the aesthetic sensibilities of traditional Japanse...
