ABSTRACT STYLE

Beginning in the early 20th century, abstract art became a leading style of modernism. Rather than portray the world in a way that represented reality, as had been the dominating style of Western art in the previous centuries, abstract paintings, prints and sculptures are marked by a shift to geometric forms, gestural shapes and experimentation with color to express ideas, subject matter and scenes.

Although abstract art flourished in the early 1900s, propelled by movements like Fauvism and Cubism, it was rooted in the 19th century. In the 1840s, J.M.W. Turner emphasized light and motion for atmospheric paintings in which concrete details were blurred, and Paul Cézanne challenged traditional expectations of perspective in the 1890s.

Some of the earliest abstract artists — Wassily Kandinsky and Hilma af Klint — expanded on these breakthroughs while using vivid colors and forms to channel spiritual concepts. Painter Piet Mondrian, a Dutch pioneer of the art movement, explored geometric abstraction partly owing to his belief in Theosophy, which is grounded in a search for higher spiritual truths and embraces philosophers of the Renaissance period and medieval mystics. Black Square, a daringly simple 1913 work by Russian artist Kazimir Malevich, was a watershed statement on creating art that was free “from the dead weight of the real world,” as he later wrote.

Surrealism in the 1920s, led by artists such as Salvador Dalí, Meret Oppenheim and others, saw painters creating abstract pieces in order to connect to the subconscious. When Abstract Expressionism emerged in New York during the mid-20th century, it similarly centered on the process of creation, in which Helen Frankenthaler’s expressive “soak-stain” technique, Jackson Pollock’s drips of paint, and Mark Rothko’s planes of color were a radical new type of abstraction.

Conceptual art, Pop art, Hard-Edge painting and many other movements offered fresh approaches to abstraction that continued into the 21st century, with major contemporary artists now exploring it, including Anish Kapoor, Mark Bradford, El Anatsui and Julie Mehretu.

Pierre Soulages, Original Stone Lithograph n¨28 by Mourlot, Paris 1970, Signed
Located in Pasadena, CA
Pierre Soulages Lithographie sur papier Papier: 12.25 x 9.5in Cat Bnf n° 76 Signée au dos a droite, datée 70. Provenance : Collection privée Épreuve parue dans le n. 34 de la revue XXe Siècle. Mourlot, Paris, imprimeur ; XXe Siècle, Paris, éditeur. About Pierre Soulages : Pierre Soulages est né le 24 décembre 1919 à Rodez et décédé le mardi 25 octobre 2022 à l’âge de 102 ans. Il a été inhumé le vendredi 4 novembre au cimetière Montparnasse. Très jeune il est attiré par l’art roman et la préhistoire. Il commence à peindre dans cette province isolée que n’ont pas pénétré les courants artistiques contemporains. À 18 ans, il se rend à Paris pour préparer le professorat de dessin et le concours d’entrée à l’École Nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts. Il y est admis mais convaincu de la médiocrité de l’enseignement qu’on y reçoit refuse d’y entrer et repart aussitôt pour Rodez. Pendant ce bref séjour à Paris il fréquente le musée du Louvre, il voit des expositions de Cézanne et Picasso qui sont pour lui des révélations. Mobilisé en 1940,il sera démobilisé en 1941. Paris occupé, il se rend à Montpellier et fréquente assidûment le musée Fabre. Montpellier à son tour occupé, commence pour lui une période de clandestinité pour échapper au STO pendant laquelle il ne peint plus. Ce n’est qu’en 1946 qu’il peut consacrer tout son temps à la peinture. Il s’installe alors dans la banlieue parisienne. Ses toiles où le noir domine sont abstraites et sombres. Elles sont aussitôt remarquées tant elles diffèrent de la peinture demi-figurative et très colorée de l’après-guerre. Il trouve un atelier à Paris, rue Schoelcher, près de Montparnasse. En 1948, il participe à des expositions à Paris et en Europe, notamment à « Französische abstrakte malerei » dans plusieurs musées allemands. Il est de beaucoup le plus jeune de ce petit groupe de peintres où se trouvent les premiers maîtres de l’art abstrait, Kupka, Domela, Herbin, etc. L’affiche est faite avec une de ses peintures en noir et blanc. 1949, exposition personnelle à Paris, galerie Lydia...

Vintage Galerie Alexandre Iolas Ballads Poster William Copley CPLY Mourlot Litho
Located in Surfside, FL
Ballads Galerie Alexandre Iolas Poster by William N. Copley (CPLY) New-York, Geneve, Milan, Paris 196, Boulevard Saint-Germain William Nelson Copley (January 24, 1919 – May 7, 1996) also known as CPLY, was an American painter, writer, gallerist, collector, patron, publisher and art entrepreneur. His works as an artist have been classified as late Surrealist and precursory to Pop Art. William N. Copley was born in New York City in 1919 to parents John and Flora Lodwell; they died shortly after in the 1919 Spanish Flu epidemic. Copley was adopted in 1921 by Ira C. Copley, the owner of sixteen newspaper companies in Chicago and San Diego. Copley was ten years old whereby the family moved to Coronado Island, California. Copley was sent to Phillips Andover and then Yale University by his adopted parents. He was drafted in the Second World War in the middle of his education at Yale, a decision negotiated by the school and the army. Copley experimented with politics upon returning home from the war, working as a reporter for his father's newspaper. By 1946, Copley met and married Marjorie Doris Wead, the daughter of a test pilot for the Navy. Doris's sister was married to John Ployardt, a Canadian-born animator and narrator at Walt Disney Studios. Copley and Ployardt soon became friends and Ployardt began introducing Copley to painting and Surrealism. The two traveled to Mexico and New York, discovering art, meeting the artists behind the works, and grasping Surrealist ideas. It was during this time that Copley and Ployardt decided to open a gallery in Los Angeles to exhibit Surrealist works. Copley and Ployardt tracked down Man Ray while living in Los Angeles. Ray then introduced them to Marcel Duchamp in New York City. There, Duchamp opened many doors for them, introducing the two to New York dealers in Surrealism. In 1948, Copley and Ployardt opened The Copley Galleries in Beverly Hills, displaying works by artists including René Magritte, Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy, Roberto Matta, Joseph Cornell, and Man Ray. Copley moved to Paris in 1949–50, leaving behind his wife and two children to continue to paint. During his time in Paris, he remained in Surrealist circles and continued to paint with a uniquely American style. Copley's first exhibition took place in Los Angeles in 1951 at Royer's Book Shop. From there Copley participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions worldwide. In 1961, Copley was given an exhibition in Amsterdam by the Stedelijk Museum. The museum became the first public institution to add a Copley to their collection. Copley's paintings throughout the 1950s and 60s dealt with ironic and humorous images of stereotypical American symbols like the Western saloon, cowboys, and pin-up girls combined with flags. His works during this period were often considered a combination of American and Mexican folk art and melded in well with the new young POP movement occurring in America when he returned to New York in the 1960s. Artists like Andy Warhol, Christo, Roy Lichtenstein and many others were frequent visitors at Copley's studio on Lower Broadway. Copley believed that pop art had always interested him, claiming American pop art had much to do with "self-disgust" and "satire." In 1967, after a divorce with his second wife, Noma, Copley and new friend Dmitri Petrov decided to publish portfolios of 20th-century artist collaborations with the abbreviation SMS (for "Shit Must Stop"). Copley's Upper West Side loft became a meeting place for performers, artists, curators, and composers to work together on the open-ended collective. The SMS portfolio...
