MODERN STYLE

The first decades of the 20th century were a period of artistic upheaval, with modern art movements including Cubism, Surrealism, Futurism and Dadaism questioning centuries of traditional views of what art should be. Using abstraction, experimental forms and interdisciplinary techniques, painters, sculptors, photographers, printmakers and performance artists all pushed the boundaries of creative expression.

Major exhibitions, like the 1913 Armory Show in New York City — also known as the “International Exhibition of Modern Art,” in which works like the radically angular Nude Descending a Staircase by Marcel Duchamp caused a sensation — challenged the perspective of viewers and critics and heralded the arrival of modern art in the United States. But the movement’s revolutionary spirit took shape in the 19th century.

The Industrial Revolution, which ushered in new technology and cultural conditions across the world, transformed art from something mostly commissioned by the wealthy or the church to work that responded to personal experiences. The Impressionist style emerged in 1860s France with artists like Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne and Edgar Degas quickly painting works that captured moments of light and urban life. Around the same time in England, the Pre-Raphaelites, like Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, borrowed from late medieval and early Renaissance art to imbue their art with symbolism and modern ideas of beauty.

Emerging from this disruption of the artistic status quo, modern art went further in rejecting conventions and embracing innovation. The bold legacy of leading modern artists Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dalí, Henri Matisse, Joan Miró, Marc Chagall, Piet Mondrian and many others continues to inform visual culture today.

Untitled (Roi David)
Untitled (Roi David)

Untitled (Roi David)

By Marc Chagall

Located in Palo Alto, CA

Marc Chagall Untitled (Roi David), 1954 is a rare and imaginative culmination of the collaboration between Marc Chagall and the Fucina degli Angeli. This work is from the beginning of Chagall’s usage of Murano glass as a means of expression. In 1954, Chagall was invited into the Fucina degli Angeli by Egidio Costantini who was the master glass blower at the time. This stunning and mesmeric sculpture beckons the eyes through the use of vivid, bold colors that blend seamlessly together. Blue, purple, teal and hints of red coalesce in the center of the glass plate, creating the backdrop for a whimsical scene placed in the foreground. A man in a crown kneels in the center of the work, preoccupied with the string instrument delicately constructed in his hands. Gilded flecks of gold are highlighted around the crown and instrument, showing us the depth of the lyrical poet. The transparent glass allows us to follow suite of the man, becoming entranced and lost in thought. Created in 1954 in the Fucina degli Angeli in Venice, Italy, this Murano glass sculpture was realized by master glass artist Egidio Costantini (Brindisi, 1912- Venice, 1998) in collaboration Marc Chagall, (Vitebsk, 1887 – Saint-Paul, 1985). This work is inscribed ‘M. Chagall E. Costantini 1954 © Fucina degli Angeli’ on verso and is an artist proof. Catalogue Raisonné: Marc Chagall Untitled (Roi David), 1954 is fully documented and referenced in the below catalogue raisonnés and texts (copies will be enclosed as added documentation with the invoices that will accompany the sale of the work).

Located in Surfside, FL

Hand signed dM with his initials. Bears a label with his name and a title "Hippies". The pieces can be rearranged in various configurations. I believe this is wrought iron. It might be bronze. Carlos de la Mota (1924–2011) Argentine Sculptor Painter Printmaker Figurative Sculpture Argentine Modernism Premio Konex IV Bienal de São Paulo Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes Juan Carlos de la Mota (August 13, 1924 – February 12, 2011) was one of the most distinguished Argentine sculptors of the twentieth century — a figurative sculptor, painter, and printmaker whose career spanned six decades, whose work was shown at the IV Bienal de São Paulo in 1957, and who was recognized with the prestigious Premio Konex in 1982 for figurative sculpture — one of Argentina’s highest cultural honors. A member of the Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes and a faculty member at the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo and the Universidad Nacional de Tucumán, De la Mota was a central figure in Argentine modernist sculpture, working in marble, granite, stone, wood, and metal to produce a body of work rooted in the figurative tradition while engaging with the broader currents of twentieth century Latin American art. Early Life and Education Born on August 13, 1924, in the Province of San Juan, Argentina, De la Mota showed an artistic vocation from an extraordinarily early age. At just eleven years old he began attending the studio of Anita Volspranky, and later continued his studies at the Politécnico de San Juan. In 1943 he enrolled at the Escuela de Bellas Artes of the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo in Mendoza — one of Argentina’s most prestigious fine arts institutions — where he studied under Ramón Gómez Cornet, one of the great masters of Argentine figurative art and a painter whose work engaged deeply with the indigenous peoples and landscapes of northern Argentina. From Gómez Cornet, De la Mota absorbed a commitment to the figurative tradition rooted in the specific realities of Argentine culture and history. He received the Premio Universitario from the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo in 1946. Lino Enea Spilimbergo, Lorenzo Domínguez, and the Tucumán Years In 1948, De la Mota participated in the landmark project organized at the Universidad Nacional de Tucumán by Lino Enea Spilimbergo — one of the greatest Argentine painters of the twentieth century and a towering figure in Latin American modernism, who had worked alongside Diego Rivera on Mexican murals and whose influence on Argentine figurative art was immense. De la Mota’s direct association with Spilimbergo placed him at the center of the most vital intellectual and artistic milieu in mid-century Argentina. He remained at the Universidad Nacional de Tucumán from 1949 to 1952 as assistant to Lorenzo Domínguez — one of the most respected Argentine sculptors of the era — in the sculpture faculty, building a teaching career alongside his studio practice that would continue for decades. The Salón Nacional and the Argentine Art World Throughout his career, De la Mota exhibited regularly at the major Argentine national and provincial salons — the Salón Nacional de Buenos Aires, the Salón de Cuyo, the Salón Nacional de Santa Fe, the Salón Municipal de Buenos Aires, and the Fundación Lorenzutti — the annual survey exhibitions where every significant Argentine sculptor and painter exhibited simultaneously. Through these shows he was a consistent presence alongside the leading figures of Argentine modernism of his generation, including Carlos Alonso — the celebrated Argentine figurative painter and printmaker — as well as Juan Grela, Orlando Pierri, Carlos Gorriarena, and Eleodoro Marenco. His solo and group exhibitions at Galería Rubbers, Galería Palatina, and the Centro Cultural Recoleta in Buenos Aires placed him within the mainstream of the Buenos Aires gallery world across four decades. The IV Bienal de São Paulo and International Recognition In 1957, De la Mota was selected to represent Argentina at the IV Bienal de São Paulo — one of the most important international art events in the Western Hemisphere, and the Latin American equivalent of the Venice Biennale in terms of prestige. His selection placed him alongside the leading figures of Argentine and international art in an exhibition that brought together the most significant painting, sculpture, and printmaking being produced across the Latin America and Europe. European Residency and Artistic Development In 1966, De la Mota was awarded the Beca del Fondo Nacional de las Artes — the National Arts Fund Fellowship — to travel to Europe for artistic research. He resided for a period in London, immersing himself in the museums and collections of Europe and deepening his engagement with the history of sculpture from ancient Egypt and Greece through the Renaissance and Baroque periods. His early passion for Egyptian and Greek sculpture — its monumentality, its formal clarity, its engagement with the human figure — had been a defining influence from his student years, and his European sojourn gave him direct access to the greatest works of the Western sculptural tradition. Artistic Style: Figurative Sculpture in Marble, Granite, Wood, and Metal De la Mota worked primarily as a sculptor in marble, granite, stone, wood, and metal — materials he chose for their physical presence, their resistance, and their connection to the deepest traditions of the sculptor’s craft. His figurative works engage the human form with a directness and solidity rooted in the classical tradition, while his paintings and prints demonstrate an artist equally at home in two dimensions, exploring portraiture, figure study, and the rich cultural landscape of Argentine life. Works appearing at auction include La Cantante Calva (The Bald Soprano), Rostro (Face), Wenceslao, Homenaje a Van Gogh (Homage to Van Gogh), Independencia de un Solitario (Independence of a Solitary One), La Pareja (The Couple), and Antiguo Torso de Mármol Esculpido (Ancient Carved Marble Torso) — titles that suggest a painter and sculptor equally engaged with portraiture, allegory, and the tragicomic dimensions of human experience. His public commissions include work as assistant on the construction of the monument to José de San Martín and Bernardo O’Higgins in Mendoza — one of the most significant public sculptures in Argentina, honoring the two great liberators of South America. Gallery and Exhibition History De la Mota’s solo and group exhibition career spans the most prestigious venues in Argentine cultural life: the Salón Internacional de Arte at the Museo de Arte Moderno, Buenos Aires (1960); Galería Rubbers, Buenos Aires (1967) — one of the most respected galleries for Argentine modernism; the Salón de Escultura Argentina at the Fundación Lorenzutti, Buenos Aires (1975); Galería Palatina, Buenos Aires (1977, 1981, 1997); a major retrospective at the Centro Cultural Recoleta, Buenos Aires (1988); the Museo Municipal de Bellas Artes, La Plata (1990); Galería Centoira, Buenos Aires (2004); and the Fundación Alón para las Artes, Buenos Aires (2005). Awards and Honors De la Mota’s career was distinguished by an exceptional series of national prizes: Premio Universitario, Universidad Nacional de Cuyo (1946); Primer Premio de Escultura, Salón Municipal de Mendoza (1949); Tercer Premio, Salón de la Provincia de Tucumán (1952); Primer Premio, Salón Regional de la Provincia de San Juan (1954); Tercer Premio, Salón Nacional de la Provincia de Tucumán (1958); Premio Salón de Cuyo (1959); Primer Premio, Salón de la Provincia de Córdoba (1962); Premio Nacional de la Provincia de Santa Fe (1968); Premio de Grabado Antonio Berni for La Próxima Vedette (1968); Gran Premio de Honor, Salón Cinzano de Mendoza (1972); Premio Salón Nacional de Escultura (1972); Gran Premio de Honor, Salón Nacional de Santa Fe; Gran Premio de Honor, Salón Nacional de Escultura de Buenos Aires for El Abrigo de Pieles (1988); and Primer Premio, Salón Municipal de Artes Visuales, Museo Eduardo Sívori, Buenos Aires (1998). In 1982 he received the Premio Konex — Argentina’s most prestigious cultural prize — in the category of Figurative Sculpture. Teaching and Academic Career De la Mota was one of the most respected sculpture educators in Argentina. He served as assistant to Lorenzo Domínguez in the sculpture faculty at the Universidad Nacional de Tucumán (1949–1952); served as Director of Culture for the City of Mendoza (1958); in 1978 was appointed Profesor Titular (Full Professor) of Sculpture at the Facultad de Artes of the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo in Mendoza; and maintained a teaching studio in Buenos Aires throughout his later career. He was a member of the Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes — Argentina’s most distinguished art institution. Legacy Carlos de la Mota died in Buenos Aires on February 12, 2011, leaving behind a distinguished body of sculpture, painting, and printmaking that spans the full arc of Argentine modernism. A student of Gómez Cornet, a direct collaborator of Spilimbergo and Domínguez, a peer of Carlos Alonso and Juan Grela, an international exhibitor at the Bienal de São Paulo, a Premio Konex laureate, and a member of the Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes, De la Mota stands as one of the significant figures of twentieth century Argentine sculpture...

Victor Salmones Signed Bronze Bust of a Young Child

By Victor Salmones

Located in Los Angeles, CA

An untitled signed bronze sculpture by the Mexican artist, Victor Salmones (1937 - 1989) from an edition of 10. Numbered 1 of 10. Signature "Victor Salmones. 1/10" in cast. In excellent original condition. Victor Salmones (1937-1989) was the most widely known sculptor living and working in Mexico during his lifetime. His sculptures won him universal acclaim and are held in the collections of museums, corporations, cities, universities and private collectors in some 30 countries. During his career, he was highly sought after and increasingly involved in the execution of commissions for major public works around the world. Salmones developed his love and talent for creating sculpture by working with clay in high school. He attended the Instituto de Bellas Artes (Mexican National Institute of Fine Arts), where he was an apprentice to the Bauhaus master, Otto Hoffman. He was trained to use the exacting, age-old lost wax method of casting and worked principally in bronze. Hoffman's encouragement led to the opening of Victor's own sculpture workshop in Cuernavaca in 1966. In 1967, Salmones’ fluid bronze “Adam” won first prize at the Biennale Exposition of the National Museum of Modern Art. His work continued to win the highest critical acclaim at subsequent Biennale expositions, and in 1971, over hundreds of entries, his life-size bronze Narcissus...

By David CARLTON

Located in Atlanta, GA

In life, every time you do or make something you have the opportunity to make something creative and original. Take something, add to it and pass it on; that’s the creative process. The world around us is an infinite source of inspiration. My art is influenced by a combination of the styles of the Symbolist, the Surrealist, and the contemporary Realist and is the result of a compulsive motivation to make things. After several years serving in the U.S. Navy and several fits and starts with college, David graduated from Georgia State University in 1977 with a BFA concentration in sculpture. Since then he has continued to produce art in a variety of mediums including sculpture, painting, furniture, ceramics and drawing. Craftsmanship is a motivational force in all his work. Group shows David has participated in include: GA ARTISTS juried exhibit, Abernathy Arts Center May 201 1 National Juried Show, SAAG Blue Ridge GA. 201 1 , 2015 National Juried Show, SAAG Blue Ridge GA. 2010 Honorable Mention award “Simply Drawn”, Juried show Roswell Arts Center, 2010 STARBRUST; Sandy Springs, GA Best of Show, 2009 Blue Moon Brewing Co. art project, 1st place, 2008 S.

"THE MANTEL SERIES" John Glick Stoneware Objets d'Art Intimate Indoor/Outdoor

By John Glick 1

Located in Detroit, MI

SALE ONE WEEK ONLY John Glick is well-known for his beautifully rendered functional pieces of art. His decorative pieces, especially his large pots, are breathtakingly powerful objects. Glick's creative genius, however, is most exquisitely shown in this unique grouping of objets d'art. The Wall Hanging has a lovely classical scroll shelf. The objets on the shelf include an apple and pear - both fruits frequently rendered by artists from the Dutch Masters to Cezanne because of their perfectly balanced shape and rich colors. In addition is a small Greek or Roman styled dish used as an oil lamp. The other three objets are mysterious twisted tube-like organic shapes. John Glick, at one of his richest, creative bests. The objets are of various sizes, movable and can be displayed as desired. The size given is the overall size of both pieces and the objets d'art. "The works in John Glick’s “Mantel Series” are still life tableaux comprised of ordinary, yet intriguing objects that imply a history of people interacting with objects and each other over time. Imagine a lettr or poem from a loved one, once read, tucked among other fabourite things for safekeeping. Or a salty treasure carried in a dampened pocket and later deposited on a cottage shelf to dry, crackle and change. In essence, the mantels hold suggestive collections in which most people can find a part of themselves a link to a personal memory and a connection to a lost moment in time. His body of work, The Mantel Series, was partially inspired by a memory of a salt box that hung near his grandmother’s kitchen wood stove. For Glick, the unassuming little box, with its pleasing enigmatic shape and wooden lid, conjured pleasant boyhood memories, nostalgia for home and hearth, and vivid awareness of history. Upon his wall-based mantels, the artist placed a well-honed repertoire of distinct objects, all deftly crafted of clay, that become characters in his unspoken drama, each form playing off the others in the ensemble.” Plum Tree Pottery...
