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.

Paris Café Terrace Scene Oil Painting European Post-Impressionist Figurative Art
Paris Café Terrace Scene Oil Painting European Post-Impressionist Figurative Art

Paris Café Terrace Scene Oil Painting European Post-Impressionist Figurative Art

By ANGEL BADIA CAMPS

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Title: Paris Café Terrace Scene Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 38 × 46 cm (14.96 × 18.11 in) Framing: Unframed Signature: Hand-signed lower right Period: Second half of the 20th century Condition: Very good. Firm canvas, stable paint layer, visible impasto, no apparent restorations. Origin: Spain Original oil painting depicting a lively Parisian café terrace scene, rendered with a luminous and expressive brushstroke. The composition captures a moment of everyday urban life: seated figures, soft conversation, café signage and filtered daylight dissolving into architectural shadows. The artist prioritizes atmosphere over strict detail, allowing the scene to breathe through fluid impasto and subtle tonal transitions. The chromatic palette balances cool bluish greys and whites with warmer accents, creating depth and visual rhythm. The treatment of figures and light evokes European post-impressionist tradition, combining figurative clarity with painterly spontaneity. A refined decorative piece with strong interior presence, ideal for collectors of European figurative art, lovers of Parisian imagery, or elegant contemporary interiors seeking warmth and narrative. Àngel Badia i Camps (Puig-reig, Barcelona, 1929 – Barcelona, 2019) was a Catalan painter, illustrator and comic artist trained at the Barcelona School of Fine Arts. During the 1950s and 1960s he worked extensively as an illustrator for European and British publishers, developing a strong command of the human figure and narrative composition. From the 1970s onward he focused primarily on fine art painting, producing figurative works centered on urban scenes, landscapes and everyday life. His work was exhibited in Spanish and international galleries, consolidating his position within the Catalan figurative tradition of the second half of the 20th century. Paris café painting...

Head to Sea, Modernist sailing scene

Head to Sea, Modernist sailing scene

By Ralph Eugene Della-Volpe

Located in New York, NY

A vibrant and yet romantic sailing scene which was a favorite series by Della-Volpe. His compelling colorist approach has made his works desirable as he was one of the few artists post-war to be representative in style like Milton Avery and Wolf Kahn. Head to Sea has the hallmark intense and lovely coloration for which Della-Volpe is known. He came out of Abstract Expressionism in the New York school but then pivoted, like Milton Avery to representational, colorist work. The frame is a silvered gold leaf float frame of quality and has a rubbed, antiqued surface...

Eugene Caples "Bronze Sculpture II" Abstract Bronze Sculpture

By Eugene Caples

Located in Detroit, MI

This small exquisite "Bronze Sculpture II" is in excellent condition and a perfect example of Eugene Caples craftsmanship. This is mainly abstract with some graphic or architectural elements and is so delightful that mythical creatures demand to be considered. It cries out to be touched and held, looked at and caressed. The beautiful patina on the surface gives voice to the many hands that have done these things. Eugene Caples is a designer and craftsman who worked in Kansas City in the 1960s and later through the early 21st century. He attended the Kansas City Art Institute, earning his Bachelors of Fine Arts in Industrial Design in 1959. In 1963 he was accepted to Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. The Cranbrook Academy of Art was designed by architect and faculty member, Eliel Saarinen who collaborated with Charles and Ray Eames on chair and furniture design. Numerous creative artists are alumni of Cranbrook and include: Harry Bertoia, Florence Knoll, Jack Lenor Larsen, Donald...
