Artist’s statement:
‘Since I was a child drawing has been to me a prime channel of expression, I remember that at school I enjoyed making pictures from the incomprehensible scribbling of my classmates.
My training came at first from the late Marco Lattes, who helped me to correct gaps in my knowledge of working with watercolour. In the early 1990’s I had a close pictorial association with my friend Pierpaolo Giraudo with whom I shared a trip to the Aosta Valley in search of picturesque views.
Vertical or horizontal cuts and superimposing interplays, dismantled and dense images that look like rainbow geometries full of light and colour; which reflects its vibrancy and brilliance. Painting is for me this dreamed landscape.’to

Impressionist Painting of A Man Crossing a Street in Manhattan in the Early Morning Sunlight Colorful
Painted by William Clutz in 1987
50" X 40" x 2", oil on canvas
This figurative oil on canvas was painted in 1987 by William Clutz as part of a series of works called "Crossings". These paintings were a study of NYC dwellers engaging in the simple, daily activity of crossing the street. Clutz discovers the extraordinary in the ordinary, simply by studying how the sunlight bounces and reflects off the human form.
In New York in the early 50's and 60's,, abstract expressionism was the orthodox approach to art at the time. However, Clutz was committed to his personal style that focused on abstracted human figures within urban tableaux. Working in a context of artists who challenged abstract expressionism's popularity in New York, Clutz established himself as a significant proponent of abstract figuration. His paintings focus on human figures within the urban environment, often exposing the transfiguration of his subjects as they travel through the complex light of city streets or summer parks, as shown in two of his early works.
Clutz's interest in working from direct observation of urban life was influenced by a long-standing interest in German Expressionism, as well as artists like Henri Matisse, Arshile Gorky, and Nicholas De Stael...

"Starry Night on the Entrechaux Garden", Modern Landscape Mixed Media Painting
By Andrée de Frémont
Located in Clermont-Ferrand, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
This artwork depicts a night lanscape of the South of France. The sky is studded with golden leaves stars. The red-roofed provencal house provides a fit setting for its flowered garden, illuminated by the moonlight, figured as a large yellow beam textured with silk paper. A proliferation of shrubs and climbing flowers are tangling and occupy the space of a large squared canvas, tempered by the immutable verticality of cypresses and by a large beige field in the bottom right.
This piece is not framed.
