Charles Bell Still-life Prints
British, 1774-1842
Charles Bell was a Photorealist painter from Tulsa, Oklahoma, who was known for creating vibrant still lifes of everyday items such as pinball machines, marbles, gumball machines and vintage toys 10 times their actual size. Bell started having solo shows in New York in 1972. He also participated in group exhibitions at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the National Air and Space Museum and the Miyagi Museum of Art, among others.
While many other artists in the 1970s were experimenting with Minimalism and Conceptual Art, Bell was a member of a small group of artists who painted a reflection of iconography and capitalism in America. By using consumer objects, Bell shared similar interests with the Pop artists of the 1960s, but, like other Photorealists, he placed them in a sphere of criticism rather than praise. In his 1986 painting "The Judgement of Paris," Bell recreated the Greek myth using Barbie and Ken dolls and a G.I. Joe figure, as well as other toys. This work is close in size to Peter Paul Rubens’ "The Judgement of Paris," which is almost 13 feet long.
Bell died in New York in 1995.to

“Yellow Tulips” is part of the famous flower painting series by Alex Katz. The aesthetics of flowers such as flags, tulips, and roses has been continuously explored by the artist throughout his career.
"I generally start with oil sketches, because I can paint more quickly than I can draw. In this way I try to capture the sensation of what I’m doing, getting into the unconscious and creating the images, and then figuring out what I did." — Alex Katz
Katz has been painting flowers since the 1960s, often during his summer residencies in Maine. The cropped, flattened composition displays a debt to Japanese woodblock art printing. The American artist is well-known for his large paintings, whose bold simplicity and unmodulated colours are now seen as precursors of Pop Art.
"Yellow Tulips" is another of Katz's wonderfully bright exploration of nature and the landscape. He represents the volumes and colors created by the natural light, this artwork breathes nature, the radiant yellow delights the vision against the limitless black background.
The painting “Tulips 4” which this edition is based on belongs to the Collection of Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
