Fernando de Szyszlo Abstract Paintings
Peruvian, b. 1925
Fernando de Szyszlo Valdelomar was a Peruvian painter, sculptor, printmaker, and teacher who was a key figure in advancing abstract art in Latin America since the mid-1950s, and one of the leading plastic artists in Peru. Szyszlo was born in Lima, Peru; his mother was Peruvian of Spanish-Indian descent, and his father was a geographer from Poland. In 1943, Szyszlo entered the architecture school of the National University of Engineering, but abandoned plans to follow that profession and enrolled in the School of Plastic Arts of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru. After his graduation in 1948, he traveled to Europe where he studied the works of the masters, particularly Rembrandt, Titian and Tintoretto, and absorbed the varied influences of Cubism, Surrealism, Informalism, and abstraction. Szyszlo lived in Paris and Florence from 1948 to 1955, and then returned to Peru. While in Paris he met Octavio Paz and André Breton and was part of the group of expatriate Latin American artists and writers who met regularly at the Café de Flore, engaging in vigorous discussions on how they could participate in the international modern movement while preserving their Latin American cultural identity. Upon his return to Peru, Szyszlo became a major force for artistic renewal in his country breaking new ground by expressing a Peruvian subject matter in a non-representational style. In 1962, he became a professor of art at Cornell University. In 1965 he became a visiting lecturer at Yale University. Szyszlo was married to the Peruvian poet Blanca Varela (1926–2009), with whom he had two children. At the time of his death, he resided and worked in Lima. He died on October 9, 2017, the same day as his second wife, Lila Yábar(m.1988) in a domestic accident according to his secretary.to

"Spring Bouquet II, " Abstract Painting
By Christine Averill-Green
Located in Westport, CT
This abstracted floral painting by Christine Averill-Green is made with oil paint and gouache on gallery-wrapped canvas. It features a light, pastel palette, with varying green and pink tones applied in light, almost washy layers. The painting is wired and ready to hang.
"A play on the shapes in nature; how they change and flow," the artist says of this piece. "Ambiguous forms set against a symmetrical background. I am in awe of the tremendous energy that I see everywhere in the world. I tried to celebrate that in this painting."
Averill-Green has been exhibiting her artwork in galleries and museums in Upstate New York for over 40 years. She received her B.A. in Art and an M.S. in Art Education. Artists such as Richard Diebenkorn, Euan Eglow, Antonio Lopez Garcia, and her teachers Catherine Kehoe...
