Japanese Painting, Hanging Scroll, 19th Century Bamboo in Moonlight

Located in Kyoto, JP

Bamboo in moonlight Gamo Rakan (1784-1866) Hanging scroll, ink on silk. Dimensions: Scroll: 201 cm x 58 cm Image: 137 cm x 45 cm In this early 19th century work by Gamo Rakan a light ink wash applied to the silk background silhouettes the moon and suggests the atmosphere of early evening. Even though it is a literati subject, Rakan’s bamboo is quite realistic with a strong decorative style. The painting finds its inspiration from Chinese Ming dynasty painters who often used a single-tone, jet black stroke to emphasize the calligraphic nature of bamboo. In a different era, decorative would have been seen as somewhat unrefined. But increasingly in the Edo period, it was the hallmark of high style.

Surrealist Painting By Charles Oscar American Circa 1956

By Charles Oscar

Located in Hudson, NY

A rare piece to be found. Due to his early demise the number of works available by this artist are limited. His work can be found in every major collection in the United States. He was a Guggenheim Fellow, Museum of Modern Art Curator and rising Futurist Artist who was murdered in his New York apartment in 1961 when he was only 38 years old. Titled "Hypnerotomachia", the name means 'the act of falling in love in a dream'. This amazing and rare piece was created just one year after his success with exhibiting at the Venice Biennale of 1956. Semi-abstract composition and very dream like. This painting retains the original carved and gilded Hydenryk frame and has been professionally cleaned and conserved. His work can be found in every major collection in the United States.
