Grady McDonald Paintings
American, 1938-1980
Grady McDonald was a part of the Bay Area School of Abstract Expressionists. His work was often a blend of traditional Cherokee imagery with modern abstract fields of expression. About his paintings, Thomas Albright had said in the San Francisco Chronicle, on November 15, 1979, that “There is a kind of spectral presence that illumines the surface qualities of these paintings with something that is not inherent in the materials and forms alone.” Alfred Frankenstein was quoted in the San Francisco Chronicle in 1978 saying, “his (McDonald’s) imagery goes back to tribal symbols (Cherokee) and the drawings in tepees, shields and drums, all of it taken out of its literal contexts and given an extra thrust of visual meaning through abstraction.”

Carl Holty Abstract Oil Painting "Riviera" in Primary Colors
By Carl Robert Holty
Located in Detroit, MI
"Riviera" is an exquisite painting of American Modern - primary colors actively composed in energetic movement and structure on the painted surface. These colors formulate the painting, play both for and against each other and create a lively surface with hints of either an architectural structure or freeway. This painting hints to future Modernists such as Richard Diebenkorn "Driveway" and David Hockney "Garrowby." Unframed the piece measures 18 x 24.
"Riviera" is signed on lower left. On verso is Provenance of over 70 years, 3 galleries in New York and one in Detroit, Michigan: Andrew Crispo Gallery, Sid Deutsch Gallery and Linda Hyman Gallery in New York and Collected Detroit Gallery in Detroit, Michigan.
