Hannes Grosse Abstract Paintings

German, b. 1932
Hannes Grosse studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 1955 to 1959. He worked and lived in Paris, Mexico City, and New York, among others. Today, he resides in Manson's Landing in Canada, British Columbia. Hannes Grosse is considered one of the well-known German artists of the 1960s and 1970s. He is a representative of Hard-Edge painting, known for his wavelike works. Additionally, he created three-dimensional wavelike objects/sculptures for landscapes and gardens. "The means I use are color and form; color in progression, yet sharply separated, form reduced to a basic scheme, color and form moving towards each other, simultaneously forming a structure that unifies the image or object. Essential is the balance, combining the constructive with the organic, harmonizing color with form, making the composition a unity, maintaining movement yet anchoring it at a certain point." Hannes Grosse Born in 1932 in Berlin. Studied in Munich and Paris. First traveled to New York in 1964, followed by longer stays in 1966 and 1967. Received the Painting Prize of the Free State of Bavaria in 1969. Solo exhibitions since 1964 in Munich, Zurich, Schwenningen, Bad Godesberg, Frankfurt, and recently in the series '14 x 14' at the State Art Hall, Baden-Baden, and the Forum Galerie van de Loo, Munich, 1969. Participated in exhibitions of the German Artists' Association and the 6th Biennale in San Marino, and 'Alternative Attuali', L'Aquila. Lives in Oberammergau. Bibliographical Note: Jürgen Claus Hannes Grosse, Leaflet of Galerie Nickel, Bad Godesberg, 1968. Each statement should be the conclusion of numerous experiences, each image a carrier of a complex reality. The artistic statement, whatever form it may take today, requires more than just a spontaneous impulse, a gesture; it also requires more than just construction, movement, or idea. The artistic product is the result of our relationships with realities, a combination of technical and mental data transforming into an optical phenomenon. For every artist, there are overarching concepts that determine the design and lead to a specific direction. As a result of these concepts, the image becomes a composition that still forms a unity. The image or object should contain the whole in detail—it is the fixation of a point within a movable, infinite structure.

Large Venezuelan Modernist Abstract Oil Painting Machu Picchu Marius Sznajderman

By Marius Sznajderman

Located in Surfside, FL

Marius Sznajderman Hand signed and dated lower right, with an inscription on the verso 40 X 30 inches Oil or acrylic on canvas. Machu Picchu is an Incan citadel set high in the Andes Mountains in Peru, above the Urubamba River valley. Built in the 15th century and later abandoned. The lost city of the Incas. Expressively capturing the mystique of the famed Incan ruins, this 1983 exprerssionist painting by Marius Sznajderman, titled Machu Picchu Courtyard, showcases his signature blend of bold color and dynamic brushwork. The composition features a stylized interpretation of Machu Picchu's verdant landscape and ancient stone structures, rendered in an abstracted yet recognizable form. Sznajderman's use of undulating greens, deep blues, and earthy tones imbues the work with an almost dreamlike quality, emphasizing the spiritual and historical significance of the site. Marius Sznajderman was a French-born American painter, printmaker, and scenic designer. Born in Paris in 1926 to Polish-Jewish parents, he fled Nazi-occupied France in 1942, eventually settling in Caracas, Venezuela. There, he studied at the School of Fine Arts and co-founded the Taller Libre de Arte, an influential experimental art workshop. In 1949, he immigrated to the United States, earning both Bachelor and Master of Fine Arts degrees from Columbia University. Over his extensive career, Sznajderman explored themes ranging from Latin American culture to Jewish heritage, with his works held in numerous public collections, including the Smithsonian Institution and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Artist: Marius Sznajderman (French-American, 1926-2018) Issued: 1983 Dimensions: 41"L x 31"H Country of Origin: France/United States Marius Sznajderman was a Jewish Venezuelan painter, printmaker and scenic designer living and working in the United States. Born in Paris, France in 1926 his Jewish parents had migrated to France from Poland in 1923. In November 1942 the family fled Nazi-occupied France for Spain before settling in Caracas, Venezuela. He attended the School of Fine Arts in Caracas where his teachers included illustrator Ramon Martin Durban, scenic designer Charles Ventrillon-Horber and painter Rafael Monasterios. and immigrated to the United States in 1949, where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Fine Arts from Columbia University in New York. He settled in Hackensack, New Jersey, where he lived and had a studio for more than 50 years before moving to Amherst, Massachusetts in 2015. His work, which includes painting, prints and collages, as well as set designs, is in more than 45 museum and public institution collections in the United States, Latin America and Israel. He held more than 40 solo exhibitions at galleries and museums and participated in more than 75 group shows around the globe. He helped found the Taller Libre de Arte, an experimental workshop for the visual arts, sponsored by the Ministry of Education. The Taller Libre de Arte was a center for young artists to work and to meet with critics and intellectuals to discuss avant-garde ideas and artistic trends from Europe and Latin America. Among the notable artists who participated in the Taller Libre de Arte were Ramón Vásquez Brito, Carlos González Bogen, Luis Guevara Moreno, Mateo Manaure, Virgilio Trómpiz...
