Idelle Weber Paintings

American, 1932-1932
Idelle Weber (1932–2020) was an American painter whose work spans Pop art, Photorealism, and a distinctive late period devoted to landscape. Based in New York for much of her career, Weber emerged in the early 1960s with Pop-inflected paintings that employed the visual language of silhouette and graphic reduction. By the late 1960s and 1970s, she shifted toward Photorealism, producing tightly composed paintings derived from photographic sources and focused on urban details, still-life motifs, and the material residue of city life, often in the absence of human figures. In the 1990s, Weber developed a sustained body of landscape paintings that marked a significant evolution in her practice. These works turn away from the city toward rural and coastal settings, translating observed landscapes into carefully structured compositions that retain her long-standing commitment to clarity, precision, and formal control. While grounded in direct observation, the paintings are not atmospheric or expressive in a traditional sense; instead, they reflect Weber’s continued interest in surface, spatial organization, and the act of looking itself. The landscapes are often spare and quietly rigorous, emphasizing horizon lines, terrain, and natural forms without narrative or sentimentality. Throughout her career, Weber maintained a consistent analytical approach to painting, regardless of subject. Her work is held in major public collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Harvard Art Museums, and the Yale University Art Gallery. These collections attest to her lasting significance within postwar American art and to the continued reevaluation of her later work, including the landscapes of the 1990s.

Echo - Monochromatic Scene, Ladder and Doors in Muted Gray, Original Oil, Framed

By John Seubert

Located in Chicago, IL

A ladder and several doors seemingly float in air while a full moon illuminates this surreal scene. "Echo" is painted in muted shades of grey bringing a melancholy to the overall aesthetic. The original oil painting is framed in a repurposed frame that the artist has distressed and painted. It measures 24h x 30w inches. John Seubert Echo, 2023 oil on canvas 16h x 20w in 40.64h x 50.80w cm JSE077 John Seubert b. 1958, Chicago, IL In the early Nineties, John Seubert was living in a former hotel in a high-rise building on St. James Place in Chicago. The apartment was tiny, as hotel rooms tend to be, and clad with paper-thin walls allowing sound to pass from one apartment to the other. At the time, John’s artwork consisted of pounding copper sheets into tables which was a noisy endeavor to say the least. Following several noise complaints from the neighbors, John had a dream that he was living in a ramshackle house but with plenty of room to work and no attached neighbors. The following day after lunching at the McDonalds in Lincoln Park, John wandered the neighborhood a came upon a shabby, falling-down old Victorian house. He located the real estate agent, put in an offer, and weeks later was pushing a shopping cart full of his belongings to his new home. This 144-year-old Painted Lady provided a blank canvas for this inimitable artist. For many years the house remained so empty that John was able to ride his Japanese fold up bike throughout the 1st floor. “Some people want to have sex...
