Jane Tate Abstract Paintings

American, b. 1930
Jane Tate was born on November 6, 1930. In her younger years, she learned design and metal fabricating from her sister and went on to produce jewelry and furniture for retail as well as display in competitive shows. In 1952 she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in art education and applied art from the University of Texas, Austin. During this time, she worked as an assistant to the painter and education chairman, Kelly Fearing. After graduating, Tate worked with the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston both teaching art classes for children as well as lecturing adult docents on art history, painting analysis, and artist biographies. In 1955 she helped found the craft store “Handmakers” in Houston, TX and created various garden sculptures and furniture for over 10 years. In the 1970s, Tate moved to Taos, NM and eventually was tutored by Sterling Ohlinger from 1978 to 1988. During her time in New Mexico, she concentrated on plein-aire landscapes near her studio. In 2006 she moved to Olymia, WA where she still lives. Her work can now be found in many public and private collections around the world. On her process Tate states, “I begin with working visions, dreams, memories, photo images (at rare times), occasional requests from others, and on the spot observations as in “plain-aíre” painting, combinations of the above, plus a life size plan of the picture using same basic design in drawing and / or watercolor; but with no lines in the painting.”

Walpi #4 Watercolor Mixed Media Landscape, Semi-Abstract, 20th Century

Located in Denver, CO

Walpi #4 is an original semi-abstract Southwestern landscape by German-American modernist Bert Van Bork (1928–2014). Executed in watercolor and mixed media, this intimate yet powerful composition captures the dramatic beauty of a Native American pueblo village atop First Mesa, Arizona—an area long associated with the Hopi people and their enduring cultural heritage. With a vibrant palette of deep blues, luminous yellows, warm oranges, and expressive pinks, Van Bork transforms adobe structures and desert sky into a dynamic interplay of color and form. The semi-abstract treatment merges architectural geometry with expressive linework, reflecting both the grandeur of the Southwestern landscape and the spiritual resonance of the land. His reverence for Native American culture is evident in the sensitive balance between abstraction and representation. The artwork is presented in a custom white frame with archival mounting materials and UV-protective glass for long-term preservation. Framed dimensions measure 8 ½ x 10 ½ x ½ inches, with an image size of 4 ¾ x 7 inches—an ideal scale for collectors of refined works on paper or thoughtfully curated salon-style installations. Provenance: Estate of Bert Van Bork, Evanston, Illinois. Van Bork was born in Germany and trained in Berlin under Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, a founding member of Die Brücke. He was active in the post-war German art scene before immigrating to the United States in 1954. In addition to his achievements as a painter and printmaker, he gained international recognition for his documentary filmmaking, including the Academy Award–nominated EyeWitness The Legacy of Death Camp Art...
