John Diehl Art

John Diehl was trained as a classical pianist before ever picking up a brush or palette knife. That love of music permeates his art. Diehl uses landscapes as a means to express feelings rather than capture a scene. Among other emotions, he portrays joy, peace, happiness and solitude. John estimates there are 15,000 brushstrokes in each of his paintings. Diehl attended the Rhode Island School of Design and the University of Florence in Italy and currently lives in Bridgewater, Massachusetts.

Bobine
By Alexander Calder
Located in Palm Desert, CA
"Bobine" is a gouache and ink on paper by Alexander Calder. The work is signed in the lower right "Calder 72". A12922 Although renowned for his innovative and groundbreaking sculptures, Alexander Calder started his artistic career as an abstract painter, preferring to use gouache. What is gouache? Gouache is a water-soluble paint – a type of opaque watercolor. As Calder returned to gouache painting towards the end of his life, he was now armed with a lifetime of experience as a sculptor. He explored the three-dimensional vocabulary of sculptural forms he had developed onto the two-dimensional surface of the paper. Certain shapes and colors recur throughout his gouaches and sculptures. Circles, ovals, and other geometric forms dominate the space. There is the same sense of energy and fluidity.
