John von Wicht Paintings
American, 1888-1970
John von Wicht John von Wicht (German American, 1888–1970) was known for his vibrant, geometric abstractions and later, more expressive compositions. Born in Malente, Germany, von Wicht began his art training at a young age, apprenticing in a painting and decorating shop and later studying lithography, stained glass, and mosaics at the Royal School of Fine and Applied Arts in Berlin. After World War I, he emigrated to the United States in 1923, where he initially worked in stained glass and mosaics. He settled in Brooklyn Heights, and quickly became involved in the American art scene. He exhibited with the American Abstract Artists group and in numerous solo shows in the 1940s, and gained some recognition. His work evolved from structured geometric abstractions to a freer, more emotive style, often inspired by the New York Harbor, where he served as a supply barge captain during World War II.to

Abstract Work on Paper Mid-Century Modernism Greek American Gouache Drawing
By Jean Xceron
Located in New York, NY
Abstract Work on Paper Mid-Century Modernism Greek American Gouache Drawing.
A modernist artist who emigrated to America from Greece in 1904, when he was fourteen years old, Jean Xceron is described as having a reputation as an artist that has mysteriously fallen into obscurity---especially since he was reportedly quite prominent during his lifetime. However, a partial explanation of that omission is the fact that many of his papers and early records have been lost. He was a painter of biomorphic abstractions and did collages, which were influenced by Dadaism.
Xceron was active in New York City when modernism was gaining influence. Of him during this period, it was written that his artistic role was "a vital link between what is commonly termed as the first-generation (the Stieglitz group, the Synchromists, etc.) and second-generation, the American Abstract Artists, the Transcendental Painting...

IInes Hildur German Artist Painter "Noir et Rouge" Mixed-Media on Wood
By Hildur Ines
Located in Paris, FR
"Art is transformation" Art is the purpose of art as love is the purpose of love.« Heinrich Heine
Ines Hildur starts her paintings intuitively, without any preconceived
programme. From the subconscious things occur, which she
cannot predetermine. The artist does not convert these inner pictures
to specific things.
With a special feeling for rhythm and through subtile color
sounds she tells about free, associative picture stories. The works
exude tranquillity, clarity and sensuality. The visible aesthetic sensitivity
has a suggestive power, which captivates the observer. If you
get involved in these pictures – in the colored moods, the symbolic,
fragile lines, symbols – they appear to be the beginning of a
story, which the observer can continue in his imagination. At the
trans-lation into the terms of language, however, something
mysterious remains, which cannot be translated.
The painter apparently leaves the processes for the creation of the
painting: color layers overlay each other, lines are covered and
released again, used papers are stuck onto the work.
The artist describes her way of painting like this: » violations at
places of change are connected, sewed, covered in a varnishing
way, shine through like under a wax layer or can still haptically be
realised. Special importance is attached to the picture passages,
which appear to be particularly successful, they support their environment
– are significant for fringe areas, however, can also lose
their function again during the working process and have to be
given up – sometimes this is quite painful like the loss of a good
friend.«
She discovers special beauty in apparently everyday things. This
can be a crumbling wall, moss between concrete slabs, traces of
transience.
Due to this special talent of perception the artist converts her
impressions to compact pictures, which sometimes remind me of
releasing layers, preserving a certain state, which could quickly
disappear: also the forms of cocoon are ambiguous, a cocoon for
wrapping something up, giving protection and security – or are
they projectiles reaching new shores?
In an environment of over-stimulation the artist wants to train our
ability of perception to see things in a new way. For several years
she has been communicating the interrelation between painting
and seeing at the private art school Wameling Richon in Baden
near Zurich. The painter and architect Ines Hildur – this is her
pseudonym – belongs to the cross-border artists, to whom one
attributes a special open view due to the different fields of
activity. Since 1991 she has intensively been occupying herself with
painting. By encountering the Berlin film-maker and painter Jürgen
Böttcher Alias Strawalde, the Vienna painter Gunter Damisch and
the artist couple Nancy Spero and Leon Golub at the renowned
Summer Academy of Fine Arts in Salzburg she received particularly
lasting ideas and stimuli.
In the meantime the artist, who presently lives in Leipzig, shows
her individual and group presentations in Germany, Austria,
Switzerland and France.
The paintings of Ines Hildur appear to be very open, they invite to
discuss about them. Perhaps it will be a dialogue between her
expectations and those aspects you can find here. You can take up
this trace if you want to come closer to the secret behind the
obvious things, which works of art always have for us.
