Judith Rothschild Art

American, 1922-1993
Judith Rothschild 1921 - New York 1– 1993 Untitled Circa 1945 Gouache, watercolor and ink with Collage on blue paper 9 x 12 inches (23 x 30.5 cm) Framed: 16 ½ x 19 ½ inches (42 x 49 cm) Provenance: The Artist The Judith Rothschild Foundation, Philadelphia Private Collection, Chicago Judith Rothschild was born in 1921 in New York City. Drawn to the visual arts early on, she pursued formal training at various New York institutions where she was encouraged to explore abstraction. Her early development reflects a blend of disciplined academic study and exposure to the radical shifts occurring in American art during the 1930s and 1940s. These years laid the foundation for her lifelong interest in nonobjective painting and her approach to structure and form as well as a commitment to abstract expressionism. By the 1950s, Rothschild’s style shifted into a distinctive mode of abstraction marked by crisp geometric shapes, vibrant colors, and refined spatial relationships. Throughout the following decades, Rothschild spent most of her time in isolation in Monterey, California, where she hoped to further develop her style away from New York City. Throughout her career, Rothschild’s work was exhibited in galleries such as Knoedler & Company, the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, and the Von der Heydt-Museum in Wuppertal, Germany. She became a trustee at the American Federation of Arts and served as a guest artist at the Pratt Institute and Rhode Island School of Design. Her art is displayed in major museums such as SFMOMA, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Centre Pompidou. This work reflects the geometric shapes and vivid colors of Rothschild’s style. The composition layers angular, interlocking forms that verge on figuration yet remain abstract, demonstrating her interest in balancing shape with geometry. Bold outlines stabilize the fragmented shapes, while her palette features a mix of blues, oranges, and neutrals. While playful with color, the sheet encapsulates significance of form that Rothschild was so dedicated to; it is from the artist’s early years during her first New York period and is reminiscent of influence by Hans Hoffman.

Mid Century French Abstract Tree Expressionist Ink Painting

Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire

Title: Mid Century French Abstract Tree Expressionist Ink Painting Medium: Black ink and wash on paper, unframed French, circa 1950's Size: 23.75 inches x 15.75 (height x width) Condition: The work is structurally sound though with visible creasing, surface rippling and age related toning throughout the sheet. There is a horizontal fold line across the centre and light edge wear consistent with storage. The ink remains bold and stable. This would benefit from professional flattening and framing. Provenance: from a large collection in Paris Description: A striking mid-century French abstract expressionist ink painting on paper, executed in bold black gestural marks with a strong sense of movement and rhythm. The composition reads as a lively field of calligraphic brushwork, with sweeping strokes, broken textures, and clustered forms that suggest foliage, energy, or a landscape fragment without becoming literal. The confident use of black against the raw paper creates a dramatic, graphic impact, making this an ideal piece for modern interiors, particularly for collectors drawn to monochrome abstraction, post-war European modernism, and expressive works on paper. In this particularly powerful example, the abstract gestures resolve into a sculptural tree form. A thick, sweeping trunk rises from the lower edge of the sheet, curving upward into branching limbs that extend dramatically across the upper half of the composition. The bold, loaded brushstrokes create dense black passages, contrasted with dry-brushed edges that reveal the speed and physicality of execution. The central mass gives the composition weight and presence, while the upward branching creates a sense of growth and vitality. The organic structure is rendered through expressive, economical mark making, aligning closely with the spirit of post-war French Art Informel and modernist landscape abstraction. This fabulous mid century original French expressionist abstract tree painting...
