Modest Cuixart i Tàpies Art

Spanish
CUIXART I TÀPIES, Modest (Barcelona, 1925 - Palafrugell, Girona, 2007). He cuixart initially studied medicine, but soon abandoned his studies to devote himself to painting, and entered the Free Academy of Painting in Barcelona. In 1948 he participates in the foundation of the Dau al Set group, along with Brossa, Ponç, Tàpies and Tharrats, among others. Concerned about the artistic value of the sign, his work has from the beginning a strong relationship with surrealism and a great sensitivity to the expressive power of color. By 1955 he plunges into the material informalism, which will take you to use the "scraping" in works of some orientalizante aftertaste. In 1959 he won first prize of São Paulo Biennale and exhibited at the Documenta in Kassel, and the following year participates in an exhibition of Spanish art held at the Tate Gallery in London and the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Cuixart introduced into his work the collage in 1962, which will take you slowly towards pop-art. Enriched by all these experiences, returns to the flat paint, reaching a very personal critical realism, expressionism that synthesizes the dramatically transformed figuration, always valuing the chromatic qualities. In the seventies exhibited in numerous national and international capitals like Paris, Madrid, São Paulo, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Basel, Barcelona and Milan, among others. In the next decade, Cuixart is releasing his painting of the aggressive aspects to give a more lyrical tone. It also participates in a group exhibition at the UNESCO Palace in Paris, he received the Cross of St. George of the Generalitat of Catalonia, and the Cross of Isabel the Catholic. In 1988 a retrospective exhibition in Japan, in the cities of Kobe and Tokyo. Continues to work with exuberant colors and forms, and rejoins his work a matérica figuration. In 1998 the foundation that bears his name in Palafrugell, and the following year he was awarded the Gold Medal of Merit in the Fine Arts Ministry of Culture is created. It is represented at the National Centre de Arte Reina Sofia Museum, the Tate Gallery in London, the National Catalan Art, the Contemporary Art in Madrid, Barcelona and Saint-Etienne (France),

Spring 69

By Nancy Genn

Located in San Francisco, CA

This artwork titled "Spring 69" 1969 is an original color lithograph by American artist Nancy Genn, b. 1929. It is hand signed, titled and inscribed Artist Proof in pencil by the artist. The size is 23.75 x 34.65 inches. It is in excellent condition, it has very small marks in the back due to tape removal from previous framing, not visible from the front. About the artist: Nancy Genn is an American artist living and working in Berkeley, California known for works in a variety of media, including paintings, bronze sculpture, printmaking, and handmade paper rooted in the Japanese washi paper making tradition Her work explores geometric abstraction, non-objective form, and calligraphic mark making, and features light, landscape, water, and architecture motifs. She is influenced by her extensive travels, and Asian craft, aesthetics and spiritual traditions. Genn's first noted solo exhibition was in 1955 at Gump's Gallery in San Francisco. She received international recognition through her inclusion in French art critic Michel Tapié’s seminal text Morphologie Autre (1960), which cited her as one of the most important exponents of post-war informal art. Her abstract expressionist paintings of this period, continuing through the mid-1970s, featured all-over compositions of colorful layers of gestural brushwork and calligraphic mark making resembling asemic writing. In 1961, Genn began creating bronze sculptures using the lost-wax casting method. Influenced by noted sculptor and family friend Claire Falkenstein, who used open-formed structures in her work, Genn cast forms woven from long grape vine cuttings, and produced vessels, fountains, fire screens, a menorah, a lectern, and, notably, the Cowell Fountain (1966) at UC Santa Cruz. In 1963 her sculptural work was exhibited with Berkeley artists Peter Voulkos and Harold Paris in the influential exhibition Creative Casting curated by Paul J. Smith at the Museum of Contemporary Crafts, New York. Genn was one of the first American artists to express herself through handmade paper, first receiving wide recognition via exhibitions at Susan Caldwell Gallery, New York, beginning in 1977, and in traveling exhibitions with Robert Rauschenberg and Sam Francis. In 1978-1979, supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and Japan Creative Arts Fellowship, she studied papermaking in Japan, visiting local paper craftspeople, working in Shikenjo studio in Saitama Prefecture,[5] and exhibiting her work in Tokyo. She also learned techniques from Donald Farnsworth...
