Pierre Tal-Coat Drawings and Watercolor Paintings
French, 1905-1985
Pierre Tal-Coat (1905–1985) was a French artist considered to be one of the founders of Tachisme, a French style of abstract painting popular in the 1940s and 1950s often considered to be the European equivalent to abstract expressionism. It was part of a larger postwar movement known as Art Informel, which abandoned geometric abstraction in favor of a more intuitive form of expression, similar to action painting. He was friends with such notables as Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, Giacometti, Balthus and Artaud. In 1963 he collaborated alongside Joan Miro and Ubac in the creation of the Maeght foundation.to

"Porcupine Quill Jacket" Abstract Minimalist Portrait of a Man
By Lisa Qualls
Located in Houston, TX
Graphite and watercolor drawing on mylar of a figure dressed in a quill jacket made by the Cameroon grass fields people in Africa by Florida artist Lisa Qualls. Titled “Porcupine Quill Jacket,” the work was created as part of a series titled “Strawmen and Sugarbones” made for the "RAW" exhibition at O'Kane Gallery in 2009.
In her artist statement for this series Qualls states: “I have isolated pieces of costumes and placed them on a person who is naked in order to emphasize the relationship between the object and person, the materials and skin, the symbol and the living being. The garments and ritual objects relate to the body in specific ways and are used to explore gender roles, societal and cultural ideas, aesthetics and spirituality. The voyeuristic element of the audience to the subjects in the drawings further emphasizes the vulnerability of the figures and their introspective and intimate poses. The figures, part soft and vulnerable, part concealed and protected, live in these ambiguous spaces as they would in a vision.”
Dimensions Without Frame: H 36 in. x W 24 in.
Artist Biography: Lisa received her BFA and BA from the University of Texas at Austin. She continued her studies in Fine Art and Design at Parsons and FIT in New York, NY and CISIM in Ravenna, Italy. Her work is currently represented by Ann Connelly...
