Ron Blumberg Abstract Paintings
American, 1908-2002
Rob Blumberg was an accomplished artist who painted in a dizzying variety of styles, including Impressionism, Postimpressionism, Surrealism, Futurism, Expressionism and abstraction. Across these distinctive changes that took place throughout his career, his work consistently possessed a vibrant and passionate glow.
Blumberg was born in Reading, Pennsylvania, in 1908. He studied at the National Academy of Design in New York City, the Art Students League of New York and the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris. In 1932, he moved back to New York, where he became a National Academy artist and a member of the Art Students League of New York.
Blumberg moved to California in 1940. In 1950, he opened a prominent private art school in Westwood, Los Angeles. In support of a California statute that granted royalties to artists from profits on resales of their work, he co-founded the grassroots group Artists for Economic Action. As its chairman, he worked closely with state legislators to bring California to the forefront of promoting artists’ rights.
Blumberg’s most prolific period was from 1947 to 1951. Often referred to as his “psychological period,” he delved into many different modernist styles. After 1952, he favored a palette knife over a paintbrush for creating his art. He died in 2002.
Blumberg’s works are part of the permanent collections of major museums, including the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, DC, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Surrealist Acrylic Painting on Fabriano Paper, Stacked Sheep and Green Eclipse
By Gozo
Located in FISTERRA, ES
Surrealist acrylic painting on paper featuring stacked sheep and a glowing green eclipse, created in 2024 by the Galician-based Gozo Collective. This original work blends figurative surrealism with visual poetry, portraying a quiet pastoral landscape transformed into a cosmic allegory. Three stylized sheep are stacked vertically at the center of the composition, their forms silhouetted against a gradient horizon in luminous tones of emerald, jade, and turquoise. The uppermost figure aligns with a radiant green halo, creating a fictional eclipse that blurs the boundary between celestial and terrestrial realms.
Painted with acrylic and spray paint on 400gsm Fabriano paper, the surface reveals a subtle misty texture achieved through layering and controlled dispersion. The result is both humorous and meditative, echoing themes of absurdity, gravity, and harmony.
This surrealist painting is unframed and ships flat in a protective sleeve, making it ideal for collectors seeking unique, biophilic, and symbolic artwork with a strong visual impact.

Contemporary Dream Landscape with Stylized Animal Motif Dancing Bears at Dusk
By Gozo
Located in FISTERRA, ES
Dancing Bears at Dusk is a contemporary acrylic painting on premium 400gsm Fabriano paper by Gozo Collective, blending nature-inspired abstraction with surrealist minimalism. The composition presents a series of stylized bear figures engaged in an enigmatic dance beneath a luminous, gradient sky shifting from deep crimson to violet and cobalt blue. The minimalist horizon, rendered in layered shades of cool blue, evokes a meditative sense of space while amplifying the dreamlike atmosphere.
This work explores the intersection of biophilia, symbolic narrative, and contemporary landscape painting. The silhouetted animal forms—poised between figuration and abstraction—recall ancient rituals, collective memory, and the human longing for connection and joy. The saturated chromatic contrasts create a dynamic visual tension, while the soft atmospheric transitions invite a contemplative viewing experience.
Executed with precision and painterly restraint, the piece embodies Gozo Collective’s signature approach: poetic compositions that merge emotional resonance with formal clarity. Suitable for both contemporary interiors and curated art collections, it can be displayed unframed for a raw, modern presence or framed to enhance its depth and vibrancy.
