Ross H. Pollette Art

Ross H. Pollette is a designer and author from San Francisco, California. Pollette writes under the pseudonyms, Max West and Ross X. He frequently designs the covers for his books. He describes himself as a designer, writer, composer, former CEO of Max West Enterprises who lives and works in San Francisco, California. He likes raising carnivorous plants, beer and cast metal sculptures. He has been in wars, but doesn't approve of them; is against time and 'consensus reality', is for creativity and human dignity. Talking about his life’s choices, he says, “Choosing 'art' as a life course isn't as much fun as fighting a giant squid with a harpoon or going to an alternate reality and killing your parents but by the time I got here all the good jobs were taken, and signs off as  Love, Max West and Ross X (split personalities of R.H. Pollette).”

News Update 2
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"News Update" by Abiodun Nafiu Azeez is a captivating artwork that portrays a group of people, some of whom are holding newspapers. Through this piece, Azeez skillfully explores the relationship between media and society. The juxtaposition of individuals reading newspapers in a group setting speaks to the shared experiences and conversations that news can generate among people. Azeez's work invites viewers to reflect on the influence of media in shaping our collective understanding of the world. The piece beautifully captures the essence of interconnectedness and the power of information in our lives. Shipping Procedure Ships in a well-protected tube from Nigeria This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy.

"Manhattan Night Life"
By Vaclav Vytlacil
Located in Lambertville, NJ
Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork by: Vaclav Vytlacil (1892-1984) He was born to Czechoslovakian parents in 1892 in New York City. Living in Chicago as a youth, he took classes at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, returning to New York when he was 20. From 1913 to 1916, he enjoyed a scholarship from the Art Students League, and worked with John C. Johansen (a portraitist whose expressive style resembled that of John Singer Sargent), and Anders Zorn. He accepted a teaching position at the Minneapolis School of Art in 1916, remaining there until 1921. This enabled him to travel to Europe to study Cézanne’s paintings and works of the Old Masters. He traveled to Paris, Prague, Dresden, Berlin, and Munich seeking the works of Titian, Cranach, Rembrandt, Veronese, and Holbein, which gave him new perspective. Vytlacil studied at the Royal Academy of Art in Munich, settling there in 1921. Fellow students were Ernest Thurn and Worth Ryder, who introduced him to famous abstractionist Hans Hofmann. He worked with Hofmann from about 1922 to 1926, as a student and teaching assistant. During the summer of 1928, after returning to the United States, Vytlacil gave lectures at the University of California, Berkeley, on modern European art. Soon thereafter, he became a member of the Art Students League faculty. After one year, he returned to Europe and successfully persuaded Hofmann to teach at the League as well. He spent about six years in Europe, studying the works of Matisse, Picasso, and Dufy. In 1935, he returned to New York and became a co-founder of the American Abstract Artists group in 1936. He later had teaching posts at Queens College in New York; the College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, California; Black Mountain College in North Carolina; and the Art Students League. His paintings exhibit a clear inclination toward modernism. His still lives and interiors from the 1920s indicate an understanding of the art of Cézanne. In the 1930s, his works displayed two very different kinds of art at the same time. His cityscapes and landscapes combine Cubist-inspired spatial concerns with an expressionistic approach to line and color. Vytlacil also used old wood, metal, cork, and string in constructions, influenced by his friend and former student, Rupert Turnbull. He eventually ceased creating constructions as he considered them too limiting. The spatial challenges of painting were still his preference. During the 1940s and 1950s, his works indicated a sense of spontaneity not felt in his earlier work. He married Elizabeth Foster in Florence, Italy, in 1927 and they lived and worked in Positano, Italy for extended periods of time. Later on, they divided their time between homes in Sparkill, New York and Chilmark, Massachusetts, where Vyt, as he was affectionately called, taught at the Martha's Vineyard Art...
