Watercolor Landscape by Byron Randall "Tacuba Series 1940"
By Byron Randall
Located in Pasadena, CA
Strong watercolor signed and dated by Randall Byron born in Tacoma, WA in 1918.
A predominantly figurative artist, Randall experimented with abstraction in the 1940s, and again in the 1980s and 1990s. Throughout his career he produced still- life, portraits, nudes and landscapes, in oil, watercolor, gouache, pastel, and print. He also developed plaster sculpture, and three-dimensional collages on the theme of the sea (a recurrent interest). Randall's concern for social justice ran across his career. It was most explicit in art from the 30s through to the 50s, such as his 1947 'Diabolical Machines' print (held in numerous museums), his Spanish Civil War painting...

"The Arno" Italian Village by the River Oil Painting by Bruce McCracken
Located in Pasadena, CA
This oil painting from the 65s by California Artist Bruce McCracken derives its title and inspiration from the mythical Arno River in Tuscany. Dividing the historic city of Florence into two distinct parts, the Arno has long captivated the collective imagination and continues to be a subject of exploration for many contemporary artists.
Set against the backdrop of the Arno's picturesque banks, the artist likely sought inspiration from the vantage point of the Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge) in Florence. The painting is divided into two distinct horizons. The upper section showcases architectural buildings poised upon a medieval arch...

Black Girl Portrait - Gouache by Max Turner
Located in Pasadena, CA
A certain enigma surrounds Max Turner: he possesses both undeniable mastery and the humility of a great artist. Endowed with musicality and vibrancy in his brushwork, he remains a man of unassuming nature, far removed from the realm of trendy art galleries. His experience as an art instructor has sharpened his acuity for studying and capturing the essence of figure models, nurtured by his lifelong fascination with the human visage.
In this gouache portrait, one can sense that with each stroke, he repeats a gesture as if it was the very first time, capturing that fleeting fraction of a second, an emotion, a secret of his subject to infuse into his canvases. One can feel the artist’s pleasure...

Black and White Lithograph of a Resting Cat by Georganne C. White
Located in Pasadena, CA
The delicacy of this lithography showcases a masterful interplay between the use of positive and negative spaces. The artist's deft hand has outlined the cat in black ink, strategically filling certain selected areas with profound blackness. The subject is probably her beloved cat named Tuffy, and the number 1 behind the work's title suggests that other studies of her cat have followed. Resting on his side, the feline's likely tabby coat gives serenity to the scene depicted. A scene approached with love, Infinite poetry, and subtle restraint.
Reminiscent of the renowned art of stenciling, popularized by the acclaimed artist Banksy, this lithograph achieves a sense of balance through its minimalist use of black against a lighter background. The artist's signature is carefully penned in pencil, as for the number of the edition. We have no personal information...

Dark gestural lines decorate the background and contrast against a disappearing white background with subtle details of grey.
