Carl HoltyTwelfth Night Blue, Contemporary Color Field painting1962
1962
About the Item
Conceived of as one half of a diptych, together with Twelfth Night Red, the title of this painting suggest a reference to William Shakespeare’s play Twelfth Night and its main characters, twins Viola and Sebastian, tragically separated by a shipwreck. As with many of his late canvas', Holty experimented with the relationship of space and form within a two-dimensional plane working in large, soft-edged color forms, mixed and floated over chromatic stains.
This painting does not have to be purchased with its mate. It is a significant color field work by an important American abstractionist. It is from the Color Field movement in American Art.
It is in a Silvered 24 karat leafed float frame that is contemporary.
In beautiful condition ready to hang.

- Le Paysage, French sceneBy André CottavozLocated in Greenwich, CTPainted in 1961 in the south of France, Le Paysage's jewel tones and energetic, thick brushwork lure you into not a literal landscape of paint and asks you to discern it's true content. It has charm, expressiveness, abstracted content and idiosyncratic nature! A delight to hang in a smaller intimate spot. The framing is carefully done with silvered 24 karat leafing around the float area of the frame and then a wide panel to allow the viewer to focus in on the composition itself and the texture of the paint. Andre Cottavoz is very well noted artist of the French and Paris school of art...Category
