Modern Contemporary Art
MODERN STYLE
The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”
Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.
Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chair — crafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.
It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.

André Derain Framed 'The Small Harbour' Color Lithography, circa 1970
By André Derain
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Original 'The small harbour' color lithograph by André Derain.
Lithograph printed from an original painting made by the author in France, circa 1951.
Published by Mourlot in Collection Pierre Levy in 1970, Paris.
Framed and signed in the stone.
In good original condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina.
About the Artist:
André Derain (10 June 1880 – 8 September 1954) was a French artist, painter, sculptor and co-founder of Fauvism with Henri Matisse.
Derain and Matisse worked together through the summer of 1905 in the Mediterranean village of Collioure and later that year displayed their highly innovative paintings at the Salon d'Automne. The vivid, unnatural colors led the critic Louis Vauxcelles to derisively dub their works as les Fauves, or "the wild beasts", marking the start of the Fauvist movement. In March 1906, the noted art dealer Ambroise Vollard sent Derain to London to produce a series of paintings with the city as subject. In 30 paintings (29 of which are still extant), Derain presented a portrait of London that was radically different from anything done by previous painters of the city such as Whistler or Monet. With bold colors and compositions, Derain painted multiple pictures of the Thames and Tower Bridge. These London paintings remain among his most popular work. Art critic T. G Rosenthal: "Not since Monet has anyone made London seem so fresh and yet remain quintessentially English.
Some of his views of the Thames use the Pointillist technique of multiple dots, although by this time, because the dots have become much larger, it is rather more simply the separation of colours called Divisionism and it is peculiarly effective in conveying the fragmentation of colour in moving water in sunlight."
He experimented with stone sculpture and moved to Montmartre to be near his friend Pablo Picasso and other noted artists. Fernande Olivier...

Peter Buchman "Note to Self”, Voice-Over Paintings Series, 2025
Located in New York, NY
Contemporary New York artist Peter Buchman's 'Note to Self' is created using laser-cut plexiglass, acrylic medium, and enamel on wood. It's part of his Voice-Over series, in which the artist gathers linguistic phrases to immortalize the valuable contributions of other cultures to the American Diaspora. To describe Buchman's word paintings as 'A Figure of Speech' is an understatement of the profound soulfulness they embody. They bear the marks of the artist's hand but also carry the collective spirit of many who came before him. These words derive from familiar phrases, music albums, his unique brand of irony, and the very essence of the human form.
For this specific piece, 'Note to Self,' Peter is fascinated by what he said - she said and all of that back-and-forth cross-communication. Phrases like 'word on the street' and 'news at eleven'—we are all familiar with this kind of language, but how does it make us feel to see it stacked on top of each other? Writing lists, scribbling notes, verbatim, talking to ourselves or our partners... where does it all get us? Everywhere? Nowhere? This communication and street slang intrigues him. Whether he hears it or actually sees the words, the language grabs his attention, and he wants to discuss it again... with you, the viewer. Will you engage? Signed and dated en verso. This is a commissioned piece and will ship directly from the artist's studio.
American artist Peter Buchman has BFA in Illustration from The Rhode Island School of Design and did a Sculpture Residency at The School of Visual Arts in New York. Peter's artwork has been exhibited throughout the US since 1981 including the Parrish Art Museum (Southampton, NY), Cooperstown Museum (NY), Delaware Museum of Art, Kidder Smith Gallery (MA) and Vered Gallery (East Hampton, NY). His work is included in the portfolios of collectors including Beth Rudin DeWoody, Nicole Miller, David Yurman and Howard Schultz...

French Symbolic Expressionism Oil Painting Depicting French Revolution
Located in Prato, Tuscany
We kindly suggest that you read the entire description, as with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our objects. Painting oil painting on canvas is made with mixed technique brush and spatula; the author used traditional brushes for a first draft giving shape to the whole drawing with an expert, loose wrist play and with sure and decisive brushstrokes; the representation, in this case, is not a pure exercise of virtuosity, in fact, the author communicates us his intimate essence manifesting it through the language of colors, shapes, and composition. The artist finished his work with the technique of spatula painting, named after the protagonist's instrument, redistributing the colors densely and consistently, making the painting take on a special body and depth. The painting is signed but we are unable to give definite information about the author, however, we confirm its extraordinary aesthetic and engaging vividness; the painting was made in 1989 in the author's studio in Paris whose intentions were to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution (1789). The painter was inspired by both French Expressionism and Symbolism; Expressionism exalts the emotional value of art; it is the artist's desire to communicate inner feelings, while with Symbolism, painters tend to go beyond the objective representation of reality to focus instead on the subjective vision, in which inner feelings, emotions, and experiences are evoked above all. Our painting is overflowing with the symbolism of the French Revolution; it is practically an evocative essence of it. This important and overwhelming historical event is powerfully present in the soul of the artist who wanted to overbearingly communicate to us his deepest emotions by transposing them entirely in the painting with strong and vivid colors, he did not want to simply allude or hint but to express, indeed "shout" his own deep interiority. In his intentions, the painting schematically and symbolically represents a standard-bearer of the French Revolution wearing the classic "Phrygian" hat. The author used only the three colors white, red, and blue that characterized the flags of the French Revolution; they were the new banners, which opposed the traditional emblem of the monarchy, the lilies on a white field. Three were the colors because three were the goals of the Revolution: liberty, equality, and fraternity, and they represented the three classes into which French society of the time was divided: the clergy (blue), the nobility (white), and the third state (red). The "Phrygian" cap (Latin for pileus) painted in red in the painting also has a high symbolic value, In Roman times it was worn by the " freedmen" to show that they were now freed slaves but in the French Revolution it became the very symbol of Liberty; a similar cap was worn by the freed Marseilles convicts in 1792, and was the symbol of the Jacobins during the French Revolution. Due to this fact, in addition to its historical meaning of freedom, it was later adopted as a symbol of the revolution itself, a symbol immortalized on the "Marianne," the very emblem of France, in Eugène Delacroix's famous painting "Liberty Leading the People...
