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 The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics.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.

Sam Francis "Jubilee" color lithograph, created 1964
By Sam Francis
Located in Münster, DE
Sam Francis (1923 San Mateo - 1994 Santa Monica)
"Jubilee" color lithograph, created 1964, edition of 50 copies, signed, numbered and dated, Ex.: e.a.
Dimensions: 50.5 x 65.5 cm
Sam Francis was an American painter and graphic artist. His work is classified as Abstract Expressionism or Color Field Painting
Sam Francis is one of the most important American artists, born in San Mateo (California) in 1923, died in Santa Monica in 1994. After a plane crash during his service in the US Air Force, he began painting in 1944 during his convalescence and then studied under David Park at the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco. His early abstractions, which are still reminiscent of Clyfford Still and Jackson Pollock, show spontaneous painterly gestures that led to the typically American "all over" structure: the canvas is completely covered with dots, spots, marks and other traces of the painter's brush. When Francis was in Paris from 1950 to 1957, he abandoned color and broke new ground with works such as "White Painting" (1950). But as early as the summer of 1951 in the south of France, he used pink and red again, only to return to the full palette later on. Sometimes he used all the colors and their variations in tone, sometimes he let one color dominate, as in "Blue Balls" (1960). Although Francis has been associated with Color Field painting, this must be seen as an aid to classification, to help one come to terms with a highly original visual language.
When "fields" appear in Francis' work, they are almost never (if ever) color fields. Instead, they have an interplay of foreground and background. They often create depth, which makes the canvas more of a "color space".
It is typical of Sam Francis' pictorial strategies that he often leaves the center of the picture free...

About the artist: My adventurous journey as an artist has been focused on accessing the magic POOL of vibrant colors and life forces deep within me. I marvel at the infinite richness and divine beauty of colors, sounds, patterns, textures, and fragrances of Mother Nature.
I am inspired and amazed by the powerful and dynamic cycles of life, which generate newness and oneness. The circular movements of planets and every cell, the miraculous growth of plants and mountains, the morning’s eclosion of roses, and the buoyancy of ocean waves fascinate me.

Ernst Fuchs (1930 - 2015) "Head of a cherub", created in 1982 Color silkscreen
By Ernst Fuchs
Located in Münster, DE
Ernst Fuchs (1930 - 2015)
"Head of a cherub", created in 1982
Color silkscreen, ed. 200 pieces, signed and numbered
Dimensions 67.7 cm x 45 cm
Ernst Fuchs was born on February 13, 1930 in Vienna Ottakring as the only child of Maximilian and Leopoldine Fuchs; his father was of Jewish descent, which is why his grandfather and father emigrated to the USA and Shanghai in 1938 after the annexation of Austria by the Third Reich. To protect little Ernst from anti-Semitic hostility, it was decided to baptize him according to the Roman Catholic rite in 1942. The 12-year-old Ernst Fuchs was allowed to choose his own baptismal name and chose Ernst Peter Paul, in honor of the painter Peter Paul Rubens, whom he admired at the time. Around the same time, his godmother's brother, the painter and restorer Alois Schiemann, taught him the basics of drawing and painting. Until the age of 15, he attended the St. Anna painting school in Vienna, where he was taught sculpture and painting by Emmy Steinböck and Fritz Fröhlich.
After the war, Ernst Fuchs was finally able to take up his longed-for studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, which he had previously been denied for racist reasons. His teachers were first Robin Andersen, then Albert Paris Gütersloh. While still a student, he was allowed to hold his first solo exhibition in Paris in 1949, and soon afterwards, in 1950, he also moved to the French capital. Ernst Fuchst traveled through Europe and the USA for six years before taking an extended stay at the Dormition Monastery on Mount Zion in Israel in 1957 to study icon painting in depth. He finally returned to Vienna in 1962, where he founded the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism with former fellow students, of which he himself was to become the most important representative. The early years in particular were characterized by a strong surrealism; mythical and religious symbols in particular appealed to Ernst Fuchs and permeated his work. Later, Fuchs turned increasingly to Mannerism.
Ernst Fuchs' artistic spectrum broadened over the years: he sang and recorded various albums, which, like the majority of his paintings, were inspired by mystical motifs, and he designed stage sets for such famous operas as Wagner's Parsifal and Lohengrin or Mozart's Die Zauberflöte. Ernst Fuchs also wrote philosophical treatises. He repeatedly collaborated with other artists, including the musicians Klaus Schulze...
