Large Modern Abstract Art Painting Signed Original Mark Dickson
By (after) Mark Rothko
Located in New York City, NY
This is an Original Mark Dickson painting and can be described as nothing short of a revelation in the realm of contemporary art. As one navigates through his vibrant interplay of colors—pinks, purples, blues, and greens—it becomes evident that his works are a bridge between abstract expression and a deep-seated Coloradan sensibility. From afar, the paintings resonate with the raw energy and abstract impulsiveness reminiscent of Adolph Gottlieb or Mark Rothko. However, upon closer introspection, Dickson's canvas unfolds a symphony, harmoniously blending his intuitive understanding of the Colorado landscapes with an almost Rothkoesque play of color and form. His artistry is a culmination of his academic sojourns, from the bustling art scene of Brooklyn's Pratt Institute to the scholarly corridors of the University of Denver. Yet, what stands out is his capability to transcend these teachings and manifest a unique narrative—one that reflects both the external world and the myriad landscapes of the human psyche. The choice of medium, notably pastel mixed with watercolors, oil washes, and graphite pencil, demonstrates a tactile indulgence in his craft. It's as if he's chiseling his memories, experiences, and observations of the Coloradan terrains and skies into each canvas. For the discerning eye, his works might also evoke the expansive color fields of Milton Avery. Yet, Dickson’s approach, particularly his relationship with color, is refreshingly instinctual, almost challenging the viewer to feel rather than dissect. In Mark Dickson's work, we're treated to an exhilarating dance of abstract brilliance juxtaposed with the tangible and intangible memories of Colorado's landscapes. In a sense, each painting becomes an invitation—to wander, to wonder, and to immerse in the art of profound introspection. The majority medium is pastel and a mixed media of watercolors, oil washes, and graphite pencil. Color is of primary importance to his work. His work shows the influence of artists Milton Avery(who used large areas of color) and Mark Rothko and Adolph Gottlieb (known for their work in the variations of color). Mark is fascinated with color and explores every aspect of its relationships. He feels his use of color is more intuitive versus analytical. Mark Dickson’s paintings, prints and monotypes are represented in private, corporate and public art collections nationally.

An Abstract & Lyrical OIL PAINTING on CANVAS by YVES CORBASSIERE, 1959 France
By Yves Corbassiere
Located in PARIS, FR
A wide and powerful abstract painting, "forme libre", oil on canvas, by Yves Corbassière (1925-2020), double-signed on the painting and on the back, dated 1959. This beautiful composition of powerful colors focuses on an abstract organic or maybe chemical or musical motive driven by an expressionist movement, nuance of textures and subtle paint effects giving an idea of an explosion. Explosion of colors, explosion of music, explosion of life? Yves Corbassière was a close friend of Boris Vian and was part of the French movement of Zazous expressing their individuality by wearing big or garish clothing (similar to the zoot suit...

Landscape in Autumn by Guido Borgianni, Italy, 1950
Located in Budapest, HU
Guido Borgianni was born in New York on June 11, 1915, to Florentine Roberto Borgianni, a leather merchant, and Sara Herreshoff, who belonged to one of the wealthiest families in the United States and became a legend in the construction of the racing boats that also participated in and won the America's Cup. Guido was not even a year old when, once his parents' marriage had foundered, his father brought him back to Florence. Of Guido Borgianni's extraordinary gifts as a draftsman and painter, Galileo Chini, his neighbor, noticed, and he worked to see that talent refined. Thus Borgianni attended the Academy of Fine Arts under Felice Carena, a strict teacher but one who knew how to appreciate the qualities of his pupils. In the first part of his life he signed his works in black. Then, when he became a pointillist, he began to use red. Among his great admirers were Alessandro Parronchi and Oskar Kokoschka, who was captivated by Borgianni's paintings during his Florentine stay in 1949. Soffici, Saetti, Malaparte, Montale, Pratolini, and Cesare Zavattini, the screenwriter of Vittorio De Sica and Italian neorealism, all liked him very much, finding him "as beautiful as a Corot." In 1946 he exhibited at the Quadriennale in Rome. After his marriage to Simonetta Avila in 1954, his activities were enlivened by travel: in 1955 to Venice, in 1957 to Paris, from 1958 to 1962 around Italy, in 1964 to Spain, in 1971 to New York and Barbados Islands. In 1950 he was awarded a prize at the Mostra Nazionale del Fiorino in Florence, and in 1956 he was appointed Academician of the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno in Florence. In 1957 he was awarded First Prize at the Portrait Exhibition at Dante's House in Florence. Upon his death, deep condolences were expressed by the president of the Florence City...

The earliest paintings were created on the walls of caves, proving even our ancient ancestors knew that striking artwork is meant to be on display. Cave paintings on an Indonesian island are reportedly older than the earliest cave art in Spain and France, and the figurative paintings back then were produced with inorganic pigments like iron oxide.

Later, the people of Ancient Greece — who learned about art from the Egyptians before them — conceived panel paintings of wax and tempera that were collected and publicly displayed. In the centuries that followed, artists would be commissioned to create large-scale wall murals and frescoed ceilings in sprawling European palaces and in the homes of the aristocracy.

Today, 1stDibs makes it easy for you to celebrate this rich history in your own home. Our collection of paintings includes Art Deco paintings, baroque art and a broad range of other categories. Search by material, period or other attributes to find the right fit — browse an array of 19th century landscape paintings in giltwood frames or abstract oil paintings and portraits made during the 1950s and ‘60s.

An understated contemporary work can complement your space’s color palette without drawing the focus away from the other pivotal design choices you’ve made over the years. Roy Lichtenstein’s Pop art, on the other hand, demands attention with its array of vibrant hues and subjects inspired by popular culture. 

Whether you aim to create a gallery in your home or build a single, stunning focal point, you can find what you’re looking for in an extensive inventory of paintings on 1stDibs.
