"Abstraction in Blue, Red & Yellow", Divisionist Painting, attr. Severini

About the Item

Boldly painted in vivid hues of red, deep pink, yellow and shades of blue, this abstract painting is attributed to Gino Severini, Italy's leading Modernist painter, who executed works in Cubist, Futurist and other modern styles. This painting is an example of his Divisionist paintings, which emerged in his work around 1910 to 1911, after Severini, Umberto Boccioni and Giacomo Balla experimented with the use of stippled dots and stripes to break the painted surface. The artist would continue to use this technique from time to time into the 1950s. The painting is gouache, thickly applied, on brown paper, and is signed in the lower righthand corner. The painting was in an old frame and matte until recently; the current frame is new. Dimensions include matte and frame; visible painting is 18.5 inches high by 13.5 inches wide.

"New Mexico River Valley, " 1920s Painting, Black, Green & Blue, Attr. Applegate
By Frank Applegate 1
Located in Philadelphia, PA
This superbly painted view of the mountains framing a river valley in northern New Mexico is attributed to Frank Guy Applegate, who lived and worked in the state during the 1920s, and is known for his watercolors -- such as this -- that present strong, abstracted views of the local landscapes, all in vivid colors and bold strokes of paint. Applegate was considered one of the New Mexico Modernists, and was accompanied on some of his painting forays by B.J.O. Nordfeldt, Andrew Dasburg and Josef Bakos. Applegate also had enormous respect for the culture and artistry of the native people, and encouraged a revival of the Pueblo style...
