About the Item
Although she is famous for her genre scenes such as "Bleeker Street Fire Hydrant" and "New Year's Eve in Greenwich Village," Kyra Markham began her career as an actress, gaining some renown for her work with Provincetown Players, and in Hollywood. However, she retained an interest in painting and printmaking all her life, and dedicated most of her life to art. Here in this painting, dating from 1959, Markham uses a brilliant palette of cerulean blues and pinks to create an ethereal backdrop for the doomed Icarus, who is falling and losing feathers as he drops. Somehow the painting seems more lovely than tragic, the viewer easily lost in the cloud patterns and arresting colors.

La Chute d'Icare Tempera on Panel Painting Icarus Falling Mythe Surreel In Stock
By Gérard Willemenot
Located in Utrecht, NL
La Chute d'Icare Tempera on Panel Painting Icarus Falling Mythe Surreel In Stock. Sizes including frame.
Gérard Willemenot was born on February 11, 1943.
The World War and the deportation of his father to Mauthausen will strongly mark his childhood. He is the eldest son of a family of nine children. Very early in conflict with the national education system, he studied art, graduated as a decorator from the Applied Arts and then became a DPLG Architect and Urban Planner, jobs that he mistakenly exercised for twenty-five years!
His childhood and his years of architecture will make him a chronic misfit who hardly likes his time. Unable to remake the world, he will paint it in his own way, offbeat and timeless. Willemenot does not like so-called contemporary painting, which he considers an institutional hoax.
Willemenot's painting is simple. This is so-called “tempera” paint (which he makes himself). This technique, endangered, will be cooked with an immoderate love for the Middle Ages and its mysticism, to which should be added the influence of a few great elders such as Jérôme Bosch, Breughel or Patinir, but also that of contemporary painters such as Albert Drachkovitch or Jacques Poirier...
