About the Item

Midcentury Texas Abstract Oil on Canvas by Gary Minkert. Gorgeous abstract oil on canvas by Gary Minkert titled "Paths In Space", circa 1959. J.Gary Minkert, "MINK," (10 June 1910-22 July 1969) was a Texas artist, sign painter, art instructor, and sculptor. Known to friends and family as Gary, he signed his work "MINK." He is one of the most recognized figures in Mid-20th Century Texas art. He is best known for painting-knife landscapes and felt tip pen drawings. He also attracted some comment with extraordinarily unconventional works such as Venus and Jonah and the fish. Among his most famous works are Ferguson's Crossing (1962) and Squattin' Squaw otherwise known as seated woman. His work was influenced by Early 20th Century impressionists and cubists.

  • 1957 Fred Hocks Oil on Canvas Abstract Painting
    By Fred Hocks
    Located in San Diego, CA
    Excellent example of a large oil on canvas abstraction by Fred Hocks from 1957. This painting was included in the 1976 retrospective at the Fine Arts Gallery in San Diego which later became the San Diego Museum of Art. No painter embodies San Diego’s early avant-garde more than Fred (Ferdinand) Hocks, a German-born painter who began visiting San Diego in the late 1920s after studies at the California School of Fine Art in San Francisco and the Art Students League in New York. Fellow painter Dan Dickey credited Hocks in 1947 with “opening up pathways for future, more enlightened generations (of artists),” and predicted that Fred Hocks would be “esteemed a master.” During the post-war years Hocks was assistant director of the San Diego School of Arts and Crafts, a private art school in La Jolla, and was instrumental in keeping affordable artist’s studios in Spanish Village. Along with modern architect Lloyd Ruocco, Fred Hocks co-founded the dynamic Allied Artists Council with Belle Baranceanu, Everett Gee Jackson, Dan Dickey and John Olsen. The well-travelled Hocks exhibited in San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, Long Beach, Pasadena, Paris, Mallorca and Guadalajara, had several one-person shows at the Art Center La Jolla/La Jolla Museum of Art and at the Fine Arts Gallery (SDMA). The San Diego Museum of Art held a major retrospective of his painting in 1976, just a few years before his death. He brought a continental element to the local art scene and is described in Bruce Kamerling’s 100 Years of Art in San Diego as “one of the most adventurous local artists…an intelligent and articulate defender of modern tendencies in art.” Local arts and architecture writer James Britton called Fred Hocks “the dean of the San Diego moderns...
