About the Item

Wonderful and interesting large social realism oil painting depicting fishermen and men and women at work, collecting and cleaning fishes. We see the influence of folk art and social themes in this large work in a certain stylised Social Realism, celebrating everyday slices of life and the common man. The setting is dreamlike in which all people work together peacefully, everyone responsible for his or her part. The painting is very attractive, both in size and colours. Late 20th century expressionist, oil on canvas. Signed and dated, A(lexander) Vlasenko (A. BLACEHKO) 1987. Presented in a painted wooden frame. This painting fits in a tradition of paintings of people cleaning fishes. The provenance can be Russia or Ukraine possibly.

Vintage Geometric Composition by Waldo Balart, Lithograph
Located in AMSTERDAM, NH
Geometric composition signed by Waldo Balart (61 x 73cm), 1989, lithograph. Balart often works at the intersection of physics and art. In his series "Structure of Light," Balart for example dissects the light and various colours. "Dessarollo de cel" means development of a cel. Waldo Balart was born in Cuba and currently resides in Madrid, Spain. Balart studied political science and economics in Havana before moving to New York, where he pursued an art education at the Museum of Modern Art. His works are included in the permanent collections of institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art, Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid and the Mondriaanhuis in the Netherlands. Waldo Balart is an artist best known for his affiliation with the Concrete Art movement, and his singular purpose to create a formal visual language rooted in abstraction, concerned with color, planes, space, and order. Balart — who studied political science and economics and used to be an accountant — began to create work as a hobbyist painter. In 1959, he moved to New York to pursue studies in art and became acquainted with the art community there, which would be immensely influential for Balart’s developing style. He was particularly inspired by the work of Josef Albers, who would introduce Balart to the Bauhaus movement. Balart also looked toward Kasmir Malevich and Piet Mondriaan...
