About the Item
Painting of a casual, abstract female body in oil on newspaper by Antonio Guanse, Paris 1963
The woman's body lolls casually under the artist's brushstrokes. The abstract depiction on the Paris newspaper from October 1963, which in turn was pasted onto a piece of canvas cut freehand, creates a unique arrangement.
The object was fixed on small mustache bases and mounted on a black passe-partout.
Professional black framing with white gold decoration and non-reflective glass
BIOGRAPHY
Antonio Guansé was born on January 1, 1926 in Tortosa, a town in northeastern Spain, in Catalonia.
Son of an official and nephew of a writer, he moves with his family to Barcelona where he begins secondary school and writes at the age of eleven, his first poems.
This love of poetry will not leave him and will deeply permeate his work as a painter.
The inclination for painting will appear around 1945, through portraits and landscapes of Cerdanya.
His work and his personality draw their roots, through deeply telluric visions, in the origins, the lands of the Ebro.
From 1948 to 1951, while joining the group "Ciclos Experimentales de Arte Nuevo" and attending the French Institute of Barcelona where he meets a young generation impatient to move the art that has been dormant since the Civil War, Guansé makes stays in Ibiza, in the Balearic Islands, where he paints the world of fishermen and peasants.
On January 26, 1953, he comes to Paris, thanks to a grant from the French State. There he meets Pablo Picasso, one of his main influences. In 1954, he moves permanently to Paris and begins to exhibit there regularly.
From 1956 to 1958, color takes a prominent place in his works whose forms explode. An organic dynamism generates compositions that approach an "abstract expressionism".
In 1959, his research leads him to a new plastic language similar to what will later be called the "New Figuration", an artistic movement that makes the transition from the hegemonic abstraction of the 1950s to a narrative figurative, which will be launched in 1965.
In 1962, he wins the Critics' Prize in Paris.
In 1965, he perseveres in the representation of man: the body, the woman, the couple, and the space that surrounds it, made of windows, mirrors, crowds, cities. He is selected in 1967 for the International Marzotto Prize.
Beginning in 1970, he produces illustrations of books by French and Spanish poets, including Paul Eluard 's "Dit de la Force de l’Amour". He makes his first tapestries and paints subjects that condition the man of his time, such as urban landscapes, television, telephone. He performs with his eight other painters, in front of the public, his painting Concrete (4 x 3m), on the platforms of the metro Saint-Augustin. He works hard with forms and colors, which reflect his worries, his anxieties and his evolution.
He then accumulates personal exhibitions, more than a hundred in total, until the most recent: in particular at the Museum of Tarragona in 2001, in Paris in 2008, and a posthumous tribute "Guansé y sus amigos de Paris" in Madrid. He is part as well of the great UNESCO exhibition, organized in 1996 for the fiftieth anniversary of the School of Paris.
His path is that of a loner, very jealous of his freedom, his independence. He never tries to convince of the validity of his approach. His work speaks for him and affirms a character that will push him more and more towards simplification, the stripping of forms, the need to go back to basics. The presence of man keeps on asserting itself over the paintings and over time.
Antonio Guansé died on November 22, 2008, in Paris.
His work is present in many prestigious public collections, but also in the National Museum of Modern Art in Paris, the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo in Madrid and in Toledo. Antonio Guansé had his own language - a exploded, virtuoso figurative, which gradually softened with time; permanent coups in form and color.
Fraternity was the hallmark of the man and the artist.

Antonio Guansé
Antonio Guansé, a Spanish painter, was born on January 1, 1926, in Tortosa. When he won the prize for criticism in 1962, the newspaper Le Monde presented his work, “From nature, he paints with a range of ochres sensitive and warm and deaf tones, Guansé only keeps Rhythmic lines of force, the combination of the masses, it does so with a figurative coherence which gives to its representation an objective quality without perceptible relation with the reality which is the subject of it." Ten years later, in the same journal, the evolution of Guansé's painting is underlined, “His palette, violently contrasted, has been simplified and brightened, with more brilliant reds, oranges and blacks than the burnt hues of a long time ago. This conquest of color seems to open up new spatial concerns." Guansé died on November 22, 2008, in Paris.

Abstract Painting Beige-brown-orange by the Leipzig Painter W. Biedermann 1987
Located in Salzburg, AT
Abstract painting on paper work by Wolfgang E. Biedermann, Leipzig Westgermany 1987
Small, repetitive motifs, characters, ciphers and writings, inspired by Asian calligraphers were generously painted over in abstract.
Technique: Mixed media on paper
Signature: Lower right by hand W. E. Biedermann 87
Short Biography:
Wolfgang E. Biedermann was born in 1940 in Hannover - dece. 2008 in Leipzig
Already as a high school student Wolfgang E. Biedermann's artistic talent was recognized by Ursula Mattheuer-Neustädt.
She promoted him to evening studies at the Academy of Visual Arts (HGB) Leipzig.
From 1961 Biedermann studied at the HGB in the specialist class for free graphics and painting with Gerhard Kurt Müller, completing his studies in 1967.
Since 1968 Biedermann was active as a freelance artist in Leipzig.
He undertook study trips to Poland, France and Indonesia, as well as to the USSR and the USA.
From 1968 to 1991 he was a member of the Association of Visual Artists of the GDR and since 1996 a member of the Free Academy of Arts in Leipzig.
The unique encounter with the German action artist Joseph Beuys had a great impact on Biedermann.
The artistic work of Wolfgang E. Biedermann spanned from 1960 to 2008.
His œuvre is characterized by the development of his own technique.
In addition to drawings and sketches of the early work for study purposes he dealt over the years primarily with printing practices.
He produced numerous abstract paintings and works on paper using color etching and silkscreen processes as well as multi-plate overprinting.
Biedermann relied on different layering by means of various techniques of graphics and painting.
He dealt extensively with overdrawing and overpainting his works. Repeating motifs are symbols, signs, ciphers and writings, which are based on Asian calligraphy.
Biedermann dealt just as intensively with the content of philosophical writings by Peter Sloterdijk and with letters from the estate of Friedrich Schiller,
which he transposed into the paintings. His color-intensive paintings reflect "inner landscapes". Klaus Werner coined this term as early as 1980 for the complete works of Wolfgang E. Biedermann.
Since 1977 Wolfgang E. Biedermann presented his artworks at various exhibitions.
On the occasion of his 50th birthday, the Lindenau Museum in Altenburg exhibited a comprehensive selection of 130 works in 1990.
NordLB - Art, Hannover accompanied his further creative process for almost ten years with work locations in Berlin (Sony Center), Singapore, Zurich and Hamburg.
At the EXPO 2000 in Hanover, twelve of his large-scale works were on display in the German pavilion.
Parts of his œuvre have also been exhibited outside Germany in Tokyo, Paris, Damascus, Bilbao, Listovel, Mulhouse, Grenchen, Basel and Fredrikstad, among other places.

Modern Cubistic Painting in Acrylics on Canvas by Fritzie Abadi, New York 2001
By Fritzie Abadi
Located in Salzburg, AT
Cubist painting in acrylics on canvas, Fritzie Abadi New York, 2001
In strong muted colors, angular figures and elements are divided and reassembled in a different context.
The elements are partly bright and finely outlined, which makes this even more plastic and stronger in their effect.
The high, narrow format makes the image a special eye-catcher.
Expressive modern representation in handmade shadow gap frame.
The frame is 4.5cm wide and has a slightly raised silver-plated front bar of 1.5cm.
Fritzie Abadi (1915 – 2001) was an American painter, sculptor, and collage artist. Born in Aleppo, which was then part of the Ottoman Empire.
Biography:
The daughter of a rabbi, Abadi lived in Palestine until she was nine years old.
She then emigrated to New York City in 1924.
She won a drawing competition while attending Bay Ridge High School, and this fostered an early interest in art.
She married at eighteen and moved to Oklahoma City, giving birth to two daughters and "forgot about art".
In 1945 she returned to Brooklyn, and in 1946 she enrolled in the Art Students League of New York; there she studied under Nahum Tschacbasov.
Her work is included in several museum collections such as
the Butler Institute of American Art,
the Evansville Museum of Arts and Science,
the Slater Memorial Museum, and
the Georgia Museum of Art.
She has also exhibited in many venues throughout her career.
She has also received several awards including the Acrylic Painting Award of the National Association of Women Artists (1974) and the Box Assemblage Award from the American Society of Contemporary Artists (1979).
She was a member of both institutions, serving on the board of the former in 1970 and as president of the latter from 1970 to 1972; she was on the board of the New York Society of Women Artists in 1980, and was also a member of Women in the Arts and the Hudson River Contemporary Artists.
A small collection of documentary material is owned by the Archives of American Art.
