"Reclining Nude" signed Dolice

French nude painting (oil on canvas) with original frame signed Maubri.

A wonderful, highly engaging large original abstract pastel painting / drawing of three nude female figures by Swiss / American / Californian painter-artist Hans Burkhardt. This work is hand pencil signed and dated (1967) by the artist. An original, one-of-a-kind relatively large work by Burkhardt. Would be a great addition to any collection of his work or a stunning stand-alone art accent piece in about any setting. His original female/ women nude works are becoming rare and harder to find. Hans Burkhardt was born in 1904 in Basel, Switzerland. At the age of 20, he immigrated to New York to work with his father. From 1925 to 1928 he attended the Cooper Union School of the Arts, where he befriended mentor Arshile Gorky and Willem de Kooning—sharing Gorky's studio from 1928 to 1937. In 1937 he moved to Los Angeles, California. Burkhardt held his first solo exhibition in 1939 at Stendahl Gallery in Los Angeles. In 1945 he had a highly acclaimed solo exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum. Burkhardt spent most of the 1950s working in Mexico. Art critics of the time considered him a "great Mexican master” alongside Orozco, Rivera, and Siqueiros, and Rufino Tamayo admired his work. He returned to Los Angeles in the 1960s to create some of the most powerful examples of Abstract Expressionism of the time. During this time he also became well known for his richly drawn pastel abstractions of the human figure of which this original work certainly qualifies. He died in Los Angeles in 1994.

A beautiful, engaging, and somewhat rare original large oil on board nude painting by French artist Charles Levier (1920-2003). Levier was born in 1920 to a French father and an American mother in Corsica. At the age of 17, he studies at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts Decoratifs. His studies were interrupted by World War II during which time Levier served in the French Army in North Africa and later became a liaison officer with the U.S. Office of Strategic Services. This would inspire him to move to the United States to pursue a career in art (he spent his future years between America and France). His first one-man show took place in 1949 in Lyons at the Galerie Constantine. The following year he had his first solo exhibition in America. In 1955 his work was on exhibit at the Galleries de Colisee in Paris. Today Levier's work can be found in numerous prominent collections and museums including: The Museum of Modern Art in Paris The Menton Museum in Paris The Atlanta Museum, GA The Seattle Museum, WA The Evansville Museum, IN The New Orleans Museum, LA The San Diego Museum, CA The work is signed by Levier at the lower left within the image.
