Modern Paintings

MODERN STYLE

The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”

Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.

Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chaircrafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.

It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.

Jimmy Lee Sudduth, (1910–2007) “Untitled (Evening Cityscape, New Orleans)”

Jimmy Lee Sudduth, (1910–2007) “Untitled (Evening Cityscape, New Orleans)”

By Jimmy Sudduth

Located in West Palm Beach, FL

Jimmy (Lee) Sudduth (1910–2007) “Untitled (Evening Cityscape, New Orleans)” 48" × 48" (52" × 52" framed) • Signed Upper Left** A large-scale, highly expressive cityscape by celebrated American Outsider artist Jimmy Lee Sudduth, this 48" × 48" mixed-media painting is executed on the artist’s characteristic hand-prepared panel and signed Jim Sudduth in the upper left corner. Pieces of this size, subject, and clarity are increasingly scarce—particularly examples that evoke one of Sudduth’s most iconic themes: his imaginative visions of New Orleans. Rendered in bold strokes of house paint, “sweet mud,” and vivid enamel pigments, the composition presents a row of monumental skyscrapers rising dramatically against a deep black evening sky. The buildings—painted in Sudduth’s unmistakable vertical grids of color—tilt and shimmer with energy, capturing the sense of awe he associated with large cities. Though Sudduth’s cityscapes are never literal, this work strongly aligns with his known depictions of New Orleans at night, a city he visited, admired, and frequently reinterpreted in his paintings. The angular, brightly lit towers and the presence of a spire-like structure echo several buildings along New Orleans’ downtown corridor, particularly the postmodern silhouettes near Canal and Poydras. Along the foreground stands a charming procession of simplified human figures, a classic Sudduth motif associated with the street parades and communal gatherings he connected to New Orleans culture. Their small, rounded forms create a compelling contrast to the towering architecture above—an interplay that speaks to Sudduth’s recurring themes of community, celebration, and the human scale within the modern world. Sudduth, recognized as one of America’s most important Outsider artists, developed a highly personal visual language rooted in rural Alabama traditions, natural pigments, and improvisational mark-making. His works are held in major institutions, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the American Folk Art Museum, the High Museum of Art, and the Souls Grown Deep Foundation. This painting stands as a strong example of his late-career style: bold, intuitive, rhythmic, and unmistakably his own. Medium: Mixed media (including “sweet mud,” house paint, and enamel) on artist-prepared panel Image Size: 48" × 48" Framed Size: 52" × 52" Signature: Signed upper left “Jim Sudduth” Provenance: Private Chicago Collection Condition: Excellent overall; stable surface; ready to hang. A visually commanding and highly desirable Sudduth cityscape—rare in scale, rich in color, and evocative of the artist’s beloved nighttime visions of New Orleans. Ideal for collectors of folk art, Southern outsider art...

Geoffrey Bowman "Black Diamond", Oil and Mixed Media on Canvas, 1984

Located in Cathedral City, CA

Geoffrey Bowman (1928-2009) "Black Diamond", Oil and Mixed Media on Canvas, 1984 Beautiful colorful and textural smaller scale painting by California artist Geoffrey Bowman. Measures 21-1/2" high, 21-1/2" wide as framed. Canvas measures 21" high, 21" wide. Signed and dated on reverse. Retains partial artist tag. Geoffrey Bowman was born in San Francisco on December 29, 1928. In 1946, he quit high school and joined the Navy and traveled to China, Korea, the Philippines, and Hawaii. In 1948 after being discharged from the Navy, Bowman earned his high school equivalency diploma. Five years later he met and married his first wife Mill, and graduated from San Francisco State University with a BA in Social Science. During this time he also became intensely interested in art and printmaking and began to study art formally. By 1957 Geoffrey had earned his graduate degree in art and began to teach art in San Quentin. In 1960 Bowman left his teaching job at San Quentin to spend more time working on his art and examining Asian philosophy at the American Academy of Asian Studies in San Francisco. During this time to support himself and his wife Geoffrey drove a taxi at night so that he could have his days free to work in the studio. In 1964 he joined the art faculty at San Jose State University and moved to San Jose and became a full professor in 1973. Geoffrey taught at SJSU for twenty-nine years, specializing in lithography and intaglio printmaking techniques. At the same time he was deeply involved in his own work and accumulated an impressive professional exhibition record and his work was exhibited regionally, nationally, and internationally. Bowman’s work is in several public permanent collections including the San Jose Museum of Art, San Francisco Museum of Art, Achenbach Foundation of Graphic Arts San Francisco, Lannan Foundation New York, and Crown Press Berkeley. After retiring from teaching in 1994 Geoffrey turned to painting as his primary medium of expression. Although there was a media shift he continued to focus on one subject: the consistency of change. This he accomplished in part with combinations of paint and an assortment of reflective materials such as metallic flake and leaves, glass beads, and light-refracting pigments. Bowman became quite private in his later years and had his last one-man public exhibition in 2001 at the Fredrick Spratt Gallery in San Jose. Bowman died in San Jose, California on October 9, 2009.
