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 The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics.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.

André Derain Framed 'Nature Morte' Color Lithography, circa 1971
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Original 'Nature Morte' color lithograph by André Derain. Lithograph printed from an original painting made by the author in France, circa 1948. Published by Mourlot in Collection Pierre Levy in 1970, Paris. Framed and signed in the stone. In good original condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina. About the Artist: André Derain (10 June 1880 – 8 September 1954) was a French artist, painter, sculptor and co-founder of Fauvism with Henri Matisse. Derain and Matisse worked together through the summer of 1905 in the Mediterranean village of Collioure and later that year displayed their highly innovative paintings at the Salon d'Automne. The vivid, unnatural colors led the critic Louis Vauxcelles to derisively dub their works as les Fauves, or "the wild beasts", marking the start of the Fauvist movement. In March 1906, the noted art dealer Ambroise Vollard sent Derain to London to produce a series of paintings with the city as subject. In 30 paintings (29 of which are still extant), Derain presented a portrait of London that was radically different from anything done by previous painters of the city such as Whistler or Monet. With bold colors and compositions, Derain painted multiple pictures of the Thames and Tower Bridge. These London paintings remain among his most popular work. Art critic T. G Rosenthal: "Not since Monet has anyone made London seem so fresh and yet remain quintessentially English. Some of his views of the Thames use the Pointillist technique of multiple dots, although by this time, because the dots have become much larger, it is rather more simply the separation of colours called Divisionism and it is peculiarly effective in conveying the fragmentation of colour in moving water in sunlight." He experimented with stone sculpture and moved to Montmartre to be near his friend Pablo Picasso and other noted artists. Fernande Olivier...

Modern Textural Monochromatic Painting by Michael Allen
Located in West Hollywood, CA
A captivating exploration of depth and dimension, this abstract textural painting by Michael Allen is a striking statement of modern artistry. Executed on a wood panel, the composition features bold, sculptural layers that interplay with light and shadow, creating a dynamic visual rhythm. The monochromatic palette intensifies the tactile quality of the piece, drawing the viewer into its intricately layered surface. Crafted with a meticulous blend of pigments, hardeners, glues, and acrylic, this artwork achieves a rich, almost sculptural texture that enhances its presence. The thick, expressive strokes capture movement and emotion, making each piece uniquely individual. The refined materiality and handcrafted composition make it a testament to Allen's masterful control over both medium and form. This modern textural painting can be showcased individually as a bold focal point or grouped together with other works from the collection to create an immersive visual narrative. Whether displayed in a gallery-style arrangement or as a standalone piece, it embodies contemporary sophistication, adding depth and intrigue to any space. ABOUT MICHAEL ALLEN Michael Allen is an artist, photographer, and founder of Cobalt Audio based in Laurel Canyon.
