Abstract Watercolor #3 by Carl Lewis Pappe
Located in Pasadena, CA
Nahuatl art inspired this multicolor geometric abstract by artist Carl Lewis Pappe. The overall impression is of a colorful overlap of shapes of different sizes thanks to curvy black lines. The crossing of these black lines creates a large variety of geometric forms. Some forms have been left almost blank, because the artist added small red circles or ovals, suggesting some kind of mysterious gates to another dimension. It adds a sense of wonder to the general feeling of the artwork.
Th abstract is signed by the artist at the lower right and dated 1989. It is labeled for Taxco, Mexico.
Painter, sculptor, and printmaker Carl Lewis Pappe was born in Hungary in 1900. He died in 1998.
Following grade school, Pappe first enrolled at the Cleveland School of Art (not the Cleveland Institute of Art) from 1921 to 1925. Upon graduation, the Hungarian Society awarded him a full scholarship to attend the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, where he studied under Daniel Garber and Hugh Breckinridge.
In the late 1930s, Pappe and Goodspeed opened a studio and gallery in the silver mining...

"Something Going on Inside" Drawing by Amalia Schulthess - 1958
Located in Pasadena, CA
This unique drawing by painter/sculptor Amalia Schulthess features large black ink curves surrounding semi-abstract characters. As the title suggests "Something going on inside". The piece is signed and dated with red ink.
The entire life of Amalia Schulthess has been tied up in art. She grew up in Thurgau, Switzerland, where Paul Klee was a frequent guest in her house. She immigrated to America in 1941. Upon her arrival in New York she made contact with Piet Mondrian, who inspired her to continue working as a professional artist. Schulthess then traveled west, painting and exhibiting for the next 20 years in California and New Mexico. In Taos she met Andrew Dasburg and was instrumental in reviving the career of the great modernist who had fallen into obscurity after the war.
By the late 1960s Schulthess had abandoned painting for sculpture. She worked in Florence, Italy for 10 years and after that established a studio in Pietra Santa. Regardless of where she was her work has always been close to nature. Organic forms predominate and the magic of the raw material is allowed to speak out.
Schulthess was the subject of a retrospective at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in 1976 and has exhibited in Paris at the Salon de Jeune Sculpture and the Salon de Mais. Her work is in various public and private collections both in Europe and America including the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, La Jolla Art...

Specifically Nowhere, Yellow (Abstract Geometric Painting with Grids on Yellow)
By Donise English
Located in Hudson, NY
Large abstract geometric painting with intricate line work in pencil and gouache on a bright yellow background
"Specifically, Nowhere (Yellow)" made by Hudson Valley artist, Donise English, in 2022
gouache, acrylic, pencil, and colored pencil on paper, mounted on panel
48 x 48 inches unframed, 50 x 50 inches with a dark brown stained wood floater frame
Surface is protected with four coats of an archival UV protective varnish
Signed, verso
Excellent condition and ready to hang
This large abstract geometric painting was made by Hudson Valley based artist, Donise English, in 2022. The composition begins with a bright yellow background overlaid with intricate line work in graphite and colored pencil. Thousands of hand drawn lines serve as a backdrop for a bold geometric form in a dusty violet and dark gray gridded pattern that references "an imagined city grid", says the artist. The painting on paper is mounted to wood panel and complemented with a dark stained wood floater frame. It's in excellent condition and ready to hang as is. The surface is protected with four coats of an archival UV protective varnish.
More about the work:
Donise English emphasizes lines, grids, and fields of subtle color to evoke imagined places and invented structures. While precise lines and straight angles are often associated with themes in architecture and urban planning designs, English conveys a geometric motif guided by intuition rather than a ruler. Variations on grids retain flaws and unmistakable traces of the artists’ hand; her style of draftsmanship shies away from intellectualism and instead makes her compositions feel very personal. Each design is intensely intricate, incorporating gouache, acrylic, pen, graphite, ink and colored pencil.
Artist Statement:
My work is about the way visual diagrams present information that describes how something is made or the way it is. I am interested in drawing and collaging multiple layers of information that refer abstractly to maps, architectural drawings and blueprints or patterns and structures found in such things as roller coasters, power lines and fences. I use gouache and collaged paper in a series of layers that are a visual and ideological response to the previous layer to define my pictorial space. For each piece I create a set of rules to follow about the use of a limited palette, a grid format, opacity of paper and whether a piece may include curving lines or maintain a rectilinear structure.

Black & White Monochromatic Abstract Watercolor #2 by Carl Lewis Pappe
Located in Pasadena, CA
This black-and-white monochromatic geometric abstract combines straight and curved lines. Shapes of different sorts and sizes run on undulating lines, like a moving music staff. The overall impression is one rapid and wavy ensemble simulating the ebbs and flows of life. It is signed by the artist at the lower right and dated 1990. It is labeled for Taxco, Mexico.
Painter, sculptor, and printmaker Carl Lewis Pappe was born in Hungary in 1900. He died in 1998.
Following grade school, Pappe first enrolled at the Cleveland School of Art (not the Cleveland Institute of Art) from 1921 to 1925. Upon graduation, the Hungarian Society awarded him a full scholarship to attend the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, where he studied under Daniel Garber and Hugh Breckinridge.

Nahuatl art inspired this yellow, blue and red geometric abstract by artist Carl Lewis Pappe. The overall impression is of a colorful overlap of rectangular shapes of different sizes. It is remarkable to notice that the black lines contouring the rectangles aren't exactly straight. It adds a sense of playfulness to the general feeling.
It is signed by the artist at the lower right and dated 1988. It is labeled for Taxco, Mexico.
