Signed Framed Peter Max Rainforest Foundation Better World Acrylic over Lithograph Painting
ExcellentAn original acrylic painting over a lithograph by Peter Max, German/American (1937 - ), which is entitled "Rainforest Foundation (Better World)." This 2000 piece is a great example of Peter Max's more contemporary style and is signed by the artist in paint, lower right.
From visionary pop artist of the 1960's, to master of dynamic neo Expressionism, Peter Max and his vibrant colors have become part of the fabric of contemporary American culture. In the 1960's Max rose to youthful prominence with his now-famous "Cosmic '60s" style, a bold linear type of painting which employed Fauvist use of color and depicted transcendental themes. Peter Max revolutionized art of the 60' just as the Beatles transformed the music of the decade. As his expressionistic style evolved, becoming more sensuous and painterly, Max' unique symbolism and vibrant color palette have continued to inspire new generations of Americans throughout the decades. Peter Max is a passionate environmentalist and defender of human and animal rights, often dedicating paintings and posters for these noteworthy causes. He has celebrated our nation's principles of freedom and democracy with his famous paintings of American icons of freedom including Lady Liberty and the American Flag. In 1981 he painted six liberty portraits for the America President and Mrs. Reagan, and in 1993, his famous "�100 Clintons' installation. Max has painted for five American presidents; Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, and Clinton.
Max has had approximately forty museum shows internationally, and more than fifty gallery shows worldwide. His works appear in the prominent collections of many museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. -
Signed Ari Gradus Boy and Dog in Landscape Watercolor Painting
ExcellentA framed watercolor by the Israeli artist, Ari Gradus (1943 - ). The piece is entitled "Boy and Dog in Landscape" and was painted around 1975.
Ari Gradus was born in a small village in Israel in 1943. He began painting at the age of eight, at which time his work already showed unusual promise. By the time he was twelve he had won his first prize, a contest for junior artists sponsored by the city of Tel Aviv. After three years of army service, Ari went to live in Paris, where he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts. He began exhibiting his work in group shows, which led to one-man exhibitions in Paris and Geneva. In 1968, Ari came to the United States to introduce his work to this country. In November of that year, he was invited by CBS-TV to be featured on their nationally televised program, "Look Up and Live." Ari Gradus works in a style perhaps best described as naive, with a freshness and creativity uniquely his own. There is an almost childlike lack of inhibition about his paintings, endowing them with a charm and vivacity of color that truly set them apart. -
Signed Framed Alvaro Guillot Pot de Fleurs Rouges a la Fenetre Oil on Canvas Painting
ExcellentA framed painting by the Uruguayan artist Alvaro Guillot (1912 - ?), which is entitled. This is an oil on canvas painted by the artist in 1967 and is signed on the lower right. Alvaro Guillot spent a good portion of his life in France and much of his work is influenced by that culture.
Alvaro Guillot, the son of a diplomat, has traveled throughout the world. He lived the life of the existentialist with the young painters in St. Germaine de Pres. Through his friend, artist Charles Levier, he was influenced to pick up the brush and paint. But branching out into his own changing style, he experimented with natural surrealism that grows with his development in later pictures into abstract realism. Guillot has been described as a Surrealist with blocks of color and the arrangement of shapes within the canvas rather than in the nature of the subject matter itself. -
Signed Framed Jenik Cook Untitled 2 Acrylic On Paper Painting
ExcellentAn abstract painting by the wonderful American artist Jenik Cook (1940 - ). This piece, which is entitled "Untitled 2," was created in 2007 and is an acrylic on paper hand-signed and dated by the artist.
Jenik is a painter in the tradition of such visual theorists as Gorky, Kandinsky, and Motherwell. Absorbing and processing a vast range of material, from ancient languages to modern painting movements, her works convey a sense of confidence over this broad spectrum of experience. Jenik's taste for the primeval is evidenced in her discovery of the original mark: "You don't care if you ruin a piece of paper: it's just a piece of paper. But recently I've been thinking that the real creativity is often on a piece of paper." This tenet of Modernism has become fundamental to Jenik's work. Jenik has painted all her life. Her work reflects a personal love for invention and creating new relationships. The certainty of Jenik's marks shows conviction and beauty. The works are master-pieces of impulsiveness, as they are also impulsively moving. -
