  • Abstract Expressionist Watercolor Painting Sculpture Woman Artist Judith Brown
    By Judith Brown
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Judith Brown ( 1931 – 1992) Watercolor, 1962 Spires (painting of sculpture) Hand signed Judith Brown (December 17, 1931 – May 11, 1992) was a dancer and a sculptor who was drawn to images of the body in motion and its effect on the cloth surrounding it. She welded crushed automobile scrap metal into energetic moving torsos, horses, and flying draperies. Brown attended Sarah Lawrence College in Yonkers, New York (B.A., 1954), where she learned to weld from her teacher, Theodore Roszak, a pioneering abstract expressionist sculptor. This is done in a style similar to Leonard Baskin. She is a well known feminist artist who also made some wonderful jewelry and judaica.

  • "La Corrida" Original Mixed Media Drawing on Paper by Bernard Lorjou, Framed
    By Bernard Lorjou
    Located in Encino, CA
    "La Corrida [Bullfighting]," an original mixed media drawing on paper by Bernard Lorjou, is a piece for the true collector. Lorjou's use of colored inks and felt tip markers demonstrate his ability to convey his abstract concepts across media. This work is part of a highly collectible series of drawings he executed depicting various bullfighting scenes mid-action. This bullfighting theme reoccurred throughout Lorjou's work. Both the technical talent of Lorjou and his choice of subject matter pair perfectly with this minimalist custom frame designed to showcase the art in its entirety. An extremely rare example where the left binding edge is still intact, as many have been cut away or disintegrated over time in many other examples. This masterful work would make a great addition to an art collection and enhance most any home, perfect for those who have an affinity for satirical works, abstracts, and modern art. Bernard Lorjou’s career as an artist, notwithstanding the loneliness and penury of the beginning, is a success story; by the time he was 36 the whole world of art had heard of him and there was a ready market for anything he cared to paint. In the early years he talked mainly of Tintoretto and El Greco and his enthusiasm for Rembrandt developed somewhat later. He professed not to like Van Gogh, but it seems evident that Van Gogh’s late Provençal landscapes must have emboldened him in his early approach to both landscape and portraiture. Lorjou was represented in numerous exhibitions through his career as an artist – in the great salons of Paris and Musee d’ Art Moderne – and alongside some of the leading artists of the 20th Century, including Pablo Picasso, Fernand Leger, Georges Rouault, Marc Chagall, and Raphael Soyer. At several times in his career, Lorjou might be called an abstract expressionist, inspired by the configuration of the external world, though none of the details relating to authenticity impressed him very much. In exuberant celebration of the natural forms, he developed upon his canvas supernatural, jewel-like pigments and arbitrary, rugged textures that carried the overall pattern so far that one scarcely knows or cares what it represents. But the painting expresses what inspired it with a force of emotion stronger than most abstract canvases.

BUSSIERE, PARIS Artist Info/Bio: ARTIST BIOGRAPHY DOCUMENT IS INCLUDED Documentation: CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY IS INCLUDED About the Artist: Bernard Lorjou was born on September 9, 1908 in Blois, France, a somber village of picturesque houses on the Loire River, thirty-two miles from Tours. He was the youngest of 3 children and a born painter, indulging in all the childish pranks to obtain crayons and suitable materials to satisfy his strong desire to draw and paint. In 1924, he headed to Paris, where he lived in extreme poverty in a small room on the rue Raspail. Eventually, his funds ran out, so he started sleeping in the Orsay train station. Within a year, he found work with the silk house Ducharne. He used his income at Ducharne to finance his formal studies at the Evening School of the City of Paris. As a matter of course, he was taught a kind of 19th Century realism...
