Modern Figurative Drawings and Watercolors

MODERN STYLE

The first decades of the 20th century were a period of artistic upheaval, with modern art movements including Cubism, Surrealism, Futurism and Dadaism questioning centuries of traditional views of what art should be. Using abstraction, experimental forms and interdisciplinary techniques, painters, sculptors, photographers, printmakers and performance artists all pushed the boundaries of creative expression.

Major exhibitions, like the 1913 Armory Show in New York City — also known as the “International Exhibition of Modern Art,” in which works like the radically angular Nude Descending a Staircase by Marcel Duchamp caused a sensation — challenged the perspective of viewers and critics and heralded the arrival of modern art in the United States. But the movement’s revolutionary spirit took shape in the 19th century.

The Industrial Revolution, which ushered in new technology and cultural conditions across the world, transformed art from something mostly commissioned by the wealthy or the church to work that responded to personal experiences. The Impressionist style emerged in 1860s France with artists like Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne and Edgar Degas quickly painting works that captured moments of light and urban life. Around the same time in England, the Pre-Raphaelites, like Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, borrowed from late medieval and early Renaissance art to imbue their art with symbolism and modern ideas of beauty.

Emerging from this disruption of the artistic status quo, modern art went further in rejecting conventions and embracing innovation. The bold legacy of leading modern artists Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dalí, Henri Matisse, Joan Miró, Marc Chagall, Piet Mondrian and many others continues to inform visual culture today.

Ryan - Drawing by Ryan Mendoza - 2000
Located in Roma, IT
Ryan is a contemporary artwork realized by Ryan Mendoza in 2000. Pencil and charcoal on paper. Hand signed on the lower margin. Provenance: Galleria Massimo Minini, Brescia Born in 1971 in New York, Mendoza's personal story is subsequently intertwined with the two extremes of Europe, Naples and Berlin, the two cities in which he has lived and worked up to now. In his works he represents complex theatricality, models anatomies, doses colours, calibrates lights, draws on a rich archive of memories, confusing ancient pictorial wisdom and contemporary risks. The artist's attention is particularly focused on portraits in which he carries out distortions and alterations: he exhibits perspective disproportions, reveals anatomical dissonances, manifests dystonias between the characters in the foreground and the backgrounds. His characters appear "possessed", it is no coincidence that the title of the 2010 solo show at the Muse d'Arte Contemporanea Donna Regina in Naples is "The possessed...

Rare Large Original British Illustration Art Watercolor Painting "Horse Races"
By Sue Macartney Snape
Located in Surfside, FL
Sue Macartney-Snape Watercolor painting (with highlights of gold metallic paint) titled on label "Goodwood Races" Signed with initials verso. Info on label verso Dimensions: H 38.75" x W 31" (Sight) H 30" x W 22.5" (being sold unframed) Goodwood Racecourse is a horse-racing track five miles north of Chichester, West Sussex, in England controlled by the family of the Duke of Richmond, whose seat is nearby Goodwood House. Sue Mccartney Snape was born in Tanzania and brought up in Australia. She now lives and paints in London and is the award winning artist and illustrator of the 'Social Stereotypes' column in the Saturday Telegraph. Sue has been the Saturday Telegraph Magazine's illustrator for over 15 years, and has a reputation as the finest in her field. With her limited edition lithograph prints selling worldwide, she is a household name, and has been acclaimed as 'the P.G. Wodehouse of art' Social commentator Sue Macartney-Snape has been illuminating English life with her dart-like wit and observatory skills in the column ‘Social Stereotypes’, carrying on the grand old tradition of mordant English satire. She is a master of caricature and her limited-edition prints of British social stereotypes are brilliant, whimsical, and amusing. She shows us misfits and ultrafits, but always with affection. Sue Macartney-Snape has the ability to observe the day to day and the humorous side of life. Her intriguing observations reveal the hideous and glorious nature of English Eccentricities. Travel writer and television personality John Julius Norwich calls Macartney-Snape a "master of caricature" and says her paintings and limited edition prints "illustrate the English social scene more brilliantly and with greater accuracy than those of any other painter working today." Her work is similar to Jules Feiffer, Ronald Searle, Quentin Blake...
