This original oil on linen painting titled "Siouda Pelle" by African-born, Columbus-based artist Talle Bamazi (1966-) from his Hezou-Goma collection depicts a surrealistic composition of patterned bowls intermingling with a vague, abstracted nude female; a black background adding depth and mystique to the subject’s sepia values. A revered master in the Columbus art scene, Bamazi often blends traditional African imagery with the philosophy of contemporary art, leading him to foster relationships with other, prominent African-American artists such as Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson and April Sunami. This original painting is housed in a carved, contemporary black frame and is signed in the lower right hand corner by the artist, with additional titling, signage, sizing, and dating en verso. About the Artist: Talle Bamazi (1966-) was born into the Kabiye ethnic group in northern Togo and began his artistic career as an apprentice to his uncle, a traditional Togolese artist. Although he studied architecture in Lomé, Bamazi returned to painting and developed his own distinctive style, bridging traditional African art with that of the contemporary art movements of the present day. After moving to the United States, Bamazi studied at the Art Students League of New York and earned a MFA at the New York Academy of Art before moving to Columbus, Ohio. From 2004 until 2011, Bamazi operated a gallery called KIACA (Kabiye Impact Contemporary African Art), which was the only black-owned gallery in Columbus' noted arts' district, the Short North, and one of the few black-owned galleries in the city. KIACA served as an influential talent incubator for many Columbus-area African and African-American artists, including psycheñwelic painter April Sunami and Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson. Bamazi also served as the lead artist-in-residence at the King Arts Complex, where his monumental series of life-sized portraits of Columbus-area black artists was featured at the Columbus Museum of Art and now hangs in the historic Pythian theater. Bamazi continues to live and work in Columbus and has had his work featured in Art in America, Monarch Magazine, C-BUS Magazine, Valentine New York Art Magazine, and Diva Magazine, among many others.

BARBARA HEPWORTH (1903-1975) “Delos” Lithograph on Wove Paper

$3,000.00
This lithograph by famed English artist Barbara Hepworth (1903-1975) depicts an abstract composition of black lines and circular designs against a bright field of lemon yellow. Hepworth, a prominent modernist artist amongst the St. Ives, Cornwall colony of creatives during the Second World War, is best remembered for her sculptures, making this lithograph a rare find for the savvy collector. Housed in a sleek, contemporary black frame, this original lithograph is signed and numbered 20/30 by the artist along the bottom of the woven paper. About the Artist: Dame Barbara Hepworth was born on January 10th, 1903 in Wakefield, West Riding of Yorkshire, the eldest daughter to a middle class family. Proficient in music and the arts, Hepworth won a scholarship to study at the Leeds School of Art in 1920, where she met Henry Moore, whom she would befriend and maintain a friendly rivalry throughout their professional careers. Despite the isolation of working in a male-dominated environment, Hepworth won a second scholarship to attend the Royal College of Art in 1921 and studied there until her graduation in 1924. After graduation, Hepworth traveled to Italy and learned how to carve marble from sculptor Giovanni Ardini, marrying fellow sculptor John Skeaping and having her first child before moving back to London. Hepworth fell in love with painter Ben Nicholson, who she would marry in 1938, while becoming highly interested in abstraction and she later traced to Paris to visit the studios of Pablo Picasso, Jean Arp, and Constantin Brancusi. The breakout of World War II brought new challenges to Hepworth, who maintained her career while also raising triplets. In 1939, Hepworth and her family moved to St. Ives in Cornwall, where she would live the rest of her life. Hepworth continued working and, despite her ambivalence toward international market recognition, she eventually established gallery relationships in the United States in the 1950s before expanding her studio space in 1960. Working on large scale commissions, Hepworth began experimenting with lithography in her later work and received a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 1958, followed by a Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 1965. Hepworth remained working until her death at the hands of an accidental fire in her studio in 1975 at the age of 72. Her studio and home have since become the Barbara Hepworth Museum and her work has been shown throughout the world, including major retrospectives and exhibitions at the Tate and the Heide Museum of Modern Art.

He adopted Italy as his new homeland and remained there for most of his adult life. His subject matter was varied and included landscapes, seascapes, figures, genre and historical scenes.

ANDRÉ MASSON (1896-1987) Signed and Numbered Lithograph

$1,200.00

An original signed and numbered lithograph by famed French artist André Masson (1896-1987) reminiscent of Masson’s works in automatic drawing. Featuring graphic marks on a vivid ground of red, blue, yellow, and green, Masson’s surrealistic mark-making invites viewers to investigate the image and form their own meaning within the piece. Framed in silver and signed and numbered at the bottom.

About the Artist: André Masson(1896-1987) was born in Balagny-sur-Thérain, Oise and began to study art at the age of 11 at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, later moving his studies to Paris. Masson’s early work displayed an interest in Cubism, but he later became more closely associated with Surrealism, becoming more of the more enthusiastic advocates of automatic drawing; a practice in which the hand is allowed to move randomly across the paper or canvas. Under the German occupation of France, Masson was labeled a degenerate artist by the Nazi regime and he later moved away from Surrealism, adopting a more structured style with themes of eroticism and violence. After escaping France to America, Masson’s work became an important influence on burgeoning Abstract Expressionists, such as Jackson Pollock, as he worked in Connecticut.  Following the war, he returned to France and continued to paint until his death in 1987 at the age of 91.

JOHAN BARTHOLD JONGKIND (1819-1891) Original Oil Nightscape on Panel

$24,000.00
Own a piece of art history with this original oil on panel painting by the illustrious Dutch master and frontrunner of Impressionism, Johan Barthold Jongkind (1819-1891). This painting on panel features a moonlit maritime scene that Jongkind is best known for. This painting is considered “nocturnally perfect” with radiating moonlight in a cloudy sky being perfectly reflected in the shimmering waters underneath. The low horizon, deep contrast in color, and loose yet intentional brushstrokes are quintessential to Jongkind’s style. In 1874, Jongkind was extended an invitation to participate in the first exhibition of Impressionist works at the Salon in Paris, but declined. Following the rejection of his painting “Moonlight in Rotterdam” at the 1873 Salon, he refused to participate in such exhibitions again. This exact painting was created in 1874, at that pivotal point in the Impressionist movement and in art history as a whole. This painted panel is framed in an aged gold frame with a paper label on the reverse. Jongkind’s signature and the year 1874 is found in the bottom left corner of the composition. About the Artist: Johan Bathold Jongkind (1819-1891) was a Dutch painter and printmaker who is widely recognized as a forefather of Impressionism. After training at the art academy in The Hague, he moved to Monparnasse, Paris. After studying and working for two years, he was accepted into the Paris Salon exhibition. Despite receiving praise from critics Charles Baudelaire and Emile Zola, he experienced little success that induced depression worsened by alcoholism. Jongkind would continue to struggle with his mental health and dependency issues throughout his life. He returned to Holland for 5 years before going back to Paris, renting a studio and developing a style that would be critical to the consequent Impressionist movement. He met  Eugène BoudinAlfred Sisley, and Claude Monet, and became a mentor to the three young artists. Monet  attributed the “definitive education” of his artistic eye to JongkindJongkind mostly focused on marine landscapes, consistently employing strong contrasts and lively brushwork. Following in Dutch tradition, most of his works feature a low horizon to emphasize the sky. His legacy is strong in both the art market and in museum collections around the world. Although his contemporaries admired his work and style, his distaste for social gatherings and salons may have been what prevented him from coming to the forefront of the Impressionist movement. However, his background contributions were equally as important to him personally and many other young artists.
