Eduard Angeli Cities on Water
February 4, 2023 through April 2, 2023
Eduard Angeli (b. Austria, 1942) began spending summers in Venice, Italy in 2002 and 2003 and in 2004 he went there to live. Before this he had lived, and painted, in Istanbul and more recently sojourned for a long period in St. Petersburg. Hence the title of this exhibition, with eighteen large works depicting motifs from these three cities.
He is a landscape painter in his favored medium of charcoal. His motifs derive from but do not copy nature. They instead convey ‘ideas’, or realities beyond appearances: ideas that Descartes would classify as ‘adventitious’ and which evoke hidden and mysterious sensations. His somber scenes, deprived of human beings, echoing what commentators of Edward Hopper’s art call “the loneliness thing”, express a delicious, sentimental melancholy,
This exhibition is

curated by Philip Rylands, President and CEO of The Society of the Four Arts, and organized by The Four Arts.
