ADDICTIONS: SONGS WITHOUT WORDS
“It is a widely accepted notion among painters that it does not matter what one paints as long as it is well painted. This is the essence of academic painting. However, there is no such thing as a good painting about nothing.”…Mark Rothko
It has been one year since we last published a large catalogue devoted to our vast inventories touching upon our passion for Post-War and modern works of art. When you peruse the following pages please pause a moment and realize that each work of art on each page has a backstory. When and where was it created? Where did it go after its creation and to whom? Over the years of its initial acquisition who lived with it and who viewed it? Was it loaned to exhibitions or museums? Has it traded hands only once or numerous times and eventually how did we acquire it? Well… all of the above are wonderfully curious questions one doesn’t generally think about, but in my life it is all I think about. The backstories and future of all these great works of art have finally come home to me. As times change, we continue to keep reinventing ourselves. Our growth as well as our desire to learn is paramount in keeping us current.
Our focus lies mostly in Post-War art, which surprisingly comprises many more movements than one would expect. Personally, I immediately think of the Abstract Expressionists but then you realize from their movement basically everything after that is a result of those artists to this day. A short list consists of the following movements such as, Bay Area, Black Mountain College, Cobra, Color Field, Gutai Group, Pop, Conceptual Art, Minimalism, Hard Edge, Kinetic Art and Realism etc. etc. and when you really think about it, they all are somehow related intellectually. I haven’t until recently realized that my continuing interests are all connected to my love of Abstract Expressionism and its influencing echo on all of the artists after them to the present day. You will see that our current catalogue “Songs Without Words” touches upon all of these movements.
The label Abstract Expressionism was established in New York City in the 1940s and 1950s of painters whose compositions were filled with abstract forms of color painted with vigorous gesture attacking their canvases with personal emotions as expressions within themselves. Their universal themes were shaped from European modernism and abstraction but translated into something purely American. Like American Jazz, the Abstract Expressionists lead the way to the future of painting and it all came out of the trauma, anxiety and realization of what they experienced as survivors of WWII. This gave them a new beginning and a chance to reinvent themselves not realizing their effect on the future of art forever. I believe that all the Post-War movements to this day were born from this group of artists. They were all exceptional craftsmen with no boundaries enabling them to follow their intuitive flow taking themselves to new places intellectually and magically discovering places they never dreamed of arriving at. They were becoming their own teachers and to this day their influence is a paradigm that will never fade.
For me art is the purist addiction that exists and over time have realized that its eclectic relationship with color, form and space connect everything in mysterious ways. Mendelssohn’s, “Songs Without Words” is a series of compositions for piano consisting of eight volumes containing six songs each written over his lifetime. Even though they were written over a lifetime they all relate, much like the various art movements that were born from Abstract Expressionism. Once again we have put our heart and soul into what we believe to be a complete statement for you to appreciate. Hopefully our passion and enthusiasm will fuel your quest to absorb new ideas as the mystery of art unfolds around you.
I continue to believe that the future is all about the past.
