No.12, from 100 Series, Watercolour Painting by Gwyther Irwin, circa 1981
Located in Kingsclere, GB
No.12, from 100 Series, Watercolour Painting by Gwyther Irwin 1931-2008, circa 1981 Additional information: Medium: Watercolour 66 x 81.3 cm 26 x 32 in signed and titled Gwyther Irwin was a British abstract artist, known for his large paper collages. David Gwyther Broome Irwin was born in Basingstoke, Hampshire, but grew up at Foredore House in Trebetherick, on the north coast of Cornwall. He was educated at Bryanston School in Dorset, where Roger Hilton was his art master. The artist chose to continue his studies in London, moving to Bloomsbury and studying at Goldsmith's Art School (1951-1952) and the Central School of Art, Holborn (1952-1955). During the '50s Irwin was experimenting with European avant-garde styles such as art brut, graffiti, and the use of found images. This all fed into a style which is all his own, a form of 'three-dimensional collage', half-way between painting and sculpture. It was in 1957 that his work first came to prominence, with a solo exhibition at Gallery One, his inclusion in the celebrated exhibition 'Metavisual, Tachiste, Abstract' at the Redfern Gallery, as well as exhibiting at the AIA Gallery, Rome New York Art Foundation and 'Dimensions' at the O'Hana Gallery. He showed in Australia, Paris and New York. His first solo exhibition with Gimpel Fils in 1959 was critically acclaimed. The artist was part of the 'Situation' group in 1961 when Sylvia Sleigh...

Guitare sur un guéridon by Pablo Picasso
Located in New Orleans, LA
Pablo Picasso 1881-1973 Spanish Guitare sur un guéridon (Guitar on a pedestal) Gouache on Western wove paper laid on board Signed “Picasso” (upper left) Picasso’s prolific career has been marked by many grand love affairs, both romantic, intellectual and creative. Beyond his lovers like Olga Khoklova and Dora Maar and his intellectual muses like Georges Braques and Gertrude Stein, Picasso’s greatest love and inspiration was perhaps a humble instrument: the guitar. Whether it be the Old Guitarist from his early blue period, his groundbreaking series of three-dimensional guitar sculptures from his nascent explorations in Cubism, or his Mandolin and Guitar composition’s grander explorations with color and biomorphic shapes, the guitar is an elusive calling card for modern art’s greatest genius. In Guitare sur un guéridon, Picasso intertwines his signature guitar and a bowl of fruit. These two elements are playfully brought together and skillfully anchored on the tabletop by a square positioned at the center of the composition. The result is a captivating and harmonious arrangement that showcases Picasso's artistic ingenuity in blending these everyday objects into a visually striking and cohesive composition. This rare gouache was created during the pivotal summer of 1920. During this time, Picasso lived in Juan-les-Pins, a small coastal resort town in the South of France away from the confines of the city and the fallout of World War I. With this newfound freedom, Picasso entered an exciting and innovative creative period and began to interrogate the connections between Neoclassicism and Cubism. Picasso created a series of gouache paintings characterized by their flat, geometric nature, sinuous contours and strikingly vivid colors. Though not a complete departure from his previous Cubist works, this series showcased the influence of the Surrealists, especially the biomorphic subconscious explorations of Joan Miró, upon Picasso’s oeuvre. While the breadth of his creativity grew, he returned back to a familiar motif — the guitar — with a renewed sense of vigor and excitement. Guitare sur un guéridon’s undulating lines and biomorphic appeal bring Picasso's preoccupation with the guitar into deeper focus. The sinuous lines of guitar mirror...
