About the Item
Kimon Nicolaides
Abstract #20 (Factory or Flame: Energy Manifestation), 1933
Oil on canvas
48 x 22 inches
Provenance
Tomlin-Acheson Fine Arts, Santa Monica, California
Private Collection, Pasadena, California
Kimon Nicolaides was born in Washington, DC, in 1891, his first contact with art was a subconscious familiarity with oriental objects imported by his father. He decided at an early age that he wanted to paint and had to run away from home to study art because his parents were indifferent to the idea. He lived in New York where he supported himself with jobs of all kinds, such as image making, writing for a newspaper and even acting as a film extra. His father was eventually won over by his obvious seriousness and financed his instruction at the Art Students League, under the direction of Bridgman, Miller and Sloan.
After a period of work in Paris (1922-1923), he held his first solo exhibition there at the famous Bernheim Jeune gallery. Back in New York, he exhibited at the old Whitney Studio Club, now converted into a museum, and devoted himself to teaching painting.
As a painter, we can highlight the originality of his technical approach, the richness of his mental concepts and his restless pursuit of new aesthetic experiences.
As a teacher, over the next fifteen years, he became, as Art Digest wrote, "a second father" to hundreds of students who passed through his classes at the Art Students League of New York. Scrupulously honest and highly principled, gifted with humor, richness and warmth of personality, sanity and poise, his extraordinary talent for human relationships grew in his extensive contact with a growing number of students.
Although he died in 1938, at a tragically early age, he left a large and devoted following of brilliant young artists, as well as a unique and concrete system of art teaching.

Ouverture, with Cypress Forms, 1982
Signed, dated and titled on the stretcher
Acrylic paint, mixed media, and burlap on canvas
60 x 40 inches
An artist who worked in the post-cubist and constructivist traditions, Stephen P. Edlich gained a considerable amount of acclaim in the 1970s and 1980s for his collages, sculpture, and paintings. His promising career was cut short due to his untimely death at age 45 in 1989.
Edlich was born in New York City. He received his undergraduate degree with a major in fine arts studies from New York University in 1967. During his college years, he traveled to London, where he met the art dealer Victor Waddington and created his first white on white collage. In that same year, he attended a major exhibition of the work of Ben Nicholson, which would be influential source in his art. Edlich returned to England in 1967, where he met Barbara Hepworth and Patrick Heron in London and traveled to St. Ives, Cornwall, long a favorite artists' haunt. Edlich began creating acrylic reliefs...

"Untitled" William Scharf, Abstract Expressionist, New York School
By William Scharf
Located in New York, NY
William Scharf
Untitled, 1962
Signed lower left; signed and dated verso
Oil on canvas
48 x 50 inches
A visionary painter with ties to the avant-garde artistic community in New York at midcentury, William Scharf nevertheless defies art historical categorization. His abstracted compositions of organic and geometric formal elements recall the free associations of Surrealism and the all-over grandeur of Abstract Expressionism, and at the same time embody a very individual and immediately recognizable pictorial sense. Scharf combines virtuoso paint handling, vibrant color, and rich symbolic language in canvases that engage the viewer in a transcendent and emotional dialogue. This dialogue is accomplished in part through recurring symbols, which allude to hidden, mysterious narratives. Scharf plumbs the psychological wells of collective myths for symbolic content: the crown of thorns, the ladder, the fish, and the cross can be found throughout, functioning not, as one might expect, as religious symbols, but rather as a means through which to access a deeper, symbolic level of visual communication.
Born in 1927 in Media, Pennsylvania, an early friendship with renowned artist N.C. Wyeth encouraged Scharf’s artistic efforts from a very young age. After a time with the Army Air Corps in the mid-1940s, Scharf formalized his art studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts under Franklin Watkins...
