About the Item
This painting by Michasel Tyzack (1933-2007) is a bold composition with an equally bold palette. It measures 36 in x 64 in (91cm x 162 cm) and is composed of acrylic on canvas. The background colors are some kind of wash The piece is titled "Small Nocturnal #2" and dated 1981. It is signed en verso on the stretcher "Michael Tyzack." The painting is in very good condition with a very small amount of surface grime on the edges of the wraparound canvas.
Michael Tyzack was born in Sheffield in August 1933. He studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London where he gained his D.F.A. in painting, drawing and printmaking in 1955. In 1956 Tyzack won a French Government Scholarship that allowed him to travel to Paris and Menton, where his work began to show a tendency towards abstraction and the influence of Cezanne.
Also a talented musician, Tyzack returned to England in 1957 to pursue a career as a Jazz trumpeter, continuing to paint in his spare time.
In 1965 he won first prize in the prestigious John Moores' Liverpool Exhibition and continued to exhibit at prominent galleries and museums in England and America during the 1960s and 1970s, Michael Tyzack had an impressive exhibition history and showed with, among others, Bridget Riley and at galleries including Mappin Art Gallery, Betty Parsons Gallery, Richard Demarco and Abbot Hall. He is represented in numerous prestigious collections worldwide and was included in Tate Liverpool's British Abstract Painting and Sculpture from 1960-1970.
Tyzack moved to Iowa to fill a teaching post in 1971 - originally planning to stay only one year. However, he and his family decided to remain in America after he was offered the post of Professor of Fine Arts at the College of Charleston, where he lived until his death in 2007.
Although his emigration to the United States drew Michael Tyzack away from England at a key point in his artistic career, his role as a leading figure in the development of British Abstraction during the '60s and '70s is evident from his exhibition record. His work is represented in a large number of public collections worldwide as a result.

Abstract #18
, by Anthony Dyke, Oil Painting on Panel
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
This 11" x 14" oil on canvas painting is by Boston-based artist, Anthony Dyke. The painting is an example of geometric abstraction, composed through an arrangement of rectilinear forms, each rendered in bold, saturated color.
Dominating the left side is a deep green vertical rectangle and adjacent to it is a narrow red vertical stripe, generating a visual dialogue between the broader green plane and the surrounding forms. A field of light blue occupies the top portion above. mid-composition, a horizontal mint green band stretches across the surface, and on top rests a tilted rectangular form shifting from white to warm red in a subtle gradient. To the far right, a tall blue vertical bar intersects with a fine yellow line. The base of the painting features a complex layering of darker hues: a black horizontal stripe, accompanied by stacked rectangles in red, purple, and yellow.
Anthony Dyke was born in Norwich, Vermont and attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University earning a BFA and MFA in painting. As an artist and arts educator, he relocated from New York City to his downtown Oklahoma City studio, working there for two decades before returning to Boston in 2020. Coming from Vermont where the seasons are distinctly different from one another, his shift from a pastoral setting to an urban environment set up a dichotomy in the work, both visual and emotional. Tony has an extensive education in painting, photography, graphic design and figure sculpture. These mediums intersect in his work through many years of creating artworks and currently speak to his interest in abstract painting. During his senior year in the BFA Program at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, my large painting “Natole” was chosen by Frank Stella (the juror) into the highly competitive and prestigious Dana Pond...
