About the Item

Eleanor Arnold Clark (American, 1911-1982) The Meeting Oil on canvas Signed lower right 25 x 29 inches 36 x 40 inches, framed Eleanor Arnold Clark was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She began her career as a painter of the American Scene, focusing upon rural landscapes and portraits of friends and family. However, Clark did not stick tenaciously to the realist idiom after 1940. After studying for a year (1935-36) at the Art Students’ League in New York under the celebrated abstractionist Hans Hofmann, Clark began to move quite sharply towards geometric abstraction and eventually adopted an Abstract Expressionist idiom. Unlike Hofmann, Clark never became purely non-representational in her painting, as she continued to use the human figure (albeit highly stylized) to express a range of human emotions and interpersonal motivations.

Untitled Painting 2 Women Engaged in Dialogue by Bela Kadar
By Bela Kadar
Located in New York, NY
Painting by Bela Kadar Bela Kadar was born in Hungary in 1877. Amongst his early interests was mural painting. Like many of the artists of his day he was drawn to Paris and Berlin, and by 1910 he had visited both cities twice. In 1923, Kadar showed his paintings in Berlin at the invitation of Herwarth Walden. Walden was an important figure in the German avant-garde, being the publisher of the journal Der Sturm which featured the works of Franz Marc, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Marc Chagall and Oskar Kokoschka. During the group exhibition at Walden's gallery with other artists of Der Sturm, Kadar met Katherine Dreier whose Société Anonyme was instrumental in bringing the work of the European avant-garde to New York. With her help two major exhibitions of his work were planned for the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the second of which in September 1928 Kadar travelled from Europe to attend. Bela Kadar incorporated themes of Hungarian folklore...
