"Steinbeck Re-Visited" by Robert Glick is a 20" x 16" oil on canvas that gracefully intersects the realms of contemporary abstract expressionism and geometric portraiture. Glick’s homage to the esteemed author is crafted with a palette of deep reds and warm earth tones, set against a backdrop of geometric patterns that suggest both the complexity of Steinbeck's narratives and the era he depicted. The artist employs abstract elements not to obscure but to emphasize Steinbeck's contemplative gaze, as if caught in a moment of profound thought or literary creation. Glick's portrayal evokes a sense of nostalgia, while simultaneously offering a modern reinterpretation of a historical figure, blending timelessness with a fresh perspective. The painting invites introspection and reverence, resonating with the enduring impact of Steinbeck’s literary contributions.

Mid-Century Modern Man - Portrait in Oil on Canvas
Located in Soquel, CA
Subtle and moody portrait of a Pensive man by Joan Tidwell (American, 1930-2002). The sitter in the portrait is a middle-aged man looking slightly downwards, wearing a collared shirt. This piece is completed in a tan and green palette, creating a somber feeling. Of particular note are the confident, thick brushstrokes - each one is well-placed in the modernist style. Similar in some ways to Picasso's portraits.
