Joseph Vasica Paintings
American, 1921-2008
Joseph Vasica was born in Vienna, Austria in 1921. He immigrated to Canada during World War II and then to the United States in 1960. After traveling throughout the country, Vasica settled in San Francisco, California, calling it home for 44 years. He was an accomplished San Francisco artist; his paintings are held in museums and private collections. His works were highly praised by Alfred Frankenstein, a leading art critic of the era.
Vasica’s abstractions of the 1960s and 1970s are considered his most outstanding works and have been compared to Albrecht Dürer by many art critics. His works are included in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) and the former Volante Collection. Vasica’s work was exhibited in 1970 and is currently held in the collection of the Boise Gallery of Art, Boise, Idaho (known today as the Boise Art Museum). In 1971, he exhibited at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor in a one-man show. In 1977, Vasica exhibited at a one-man show at the Hoover Gallery, San Francisco. He was also part of a group show at this same gallery in 1979. In 1980, he exhibited at the Vorpal Gallery in Soho, New York. His works were handled by the Pomeroy Galleries in San Francisco for many years. Vasica and his work are included in the book entitled “San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Painting and Sculpture Collection.” He is also listed in the book "Art of San Francisco 1945-1980: An Illustrated History," by Thomas Albright. He was featured seven times in the magazine Architectural Digest.

Everything is Early (Colorful Autumn colors Large Abstract Oil painting, Nature)
By Richmond Burton
Located in Cody, WY
Richmond Burton’s works are known for their kaleidoscopic color, undulating patterns, and lyrical handling of expressionistic mark making. His Visceral, seductive, and organic compositions play with decorative patterning without compromising a conceptual backbone. Their intensity of vision allows for transcendent thought, experience, and connection while challenging any preconceived norms or rules defining abstract painting.
“Structure is never absent; it’s just uninsistent, even accidental. The paintings are built up in stages, but never give the impression of being hard-worked. They have a fluid, textural presence, like luxury fabrics printed with overlapping, off-register layers of patterning.” — Holland Cotter, The New York Times (1999).
Richmond Burton (b. 1960, Talladega, AL) obtained a BA in architecture from Rice University Houston, TX (1984). He lives and works in Woodstock, NY. Burton has shown extensively both domestically and internationally and has work in the collections of The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL; The Broad, Los Angeles, CA; Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, TX; Fogg Museum at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY; Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York, NY; and National Gallery of Art, Washington DC, among others. Recent solo exhibitions include venues such as Sarah Moody Gallery of Art at University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL (2015); Silas Marder Gallery, Bridgehampton, NY (2014); Philip Slein Gallery, St. Louis, MO (2013); and George Lawson...
