About the Item
A modern pastel drawing on paper by Detroit artist Charles Culver. Hand signed in pencil bottom right. A dreamy landscape of seaside mountains. Per the artist, "I try to 'see' though not too exactly; I try to think though not too ponderously; I feel emotion yet I try not to become overwrought. I interpret rather than describe, and design rather than depict. I work with values, not light and shade; hence, when I am successful, I achieve substance rather than three-dimensional form, and this satisfies me as being wholly sufficient. In my work I wish to be serious without becoming a bore, exuberant without being frivolous, humorous without being silly. I believe that good paintings are conceived, not contrived; and I am interested in art much more than in pictures." From a private collection. Dimensions: 17.5"h x 22.75"w x 1"d (framed). In very good vintage condition.
Charles Culver (1908-1967) was a Detroit based painter, illustrator, and teacher. In the 1950s, he was a professor at Arts and Crafts in Detroit (now College of Creative Studies). Culver created hundreds of painting for Ford Times as well as writing children's books and cartoons for the Royal Oak Tribune. He had over 25 one-man shows in the Detroit area alone, won 14 prizes at the "Exhibition for Michigan Artists" sponsored by the DIA, including the Scarab Club Gold Medal in 1940-43, and is represented by some 90 paintings in the DIA's permanent collection. Culver's paintings can be found in museums and private collections both nationally and internationally.

Robert Kelly Kalasa V Signed Modern Abstract Aquatint Etching 5/50 Framed, 1985
By Robert Kelly
Located in Keego Harbor, MI
A bold and graphic modern aquatint etching in colors titled "Kalasa V" by Robert Kelly. Hand signed in pencil on the bottom right with an annotation of 5/50 on the bottom left. Published in 1985. Kelly's work intricately combines influences of the Bauhaus from Van Doesburg to Mondrian, with those of Schwitters and Klee, Kelly weds hints of the historical with the contemporary. His play of edges, angles, and cuts creates a tension and an intuitive logic to the placement of line and form. Kelly's work investigates the idea of doubleness through images that reflect, oppose, or mimic each other. Dimensions: 32"w x 1.5"d x 37"h (framed). In very good vintage condition.
Robert Kelly (1956- ) paintings have been acquired by public and private collections in Europe and the United States, including The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Brooklyn Museum, New Mexico Museum of Art, Milwaukee Art Museum, Smith College Art Museum, Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum, Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, The Fogg Museum, The Margulies Collection, and the McNay Art Museum. Kelly has traveled throughout the United States, Europe, North Africa, the Near East, and Nepal. His work often incorporates unusual materials from his journeys, among them vintage posters and printed antique...
