About the Item

Expressionist still life painting in green-black-orange colors by Serge Labégorre - professionally framed Passionate still life designed with thick brush strokes of acrylic paint that appears even more plastic and vivid due to the black framing of the objects. Handmade shadow gap frame (6.0cm) with white gold decoration. Serge Labégorre, born December 1932 in Talence, is a French painter of the expressionist movement. Serge Labégorre lives and works in the Gironde, near Libourne. After a long illness that forced him to immobility, Labégorre knew how to make a strength: the painting will be his form of expression and he will dedicate all his life to it.The meeting, at the College of Libourne, with the professor of drawing of genius, Henri Charnay, will be a second opportunity in his life of the artist. The work of Serge Labégorre is characterized by the strength of his drawing, which immediately attracts our attention: the line is sure, without ambiguity, the look is lively, penetrating, determined, and the black background that surrounds him, far from engulfing him, increases his determination even more. It is a hymn to life, a victory for life, despite its vicissitudes. There is no despair in Labégorre's work, only the strength to overcome and give back to man all his nobility. Serge Labégorre is considered one of the greatest living French expressionists. In his career spanning several decades Labégorre has exhibited all over the world. He has trusted very few agents with his works over the years, refusing famously to collaborate with one of the biggest Asian art dealers as this would become ‘painting to order’. He says of his art “Painting is a desire, I let what I carry inside me unknowingly of violence, heartbreak, suffering and love emerge, and I try to tune into it.” So I feel honoured as a close friend to have been given his complete trust and to bring his work here to Miami. My late grandfather David Goodman, Artist, fellow Art Agent, gallery owner and founder of the Chichester Society first discovered Serge Labégorre in 1968 in France. Working alongside Sir Lawrence Olivier he offered to represent the talented young artist at The Chichester Festival, Serge left his job as a teacher and spent a year painting for the festival. As promised it launched his long and successful career and a long personal and professional relationship blossomed between he and my grandfather. Serge’s wonderful daughter Sophie recently took me to Fronsac, Bordeaux to the farmhouse and studio the artist shares with his wife Rosie where I uncovered many unseen pieces . He has agreed to exhibit some of these older pieces exclusively for this exhibition. Since 1956 he has exhibited in Bordeaux, Toulouse, Pau, Paris, but also in Porto, New York and San Francisco. The real ''impetus'' for Serge Labégorre to devote himself fully to his art came in 1966 through a contract with an English gallery. Since then, this master of contemporary expressionism has exhibited all over the world and continuously in France. Many collectors trusted him since his first steps in painting, and new ones come regularly. Serge Labégorre's paintings are exhibited in museums in Paris, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Tokyo, Geneva, Brussels, New York, San Francisco, London, Zurich and so on.

Modern Cubistic Painting in Acrylics on Canvas by Fritzie Abadi, New York 2001

Modern Cubistic Painting in Acrylics on Canvas by Fritzie Abadi, New York 2001

By Fritzie Abadi

Located in Salzburg, AT

Cubist painting in acrylics on canvas, Fritzie Abadi New York, 2001 In strong muted colors, angular figures and elements are divided and reassembled in a different context. The elements are partly bright and finely outlined, which makes this even more plastic and stronger in their effect. The high, narrow format makes the image a special eye-catcher. Expressive modern representation in handmade shadow gap frame. The frame is 4.5cm wide and has a slightly raised silver-plated front bar of 1.5cm. Fritzie Abadi (1915 – 2001) was an American painter, sculptor, and collage artist. Born in Aleppo, which was then part of the Ottoman Empire. Biography: The daughter of a rabbi, Abadi lived in Palestine until she was nine years old. She then emigrated to New York City in 1924. She won a drawing competition while attending Bay Ridge High School, and this fostered an early interest in art. She married at eighteen and moved to Oklahoma City, giving birth to two daughters and "forgot about art". In 1945 she returned to Brooklyn, and in 1946 she enrolled in the Art Students League of New York; there she studied under Nahum Tschacbasov. Her work is included in several museum collections such as the Butler Institute of American Art, the Evansville Museum of Arts and Science, the Slater Memorial Museum, and the Georgia Museum of Art. She has also exhibited in many venues throughout her career. She has also received several awards including the Acrylic Painting Award of the National Association of Women Artists (1974) and the Box Assemblage Award from the American Society of Contemporary Artists (1979). She was a member of both institutions, serving on the board of the former in 1970 and as president of the latter from 1970 to 1972; she was on the board of the New York Society of Women Artists in 1980, and was also a member of Women in the Arts and the Hudson River Contemporary Artists. A small collection of documentary material is owned by the Archives of American Art. References: Jules Heller...
