In our current auction you will be impressed with the excellent quality and interesting variety of all of the items that have been lovingly gathered from years of world travel. While every auction seems to bring new knowledge, this one enhanced my appreciation for the Power of Art with these thirty four treasures.
We can really see the expression of the talent and creative force of each artist in very different ways. They manipulate their own materials and tools to transcend time to reach us. Isn’t it amazing that feelings can be generated, people can be touched, and spaces can be changed just by bringing art into a room?
The Chinese work in this auction demonstrates the talent and creative force of nature. We know that these artists train under a master’s supervision for years. They must practice each brush stroke thousands of times to make the work appear effortlessly. There can be no mistake or the entire piece would be ruined. See item 15
The watercolor of the Arab Mother and Child returning from the market evokes feelings of tenderness and care for the tasks at hand as well as the child in hand. Just a few lines and color and we are there. See item 9.
The oil on wood of the Rain in Paris allows us to experience a glimpse of that romantic city. For those who have experienced that Paris in person these memories are as fresh as summer rain. See item 7.
Traditional methods of paint and brush are cast aside for scissors in the wonderful examples of Polish Wycinanki. See items 10 and 11.
Susan W. Reynolds in her book, Room for Change, reminds us that the word atmosphere is the “dominant mood or emotional tone of a work of art”. p 51. “Hanging a collection of artwork or photos is an ideal way to create a new focal point for the room and heighten the beauty of an existing piece of furniture.” p 77.
Imagine what any one of these fine pieces from around the world would do to elevate your mood and transform your space. That is the power of art! Happy choosing!
Happy Bidding!
