Wanted to take this one home from Bonhams NYC, but... outbid. 'The Hidden Apple,' Philip Evergood (1901-1973). In the mid-1940s, his attention was increasingly toward the plight of women. The painting "creates so vividly the sense of a vital and vulgar humanity." Evergood said, "There's a universal Eve there, yet there's a pathos, I felt." liveauctioneers.com/item/15880

It's a face only a lover of Evergood could like. 🙂 Hanging it!
'Head of a Man', 1962, Philip Evergood (1901-1973)
Evergood became one of the leading Modernists of the 20th Century, with styles in the mid-century combining abstraction & magic realism. His subjects in the 1930s made him one of the leading Social Realists of the period. Private collection.

I couldn't help myself; happy birthday to me. Large, mesmerizing abstract expressionist work, 1970s. 'Five Nudes on Blue," Harold Frank (1921-1995). "Like his idol de Kooning, variations on women became a lifelong, consistent, ubiquitous theme." Growing up in the tenements of the Lower East Side during the Great Depression, he found Abstract Expressionism an ideal means to explore the angst of his world.

It was the last painting sitting on his easel. It was also radically different in texture & tone from his better-known masterpieces of a decade earlier. What holds us entranced is the carefully choreographed clash of pattern & pigment that reveals how far Klimt had travelled creatively in the decade before his death. bbc.com/culture/article/202306

Nostalgia

A view from the river Olt valley, as it was before the '70s. Now the big stone known as "Trajan's Table" is submerged under the river, after the construction of a string of dams along the valley.

Ink in my sketchbook, based on a very old postcard

When I bring an artwork home, I become more than its 'owner.' I believe I also become its steward -- understanding its history, and, where needed, conserving it. This contemporary work is a prime example: the egg tempera medium used is exhibiting heavy craquelure, with scattered flaking damaging the work. Next week, it visits the conservator for restoration.

"Episode at Fire Island," Philip Evergood (1901-1973), 1967. Evergood was one of the leading Modernists of the 20th Century, combining abstraction and magic realism. He was a "figurative painter when much of the art world placed greater value on abstraction, & a moralist when moralizing was not considered an option for serious painters" Private collection.

A public fountain at an alley corner in the Kasbah of Algiers.

Ink & watercolor sketch.

In a country where water is scarce and precious, building a public fountain is an act of great generosity. In many places, where two narrow alleys meet, there are public fountains, adorned with tiles in arabesque and columns with elaborate carvings, offering the most precious gift: water.

Agar.io is a multiplayer online action game. Players control one or more circular cells. The goal is to gain as much mass as possible by eating agar and cells smaller than the player's cell while avoiding larger ones which can eat the player's cells.
In the painting, the theme is gambling addiction: Agar comes out of the game and envelops the gambler's head, subjugating him.
