My annual "art I'm loving" round-up is inspired by some recent art museum visits.
Rhythm of Bird Flight by Erika Giovanna Klien
Discover the art I'm loving in Part 5 of my annual round-up. Explore vibrant pieces from Klien, Eisenman, Sage, and more. Art I'm loving awaits!
Erika Giovanna Klien (1900 – 1957) was an Austrian-Hungarian painter that took part in the Viennese Kineticism movement. This photo does not capture the vibrancy of the real painting.
From Success to Obscurity by Nicole Eisenman
Nicole Eisenman (1965 – present) is an French-born American artist focused on abstraction of the human form.
In the Third Sleep by Kay Sage
Kay Sage (1898 – 1963) was an American surrealist painter fascinated with the unconscious and human form as architecture.
The Soothsayer's Recompense by Giorgio de Chirico
Giorgio de Chirico (1888 – 1978) was an Italian artist of the metaphysical school whose surrealist imagery really resonates with me in a post-COVID world. This empty, clean world can be an unsettling horror.
From the Lake No. 1 by Georgia O'Keefe
Georgia O'Keeffe (1887 – 1986) was an an American modernist painter famous for her abstract art, especially close-ups of flowers, and New Mexico landscapes. Her abstract color studies of water have a vibrancy of light that cannot be captured by a camera. In person, this painting glows from within.
Tamara de Lempicka versus Georgia O'Keefe
At the Summer 2024 special exhibit on Georgia O'Keefe (1887 – 1986) at the Art Institute of Chicago, I was struck by how similar her paintings are to those of Tamara de Lempicka (1898 – 1980). Their clouds and buildings also remind me of Giorgio de Chirico and Kay Sage, but the comparison is strongest when looking at their studies of lilies and New York skyscrapers.
