Self Portrait by Nora Heysen, 1932, Art Gallery of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia)

#ArtHistory #ModernArt #Realism #Modernism

I painted that self-portrait in my father's studio - on the walls were several Vermeer prints. I greatly admired Vermeer's works and wanted to paint like him - perhaps Vermeer and my father were my biggest influences in those days .." - Nora Heysen, 1970s

Hevsen's assured "Self Portrait" was one of an exceptional number of such portraits made at a time when the young painter felt confident of achieving independence from her famous artist- father Hans Heysen, as an artist in her owr right. In common with her other paintings of the 1930s, its powerful composition of strongly defined forms, precise hard paint quality and earthy colours recalls European masters of the early Renaissance

In 2007 & 2008 I advocated for the preservation of a significant, modern architectural resource in Eugene, OR; the former Lew Williams / Joe Romania Showroom.

I wrote to a bunch of folks and received responses from both Grant Seder (architect) and Dave Frohnmayer (former UO President).

A new location for this collector, and so a new wall for my Shell painting. Love how it dominates the neutral space.⁠

Wojciech Fangor (November 15, 1922 – October 25, 2015) was a world-renowned Polish painter, graphic artist, and sculptor. He remains celebrated as one of the most influential pioneers of postwar Op Art (Optical Art) and a master of spatial abstraction.
Born in Warsaw, Fangor secretly trained under famous painters Tadeusz Pruszkowski and Felicjan Szczęsny Kowarski during the German occupation of Poland. He graduated from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts in 1946.
n the early 1950s, he initially aligned with state-mandated Socialist Realism, painting iconic works such as Figures (1950) and Korean Mother (1951).
Concurrently, he became a co-founder of the highly influential Polish Poster School, utilizing dynamic graphic compositions and photo-collage elements for cultural and cinema advertisements.
Disillusioned by traditional figurative styles, Fangor pivoted dramatically toward geometric abstraction. Alongside architect Stanisław Zamecznik, he created Studium Przestrzeni (Study of Space), which is widely recognized as Poland’s first environmental art installation.
Through the late 1950s and 1960s, Fangor perfected his most iconic technique. By meticulously painting circles and waves with soft, blurred borders, he caused colors to visually bleed and expand into the viewer's physical field of vision. This optical illusion created an impression of light and motion pulsing straight off the canvas.
Fangor emigrated from Poland in 1961, traveling through Europe before moving to the United States in 1966.
His unique bridge between pure eye-tricks and the depth of Color Field painting caught the attention of Western curators. He was the only Polish artist included in MoMA’s landmark 1965 exhibition The Responsive Eye.
In 1970, he became the first and only Polish artist to receive a monographic, solo exhibition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York.
During his time in America, he taught at institutions including Fairleigh Dickinson University and Harvard University.

Hilma af Klint (1862-1944)
Sweden

Born on October 26, 1862, at Karlberg Palace in Solna, Sweden, she was raised in an aristocratic family of naval officers and cartographers. From her upbringing, she inherited a lifelong interest in mathematics, geometry, and botany.
She was among the early generations of women allowed to study at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm, graduating with honors in 1887.
For years, she maintained a successful, conventional career painting naturalistic landscapes, portraits, and botanical illustrations to achieve financial independence.
Following the tragic death of her 10-year-old sister Hermina, af Klint deeply immersed herself in spiritualism, Theosophy, and Anthroposophy.
In 1896, she co-founded a secretive group of five women artists known as "De Fem" (The Five). They met weekly for séances, prayers, and meditation, practicing automatic writing and drawing to communicate with entities they called the "High Masters".
During a séance in 1904, a spirit guide named Amaliel commissioned af Klint to paint a monumental series on the astral plane.
Between 1906 and 1915, working in radical secrecy, she created The Paintings for the Temple—a breathtaking cycle of 193 abstract works. This monumental feat predated the famous abstract breakthroughs of Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, and Kazimir Malevich by several years.
These works were distinct for their massive scale, vibrant colors, biomorphic spirals, and precise geometric shapes. For example, in The Swan series, she heavily utilized dualistic symbolism—black and white representing opposites, yellow for the masculine spirit, and blue for the feminine.

Modernism changed how we see light, space and function. Villa Savoye (1928–31) remains a landmark. Design lesson: remove distractions; let form serve purpose. #DesignHistory #Modernism #stantoneuropa #capetown #designer #photographer
