EMIL HOLZHAUER W/C, WPA TENEMENT
EMIL HOLZHAUER W/C, WPA TENEMENT HOUSES, LIKELY SOUTHER...Emil Eugen Holzhauer (German/American, 1887-1986) 1930s watercolor painting depicting a street scene, likely Southern, with closely spaced houses. Signed lower right. Unframed, 15" x 22 1/4". Artist biography (from The Johnson Collection): "Emil Eugen Holzhauer was born in Schwabisch-Gmund, Germany. In 1906, he moved to New York City without a job, money, or any knowledge of the English language. He initially worked in manufacturing plants to support himself and save money for art instruction. After settling into his adopted city, Holzhauer registered for night classes at the New York School of Art in 1909 where he studied with Robert Henri. Henri, a Social Realist, was a passionate and energetic teacher. He stressed the importance of painting from a personal point of view and urged his students to develop a uniquely American art, one based on their own individual experiences and perspectives. Henri remained an inspiration for Holzhauer throughout his career and the two men became close friends. In 1913, Holzhauer attended the famed Armory Show and was inspired by the work of the American and European modernists. He held his first solo exhibition in 1915 and exhibited regularly in New York, both individually and as part of a group, over the next ten years. In the summer of 1932, he began to teach art at a summer camp in upstate New York and found teaching to be a rewarding and gratifying experience. In 1938, he briefly taught at a junior college in New York State, before moving south to Asheville, North Carolina. In 1942, he became an art professor at Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia. Throughout the 1930s, Holzhauer became identified with the American Scene movement in art, and the scenes that he painted while in the South are among his best-known. The subjects were often homes and neighborhoods of the working class. The images are quiet glances into a private world. He often chose narrow side streets or back alleys and portrayed the dilapidated buildings in a simple non-judgmental way. He neither idealized his subject nor romanticized it, but rather found beauty in simple scenes from daily life. During the late 1940s and into the 1950s, Holzhauer began to move into a more expressive and less realistic style. The color became more intense and less true to nature, and his figures became more stylized. In 1953, Holzhauer retired from his professorship at Wesleyan. He and his wife moved to Florida where he held several exhibitions. He continued to travel and paint until 1972 when his eyesight began to fail. Holzhauer died just before his hundredth birthday in 1986."

VERY RARE AND IMPORTANT
VERY RARE AND IMPORTANT PENNSYLVANIA FEDERAL POLYCHROME...attributed to Mahantango Valley or Schwaben Creek, Pennsylvania, circa 1830, dovetailed and cut nail construction, white pine throughout, 48 x 42-1/2 x 22 in.
Note: In American Radiance: The Ralph Esmerian Gift to the American Folk Art Museum , curator Jack Lindsey notes this chest "is distinguished by the quality and pattern of its painted decoraiton, consisting of carefully rendered leaping stags, undulating flowering vines, birds, and stylized central tulips emanating from urns and compass stars on a salmon pink ground. Many of the painted decorated devices on the drawers, such as the quarter fans and painted stringing, may have been influenced by earlier patterns of the neoclassically inspired wooden inlay."

GARY KOMARIN, NEW YORK, CONNECTICUT
GARY KOMARIN, NEW YORK, CONNECTICUT (B. 1951), ABSTRACT HEAD PORTRAIT, 1997, ACRYLIC ON PAPER, 22 1/2"H X 17"WGary Komarin, New York, Connecticut, (b. 1951) abstract head portrait, 1997, acrylic on paper Signed and dated verso. Biography from the Archives of askART: Gary Komarin (born 1951) is an American artist. Born in New York City, Komarin is the son of a Czech architect and Viennese writer. Like many of the best artists of his generation he is indebted to the New York School, especially his mentor Philip Guston with whom he studied at Boston University. According to a New York Times article by Barry Schwabsky, "Guston's lesson in cultivating the unknown has clearly stuck with Mr. Komarin. And on a more superficial level, the teacher's peculiar sense of form can also still be traced in his former student's work – in the way Mr. Komarin's bulbous forms can seem to echo, in an abstract way, the cigars, cyclopean heads and naked light bulbs in Guston's paintings." Komarin prefers non-art industrial canvas tarps and drop cloths as opposed to traditional painting media and materials. He builds layered surfaces with latex house paint mixed with spackle and water. The house paint offers hybrid colors that seem slightly ‘off' and the spackle creates a beautiful matte surface. Kenneth Baker of the San Francisco Chronicle writes that "from these seemingly unlovely methods Komarin gets paintings that vibrate with historical memory, echoing such things as Matisse's driest most empty pictures, Robert Motherwell's spare abstractions of the 1970's, or the early New Mexico and Berkely paintings of Richard Diebenkorn." The chaotic surfaces of Komarin's pieces create a vitality and tension between the spontaneous and the considered, the accidental and the consciously executed. It is the natural result of the artist's process based on his belief that intention and control should be totally removed from the act of painting. According to Komarin, the best paintings "paint themselves." Using a fusion of house and oil paint, spackle, and other assorted mediums, Komarin loses himself in the act of painting, free and confident, seeing the serendipitous interaction of the conscious and unconscious. His works are not all inherently abstract, either, in his delightful, natively drawn Cakes (painted on rough paper bags), and The French Wigs (painted on canvas), Komarin places the image front and center, akin to Joe Bradley's "Superman." The simplistic, yet beguiling Cakes sometimes lean like the Tower of Pisa, while dripped frosting showcases Komarin's playful manner and charm. According to the artist, the Cakes are a marriage between the domestic and the architectural. He credits his mother's cake baking, as well as his father's career as an architect, as the genesis for this image. While steeped in 20th century abstract philosophy, Komarin's works also connect to a new type of abstraction, described as "provisional painting," by Raphael Rubinstein, in Art in America, and "The New Casualists" by Sharon Butler, in Two Coats of Paint. The central idea describes "a calculated tentativeness," "a concern with multiple forms of imperfection," [focusing on] "the off kilter, the overtly off hand…" Like Komarin, they seek to get back to the process of painting itself, favoring playful, unpredictable encounters. It is obvious that this current trend is aligned with Komarin's artistic sensibility. Komarin has been invited to show in Dublin in a catalog exhibition titled 'States of Feeling' essay by John Daly. Works by Robert Motherwell, Gary Komarin, Sir Antony Caro and Larry Poons. In 2008, Komarin was invited to show a large cake painting at the Katonah Museum of Art in Katonah New York. This catalog exhibition was titled: ‘Here's the Thing: The Single Object Still Life" curated by Robert Cottingham. Komarin's work was included with works by: Andy Warhol, Christo, Claes Oldenberg, Richard Diebenkorn, Philip Guston, and other blue chips. Komarin has exhibited extensively throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. In 1996, Komarin's work was included in a pivotal exhibition at 41 Greene Street in New York City, along with work by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Philip Guston and Bill Traylor. In 2008, he had a solo museum exhibition at the Musee Kiyoharu Shirakaba in Japan. The exhibition and catalogue, Moon Flows Like a Willow, was orchestrated by the Yoshii Foundation in Tokyo with galleries in New York, Tokyo and Paris. Komarin was also invited to exhibit his Vessel grouping on paper at the privately owned Musee Mougins in Mougins, France. This museum is privately owned by one of Komarin's London collectors. Komarin's work has also been included in curated group shows in New York, Dubai, and Zurich along with works by Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, Jeff Koons, Yves Klein, and Joan Miró. Komarin has also exhibited in the past decade in catalog exhibitions in New York, Bogota, Zurich, Dubai, Paris, Palm Beach, Houston, San Francisco, Denver, Assisi and London.

GARY KOMARIN, NEW YORK, CONNECTICUT
GARY KOMARIN, NEW YORK, CONNECTICUT (B. 1951, ABSTRACT STILL LIFE, 1997, ACRYLIC ON PAPER, 22 1/2”H X 17”WGary Komarin, New York, Connecticut, (b. 1951 abstract still life, 1997, acrylic on paper Signed and dated verso. Biography from the Archives of askART: Gary Komarin (born 1951) is an American artist. Born in New York City, Komarin is the son of a Czech architect and Viennese writer. Like many of the best artists of his generation he is indebted to the New York School, especially his mentor Philip Guston with whom he studied at Boston University. According to a New York Times article by Barry Schwabsky, "Guston's lesson in cultivating the unknown has clearly stuck with Mr. Komarin. And on a more superficial level, the teacher's peculiar sense of form can also still be traced in his former student's work – in the way Mr. Komarin's bulbous forms can seem to echo, in an abstract way, the cigars, cyclopean heads and naked light bulbs in Guston's paintings." Komarin prefers non-art industrial canvas tarps and drop cloths as opposed to traditional painting media and materials. He builds layered surfaces with latex house paint mixed with spackle and water. The house paint offers hybrid colors that seem slightly ‘off' and the spackle creates a beautiful matte surface. Kenneth Baker of the San Francisco Chronicle writes that "from these seemingly unlovely methods Komarin gets paintings that vibrate with historical memory, echoing such things as Matisse's driest most empty pictures, Robert Motherwell's spare abstractions of the 1970's, or the early New Mexico and Berkely paintings of Richard Diebenkorn." The chaotic surfaces of Komarin's pieces create a vitality and tension between the spontaneous and the considered, the accidental and the consciously executed. It is the natural result of the artist's process based on his belief that intention and control should be totally removed from the act of painting. According to Komarin, the best paintings "paint themselves." Using a fusion of house and oil paint, spackle, and other assorted mediums, Komarin loses himself in the act of painting, free and confident, seeing the serendipitous interaction of the conscious and unconscious. His works are not all inherently abstract, either, in his delightful, natively drawn Cakes (painted on rough paper bags), and The French Wigs (painted on canvas), Komarin places the image front and center, akin to Joe Bradley's "Superman." The simplistic, yet beguiling Cakes sometimes lean like the Tower of Pisa, while dripped frosting showcases Komarin's playful manner and charm. According to the artist, the Cakes are a marriage between the domestic and the architectural. He credits his mother's cake baking, as well as his father's career as an architect, as the genesis for this image. While steeped in 20th century abstract philosophy, Komarin's works also connect to a new type of abstraction, described as "provisional painting," by Raphael Rubinstein, in Art in America, and "The New Casualists" by Sharon Butler, in Two Coats of Paint. The central idea describes "a calculated tentativeness," "a concern with multiple forms of imperfection," [focusing on] "the off kilter, the overtly off hand…" Like Komarin, they seek to get back to the process of painting itself, favoring playful, unpredictable encounters. It is obvious that this current trend is aligned with Komarin's artistic sensibility. Komarin has been invited to show in Dublin in a catalog exhibition titled 'States of Feeling' essay by John Daly. Works by Robert Motherwell, Gary Komarin, Sir Antony Caro and Larry Poons. In 2008, Komarin was invited to show a large cake painting at the Katonah Museum of Art in Katonah New York. This catalog exhibition was titled: ‘Here's the Thing: The Single Object Still Life" curated by Robert Cottingham. Komarin's work was included with works by: Andy Warhol, Christo, Claes Oldenberg, Richard Diebenkorn, Philip Guston, and other blue chips. Komarin has exhibited extensively throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. In 1996, Komarin's work was included in a pivotal exhibition at 41 Greene Street in New York City, along with work by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Philip Guston and Bill Traylor. In 2008, he had a solo museum exhibition at the Musee Kiyoharu Shirakaba in Japan. The exhibition and catalogue, Moon Flows Like a Willow, was orchestrated by the Yoshii Foundation in Tokyo with galleries in New York, Tokyo and Paris. Komarin was also invited to exhibit his Vessel grouping on paper at the privately owned Musee Mougins in Mougins, France. This museum is privately owned by one of Komarin's London collectors. Komarin's work has also been included in curated group shows in New York, Dubai, and Zurich along with works by Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, Jeff Koons, Yves Klein, and Joan Miró. Komarin has also exhibited in the past decade in catalog exhibitions in New York, Bogota, Zurich, Dubai, Paris, Palm Beach, Houston, San Francisco, Denver, Assisi and London.
