In the Moment

Description - My paintings are a direct response from the world around me as I strive to be
"in the moment" while I work. Each painting is a simple sentence in an ongoing
story that will take a lifetime to unfold...much like a visual diary...
I have started a series of still-lifes based on old toys and musical instruments. A regional Soap Car Derby race became the focus for
another series. The beautiful landscape of the "wine country" is now our backyard
and the spectacle of San Francisco looms large on the horizon. I've been able to
revisit various themes and subject matter with a fresh eye and move forward...
"in the moment."

And Then There Was One
By Deborah Gilson
5.25 x 7 P.B. 86pgs. |
Description - Chronologically written true stories containing insightful life lessons, from first hand experience.
I began story writing at age seven, in 1967. I would sit my mother down at her typewriter. She would dutifully click away at the keys while I stood beside her, dictating my latest masterpiece. I believed I contained important information to convey; my mother obliged with admiration. In August of 2000, at the urging of my aunt Shirlee Herald, I turned on my computer and began writing again. If I am able to relay a benefi cial message, I will end my days with no regrets.

Two Minutes and Counting
By Kim Frohsin
8.5 x 11 P.B. 250pgs.
$40.00
1-60052-018-1
|
Description - Some artists we admire for their formal skill, and others for their quicksilver spontaneity. But there's a third, rarer type as well. I mean the artist for whom mastery and intuition are inseparable, fused. Kim Frohsin is this kind of artist. Her work reveals a gorgeous braiding of form and process. Drawing from the model, she captures a range of emotions as they uncoil their way through the body, seeking expression in the resulting gestures. "How can we know the dancer from the dance," Yeats asked in one of his most famous poems. Kim Frohsin's art brings us to that same moment of wonder.

Figures with Edges, 2007-2008
Kim Frohsin

$30.00

|
Description
- The work in Kim Frohsin's, "FIGURES WITH EDGES", sears itself into being. Few contemporary painters manage Frohsin's sheer vivacity of color and form. And her talent extends beyond formal skill: although she doesn't paint overt narrative, much less illustrate her subjects, she always reveals a deep compassion for the expressive force of the body. The gestures that her figures strike are the results of intense emotions. More... |

Autobiography
By Glenna Putt

$30.00

|
Description
- "Glenna Putt paints her life as she lives
it. In this collection of paintings, called "Autobiography",
she gives us glimpses into her home, her travels, her
family and the mystery that makes up the life of the
artist. From the vistas out of her studio on San Francisco's
Potrero Hill, to the teeming streets of Havana, the lush
green parks in London, beloved pets and interiors of
her art filled home, and flowers - oh the flowers - that
spring to life in a way that gives new meaning to the
phrase "still life", Glenna has used the tools of her
trade to share with us her vision of the world she lives
in with sensuality and gusto. A very special woman with
a very special way of treating the canvas… that's why
we love Glenna Putt and are pleased to share her "Autobiography"
with you."

Description
- Following a brief exploration of abstract
and abstract-expressionist art, and soon after his arrival
in California, Sexton became known as a talented and
admired painter of plein-air landscapes, cityscapes and
figures. Yet he also creates still lifes, florals and
portraits of extraordinary beauty and strength. This
remarkable versatility shows him as a seriously dedicated
painter, who strives to stretch boundaries whenever he
can. Since the turn of the millenium Randy Sexton has
become widely regarded as one of the premier plein-air
painters working in Northern California today — an area
renown for its plein-air tradition. More... |

$30.00

|
Description
- It was sometime after World War II when I
fell in love with the game. It was in a
schoolyard in Pennsylvania where my friend Gerry and I played endless games of
wallball. His hero, Ted Williams, invariably would break my heart as he cleared
the bases with a double or homer against Connie Mack's hapless Philadelphia A's.
My father would find me in tears, slumped over our kitchen radio, hearing the
Western Union rebroadcast of an away game, or listening to the scratchy crackly
voices of Mel Alan or Russ Hodges when my team was on the road. It was more than
a game to me. More... |

$30.00

artist website
|
Description
- In viewing Confer's work, one is sometimes
reminded of a Duchamp or a Johns—not because of any noticeable
stylistic similarities. Rather, the parallel is in Confer's
ability to take a commonplace item and make it noticeable,
urging the viewer to really study it. And yet the objects
in his art convey no underlying meaning. They are not
obviously symbolic. They have no totemic significance.
In short, his works are not created to make a statement,
and in a sense do not really mean anything– any more
than a Bach fugue or a Haydn string quartet impart some
underlying message. More... |

Philip
Hall Images
By Philip Hall
8.5 x 11 P.B. 60pgs.

artist website |
Description
-While Philip Hall's compositions share some
of the qualities of conventional photographs, they have
much more in common with canvases produced using pigments
and brushes, each detail painstakingly applied by hand.
On first consideration the subjects of his recent images
seem divided into distinct categories--abstract and architectural
compositions, explorations of light and shadow, pensive
studies of dream and illusion, wry comic tableaux. However,
these categories begin to overlap under closer scrutiny
as Hall's meticulous fabrication and sense of dramatic
narrative repeatedly assert themselves.

Description
- Besides architecture, there are other elements
in my work that tell time: cars, clothing of pedestrians,
street signs, lights and traffic. All of this is part
of modern society --- what documentary is made of. The
color in the pieces evokes a sense of things past. My
work is an attempt to depict familiarity with a play
on time; to recognize a place, but to wonder as to what
is really seen. I tend to photograph streets and places
encountered in my daily routine. Even having lived in
San Francisco for more than 12 years, I still do not
cease to see something new on the same roads I travel
each day. More... |

Description
- In the eyes of the art world, Henry Villierme's
story looks like this: It's 1957. A talented young artist
comes onto the scene in the San Francisco Bay Area and
gains attention as part of an important invitational
show at the Oakland Art Museum. At about the same time
he takes first prize in painting at an exhibition in
Richmond, California – with honorable mentions going
to future greats Richard Diebenkorn, Nathan Oliveira
and David Park. Diebenkorn speaks glowingly of Villierme's
"instinctual understanding" of the craft of painting.The
young artist is seen as one of the key players in what
is known as the Bay Area Figurative Movement – which,
in reintegrating elements of realism into painting, represents
an important transitional step beyond abstract expressionism.

Description
- Jack Levine was born in Boston in 1915. Early renderings of his tough, immigrant South End neighborhood drew the attention of his teachers at the Boston Museum of Fine Art. His talent inspired Dr. Denman Ross of Harvard University to offer tutelage, studio space and weekly stipends to help nurture his development. Levine's drawings earned him a first exhibition at Harvard's Fogg Art Museum in 1932 when he was seventeen. More... |

Description
- My current drawings are actually an offshoot of a discovery I made while Senior Art Director at Eastman Kodak. I inadvertently discovered a small amount of white blotting paper and took it to my drawing board and began to test the line delineation with my black India ink, double "0" Rapidograph pen. What I found was a wonderful world of line and clarity that I had never experienced before. The challenge of pen and ink, on blotting paper, had been met, and I was loving it! More... |

|
Description
- The human figure is one of the classical topics of art. Its relevance has remained acute and personal throughout and beyond the tides of dominant taste. Indeed, it appears that fascination with the figure finds its source somewhere beyond art in the darker recesses of human instinct, in our own origin as a social animal. How can the human body appear simultaneously so familiar and mysterious, generic and personal, intriguing and passive, repulsive and sensual? More... |

Description
- The way light falls over our beautiful Bay Area, how our seeing distorts scale and perspective, and the way the human body carries emotions were painted with the dynamic techniques of abstraction. These bold methods, when applied to natural forms, reinvigorated painting, which became wonderfully accessible. The work has a sense of place and is highly evocative of Northern California light and color. More... |

Looking Back
Kathmandu to Everest

|
Description
- I undertook this adventure to Nepal, this trek from Kathmandu to Mt. Everest, not as a conqueror of mountains, but rather to create a photographic journal of the people, their culture, and their natural environment.
The year was 1973, to travel beyond the confines of the city of Kathmandu was to step back in time. The three week trek was entirely without electricity, indoor plumbing, telephones, guesthouses or hotels. I passed few fellow travelers and saw fewer cameras.
Out of respect for the individuality of the people and their way of life, all photographs were taken as observed, never set up or posed. I simply tried to capture and record spontaneous moments of life, as they were, in this unique place and time. More... |

- I met Ruth Wall in 1984. She had read about the opening of my art resale gallery and traveled by bus and train from her San Francisco apartment to the gallery's inaugural location in Berkeley, California.
She came up my stairs, newspaper clipping in one hand and a string bag in the other. She was attempting a "sorting out" - a lifelong battle she waged and lost – and wanted to sell objects from her travels and a few things she traded with other artists in her student days. More... |

- It is with great pleasure and conviction that I introduce to you our first catalogue. It embodies a collection of paintings, each carefully selected to offer our clients a range of styles and color palettes. To say that the works presented here convey just one thing or another is extremely narrow. Whether one painting is a depiction of a noble or another the visual narrative of a literary work, they all seem to share in providing a visual feast, often evoking an emotional response. More... |

His first teachers in college were Maurice Lapp and James Rosen, an exemplary artist whose work encompasses essential moments in art history and who was able to impart the continuity of art to receptive students.
