Phenomena breathe blue acrylic on canvas 1965 Paul Jenkins (1923-2012) USA #art #artist #AmericanArtist #PaulJenkins #USA #PhenomenaBreatheBlue #c1965 #acrylic #painting #modernart #abstractart

Paul Jenkins (July 12, 1923 – June 9, 2012) was an American abstract expressionist painter.
In 1953, after studying with Yasuo Kuniyoshi at the Art Students League of New York, Jenkins traveled to Italy and Spain, settling in Paris where his first solo exhibition took place in 1954 at Studio Paul Facchetti on the rue de Lille. Paul Facchetti, with the help of Alfonso Ossorio, held in 1952, an exhibition of the work of Jackson Pollock in his gallery, which was well known for showing works by abstract artists of the time, among others.
Jenkins' first solo exhibition in the US took place in 1954 at the pioneering gallery of Zoe Dusanne in Seattle. His first solo exhibition in New York was held in 1956 at the Martha Jackson Gallery, a leading gallery of the time. The Whitney Museum in New York purchased the painting "Divining Rod" from this exhibition. In the '50s, Jenkins achieved prominence both in New York and Europe for his early abstractions. At the Gutai exhibition held at the Martha Jackson Gallery in New York in 1958, Jenkins was invited by Jiro Yoshihara to work with Gutai in Osaka; however, Jenkins waited until 1964 to implement this invitation.
From the artist's studio in Paris in 1959, Peggy Guggenheim purchased "Osage," a work on canvas, and continued to later purchase the artist's work.
Gradually in 1960 he moved away from working in oil on canvas to acrylic. Jenkins began to paint using an ivory knife, a key tool in the creation of his work:

I do not stain and I do not work on unprimed canvas. This is more significant than it may appear. Staining or working on unprimed canvas results in an inkblot-like effect where the paint penetrates the canvas and spreads out on its own. When I work on primed canvas, I can control the flow of paint and guide it to discover forms. The ivory knife is an essential tool in this because it does not gouge the canvas, it allows me to guide the paint.[7]
— Paul Jenkins, Artist Statement
Jenkins died in Manhattan, USA in 2012.

“Portrait of an Indian Woman” by Arthur Segal (Romanian) – Painting / c. 1936 – מוזיאון ישראל, ירושלים (The Israel Museum) (Jerusalem, Israel) #WomenInArt #ArthurSegal #IsraelMuseum #RomanianArt #JewishArtist #Portraiture #ModernArt #art #artText #arte #Segal #1930sArt #PortraitofaWoman #ArtoftheDay

A young Indian woman occupies nearly the entire composition, her face framed by a flowing blue-and-white patterned cloth draped over her head and shoulders. Her dark eyes look outward with a steady, slightly questioning expression, while her almost-closed lips and upright posture convey quiet composure. A delicate white necklace rests around her neck, contrasting with the rich brown tones of her skin. The white fabric of her blouse and the blue folds of her drapery stand out against a softly textured cream background. Faint inscriptions appear above her head, adding an intriguing element to an otherwise restrained portrait.

Romanian artist Arthur Segal was born into a Jewish family in Iași, Romania, and became an important participant in European modern art. After studying in Berlin, Munich, and Paris, he became associated with German Expressionism and the Berlin Secession movements. During World War I, he lived in Switzerland, where he encountered artists connected with the Dada movement. His experiments with color, light, and geometric composition led to his distinctive theories of pictorial balance and prismatic painting. Following the Nazi rise to power in 1933, Segal left Germany for Mallorca, Spain, before relocating to Britain in 1936. His later work increasingly explored naturalistic representation, emphasizing the individuality and psychological presence of his subjects.

Unlike Segal’s more experimental compositions, this portrait concentrates on the woman’s face, clothing, and direct human presence. The subtle differences in light and shadow give her features depth, while the loose handling of the surrounding fabric introduces movement and softness. The sitter’s identity remains unconfirmed. Her clothing suggests South Asian cultural traditions, although it does not establish her particular regional or religious background.

Shell oil on masonite 1957 Gertrude Abercrombie (1909-1977) USA #handmade #oil #painting #GertrudeAbercrombie #artist #AmericanArtist #Chicago #c1957 #Shell #modernart #surrealism #surrealistart #bohemian #bohemianartist #jazzmusic

Gertrude Abercrombie (February 17, 1909 – July 3, 1977) was an American painter based in Chicago. Called "the queen of the Bohemian artists", Abercrombie was involved in the Chicago jazz scene and was friends with musicians such as Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and Sarah Vaughan, whose music inspired her own creative work.
Abercrombie was born on February 17, 1909, in Austin, Texas. Her parents, Tom and Lula Janes Abercrombie, were traveling opera singers who happened to be in Austin on the day of Gertrude's birth. The family lived in Berlin in 1913 to further her mother's career, but the beginning of World War I caused the family to move back to the United States. Upon their return the family lived in Aledo, Illinois, before settling in Hyde Park, Chicago in 1916. She was raised in a strict Christian Scientist environment at home.
After studying figure drawing briefly at the Art Institute of Chicago, she took a year-long course in commercial art at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, leading to her first job drawing gloves for Mesirow Department Store advertisements.
She married music critic Frank Sandiford, with Dizzy Gillespie performing at the wedding. The couple were active in the bohemian lifestyle and jazz scene of Chicago hence their connection with Gillespie.
In 1951, Abercrombie painted an 8"x11" work called Alderman Merriam's Shells, which she gifted to a doctor for a surgical procedure. It stayed in the doctor's family for 75 years until a collector spotted it at an estate sale in Kalamazoo, Michigan in July 2026 and paid $30 for it. After restoration it sold at an auction for $1.35 million on October 1, 2026, a new record for Abercrombie's art work.
By the late 1950s, her health declined as a result of financial trouble, alcoholism, and arthritis, and she became reclusive. In the final year of her life, a major retrospective of her work was held at the Hyde Park Art Center. She died in Chicago on July 3, 1977.
