Art is primordially eternal.”  Egon Schiele     Helicline Fine Art proudly announces the opening of its new online exhibition, Modernism Adored: 20th Century Art, a celebration of the revolutionary artistic movements that defined the 20th century. The exhibition begins April 26 through June 30 at Heliclinefineart.com.   Featuring a curated selection of paintings, drawings and sculptures from important to rediscovered artists, Modernism Adored explores essential movements that shaped the artistic landscape during the 20th century from ashcan, cubism, art deco, Vorticism, WPA, abstraction, abstract expressionism, caricature and outsider art.   It brings together a diverse range of artwork that reflects the spirit of innovation and creativity that defined these pivotal periods in art history.   As we are a NYC based gallery, the history of New York inspires us to include art that glorifies our great city. "We are thrilled to present Modernism Adored: 20th Century Art. This is stuff in our hearts and we are honored to share it with collectors and curators throughout America and worldwide,” said Helicline proprietors Keith Sherman and Roy Goldberg. They continued, “This exhibition is our “eye,” it exemplifies the enduring impact of modernism in art and provides a unique opportunity to witness the evolution of artistic expression over the course of the 20th century."   Highlights of Modernism Adored: 20th Century Art include three early Stuart Davis drawings, Vorticist linocuts by Sybil Andrews and Lill Tschudi, Maurice Guiraud-Riviere’s breathtaking “La Comete” silvered bronze, several works by Al Hirschfeld, abstracts by Florence Henri and O. Louis Guglielmi, a Charles Demuth drawing of bathers, an early Daniel Celentano oil, a precisionist industrial scene by Simon Wachtel, and much more.   Artists in the exhibition include: Sybil Andrews, Maurice Becker, A.

Numerous descriptions abound. It is a series of genres from the mid-19th century to the present that challenged the Western standards of fine art and embraced new forms of expression. It is often seen as beginning with realism, which rejected the traditional subjects of art and focused on common people.   Others say modernism was a movement in the arts in the first half of the 20th Century that rejected traditional values and techniques and emphasized the importance of individual experience.   A broader perspective, which we at Helicline embrace, modernism was a break with the past and the concurrent search for new forms of expression. It is in fact, constant reinvention, and it’s significant because it fundamentally asks us to change our perspectives as time passes.    “The strangeness will wear off and I think we will discover the deeper meaning in modern art.”       Jackson Pollock Daniel Ralph Celantano (1902-1980) Long Beach 8 x 10 inches Oil on artist board Signed lower left Titled in pencil, verso Harold Haydon (1909 – 1994) History of the US Postal Service 21 x 25 inches oil on canvas, c. 1938 TO DOWNLOAD IMAGES, CLICK HERE MORE ABOUT HELICLINE FINE ART: Helicline Fine Art, founded in 2008 by Roy Goldberg and Keith Sherman, specializes in American and European modernism.

REMINDER: EXHIBITIONS OPENING TONIGHT Friday, April 26 | 5-7 pm ETHEL FISHER | FORREST MOSES Reception with Ethel Fisher's Daughter Margaret Fisher Ethel Fisher Portraits of the Sublime On View Through May 25, 2024 Seated Figure in Interior - Los Angeles, 1970, Oil on canvas, 72 x 48 in. On View Through May 25, 2024 Reception with the Artist's Daughter: Margaret Fisher | April 26, 5-7 PM View Full Exhibition Ethel Fisher (1923-2017) Fisher’s distinctive large-scale figurative paintings feature alluring portraiture of psychological depth and tension set against backgrounds of fields of color. She strove to “encapsulate both intimacy and alienation” and wanted to plumb the depths of the human psyche in these paintings. Her intention in rendering subjects was to “create a set of characters that would have the depth of characters in novels.” She often painted prominent artists who were part of her social circle including such figures as well-known American painter Will Barnet, abstract artist Alice Baber and her ex-husband color abstractionist Paul Jenkins, and legendary sculptor, painter and installation artist Paul Thek, all of whose portraits are included in this exhibition. In each case, Fisher conferred on her subjects qualities of strength, mystery, and a certain sense of quiet grandeur. Also included in this show are several stunning later-career large scale paintings of interior scenes and still lifes in various shades of cerulean blue for which Fisher also became known.   View the Digital Catalog Fisher’s work is included in the permanent collections of many prominent museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Morgan Library and Museum in New York; the Crocker Museum in Sacramento, CA; the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla, CA; the Dallas Museum of Art; among others. Fisher was recognized by the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award for Painting in 1965. Two Figures Dream Space, 1970, Oil on canvas, 16.25 x 16 in. View Work FORREST MOSES Field of Beauty On View Through May 25, 2024 F 92/68, 1992, Monotype, 22.75 x 34.25 in. View Full Exhibition Forrest Moses (1934 - 2021) For more than fifty years, Forrest Moses was well known for painting graceful visual responses to place through distinctive and complex rhythms of color, line, and form that reveal the sudden transcendent quality of the simple experience of being in nature. Profoundly influenced by Japanese aesthetics, Moses uses marks in his ink-based monotypes that reference the practices and philosophies of sumi-e ink masters. During his career, Moses sought, in his words, "to discover nature’s truth and give life to a painted image by understanding the rhythms and pulses behind appearances.” View the Digital Catalog Like his oil paintings on canvas, the monotypes of Forrest Moses are each one-of-a-kind original works of art that bear complete fidelity to the visual engagement of the artist with nature. Moses made his monotypes by painting with pigments onto a Plexiglas plate and then impressing that painting onto a chine colle of rice paper melded with thick Arches paper through the pressure of a large etching press.
