Roger Mühl (1929-2008) 🇫🇷
Automne (1963)
Oil on canvas
27 x 28 ½ in (68.5 x 72.4 cm)
Framed: 31 x 32 ½ in (79 x 83 cm)
Signed lower center Muhl

Roger Mühl was born in Strasbourg in 1929 and became a notable French painter, draftsman and sculptor. In 1954, he settled in Montreux-Chateau and had his first exhibition in Paris at the Galerie de Paris in 1960. He worked primarily in the French Riviera but exhibited his work throughout Europe and in NY and Dallas. Mühl was a painter of light and atmosphere using impasto as part of his technique.

Our example is instantly recognizable as a painting by Roger Mühl. The soft color palette is typical of the light, bright shades regularly used by the artist. In Automne as in much of his ouevre, Mühl generously applied pigment in geometric forms; these are striking in their simplicity. Roger Mühl was clearly inspired by light and atmosphere.

Hans Savery 🇳🇱 (1589-1654)
Birds by a Waterfall (1626)
Oil on panel
3.5 x 5 in (8.5 x 12.5 cm)
Framed: 8 x 9 in (20 x 23 cm)
Signed: H. Savery

Hans Savery, also known as Jan, was born in Haarlem in 1589, into a family of artists. He was the nephew of the painter Hans Savery the Elder (1564 – ca. 1623), as well as Roelandt Savery (1576–1639), and the son of the artist Jacob Savery (ca. 1565 – 1603). The three artists were Anabaptists from Kortrijk in the Spanish Netherlands (modern-day Belgium) who moved north to Haarlem between 1584 and 1586 to escape religious persecution by Catholic authorities, settling first in Haarlem, where Hans was born, and then moving to Amsterdam. There is less information about the life of Hans, but it is known that he worked primarily in Amsterdam and most likely studied under his uncle Roelandt, joining him at the imperial court of Rudolf II in Prague between 1610 and 1615. In 1619, he again followed his uncle to Utrecht, where they lived in the same house. As he shared so much of his life with Roelandt, it is unsurprising that we see in Hans a similar interest in the interpretation of nature via a distinctive Flemish flavor and Mannerist element. His paintings are featured in the permanent collections of the British Museum, Oxford University, and the Centraal Museum in Utrecht.

Helen Frankenthaler (1928-2011) 🇺🇸

Helen Frankenthaler was a central figure in Postwar American painting, associated with the second generation of Abstract Expressionism. Born in New York City, she grew up in a culturally engaged family and studied at Bennington College under the influential critic and teacher Paul Feeley. Early exposure to the work of artists like Jackson Po***ck and her close relationship with critic Clement Greenberg shaped her understanding of modernism, encouraging a move toward abstraction that balanced gesture with structure.

Frankenthaler’s breakthrough came in the early 1950s with her development of the “soak-stain” technique, in which thinned oil or acrylic paint was poured onto unprimed canvas, allowing color to seep directly into the fabric. This approach softened the gestural intensity of Abstract Expressionism and helped pave the way for Color Field painting. Her work emphasized openness, luminosity, and the physical integration of color and surface, influencing artists such as Morris Louis and Kenneth Noland. Over time, her palette expanded and her compositions became increasingly refined, maintaining a tension between spontaneity and control.

Hughes Claude Pissarro came from the illustrious Pissarro clan, grandson of Camille Pissarro and son of Paul-Emil Pissarro. He was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine where he often accompanied his dad on painting excursions. He first exhibited his work at the young age of 14 years; he studied in Paris and later became a professor of art and taught for many years, partly in Monaco. He also trained his daughter, Lelia.

Hughes Claude Pissarro’s work has been featured in exhibitions in Europe and the US and he was in fact commissioned by the White House in 1959 to paint a portrait of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The artist’s work evolved through different styles and techniques, from Abstract to Avant-Garde. In 1989, he began a series of contemporary landscapes which he signed differently in order to distinguish them from traditional works. Those Contemporary works are signed as Huges Pissarro dit Pomie.

Eugenio Carmi was born in 1920 in Genoa, Italy. At age fifteen, he began painting lessons, which came to a halt during the Second World War during which he graduated with a degree in chemistry from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. In 1946, Carmi was living in Italy and became a student of the painter Felice Casorati, whose work remained an inspiration for his own in the next decade. In the late 1950s, Carmi was tasked with promoting Cornigliano Steelworks and used steel and iron to create contemporary art to enhance the company’s image. This led to his first solo exhibition in 1958 at the Galleria Numero in Florence, where he presented enamel paintings on steel. During the 1960s and 1970s, Carmi focused on creating work inspired by the combination of industry and culture, leading to lithographs on tin plates and linking kinetic and audiovisual art. It was in the 1970s that he developed his signature geometric style, a contrast from the Art Informel style of the previous decades. He often used mathematical laws such as the Pythagoras theorem to create his precise geometric shapes, a nod to his training at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.

Our vibrant composition reflects Carmi’s signature abstraction which he cultivated further later in his career, using bold forms and color contrasts. A large black circle is surrounded by several bands of neutral tones while vibrant diagonals of red, pink, and blue fill out the lower right quadrant. This work balances precision and simplicity, echoing Carmi’s style of structure and harmony.

Born in Milwaukee in 1913, Vivian Springford came of age within a socially prominent family that relocated to New York at the start of the 1930s. After attending the Spence School, she committed to artistic training at the Art Students League, where she studied for over a decade under figures such as Jon Corbino and Robert Brackman. Her early professional life was rooted in commercial illustration and portraiture, producing refined, realist images for newspapers and private clients. This academic grounding, combined with the discipline of observational drawing, provided a technical foundation that would later underpin her move into abstraction.

Springford’s mature practice unfolded in dialogue with mid-century abstraction, particularly Abstract Expressionism and later Color Field painting. In the 1950s she shifted away from figuration, developing gestural, calligraphic works influenced by East Asian art and philosophy, especially through her exposure to Chinese calligraphy and Taoist thought. These “one-shot” paintings emphasized immediacy and the irrevocable mark, aligning her with action painting while remaining distinct in their linear lyricism. By the 1970s, she transitioned toward stain painting, pouring thinned acrylics onto canvas to create expansive, fluid fields of color– an evolution that replaced gesture with diffusion, and line with atmosphere. Though she exhibited steadily in New York, her work gained wider recognition only later in life, as critics reassessed her contribution to postwar abstraction and the broader history of women artists in the movement.

Avery Milton (1885-1965) 🇺🇸
March Relaxing (1945)
Oil on canvas
11 1/2 x 15 1/2 inches (50 x 64 cm)

Milton Avery was an influential American modernist painter known for his lyrical simplification of form and color. Born in Altmar, New York, he moved to Hartford, Connecticut as a young man, where he worked a variety of jobs before committing himself to art. Unlike many artists of his generation, Avery did not pursue extensive formal academic training; instead, he studied part-time at the Connecticut League of Art Students while largely developing his style independently. His early exposure to American Impressionism gradually evolved into a highly personal approach centered on flat areas of color, simplified forms, and balanced compositions.

Avery’s career developed primarily in New York City, where he became associated with a circle of modern painters and writers. By the 1920s and 1930s he gained recognition for a distinctive style that bridged representation and abstraction. While often linked to European modernist ideas, Avery maintained a uniquely American sensibility, frequently painting quiet scenes of domestic life, landscapes, and figures. His work would have a profound influence on later artists, particularly the Abstract Expressionists, including Mark Rothko and Adolph Gottlieb, who admired his ability to create emotional resonance through subtle color relationships and simplified shapes.
