David Dew Bruner
Morandi Bottle (Abstract, Cubist Still Life Graphite Drawing with Antique Frame)

2024

About the Item

Abstract modernist style still life graphite and acrylic painting inspired by Giorgio Morandi's bottle still life paintings "Morandi II” by Hudson Valley artist, David Dew Bruner, made in 2024 Graphite, colored pencil, and charcoal on paper in an antique off-white and grey frame, 21.5 x 16 inches unframed Framed dimensions: 29 x 22.5 x 2 inches framed Signed, lower right Excellent condition, ready to hang as is Signs of wear on framing is consistent with age which is the intention of the artist. This abstract, still life painting was made by David Dew Bruner in an abstracted cubist style where the artist painted continuous lines in the shape of a bottle, creating a shard-like effect. Through the continuous layering of the graphite pencil and acrylic the artist makes interesting organic and cubist shapes, further abstracting the still life. The painting is completed with multiple layers of graphite, colored pencil, and charcoal. The painting is paired with an antique off-white and grey painted wood frame. About the artist: David Dew Bruner’s latest series of drawings are titled Morandi Bottles, referencing early 20th century painter Giorgio Morandi’s softly painted still life paintings of pastel-colored bottles. However, Bruner’s drawings rendered in graphite pencil and acrylic are forms at their most distilled, platonic ideals of bottles and jugs. A student of the Bauhaus aesthetic (his teacher studied under Joseph Albers), Bruner repetitiously spins variations of his design, pronounced by geometric mark makings akin to crystalline forms. He manages to portray multiple views of the object on the same plane. In Bruner’s case, the absence of an inherent underlying significance of the object itself is null. Yet these lifeless forms presented in unique vintage or contemporary frames seem to teeter with personality all the same.

Pencil Automobile Car Drawing
By Jacques Villon
Located in Fredericksburg, VA
Jacques Villon, born Gaston Émile Duchamp on July 31, 1875, in Damville, France, was a pivotal figure in the development of modern art. As the elder brother of Marcel Duchamp, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, and Suzanne Duchamp-Crotti, Villon was part of a family that profoundly influenced 20th-century art. He adopted the pseudonym Jacques Villon to distinguish himself from his siblings, and began his career as a cartoonist and illustrator. Villon's contributions to modern art were acknowledged internationally, with exhibitions at prestigious venues such as the Salon d'Automne, the Salon des Indépendants, and the Armory Show in New York in 1913. His work influenced the trajectory of abstract art, and his legacy is celebrated in numerous museums and collections worldwide. While this drawing isnt common of his bolder cubist style, it shows his skill in sketching and shapes which add a dimension to the abstract nature of this automobile drawing...
