About the Item

Yeffe Kimball (c. 1905 - 1978) Cepheus B, 1963 Signed, titled, and dated on the reverse Acrylic on canvas 34 x 40 inches Provenance: Private Collection, New York Estate of the above, 2022 Born in Mountain Park, Oklahoma, in 1914, Effie Y. Goodman subsequently spent her early years on her grandfather’s farm in Missouri. She attended college in Ada and the University of Oklahoma in Norman from 1931-1935. After college, she went to New York where she worked under distinguished artists such as George Bridgman and John Corbin at The Art Students League in New York in the early 1940s. She adopted the name Yeffe Kimball, adapting her first husband's surname of Campbell to form Kimball, and never returned to her small-town roots. She became a world traveler and student, studying intermittently with Fernand Léger in Paris from 1940-1941. In 1948, she married Harvey L. Stalin, an atomic scientist. Her art was influenced by Stalin’s work and she entered a new era, focusing on burning planets, atmospheric gases, and flashing comets. Her work was also inspired by American Indian spiritual symbols that are evident in this painting in which the apparition of a face appears to pierce through from a supernatural realm. In 1946, she had her first solo show at the Rehn Gallery in New York. By 1987, she had had more than 55 solo exhibitions. Space Age Series: At the time Kimball began painting abstractions in the 1950s, she was married to a nuclear physicist, who owned a sample of “fused earth” from the first atomic explosion. Space exploration inspired her compositions, which recall clusters of stars and interstellar clouds. Kimball also introduced textural effects and innovative materials like acrylic resin into her work. So dynamic were her interpretations of astronomical phenomena that, in the early 1960s, NASA commissioned her to create new work.

Twilight Flourish #10, Lucy Moore, Abstract Painting, Landscape painting
By Lucy Moore
Located in Deddington, GB
Twilight Flourish #10 by Lucy Moore [2022] Twilight Flourish #10 - An Original semi-abstract painting by Lucy Moore. Using my signature string grass technique I have created a semi-abstract twist to this midnight delight. Wychwood Art comments "We love Lucy Moore's original meadow paintings. They are full of colour and energy at affordable prices" Additional information: Original Acrylic on canvas Image size: H:60 cm x W:60 cm Complete Size of Unframed Work: H:60 cm x W:60 cm x D:1.9 cm Sold Unframed Please note that insitu images are purely an indication of how a piece may look. I have always enjoyed being creative but lacked the confidence to pursue a career as an artist, after many nudges from family and friends I decided to bite the bullet.I set out on my artists adventure in Feb 2014 I used my loft for a studio and spent every spare moment experimenting and creating. In Feb 2015 I signed up to several online galleries, every painting I sold boosted my confidence and I would spend hour daydreaming of becoming a full time artist. Since then I have come a long way and have been able to purchase my own studio, I now have a little sanctuary in my back garden.When I am not working as a part time book keeper, I can be found hidden away in my studio creating original artworks. I am inspired by the nature around me, from flourishing meadows to the crashing waves in the ocean, however I do like to add my own twist on things. I do love to work freely with abstract using colours and textures to guide me. For me Art is a necessity, I need to paint. The colours and images that swirl round my head daily I capture on canvas. I feel very privileged to have sold my work all over the world. My dream is to become a full time artist, With each painting I sell I take a step closer to achieving my goal. 13/08/2018 I took a leap of faith. Currently working as a full time artists. "If you give up on your dreams, what's left?" (Jim Carrey)

A Flurry of Wild Flora, floral art, meadow art, affordable art, original art
Located in Deddington, GB
A colourful array of wild meadow flowers. Painted in an expressive and abstract style. Painted with energy and passion for the subject. Inspired by my love of colour, pattern and flowers. Painted using a professional quality stretched canvas using gold standard acrylics. Sealed with acrylic varnish to protect the surface of the canvas. Jan Rogers, artist, is available to buy online and in our gallery at Wychwood Art. She says: "Since discovering Kandinsky at a very early age I have been obsessed with vibrant colour and pattern. I later discovered William Morris and I knew I wanted to spend my life creating pattern, in particularly I was going to design wallpaper. After graduating from art college I set up my own business as a freelance surface pattern designer, selling to a worldwide market of home furnishing manufacturers. This was a wonderful and rewarding career until the industry began to change. As we now live in a digital world the requirement to create and manipulate design on a computer took away the joy and thrill of an ever changing journey that creating as you go allowed. I needed to break away and find a new way of creating, inventing and expressing the energy and passion designing once gave me. So since 2017 I have been painting, inspired by my love of flowers and the British landscape and seascapes it's the perfect way forward for me and wonderful to experiment with new mediums and subjects without restriction. I like to think each painting is a further development of the previous one and that I am continuously growing, evolving and discovering new art as each week passes." A Flurry of Wild Flora...
