About the Item
This painting, "Variation on a Theme" by Norm Siegel was inspired by the 1937 painting, The Eternal City by Peter Blume part of the collection at MOMA.

This painting, "Variation on a Theme" was started on January 12, 2021 -- Six days after the January 6th attack on the US Capital.
Variation on a Theme is Oil on Canvas, 36x48.
About Norm Siegel:
Graduate of The Cooper Union in NY, Norman went into advertising design, graphics, and marketing while a free-lance illustrator. As his advertising responsibilities grew, (Crest Toothpaste, Continental Airlines, Volvo), illustrating became a serious R&R outlet. He has always maintained a love for all things aviation and space.
In 1989 he started a virtual advertising agency with two partners. Their first client, and still their client, is Discovery Communications. (The Discovery Channel, TLC, etc.). They are also retained by high tech and e-commerce companies. All this while he was still illustrating
While advertising, graphic design and marketing are still my “day job”, I paint when not art directing.
There are aviation themed samples throughout my portfolio. As a member of the Air Force Art Program headquartered in the Pentagon, many of my paintings are there and part of several air and space museums across the country.

View AllHannah's Window, Swimmer, Water, Work on Paper, Red Swimsuit, Female Figure
By Carol Bennett
Located in Riverdale, NY
Hannah's Window is a figurative artwork featuring a female swimmer in a red bathing suit moving through the water. It is a mixed media painting on painted wood grained paper. Artwork is 26 x 20. It is framed to 32 x 26 with a white frame. This is part of the latest series by Hawaii artist, Carol Bennett.
Carol Bennett spends all of her time surrounded by water, and a great deal within it. Her work is a meditative journey through both the water and through life. She is intrigued by how life continues to flow and change, being both in the moment and timeless. The viewer will experience being in a state “flow” – where the currents of the ocean suspend life and self, and the unexpected floats to the surface.
Carol's work has been featured in many solo and group exhibits throughout California, New York, Martha's Vineyard and Hawaii including a 2007 solo show at the First Hawaiian Center at the Contemporary Museum of Art (Honolulu) and a 2018 group show "Making Waves" exhibit at the Honolulu Museum of Art. Her work was seen alongside April Gornik, Agnes Martin, Kiki Smith, and Pat Steir. In 2019, she was also featured in exhibits at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center, the Hawaii State Art Museum and a solo exhibit at the Honolulu Museum of Art. She has been featured in Hamptons Cottages & Gardens, Ocean Home Magazine and the New York Times. Carol's artwork has also been featured in Designer Showhouses in Westchester NY and the Hamptons, and is part of public and private collections around the world.
