Lot # 209 (Sale Order: 229 of 387)
Impressionist Hand Signed Limited Edition Etching W/COA 22x30 unframed Guillaume Azoulay was born in Casablanca, Morocco in 1949. Today he has achieved international recognition as a successful and gifted artist. His unique self-taught style conveys movement, strength, and grace. Since age thirteen, Azoulay’s thirst for adventure has taken him to many parts of the world, earning his way by painting and performing as an actor. Azoulay met his wife Charmine Seal, noted Welsh ballerina, in Israel, and in 1976 they arrived in the United States. In this short time span, Azoulay has succeeded in establishing himself as an American etcher. In 1983, Azoulay was chosen to create the official Kentucky Derby Festival Poster. He was challenged by the thought of creating image that combined his love of horses with the excitement of the world’s greatest horse races. His latest series of etchings capture the spirit and vitality of racing’s most important competitions: Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and the Belmont. Included in the artist’s numerous achievements are the acceptance of seven of his works in the permanent collection of the Musee Du Louvre (Cabinet Des Dessins). His work is in the private collections of President Ronald Reagan, His Majesty King Hassan II of Morocco, President Francois Mitterand of France and the late President Sadat of Egypt. Several works by Azoulay are in the Nelson Rockefeller Collection. An early critique of Azoulay’s talent perhaps says it best, “A young man whose varied and prolific work lets us predict a very bright future.” (Mr. Daniel Serrulaz Chief Curator Musee Du Louvre, 1978) Museums: Musee Du Louvre (Cabinet Des Dessins, Paris, International, France:http://www.askart.com/AskART/artists/biography.aspx?artist=11009648

SUSAN RIOS SIGNED NUMBERED LIMITED EDITION PRINT "OLIVIAS PLACE" EST 1500-2000
Lot # 227 (Sale Order: 248 of 387)
Still Life 29/295 Signed Numbered Limited Edition Print 34x35 unframed The physical environments in Susan Rios' work emanate life-affirming values that appeal directly to our hearts and minds, giving them the power to set us dreaming. Her barely perceptible brush work, contemporary hues and delicate detail bring to life intensely introspective paintings which reveal a strong bond between the artist and her audience. Her blend of illustrative realism and impressionism allows her to portray the scenes, objects and moods which are meant to trigger the imagination of the viewer. She finds inspiration from the plein air painting and serenity of Claude Monet, the colors of Henri Matisse and the decorative patterning and precise attention to detail of Gustav Klimpt. Rios' work recalls the paintings of the seventeenth-century Dutch artist Vermeer, who similarly delighted in depicting richly patterned oriental rugs, colorful tablecloth, vivid tiles, and lush drapery. As with Rios' work today, Vermeer's realistic scenes were thus given an abstract, architectural edge. Yet with both artists, fascination with pattern never springs from purely decorative intent; the care and attention lavished on intricate details invest them with a dramatic and emotional value that enhances the overall thematic concerns. The abstract element provided by Rios' use of pattern is complemented by the shifting perspective evident in much of her work. Planes of space often seem to shift in a Rios painting; objects within a single scene may be shown from varying vantage points. Rios' fluid perspective lends her images a dreamy quality that hints of surrealism. The scenes depicted in Rios' paintings seem to exist in glass-bubble worlds where the laws of realism work side by side with the play of the imagination.
JOSE ROYO SIGNED NUMBERED LIMITED EDITION SERIGRAPH "DESPUES DEL BAILE" EST $2000-3000
Lot # 228 (Sale Order: 249 of 387)
Impressionist 153/230 Serigraph or Embellished Silkscreen W/COA Exotic Latin Woman with Fan (backshot) 24x16 unframed Artist Jose Royo: Impressive parallels can be drawn between Royo’s work and that of the Spanish master, Joaquin Sorolla. Both were born in Valencia, both were classically trained, both ‘matured’ in styles of painting capturing the dramatic visual essence of their homeland - Valencia and the Mediterranean Sea. They have both been described as ‘Painters of the Light’; some have said, “of Light of the South”, that is, the southern coast of Spain. It is the overwhelming influence of Sorolla blended with his own style that makes Royo’s masterful treatment of the Mediterranean subjects both haunting and mysterious, yet full of raw power at the same time. The sweeping brush strokes, bold swaths of colour, and heavy impasto capture the eye and draw one inward until that final absolute moment of awareness that one is actually there in the scene feeling the light and heat of the sun, the salt and sea spray, and hearing the crashing surf. Royo conveys not merely image, but mood and atmosphere as well. This is rare in today’s art world, hence the connoisseur is compelled to compare with the old masters. Thus, the appeal of Jose Royo’s work for today’s collector becomes obvious.
