Hans Burkhardt "Orange Floral" linocut (hand painted monoprint)

From the collection of Dr. Aurelio de la Vega, the world renowned Cuban composer, conductor, and music professor, who taught at Cal State Northridge (CSUN) for over three decades, during which time he was Distinguished Professor of Music and Director of the Electronic Music Studio.

This work is in good very condition. We unconditionally guarantee the authenticity of the work, and will provide a COA. This work was acquired by the present owner in the mid 1980’s. Done in 1982, this is a linocut, hand painted by the artist, and a unique monoprint. Signed, and dedicated, measuring 11 × 7 1/2 in (27.9 × 19.1 cm).

Hans Burkhardt (1904 – 1994) was a Swiss-American artist who immigrated to New York in 1924. He studied at Cooper Union and then at Grand Central School, where he met Arshile Gorky, a pivotal artist in the transition from Surrealism to Abstract Expressionism. Burkhardt quickly became Gorky’s colleague and trusted friend. They even collaborated on several works. From 1928 to 1937, Burkhardt shared Gorky’s studio. Willem de Kooning, another Gorky disciple, was a frequent guest.

Moving to Los Angeles in late 1937, Burkhardt served as a link between East and West Coast progressive art. Anticipating the work of his contemporaries in New York and Europe, he began to forge his signature style. From the 1930s through his final work in 1993, Burkhardt’s art presents a poignant testament to the human experience. His output includes monumental anti-war work (“the fiercer ones”) as well as lyrical expressions of hope (“the happy ones”). His anti-war work responded to the Spanish Civil War, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and conflicts in Central America and Iraq. It is for good reason that Eugene Anderson wrote that Burkhardt was “Goya’s spiritual heir.” Explaining his choice of subjects, Burkhardt simply stated, “I paint the way I live.” 
In the 1940s Burkhardt met and exhibited with a group of transplanted Surrealists in Los Angeles, including Man Ray, Knud Merrild, and Eugene Berman. Describing his work of this time, he wrote, “(my) paintings evolve out of emotions and ideas” — a process not unlike the Surrealist’s conception of the genesis of creative thought.

In 1950, while Painterly and Color Field Abstract Expressionism held sway in New York, Burkhardt worked in isolation in Los Angeles and Mexico, painting rich abstract work of extraordinary emotional range. 

During the 60s, as the Los Angeles art world was seduced by California Light and Space, Hard Edge, Minimalism, and Pop Art, Burkhardt continued to paint independent works of great emotional power. His masterpiece, My Lai, includes human skulls embedded into a dark scorched earth surface reminiscent of Baroque altarpieces. This work predates work by such artists as Anselm Kiefer by twenty years. Suggesting a legacy for the artist, Donald Kuspit wrote that “Burkhardt is a master — indeed the inventor — of the abstract memento mori.”

During the 70s, Burkhardt created a series of paintings entitled “Graffiti,” in which he responded to socio-political upheaval in his Swiss homeland. These Neo-Expressionist works anticipated the street art of Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Hans Burkhardt is known for his meticulously structured and balanced paintings that blur the distinction between abstraction and representation. Burkhardt continually returned to depictions of war through abstract paintings dated from as early as World War II and as recently as the Gulf War in the early 1990s. A talented draughtsman and former student of Arshile Gorky, Burkhardt thought painting must have careful drawing as its basis. He always sketched in pencil, pastels, or ink before building up his heavily layered, fleshy surfaces in oil.

In 1992, Burkhardt was honored in New York by the American Academy of Art for his lifetime achievement. He died in Los Angeles in 1994.

They work really well!
Size: 50 Count (Pack of 1)
These makeup removers work great for taking off my makeup. I always wash my face after with a professional skin care line with microfiber cloths, so if you are looking for something to do all the things, maybe they aren't for you, but I need something to remove makeup, and they do the best job!

Best make up removing wipes.
Size: 50 Count (Pack of 1)
These are the only makeup removing wipes I can use. They don’t burn my eyes and they remove the makeup very well. I do recommend staring them upside down so that the pads that are at the other end stay moist and are able to remove the make up without any issue. Highly recommend. Durable and don’t tear. Great product. Great price point. I have them on a subscribe and save.

Disappointed with these cleansing cloths!
Size: 50 Count (Pack of 1)
The cloths are nice and soft, however it’s very difficult to pull out just 1 sheet, I usually end up pulling several sheets and they cannot be put back in the container. This is just a waste of money and I will never buy them again!

I double cleanse. I find that mineral oil based makeup removers are hard to wash off. Oil based ones are nourishing and easier to remove but are all very dissimilar. I find formulations with active ingredient CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC GLYCERIDES high on the list are the best for my skin type. Combination/Oily(summer). RetinA/Retinoid , glycolic, Vitamin c user. These formulations emulsify everything. No scrubbing or excessive rubbing. No funny skin irritants or slimy film left on skin. MY Favorites: La Roche-Posay Micellar Cleansing Water for Sensitive Skin [all skins even those using actives]#1 My Favorite All year. Black Opal Even True Skin Perfecting Cream Cleanser [Good for dry skin or winter time]Discontinued Clarins Cleansing Milk with Gentian (Combination or Oily Skin)[A opaque 'milk' texture for Truly oily skin not drying but not hydrating]#2 Summers mostly. Pricey but worth it. Emulsifies everything and rinses well. CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser | Makeup Remover and Daily Face Wash for Oily Skin | Now Solutions Soothing rose facial cleansing oil[ Good for all skin types consistency is 'thin'ish'] #3 I like the texture its an oil but doesn't feel 'congested' greasy to me. Sheamoisture Even Radiant raw honey 3n1 cleansing balm[Room temperature butter texture for dry and or dehydrated skin. Possibly good for skin needing nourishment(shea and honey). IMO this is a 'wipe off cleanser. Say with a 'wonder cloth' or some such. Not a daily use but has its place for sure. May work as a hydrating face mask. Think Estee Lauder Triple cream(discontinued). Nice size and affordable. Cerave Makeup removing cleanser Balm[ A 'waxy' looking balm that seems whipped. All skin types]. Does what it says. IMO a wipe off cleanser even thought directions say rinse. I rinse then wipe then cleanse. Sometimes i just go directly to cleansing. Note no CAPRYLIC/CAPRICTRICERIDE or its derivatives in the ingredient list. This one took time for me to remove but its not greasy. Has other solvents, emollients and emulsifiers. Definitely a gentle skin conditioner. A good product.
