The Dead Artists Gallery Presents “The Reach”

Alice Aznavourian (1932-2023) excelled as a fashion illustrator and freelance artist for Bloomingdale’s of New York after training both at the Hunter College and the Fashion Institute of Technology . Her avant-garde work, however, often left her concerned that ” something was just out of reach.” This amazing landscape in the Fauvist style and titled “The Reach” exemplifies that which was” just beyond perception.” Using the French movement characterized by bold color, textured brushwork, and non-naturalistic depictions, she chose colors on opposite sides of the color wheel, which the Fauvists painters preferred as well as using them at high saturations. 21 x 27 in original painted frame circa 1960, $625.
