"Nothing evokes emotional resonance quite like the artwork that emerged after World War II. Artists in this diverse and dynamic period gave the era a unique voice by combining Abstract Expressionism with Minimalism, drawing inspiration from easily digestible imagery found in emerging mediums like pop art and photography. Born in 1941, Anthony V. Martin is an American Postwar & Contemporary artist who mastered cultural, social, and political overtones in his landscapes. His body of work, especially ""Home from School,"" offers a ghostly portrayal of everyday life in the ever-evolving Postwar world."

Asawa was a woman of Japanese ancestry making art in the years after World War II, which was a double whammy.

Jean Miotte - Rare Original Signed Lithograph Title: Abstract Composition Dimensions: 76 x 56 cm Edition: 64/99 Signed and Numbered in pencil Jean Miotte, 1926 - 2016 Miotte came of artistic age in the decade after World War II when non-figurative gestural abstraction was emerging on both sides of the Atlantic as the contemporary artistic language. The term, ''L'Art Informel,'' was coined by the French critic, Michel Tapi, to connote ''without form.'' The negation of traditional form, a radical break from established notions of order and composition, was particularly suited to a cultural environment born out of the circumstances of post war Europe where abuse of morals and fascist ideology had led to such horror and destruction. While Informel is often regarded as the European equivalent of Abstract Expressionism, it is distinguished from its American counterpart, by a loss of faith in progress and the collective possibilities of an avant garde. Rather the artists who came to be grouped as Informel, Jean Miotte, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Emil Schumacher and Kazuo Shiraga among others, claimed an individual freedom embodied in the spontaneity of the gestural brushstroke. Miotte developed a vocabulary of bold, quasi-calligraphic markings whose vaulting, liquid jets and arcs of paint were at once suggestive of the body in motion while at the same time denying corporality. Of prime importance for Miotte was the aspiration for this gestural, abstract language to create a bridge between cultures, to break beyond national barriers of geography or expression to form a truly international language. The power and transcultural appeal of this painting was soon seen in its international reception. Miotte was invited to exhibit throughout Europe, America, the near and far East long before the concept of globalization was current in artistic terms. But whereas globalization tends toward cultural uniformity, Miotte's work fostered individual dialogue within each culture. While Miotte's work remains committed to the Utopian aspects of gestural abstraction, he has continued to grow, fighting the repetition of a signature style constantly pushing the boundaries and possibilities of the line, the gesture and the liquidity of paint. His works are included in public collections such as the The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, and Staatsgalerie Moderner Kunst, Munich. less

We did not touch anything to preserve the almost 100 years of use. _________________________________________________________ Swedish art refers to the visual arts produced in Sweden or by Swedish artists. Sweden has existed as a country for over 1,000 years, and for times before this, as well as many subsequent periods, Swedish art is usually considered as part of the wider Nordic art of Scandinavia. It has, especially since about 1100, been strongly influenced by wider trends in European art. After World War II, the influence of the United States strengthened substantially. Due to generous art subsidies, contemporary Swedish art has a big production per capita. Though usually not especially a major centre for art production or exporter of art, Sweden has been relatively successful in keeping its art; in particular, the relatively mild nature of the Swedish Reformation, and the lack of subsequent extensive rebuilding and redecoration of churches, has meant that with other Scandinavian countries, Sweden has had an unusually rich survival of medieval church paintings and fittings. One period when Nordic art exerted a strong influence over the rest of northern Europe was in Viking art, and there are many survivals, both in stone monuments left untouched around the countryside, and objects excavated in modern times. The Reformation greatly disrupted Swedish artistic traditions, and left the existing body of painters and sculptors without large markets. The requirements of the court and aristocracy were mainly for portraits, usually by imported artists, and it was not until the late 17th or 18th century that large numbers of Swedes were trained in contemporary styles. The political success of the Vasa dynasty led to a considerable revival, expressed in the "Gustavan style", which again had some influence over neighbouring countries. Among famous Swedish artists are John Bauer, Hilma af Klint, Carl Milles, Anders Zorn, Carl Larsson and Carl Eldh.

With the emergence of Abstract Expressionism after World War II, the attention of the international art world turned from Paris to New York. Dore Ashton captures the vitality of the cultural milieu in which the New York School artists worked and argued and critiqued each other's work from the 1930s to the 1950s. Working from unsifted archives, from contemporary newspapers and books, and from extensive conversations with the men and women who participated in the rise of the New York School, Ashton provides a rich cultural and intellectual history of this period. In examining the complex sources of this important movement--from the WPA program of the 1930s and the influx of European ideas to the recognition in the 1950s of American painting on an international scale--she conveys the concerns of an extraordinary group of artists including Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, Ad Reinhardt, Philip Guston, Barnett Newman, Arshile Gorky, and many others. Rare documentary photographs illustrate Ashton's classic appraisal of the New York School scene.

The 'Spitfire' piece is a breathtaking view from the clouds of a WW2 battle scene featuring the popular Supermarine Spitfire, which was a fighter plane used by the Royal Air Force and the Allied countries during and after the Second World War. The cool blues and tan coloring of this piece make it an excellent artwork for a variety of traditional settings, but the sleek metal construction also work with more eclectic/modern decorating as well, like the example photograph in a baby boy's nursery. This piece also makes a spectacular gift for a pilot, and more specifically for the honorable war vets - the wonderful men and women who have served (or are serving) our country. Steven Heyen is an extremely talented painter who specializes in aviation paintings, with a particular emphasis on World War 2 (WWII) era planes and aerial warfare. He is one of the latest contributors to the Modern Crowd family, with a line of 3 fighter plane paintings offered for the first time ever as metal giclees.
