Rolph Scarlett Abstract Modernist Painting, 1960s.

(Scarlett was born 1889 in Guelph, Ontario. His long life as an artist began in his teens as a jewelry designer and fabricator. At the age of fourteen he began to design jewelry professionally, a craft which he continued off and on for the rest of his life. 

His desire to learn more about art took him to New York in 1908, when American artists were just beginning to experience strong influences from major modern European artists of the day such as Cezanne and Picasso. Throughout his long career he produced, oil paintings, many works on paper, unique sculptured jewelry, modernist style industrial and furniture designs. Currently there are over 800 of his designs at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Design Collection.)

Erich Buchholz 'Untitled' Oil and Wood Relief Painting, 1942.

Erich Buchholz (1891–1972) was a German artist in painting and printmaking. He was a central figure in the development of non-objective or concrete art in Berlin between 1918 and 1924. He interrupted his artistic activity in 1925, first because of economic hardship and, from 1933, as he was forbidden to paint by the National-Socialist authorities. He resumed artistic activity in 1945.  

At the end of World WarI he returned to Berlin and started working on abstract paintings. In 1918 he designed his first abstract stage sets for the Albert-Theater in Dresden. His first solo exhibition was in 1921 at the Galerie Der Sturm in Berlin and included a series of sixteen woodblocks. The first of these, Orbits of the Planets (Planetenbahnen), was initially designed as a matrix for making woodcut prints, but the artist gradually regarded it as a work of art of its own right and painted the surfaces.

Hilla von Rebay ‘Composition I’, 1915.

German-born Hilla Rebay was an accomplished artist, as well as the founding director and curator of the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, later named the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Though trained as a classical portraitist, Rebay embraced the idea of non-objective art—nonrepresentational art with no links to the material world—as both an aesthetic style and a manifestation of spirituality. Rebay produced a prolific array of paintings and works on paper during her long career. Composition I is a dynamic canvas energized by bold colors and shapes and intensified in the foreground by a curvilinear form, a motif representing the strength of the artist's emotions that repeatedly occurs throughout her work.
