Gouache \u0026 Wax Drawing by Sylvia von Hartmann Entitled \"In Every End Lies a New Beginning\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eSylvia von Hartmann was born in 1942 and brought up in Hamburg. She studied at Edinburgh College of Art from 1963-66.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitially, she taught at Coventry College of Art but has spent most of her time in Scotland since then. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe has been elected RSW, SSA and SSWA; and her work is in numerous collections including the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a fine and much sought after drawing by von Hartmann. It is beautifully presented with a new mount and thick gold-coloured frame. It has originally been sold by the Open Eye Gallery and the old label has been attached to the back of our new frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drawing has not been signed by von Hartmann - but she regularly did not sign her drawings. It is instrantly identifiable by her unique style. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drawing has been made using gouache and pigmented wax resists - she did certainly love using waxes on her drawings. She imported special waxes from Germany which allowed her to use them in work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drawing is an attractive combination of imagery and text. This one has its title woven into the composition: \"In Every End Lies a New Beginning. The work shows the artist's love of gardening and botany. There is a trellis shape which is laid out with lots of closed-up heads of dandelions. To the right hand side of the drawing we can see a little figure of a woman in a garden. She is drawn with a thin line directly into the waxy ground. The little figure is planting a new flower or bush - which will replace ultimately replace the shrivelling dandelions. The shady area with the lady in it - seems to look a little like a person seen in profile looking out to the trellis and sun soaked garden space beyond. This is all very typical of her style and themes in her graphic works. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a large drawing and will look fantastic on display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: Frame is 56 x 45 cm. The image size is 36.5 x 25 cm. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have taken lots of images for your inspection. Sylvia von Hartmann's works are currently highly sought-after.
