Art speaks…and we listen.
How do we select a piece of art?
When we select a piece of art we feel it and imagine where its journey has been. Discover the history, the artist and the people who have appreciated this treasure.
What makes us want to live with it, hang it on our wall, and visit it every day.? Is it the color, the subject or the technique? Instead, is it perhaps because it simply speaks to us? And we listen.
Each piece of art available at 11 HAMILTON HOME has a history and a story. We discovered the artist; Found out where it originated from; Tried to imagine why they chose the subject; Wondered where its journey led. These questions and the answers add to the richness and emotion of the art itself. Here are just a few pieces that spoke to us, have a story we enjoy, or evoke a memory we want to savor.
A Tuscan Afternoon 1991
This small landscape watercolor can evoke a memory, a recollection of a serene moment you experienced and want to hold onto. Imagine every time you view it, having your mind drift back to where you were and who you were with in a place very much like the field depicted.
Conversation on a bench, artist unknown.
Found at a back alley market in the South of France, this tiny oil painting has traveled to a position of grand importance together with this lavish hand carved gilded frame. Is there a place in your own home where this story can move forward?
Harry Sefarbi, American Oil Painting
What is the true story behind this lovely abstract scene? For me, it’s a snapshot of young love. On the left side of the canvas, the young woman seems to be caressing the young man. On the right side, it is the man in pursuit. Are there 2 couples or is it one couple at 2 separate moments? Do the orange lines define individual vignettes? Or is it a puzzle combined of different paintings?
At 11 HAMILTON HOME we not only share unique pieces of colorful and original art but simultaneously share the stories we know and encourage you to add your own. From our home to yours.
