I have been a procurer of art, particularly paintings for many years now.
I have salivated over the original works of Marc Chagall, Salvador
Dali, Norman Rockwell, M. C. Escher, Peter Max, Erte, and many others.
However I have rarely been spellbound by a single work. Several
months ago, while making my rounds of the b brown gallery prior to the
monthly art opening I was made speechless. I was just about to
leave the gallery, satisfied that I was familiar with all the works that
would be for sale that evening. A chance turn of a corner put me
face to face with a painting that had somehow escaped my attention.
It was the Yellow Shawl, by Suzanne Ledermann. The poor photograph
above does not do justice to the work which now hangs on my wall.
Yes, I bought it. I was positively made breathless upon gazing at
this work for the first time. The vibrant and fiery reds in the
background against the dark blues of the woman's attire combined with the
bright yellow dazzle my eyes. Combine this with a face and physique
that any man could fall in love with and you have one hell of an image.
Suzanne has poured passion onto canvas with this work and it makes my
blood boil. Thank you Suzanne.
Do not despair, Suzanne is no "one hit wonder". I encourage everyone
to pay close attention to this artist and add a piece of her work to your
collection.
