Hans Burkhardt : Abstract with tan, yellow and orange, From the collection of Dr. Aurelio de la Vega, the world renowned Cuban composer, conductor, and music professor, who taught at Cal State Northridge (CSUN) for over three decades, during which time he was Distinguished Professor of Music and Director of the Electronic Music Studio.

This work is in good very condition. We unconditionally guarantee the authenticity of the work, and will provide a COA. This work was acquired by the present owner in the mid 1970’s. This is a stunning linocut, by this Swiss/American Master. Measures 15 1/2 × 21" (39.4 × 53.3 cm), and is signed, numbered 4/10 from a very small edition, and dated 1974, in pencil. This work is in very good condition.

Hans Burkhardt (1904 – 1994) was a Swiss-American artist who immigrated to New York in 1924. He studied at Cooper Union and then at Grand Central School, where he met Arshile Gorky, a pivotal artist in the transition from Surrealism to Abstract Expressionism. Burkhardt quickly became Gorky’s colleague and trusted friend. They even collaborated on several works. From 1928 to 1937, Burkhardt shared Gorky’s studio. Willem de Kooning, another Gorky disciple, was a frequent guest.

Moving to Los Angeles in late 1937, Burkhardt served as a link between East and West Coast progressive art. Anticipating the work of his contemporaries in New York and Europe, he began to forge his signature style. From the 1930s through his final work in 1993, Burkhardt’s art presents a poignant testament to the human experience. His output includes monumental anti-war work (“the fiercer ones”) as well as lyrical expressions of hope (“the happy ones”). His anti-war work responded to the Spanish Civil War, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and conflicts in Central America and Iraq. It is for good reason that Eugene Anderson wrote that Burkhardt was “Goya’s spiritual heir.” Explaining his choice of subjects, Burkhardt simply stated, “I paint the way I live.” 
In the 1940s Burkhardt met and exhibited with a group of transplanted Surrealists in Los Angeles, including Man Ray, Knud Merrild, and Eugene Berman. Describing his work of this time, he wrote, “(my) paintings evolve out of emotions and ideas” — a process not unlike the Surrealist’s conception of the genesis of creative thought.

In 1950, while Painterly and Color Field Abstract Expressionism held sway in New York, Burkhardt worked in isolation in Los Angeles and Mexico, painting rich abstract work of extraordinary emotional range. 

During the 60s, as the Los Angeles art world was seduced by California Light and Space, Hard Edge, Minimalism, and Pop Art, Burkhardt continued to paint independent works of great emotional power. His masterpiece, My Lai, includes human skulls embedded into a dark scorched earth surface reminiscent of Baroque altarpieces. This work predates work by such artists as Anselm Kiefer by twenty years. Suggesting a legacy for the artist, Donald Kuspit wrote that “Burkhardt is a master — indeed the inventor — of the abstract memento mori.”

During the 70s, Burkhardt created a series of paintings entitled “Graffiti,” in which he responded to socio-political upheaval in his Swiss homeland. These Neo-Expressionist works anticipated the street art of Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Hans Burkhardt is known for his meticulously structured and balanced paintings that blur the distinction between abstraction and representation. Burkhardt continually returned to depictions of war through abstract paintings dated from as early as World War II and as recently as the Gulf War in the early 1990s. A talented draughtsman and former student of Arshile Gorky, Burkhardt thought painting must have careful drawing as its basis. He always sketched in pencil, pastels, or ink before building up his heavily layered, fleshy surfaces in oil.

In 1992, Burkhardt was honored in New York by the American Academy of Art for his lifetime achievement. He died in Los Angeles in 1994.

Sunveza MacBook Pro Charger: A Game-Changer on a Budget!
Man, where was this Sunveza charger when I first got my MacBook Pro? I'm the type who'd forget my head if it wasn't attached, and yup, I did it – forgot my charger on my first day bringing the new MacBook to the office. Enter Sunveza with its high-efficiency and surprisingly affordable solution. First off, this thing charges FAST. Talking about going 0 to 80% in what feels like a blink. And the compatibility? Spot on. Whether you're rocking a MacBook Pro, Air, or even an iPad, this charger's got you. Plus, the multiple security features? A major bonus. Peace of mind knowing my gadgets are safe from overcharging or short-circuits. Now, if we're comparing aesthetics, yeah, it doesn't have that Apple "heft." But honestly, does that matter? It's like comparing a sports car by the weight of its keys. What matters is performance, and Sunveza delivers. I stumbled upon this gem after a less-than-stellar experience with a pricey off-brand from Target. Sunveza's charger is just the right size, doesn't sag from the outlet, and feels just right. The only tiny hiccup? The cable can be a smidge finicky sometimes, needing a gentle push to snugly fit. But considering the overall value and the fact that I could always grab a new cable if needed, it's a minor gripe. In short, if you're in the market for a MacBook charger that won't break the bank and performs like a champ, Sunveza's got your back. Highly recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 EDIT: Wow okay... so things were working great for several months but then I started having issues with this charger and it would intermittently start and stop charging. The charger block itself would also get painfully hot to the touch. I had been using this product for less than a year when I started having these issues. I tested this out with other devices and outlets and witnessed the same behavior. I also took my MacBook to the Apple Store and they informed me that my battery was damaged, likely because of this charger. In light of this, I can no longer recommend the Sunveza charger.

Useful
It looks a bit thinner than the original Apple one, but it performs just as well in use. It charges very quickly, and the cable is also very sturdy.

After Wasting Money on Kids Tablets… I got these. *Demo Video with 2 Devices*
Color: Gray, Size: 128 GB, Style: Tab A11+, Color: Gray, Size: 128 GB, Style: Tab A11+
I originally bought this tablet for my younger daughter, and after a full year of daily use, I ended up buying it again — and then a third time. Both of my kids (ages 7 and 14) now use the exact same tablet, just with different setups. And honestly? It’s been a much better choice than any “kids tablet” we’ve tried in the past. 🧠 Why I chose this over a kids tablet: I’ve purchased multiple kids-specific tablets before, and they were a waste of money. They were: slow to load limited to preset apps low storage restricted controls frustrating to use overall With this, I can: 👉 set my own parental controls 👉 allow only what I want 👉 still give my kids a fully functional device It’s a normal tablet — and that’s exactly why it works better. 👩‍👧‍👧 Real-life use (2 kids, same tablet) Both of my daughters use this daily, but in completely different ways: 7-year-old (1 year of use): YouTube (including shorts — no buffering issues) Kids games (Google Play) School work Taking photos 14-year-old (new user): Drawing (Ibis Paint X) Internet browsing Occasional games It handles BOTH without any issues. ⚡ Performance & usability Fast, smooth loading — no lag for everyday use Can run multiple apps/tabs easily No overheating, even with extended use Strong, stable WiFi connection Great battery life (lasts hours of use) Charges from 0–100% in about 2 hours It feels like using a large phone — everything is familiar and easy to navigate. 🖥️ Display & design Full 11” screen Clear, bright graphics Sleek, slim, lightweight design Extremely portable Great for videos, drawing, reading, and general use. ✍️ Input & compatibility Works well with fingertips, stylus, and S Pen Access to Google Play Store Syncs with Samsung account Can connect with other Samsung devices 📦 Storage & expandability 128GB internal storage Supports microSD (if needed) We’ve comfortably had: 25–30 apps/games installed before needing to clear space 📸 Camera Decent quality Perfectly fine for kids taking photos/videos 🔌 Small things to know Comes with USB-C cord, but no wall adapter You’ll need your own charging block Final Thoughts This is not marketed as a kids tablet — and that’s exactly why it works so well for kids. It’s: faster more flexible more reliable and something they won’t outgrow quickly After a full year of use and multiple purchases, I can confidently say: This has been one of the best tech purchases I’ve made for my kids. ❤️ My 14-year-old is just starting to explore digital art, and immediately began working on her very first piece using this tablet and a stylus. Watching her sit down and just… create without struggling with the tools was honestly the most impressive part for me. No lag, no weird pressure issues, no frustration — it felt natural to her right away. As a parent, that moment alone made this feel worth it. It turned something new and intimidating into something she was excited about instantly. She spent a total of 19 hours on her drawing. ⭐ I included a video showing how both of my kids use the same tablet differently, along with the different case setups we use. The first tablet is 1 year old, the second tablet is brand new.
