(by winsorbirch) A slim, streamlined aeroplane dominates the top right corner of the painting as it flies off. It seems to drop, bomb-like, a large boulder in its wake which falls down heading straight for a giant pink cactus flowers beneath it, which mimics the shape of the bolder. A tiny cross protrudes from each point of the cactus flower, resembling the cross made by the wings of the aeroplane. The cactus flower forms the top of a tower jutting into the air. In the foreground, arches of the iconic Los Angeles Sixth Street Bridge seem to be submerged in water; interlocking pointed arches, like sepals of a flower seem to support the rounded arches of the bridge. A stepped bridge emerges from the sea in the distance as if its connecting structure to the rest of the architecture and the city has been submerged beneath the water.
Henry Orlik / Defeat (Aeroplane over LA) / Mixed Media on Card
Painted quietly and prolifically for decades. About a year ago, the 77-year-old’s surrealist work was discovered. Now his paintings are worth millions.
