Question re Eichler-compatible art - Please Read
Hello fellow Eichler owners:
I am researching Eichler-compatible art and the principles of design,
selection, and placement for an upcoming article for the Eichler
Network newsletter. I would love to hear from Eichler owners that are
artists themselves and/or can suggest professionals they have worked
with in helping them select and place Eichler-compatible art. This
would include paintings, photographs, sculpture, weavings, etc. If you
have comments, suggestions, or pictures, please contact me ASAP --
before mid-April, please. E-mail me at cathyelynn at earthlink dot net.

I collect abstract expressionist paintings and sculpture(circa 1940-1960), primarily from the Bay Area. They go very well with Eichlers.

Hi Paul:
Thanks for getting back to me. I'll be in touch.

My cousin's artwork based on vintage matchbook art

Especially check out her work for the Palm Springs show...
My artwork - more abstract and often inpired by Franciscanware or Nelson clocks

I also painted a large piece to go over my fireplace and custom matched the color to coordinate with the greenish ceiling stain - unfortunately - i don't have a picture posted of that yet...
I have several photographs by lew thomas and bruce davidson. If I could afford it my eichler would also be full of color photographs by artists like william eggleston, richard misrach, and jeff brouws.
Cathye:
Japanese wood block prints, Japanese and Chinese ink brush paintings (sumi), and abstract and figurative graphic art prints look wonderful in our Eichler.
Tribute website of master sumi artist Professor Obata the teacher of my teacher: http://obata.wilderness.net/
Mary-Margaret: Very nice abstracts, esp the Eichler-inspired ones.
Michael: I love Japanese woodblock prints and have several by Hiroshega (sp?). Do you have any digital photos showing your art as displayed in your home? If so, feel free to e-mail them to me at cathyelynn at earthlink dot net.
Thanks! Keep the responses coming.
