Provenance: Fischbach Gallery, New York and Koplin Gallery, Santa Monica, CA. Ultra-realistic still-life and figure painter Martha Mayer Erlebacher was born in 1937 and became Chair of the Faculty at the New York Academy of Art in Manhattan. Since the 1970s, she has painted fruit, eggs, pots, vases and a variety of other objects in a realistic style and also paints Renaissance-like figures, primarily portraits and the female nude. Her oil paintings feature warm colors and her drawings subtle changes of value. She often places her figures in ornamental, Renaissance-like interiors of checkered marble floors and walls, as in "Woman with Chaos, Time and Death." This painting offers traditional symbolic images and arrangement of figures recalling the "sacred conversation"a partially clad woman with the symbolic figures responsible for her dissolution, Chaos, Time and Death.
