An original oil painting, on canvas panel
24x20", unframed
$2.000.00, - (plus $25.00, pack and ship)
This painting is not so much a portrait as it is a work of expressive composition,
and vigorous brush handling in the application of the paint. My primary interest was
the creation of the free-flowing shapes which form the figure, especially the nearly
abstract, bold shape of the somewhat Gauguin inspired, rippling-hair silhouette. That
lively, dark shape, is nearly flattened, in the manner of the Japanese wood-block prints,
which the post-impressionists so admired.
But I would say that the painting owes more to the abstract expressionists than it
does to the post-impressionists.
