Miles Mathis
Portrait of a Girl

About the Item

Charcoal portrait drawing of a woman by Miles Mathis. 27.75" x 18.25" About the Artist: Miles Mathis is an American artist known for his nude portrait paintings and drawing of women. Born in Amarillo, Texas, he displayed early artistic talent, drawing a perspective train at age three. In his youth, he excelled in various activities, including golf, tennis, and music. He pursued liberal arts at Haverford College and later danced with a local ballet company while creating a popular comic strip. Mathis turned to art full-time after a chance encounter with the Spanish portrait painter Joaquin Torrents Llado. He began copying works of old masters in museums across Europe. Mathis's artistic journey took him from Texas to Europe, where he created diverse works across different mediums, including oil, pastel, watercolor, sculpture, and photography. He garnered attention for his unorthodox viewpoints and critiques of both the avant-garde and new realist movements. His contributions to art and science continue to provoke thought and debate, establishing him as a unique and compelling figure in the creative world.

  • Pritzlaff - 1903, Male Wielding an Ax, Wearing an Aviator Hat, Charcoal Drawing
    By David Becker
    Located in Chicago, IL
    While charcoal is naturally a loose drawing medium, David Becker uses it with precision. With a rich range of value and strong darks, Becker captures the fine details with exacting clarity. In his drawing "Pritzlaff - 1903", the subject, a male with a glazed look, is wielding an ax and pointing a finger at the viewer. This drawing is framed in a simple black frame. The artist has signed with his initials and year on the front and signed his full name on the back of the piece.
