Don Totten
Composition

Circa 1950

About the Item

"Composition" by Don Totten is an abstract oil painting on masonite circa 1950 and measures 28 in x 32 in. The painting is in good condition. Donald C. Totten (1903-1964) was a member of a group of artists who quietly began to introduce modernist thought, emanating from Europe and the East Coast, to the Los Angeles art community during the 1920s. Other members of this group were influential artists as Nick Brigante, Lorser Feitelson, Helen Lundeberg, James Redmond, and Stanton Macdonald- Wright. Totten developed in his oil paintings a vigorous, monumental style, achieving vibrant and rhythmical compositions through lyrical passages of pure color and form. Although his work can be associated with Abstract Expressionism, evocations of nature are evident in the artist’s choices of color and shape.
