Charles Richards"Sunday Painter" - New Orleans Framed Impressionist Nude Painting
About the Item
Charles Richards was an iconic New Orleans artist whose talent is lesser known only because not as many of his paintings come up for sale as do those of more prolific painters such as George Dureau, Robert Gordy and Ida Kohlmeyer. This delightful pastoral scene is Impressionist in style, with the subject reminding me a bit of Manet's Dejeuner Sur L'Herbe. An almost Van Gogh-looking painter sits against a tree painting a voluptuous nude, in the open air.
Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans, with our firm guarantee of satisfaction.
The following, submitted to AskArt on March 2003, is from Mike Warner, a friend of the artist:
"Southern artist and newspaperman Charles Richards was born in 1906 in Rome, Mississippi. Richards started his career at the age of fifteen as a copy boy for the Memphis Press. In 1927 he arrived in New Orleans and took a reporting job on the New Orleans Item. Over the following decades, he reported for newspapers throughout the South and East in cities such as New Orleans, Houston, Memphis, and New York. As was common practice during the first half of the twentieth century, Richards illustrated his own newspaper stories with imaginative drawings and portraits.
Richards turned to fine art full time in 1945, producing diverse works of landscapes, figures, portraiture and sculpture. New Orleans became his home base, although he continued to travel widely. His works are found in various traditional media including oil, pastel and conte. Numerous collections hold works by Richards including the Historic New Orleans Collection and the Ogden Collection."
Richards died in Gulfport, Mississippi in 1992.
Painting comes with a documentation of its provenance; from the collection of E. L. Borenstein.
