A 1980 oil glazes over acrylic polymer on canvas trompe l’oeil contemporary realism painting titled “Composition in Three Tones” by notable Los Angeles-based artist, professor, and designer Don Paglia. Extremely realistic yet deceptively unassuming depiction of a rustic and weathered grey wood door reveals impressive touches, textures, and techniques the longer and closer one looks. Narrow black gap between door and frame offers a glimpse at the canvas upon which a thin layer of acrylic polymer has been applied to simulate the look and feel of real wood grain. Finished with glossy oil paint glazes that provide color, shading, and highlights to the wood, doorknob, and other delightfully discoverable details such as exposed nail heads. While the artist’s keen eye, skillful technique, and inventive use of media look great when seen from straight on, they become even more impressive when viewed obliquely and one can appreciate his meticulous recreation of naturally textured materials. Paglia’s distinctive logotype-like signature and date ("'80") is at lower right. Verso with title, media, and name written on canvas, as well as two paper tags from a previous unknown gallery describing the same. In original varnished dark brown wood frame. Dimensions listed are overall; art is H 24.5 in. x W 17.88 in. The following incredibly interesting and impressive artist’s bio is taken from the website of TAG (The Artists Gallery) in Los Angeles, who represents Don Paglia and offers many more of his paintings and sculptural works: “Los Angeles native Don Paglia is currently Emeritus Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the UCLA School of Medicine. He served as Fulbright Senior Research Scholar in Sub-Saharan Africa and continues to conduct research on medical problems threatening rhinoceroses and other exotic wildlife.
