Figurative abstract painting with target by Victor Mirabelli
About the Item
Dimensions listed include the frame.
Mr. Mirabelli's resume follows;
Victor Mirabelli’s impressionistic landscape oil paintings reflect the undaunted beauty of the Hudson River Valley. His approach is undisciplined, free spirited—an abandonment from the traditional—resulting in something “fresh and imaginative.”
Mirabelli attributes his style to his early schooling and execution of his abstract oil paintings. Each work is the result of “chance taking.” His fresh approach combined with a technique of layering many pigments and unique brush and scrubbing techniques, create a painterly quality that is his signature mark.
Mirabelli’s works reflect an impression, a mood—where detail is characterized by his
use of contrasting light against dark. Using a muted palette to represent the purity and simplicity of the land, his artistic endeavors have often been described as “haunting and soul baring…a very personal, solitary interpretation of the Hudson Valley.”
He pursued his formal art education at the Burnley School of Professional Art in Seattle and later moved to New York City in the 1980s. He has worked in many mediums—oils, pastels, and watercolors on a multitude of surfaces: canvas, paper, and wood.
Mirabelli has exhibited extensively in both solo and group juried shows. Private collectors throughout the US have acquired his work. He has served as a guest lecturer and juror for many art organizations and competitions. Mirabelli has been a past associate member of the Northeast Watercolor Society, a member of the Catskill Art Society and the Kent Art Association, and a sustaining associate member of the American Watercolor Society.

Dimensions: 11.5"h x 15.5"w (sight) 12.5"h x 17.5"w (frame) Porter Woodruff, was an illustrator artist and contributor to Vogue Magazine and Home & Garden (including covers for both). He was one of five artists stationed in Paris in 1923 for Vogue. Woodruff spent considerable time in Tunisia, North Africa, residing with his romantic partner, Romanian socialite George Sebastian. Sebastian owned a lavish, coastal property in then-trendy Hammamet, near Tunis on the Mediterranean. Sebastian fell in love with the simple beauty of the quiet fishing port of Hammamet and was the first of the international set of the times to build his villa there. He started a trend that has never ceased. Frank Lloyd Wright is said to have claimed Dar Sebastian to be ”the most beautiful house I have ever seen”. American and European intelligentsia and upper-crust were attracted to the area between the wars. The artists Cocteau, Elsa Schiaparelli, Paul Klee, Andre Gide, the Sitwells, and Cecil Beaton enjoyed visiting, partying, and undertaking what someone once described as indulging the opportunity to do 'some rather elaborate sinning'. Other visitors included Art Deco designer Jean-Michel Frank, Wallis Simpson, Somerset Maugham, and Greta Garbo, among others.
