About the Item
In this painting, Robert Richter presents the viewer with a still life of a massive Swiss cheese plant leaf emerging from a small ceramic jug. Though the leaf is a common tropical houseplant and the jug seems to recall American folk pottery, the asymmetrical composition suggests Japanese Ikebana floral arrangements. Also, instead of depicting the leaf in a landscape or against a recognizable background, the still life stands against a blank white space. This sense of space and choice of subject shows how Richter draws from the compositions of Japanese woodcut prints. This is particularly fitting given the relationship between the traditional carving techniques for woodcut print blocks and the carving of the present artwork.

Born in Milwaukee, Robert Richter has been painting from the age of eight. His unique paintings are hand carved on wood as well as hand carved frames that become an integral part of the paintings. The artist comments, “I want my paintings to be stunning from across the room, to beckon, as all good paintings should. And then close up, what a surprise!” The artist lived in New York where he painted literally everything from stage sets to mural commissions. He painted store front windows, lithographs from aluminum plates for actors, T-shirts, costumes, curtains, wall hangings, furniture and floors. His unique experiences, intellect, extraordinary color sensibility result in a stunning style with flavors of Avery, Grant Wood and Matisse, but mostly himself.
