Dan Wuthrich
Seated Jester

About the Item

Signed lower right, 'Wuthrich', and accompanied by the original certificate of authenticity. Oil portrait of a jester dressed in black, white and emerald harlequin with bells on his collar and fool's hat, seated on a stone wall with the full moon hanging low in the coral and wine-red sky behind him. Raised in a family that supported Wuthrich's interest in the arts, Dan Wuthrich has been painting since he was eight and at eleven had artwork featured in a Wisconsin newspaper article. After high school, Wuthrich continued his fine art studies at the Layton School of Art from 1954-1959 and at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1961 taking courses in printmaking, English, speech and psychology. While maintaining his painting career, Wuthrich established a professional career as an engineer from 1965 to 1991, working for American Motors in Milwaukee and the Chrysler plant in Belvidere. Wuthrich’s art has been featured in galleries throughout Wisconsin, Illinois, Florida and Arizona. Of his art he says: “I have found that by allowing my mind to take me where it wants to go, I find myself traveling down many paths that I have not visited, or perhaps have forgotten. The subject matter, and approach to these pieces varies greatly. I have begun to realize that there may be many roads that I have not traveled. Who knows what tomorrow might bring.” Courtesy of Artist's website and Beloit Daily News

  • Vintage Mid-Century Modern Mini Swedish Figurative Portrait Painting - Whispers
    Located in Bristol, GB
    WHISPERS Mixed Media on Board Size: 30 x 37 cm (including frame) A wonderfully expressive and brilliantly executed figurative composition in mixed media (oil, watercolour gouache), painted onto board. Two women in black headscarves are the focus of the scene, with very captivating expressions. The woman on the right appears to look almost shocked, with her mouth ajar and her eyes widened. The woman on the left stares directly at us, her emotion less identifiable. The scene is intriguing, making us question what these women have heard or what has happened. Their faces have been painted with brilliant detail, capturing the shadows on their faces as well as the aged skin of the woman on the right. These two women are set against a blue-ish green backdrop, making their faces stand out even more from within their black head scarves...

  • Early Mid Century Modern Self Portrait by renowned Abstract Expressionist Signed
    By Ron Gorchov
    Located in New York, NY
    Ron Gorchov Historic Self Portrait, 1955-1959 Oil painting on board Hand signed in paint on the upper recto and dated 1955-9 Frame included: held in original vintage artist's frame This work was exhibited at the Sager Reeves Gallery in Columbia, Missouri in their Masters Exhibit in December, 2022, and is reproduced as a full page in their exhibition catalogue. A copy of this catalogue accompanies the artwork. In 2019, the year before Ron Gorchov passed away, Stephen Truax, director of Cheim & Read, his then gallery, passed along details of this extraordinary painting to Gorchov's studio to be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonne. When shown the work, Gorchov remembered it well, but was amazed that the painting was still in existence after so many years. This historic early self-portrait, done over a period of four years, from 1955-1959, starting when he was only 25 years old reveals Gorchov's distinctive and sophisticated sense of color and form. This is one of the artist's earliest works, and very few works by Gorchov from this era ever appear on the market or are known to remain in existence. It should be in any museum or career retrospective. This work was gifted by the artist to Elthea Rembrandt Peale...
