About the Item

Original oil pastel figure drawing by celebrated, twentieth-century California landscape painter, Ronald Shap. Sketch of woman with glasses. 22.5x17.5 inches on glossy paper. Stray marks throughout, made during the creative process. We do not consider these flaws, just a natural result of use of this medium, but point them out for the benefit our online guests. Paper is high gloss white - any graying of the white background is due to our imperfect photography skills. Slight crease on edge that should be invisible when framed, please review final photo. This piece is a part of Shap's '80s Interiors Collection, a vibrant Neo-Pop series of nudes and still lifes rendered in neon or pastel colors painted between 1981 and 1989. His erotic and sometimes grotesque nudes are reminiscent of Egon Schiele, and the Miami Vice / Memphis Design pastel trend that dominated the 1980s art world can be clearly seen in his still lifes. Ronald Shap was born in Toledo, OH and lived most of his life in California. The brother of acclaimed portrait artist Sylvia Shap, he was a scholarship award graduate at the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1964 and completed graduate study in painting at the University of Nebraska and Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles in 1967. He was a visiting artist and instructor at BGSU in 1973-74 and worked out of his Los Angeles studio and taught drawing and anatomy at Citrus College until his retirement in 2005. ============================================= Find your perfect art piece: We have hundreds of original oil and watercolor paintings, with more added to our store every day.
