About the Item
"Portrait Study" is a well-detailed portrait study of an older nude man. It is signed and dated by the artist. Michael Hodges has written about Robert Schefman for the Detroit News stating: “He explores ideas in a black-bound sketchbook, its pages filled with loose black-and-white drawings with a beauty all their own. Schefman, a Michigan State University grad who got his master's at the University of Iowa in sculpture, not painting, says he might work an image dozens of times till he finds the right iteration.
When he does, he signs it.”
Robert Schefman, a native of Detroit, Michigan, earned a BFA in Sculpture from Michigan State University in 1974, an MA in Sculpture from the University of Iowa in 1976, and an MFA from the University of Iowa in 2006. Schefman lived and worked in New York City for thirteen years. He returned to the Detroit area in 1989. He is currently Professor Emeritous at College for Creative Studies. College for Creative Studies (formerly Center for Creative Studies) faculty and graduates include Richard Jerzy, Harry Bertoia, Doug Chaing (currently director of Lucas Film), Stephen Dinehart (game maker, writer, designer connected with The David Lynch Foundation), Tyree Guyton (international artist), Herb Babcock, Jerome Feretti, Kevin Siembieda (writer, designer and publisher of role-playing games), Renee Radell, Philip Pearlstein, Charles McGee (nationally recognized African American sculptor of animal and dancing spirits), Philip Pearlstein (2000 Honorary Doctorate, Modern Realism style), John Louis Krieger (American Modern), William Girard (American Modern), Charles Culver, Henry Heading, and Hughie Lee-Smith (African-American artist of surreal landscape.)
His solo exhibitions have been held at the U.N. Plaza, New York City; Aesthetic Arrest, New York City; Lemberg Gallery, Birmingham; Robert Kidd Gallery, Birmingham; The Birmingham/Bloomfield Art Center;Midland Center For The Arts, The Charach Epstein Museum, West Bloomfield, The Krasl Art Center, St. Joseph, MI, and Meadow Brook Gallery, Oakland University, Rochester, MI.

Self Portrait at 80 - Realist Charcoal on Paper Drawing, Artist Self Portrait
By David Becker
Located in Chicago, IL
Facial expressions are used to convey information from one person to another. Here the viewer has a sense of how the artist feels about celebrating his 80th birthday. A master with vine charcoal, David Becker uses it with precision. With a rich range of value and strong darks, Becker captures his own fine details with exacting clarity. This piece is floated and framed with a simple wooden frame.
