About the Item

A fine abstract expressionist paper collage with windmills by American artist Varujan Boghosian (1926-2020). Boghosian was born in New Britain, CT and after serving in the United States Navy, he attended Central Connecticut Teachers College and the Vesper George School of Art in Boston. In 1953, he had a Fulbright grant to paint in Italy, and from 1956 to 1959, he worked with Josef Albers, geometric abstractionist, at Yale University where he earned both his BFA and MFA. Boghosian became a professor of sculpture at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, and became primarily known for his assemblages in which he uses a variety of incongruous objects such as parts of weathered barn doors, antique dolls' heads, old leather, marbles, and ping-pong balls. This collage consists of antique sepia tone windmill lithograph laid on panel, small cut paper black and white windmills, along with a color windmill, perhaps from a children’s book, cut letters P and M in the lower right corner, monogrammed lower left “VB,” matted and framed under glass in a simple wood frame. Probably dates to the early 21st century. Dimensions: 15 in H x 21 in W, actual; 23.5 in H x 29.5 in W x .75 in D, framed. Ref:537

The painting stands 13" high and 16" wide, and the canvas sight is 9" high by 12" wide. The carve inset is in overall very good condition. The wooden gilded frame...
