Arthur Okamura
Wave of Ur, Asian Ocean abstract

1960

About the Item

A dreamy and expertly painted abstraction by this noted American/Asian artist. Presented in a contemporary and high quality silvered leaf float frame which allows it to breath. Wave of Ur is a layered work that conjures up images within nature and a dreamy world where images and nature coalesce, an impressive and mesmerizing canvas that can hold its own in the realm of very well done works that visually take us away. Within one canvas he has the dark and murky lower right corner and then the enveloping layers of waves and darting colors that indicate other elements of nature. He calls other works from this series “Ghost Waves” and it would have been revealing to have been able to ask him about his thought process with these works. Unframed dimensions are : 52 x 42 inches Beautiful impasto and texture.

  • Head to Sea, Modernist sailing scene
    By Ralph Eugene Della-Volpe
    Located in Greenwich, CT
    A vibrant and yet romantic sailing scene which was a favorite series by Della-Volpe. His compelling colorist approach has made his works desirable as he was one of the few artists post-war to be representative in style like Milton Avery and Wolf Kahn. Head to Sea has the hallmark intense and lovely coloration for which Della-Volpe is known. He came out of Abstract Expressionism in the New York school but then pivoted, like Milton Avery to representational, colorist work. The frame is a silvered gold leaf float frame of quality and has a rubbed, antiqued surface...
