About the Item

This is classic Teis's collage and acrylic paint - melded together to create a vibrant and textured work. Devoted to the exploration of abstraction, in the 1950's this artist applied himself to the art of collage. This particular example is nice because it has surprising elements of patterning and color choices that are quite attractive. And it was done during the era in the 1970's when the avant-garde in American art was geared toward hard edge abstraction. This is a great size to fit in many spaces. It is currently unframed and could hang that way. The work has vibrancy, incredible attention to surface texture and play and is graphic in its "X" format paired with the shape of triangles. Lovely condition! Signed: Teis '78 lower right Prior to his arrival to serve as Chairman of the Department of Art at the University of Delaware in 1974, Teis taught at East Tennessee University, East Carolina University, the University of Southwestern Louisiana, and the Arkansas Art Center. He obtained his undergraduate degree from the University of Missouri in 1947 and in the three years following attended the Taos Valley School of Art, La Esmeralda (National School of Painting, Sculpture, and Printmaking) in Mexico City, and Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo in Morelia, Mexico. In 1960 he received a master’s degree from the University of Tulsa, and in 1975 he completed his doctorate in arts education administration from New York University.
