1974

About the Item

Signed lower left, 'Clausen' for Don Clausen (American, 1930-2020) and dated 1974. A self-proclaimed "sculptor of paint," Donald Clausen used tools of his own invention to create compositions ablaze with bold colors, shapes and textures. Clausen studied under Wayne Thiebaud and Richard Diebenkorn at the California College of Arts and Crafts in the late 1950s. The artist explored several forms and styles before recognizing his passion for spontaneity and risks characteristic of abstract expressionism.

A few years later, he managed to combine his two passions into a new approach in art-therapy, inventing together with his wife, a psychiatrist, the Pictodrame, which brought him world recognition. His first exhibition, which was very successful, took place in Casablanca in 1961 and earned him an appointment as Professor at the Beaux-Arts school in Casablanca. Years later, in 1976, he exhibited his paintings at the Tel-Aviv Museum. In parallel to his career as a painter, Elbaz is also known as a filmmaker.
