About the Item

KEITH BOYLE "STILL LIFE" OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNED, TITLED CALIFORNIA, C.1955 24 X 34 INCHES Keith Boyle Born 1930 An important early influence in the work of Keith Boyle was a teacher in high school in Ohio, who set up an art "major" for interested students. He later attended Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Florida and earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at University of Iowa. Keith taught drawing and painting at Stanford from 1962 -1988 where he enjoyed advising the 3 or 4 graduate students allowed in the program each year. As a professor of art he kept a large painting studio on campus at Stanford and showed in numerous exhibitions in California during this time. In 1981 he earned an individual artist grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. His paintings are in the San Francisco MOMA and numerous collections. Boyle's major influences are Henri Matisse, Clyfford Still, and Richard Diebenkorn. His artist statement states that he is primarily interested in space and color. Keith considers his work unencumbered by culture, theory, and criticism. When asked what his judgment criteria are for determining artistic merit, he said, "When the painting convinces me that it's real, then it's good." He remarked that it is more from experiencing art than from academia. Keith and his wife Beth moved to the Applegate area in southern Oregon drawn by the excellent theatre of Oregon Shakespeare Festival. He had a one-man exhibition at the Schneider Museum of Art in 1996 and served as co-curator of the Regional Perspectives Exhibition. Keith has lived in Oregon for 16 years. Although he no longer paints due to a stroke suffered 5 years ago, he draws regularly. Keith Boyle has taught at Lake Forest College, Barat College, Sacramento State and Stanford University. His paintings are often considered the hallmark of Bay Area color abstractions. His work is represented in many important collections and has been exhibited in many outstanding national and international shows. The Smithsonian American Art Museum Renwich Collection hold one of his paintings in their permanent collection, titled “Orange Inside Out.”

Provenance: Barry Friedman Gallery, Modernism Fine Arts, New York. Estate Stamped. Thilo Maatsch (1900-1983) Thilo Maatsch has an epiphany at age 16 when, having been taken to Berlin’s prestigious Avant Garde art gallery Der Sturm, he’s mesmerized by the work of Franz Marc, and determines to be an artist. Eleven years later, he’ll one day recall with pride, his work exhibits there. Born and raised in 1900 Braunschweig, Germany, Maatsch by age 18 forms "Gesellschaft der Freunde junger Kunst" (Society of Friends of New Art) with Rudolf Jahns and Johannes Molzahn. Its members include soon-to-be-famous Lyonel Feininger, Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky, who promotes Maatsch and becomes something of a father figure. Introductions to collector Otto Ralfs in Braunschweig and the esteemed painter Heinrich Vogeler in Worpswede over the next two years influence his expanding body of work. By 1922 Maatsch has a growing family to support, and as his art fails to provide this he begins training to be a teacher, a vocation he’ll fall back on repeatedly throughout his life. His first assignment is that of primary school teaching in Holzminden. 1924 sees Ralfs purchasing a Maatsch work and hanging it alongside the now well-known names of Mondrian, Kandinsky and Klee. The following year Ralfs launches an entire exhibition of the Society of Friends of New Art. Because of his day job, Maatsch is unable to realize his wish to study at the Bauhaus, the avant garde epicenter in Weimar and later, Dessau. But thanks to Kandinsky, Klee and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, he’s allowed to occupy their studios and study with them during school holidays. His befriending of Kurt Schwitters during this time explains why Maatsch is often included in the so-called Schwitters Group. In 1925 he joins the Novembergruppe (November Group) and exhibits annually in the renowned Große Berliner Kunstausstellung (Great Berlin Art Exhibition...
