About the Item
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 - please note.
Canvas inside the frame measures 14 x 12 inches and it is in a silvered, 18karat leafed modern float frame
The size and feel of this work will enliven any corner of a home in an uplifting and light way. The artist painted his whole life and has a well noted biography.
