About the Item
Signed, verso, on stretcher bar, 'Renee Harwin' (Austrian-American, born 1924) and painted circa 2000.
A substantial, Post-Painterly abstract comprising hard-edged, geometric forms in primary colors, with ochre and burnt umber, stacked in a vertical composition.
Born in Vienna in 1924, Renee Harwin emigrated to the United States with her family to escape Hitler and the Holocaust. She graduated from San Francisco State University in 1970 and went on to receive her MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1973. Harwin exhibited widely and with success in the California Bay Area, including at the University of California at Davis, the C.N. Gorman Museum (1993) and at the De Young Museum. Her work combines the influence of Midwest painters such as Clyfford Still and her San Francisco Art Institute instructor, Jack Jefferson, with the early influences of Viennese art. Harwin attributes much of her visual language to her architect father and to modern architecture.

Renee Harwin
As a young Viennese woman, Renee Harwin found her artistic development interrupted by Hitler's arrival to her city. Soon after, Renee and her family left and moved to the United States. Harwin says that while "one can drawn his or her own conclusions from my work, I believe that the tremendous impact of change from Nazism to free America has left deep impressions on me that are played out on these canvases." Her work combines the influence of Midwest painters such as Clyfford Still and San Francisco Art Institute instructor Jack Jefferson with the early influences of Viennese culture and art. Harwin attributes much of her visual language to her architect father and to modern architecture. Harwin resides in Marin County.
