Abstract Landscape

Circa 1970

About the Item

Richard Mann (1940-1990) (Australia / America, 20th century) abstract expressionist acrylic painting, circa 1970s Bold original painting by Richard Mann. The painting is created with layers of acrylic paint over Masonite. Masonite dimensions: 36" x 24". The frame measures: 37" x 25". Signed at the lower right. Very nice condition with some craquelure (see images). Playwright, poet and visual artist, Rev. Richard Mann was born and educated in Melbourne Australia. At the height of America's counter-cultural revolution, Mann moved to New York City where he lived and worked in Harlem. He was influenced by surrealism, abstract expressionism, and calligraphy at the time of his arrival. Beginning in the mid-1970s, the extreme living conditions of Harlem and demands of his religious calling provided subject matter for his painting. Urban decay and ubiquitous public graffiti provide inspiration for compositions that include highly stylized writing. By the late 1970s many works incorporate writing exclusively, with areas of layered, obscured and illegible words, very much like repeatedly tagged walls. Education: Studied painting with Maurice Cantlon, Melbourne, Australia, 1961-1962. Liberal Arts Studies, Christ the King College, Melbourne, Australia. Painting with Justin O'Brien, Rome, Italy, 1963-1964 B.A., Post Graduate Studies, Pontifical Gregorian University, Rome, Italy, 1965 An outstanding original painting by this talented Australian artist.
