About the Item
In the paintings by Robert Chiarito the figure has always been dominant. Over the course of forty plus years, this figurative presence in his work has evolved stylistically from naturalistic to expressionistic to its current more reductive state of abstraction. Chiarito is inspired by Western classical sculpture because of its naturalistic yet idealized representation of the figure and its overriding sensuality. Viewing the sculptures, paintings and archaeological sites in Italy and Greece have been extremely valuable to the evolution of his work. Having previously pursued a lengthy period of expressionistic figurative work over the past few years, he has been seeking a way to symbolize and combine both male and female attributes without relying upon direct representation. In working to achieve this he created many small experimental drawings that have helped to clarify a new direction in his painting as evidenced in this exhibition.
Robert Chiarito is currently based in California and received his MFA from Stanford University and his BA from University of California, Santa Cruz. He has exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally including the Allan Stone Gallery, NYC; the Triton Museum of Art, CA; Internazionale Dell’Arte Contemporanea (Florence Biennale), Italy; Museum of Art and History of Santa Cruz County, CA; the Museo ItaloAmericano, CA among others. Chiarito’s works are in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC; Lloyds of London, CA; Museum of Art and History of Santa Cruz County, CA; Heritage Bank, CA among additional prominent collections worldwide.

- Wake (diptych)By Fritz BultmanLocated in New Orleans, LAFritz Bultman (1919-1985) was an American Abstract Expressionist painter, sculptor, and collagist and a member of the New York School of artists. He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and moved to Germany to join the Bauhaus at the age of 16. There, he was acquainted with Maria Hofmann, the wife of Hans Hofmann, which initiated a move to New York to study under his guidance. Bultman set himself apart from other Abstract Expressionists with his meticulously organized abstract compositions, use of sculpture, and the adoption of collage as a core practice. In 1950, Fritz Bultman and 27 other distinguished artists signed a letter protesting the conservative nature of the work selected for a forthcoming national exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The signees of this historic letter were identified as, the “Irascibles,” resulting in the majority achieving international acclaim as Abstract Expressionist artists including Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko, among others. Throughout his life Fritz Bultman received several awards including Fulbright and Guggenheim Fellowships and was a founding member of the Long Point...Category
