About the Item
"Symphony" by Steven Rehfeld is a captivating 57" x 65" mixed media contemporary abstract that resonates with the dynamic rhythm of a musical ensemble. The canvas becomes a stage for a harmonious blend of textures and colors, each layer contributing its own unique note to the composition. Swirls of muted blues, passionate reds, and earthy tones intermingle, creating a visual melody that is both chaotic and coordinated. Dark, expressive strokes evoke the deep resonance of string instruments, while splashes of color seem to dance like notes on a musical score. The artwork's tactile elements, with thick paints and mixed media components, further amplify its depth and emotion, creating a symphonic experience that engages the senses. This piece is a testament to Rehfeld's ability to transcend traditional art boundaries and create a multi-sensory experience, much like a live orchestra performance.
About the Artist:
Introducing Steven H. Rehfeld, a distinctive force in contemporary art, whose innovative approach transcends the conventional boundaries of artistic creation. With a profound grasp on the foundational elements of art, Rehfeld's work is a testament to his unmatched prowess and his relentless pursuit of excellence in the art world.
Born in San Francisco, in October 1954, Steven H. Rehfeld embarked on his artistic journey influenced by the diverse cultural backdrop of the Bay Area.

"First and foremost, I go beyond any artist ever," Rehfeld asserts, reflecting his deep understanding of art's foundation akin to the scientific precision of the periodic table. This comparison underlines his approach to art as a rigorous discipline where each element is as crucial as a chemical compound in a meticulously crafted formula.

Steven H. Rehfeld
Steven H. Rehfeld, a California artist, holds a B.A. in studio art from the University of California, Santa Barbara. He draws inspiration from the 'Outsiders' school of art that originated in 19th-century France, known as the Naïve movement. Also referred to as the Naïve or Primitive art movement, was comprised of artists with no formal art training who discovered their talent and began painting. Many of these artists came from challenging backgrounds, and their raw talent remained untapped until they expressed themselves through art. The movement quickly gained prominence and spread worldwide. Steven Rehfeld's artistic style has evolved beyond the Naïve movement, incorporating earth elements to create a basic and raw interpretation of his artistic message. Discover the exclusive collection of Steven H. Rehfeld's artwork at The American Art Gallery. Artist Statement "My oil, acrylic, and mixed media paintings explore the dynamic relationship between progressiveness and tradition, personal and cultural experiences, and the interplay between the human form and iconography. Through these explorations, I engage in a dialogue that reveals how the intangible influences the material world. Color contrast forms, negative/positive space, and visual kinetic energy shape these artistic relationships. Additionally, I fuse abstract art with elements of realism to create a unique artistic experience."

Provenance
Compass Rose, Chicago
Born Sylvan Irwin Goldberg in 1924 and raised in the Bronx, Michael Goldberg was an important figure in American Abstract Expressionism, who began taking art classes at the Art Students League in 1938. A gifted student, Goldberg finished high school at the age of 14 and enrolled in City College. He soon found New York’s jazz scene to be a more compelling environment, and he began skipping classes in favor of the Harlem jazz clubs near campus. Goldberg’s love of jazz would become a lifelong passion and a key component to his approach to composition in his paintings.
From 1940 to 1942, like many of the leading artists of the New York School, Goldberg studied with Hans Hofmann. In 1943, he put his pursuit of painting on hold and enlisted in the U.S. Army. Serving in North Africa, Burma, and India, Goldberg received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star before being discharged in 1946. After his service, he traveled and worked in Venezuela before returning to the United States, settling back in New York and resuming studies with Hofmann and at the Art Students League.
Living downtown and frequenting the Cedar Bar, Goldberg befriended many of the artists of the New York School. In 1951, his work was included in the groundbreaking Ninth Street Show, co-organized by Leo Castelli, Conrad Marca-Relli, and the Eighth Street Club, and featuring the work of - among others - Hofmann, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Franz Kline. In 1953, the Tibor de Nagy...
