About the Item

The Three Philadelphians, Large-Scale Modern Figurative Cityscape Bold color creates tension and arrests the eye of the viewer in Dick Crispo's "Porto Rican Trilogy." (Puerto Rican). Saturated colors are achieved through layering and painterly application. Among the three figures is Roberto Clemente of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Signed and dated upper left "D. Crispo '80" and 1981 on a label on verso. Displayed in a gunmetal gray frame. Image size: 30"H x 40"L.

He has also studied at the Monterey Peninsula College, Hartnell College in Salinas, and the University of California, Santa Cruz. Known for his abstract like figurative work and landscapes, Crispo has produced over 60 murals throughout the United States. His most important work may be the mile-long mural at the Soledad State Prison in Soledad, California. He paints both indoors, and en plein air.
