About the Item

Raymond Howell, Chinese Dim Sum Feast, 1979 Oil on masonite 28" x 36" unframed, 35.5" x 43. 75" framed Biography from Raymond Howell website: Raymond Howell’s paintings are based in realism, with influences of surrealism, impressionism, and modern abstraction. During the 1990’s he created series of paintings depicting ballet dancers and jazz musicians who were innovators, and he experimented with abstraction and painting combined with collage. Raymond Howell was an extremely versatile artist and his paintings show many of the techniques used by both the Old Masters (extensive layering of thin pigments for luminosity) and the modernists. His works express his personal experiences and his deep understanding of life. Raymond Howell died in Oakland, California on January 6, 2002. On that same day an important exhibition of his recent works opened at the Oakland Museum. He was to speak at the event however his death had to be announced to a shocked attendance who were looking forward to meeting the artist and listening to him speak about his work. Many of Howell’s paintings depicted scenes of San Francisco and Oakland, California. In September of 2002 the San Francisco Board of Supervisors declared that September 7th (Raymond’s birthday) would be ‘Raymond Howell Day’ in San Francisco, and in Oakland, January 6th was declared to be ‘Raymond Howell Day’.
