About the Item
Steven H. Rehfeld (American, born 1954)
"San Francisco" 2023
Oil Paint, Canvas, Stretcher Bars
The artist signed the back of the painting.
"San Francisco" by Steven H. Rehfeld offers a dynamic fusion of figurative and abstract elements, drawing the viewer into a narrative that is both ethereal and grounded. The central figure, a poised female form, floats effortlessly in the composition, evoking both vulnerability and strength. The use of gray tones for the figure contrasts sharply with the vibrant pops of color from the geometric shapes at the bottom of the canvas—bold oranges, reds, and yellows, reminiscent of the city's iconic landmarks.
About the Artist:
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. Educated at the College of San Mateo and the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he majored in Studio Art, Rehfeld refined his eclectic style, harmoniously blending abstract art with realism. "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."

By Robert Kaess

Inscribed lower right, 'R. Kaess' for Robert Kaess (American, 1923-1991) and dated ''64'.
Robert Kaess studied at the University of California under Margaret Petersen and Erle Loran, receiving his B.F.A. in 1948 and M.F.A. in 1950. He traveled in Europe from 1952-3 to continue his art studies and paint. In the late 1950's, he developed an allergy to oil paint and, not caring to paint in another medium, he returned to the University of California at Berkeley to study medicine. After graduation, Robert Kaess practiced medicine for almost thirty years but, in his short and successful career as an artist, he painted many fine and original paintings.
