About the Item

The landscapes and figures in Donald Saaf’s paintings are inspired, in many ways, by his own life and family. Working in oil, gouache, and collage, Saaf’s work features vibrant colors and a web of compositionally inherent lines and forms, such as those found in a stained glass window or quilted textile.

Donald Saaf is a graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and has been showing nationally for twenty years. In addition to being an important American painter, Saaf is the author of numerous award-winning children’s
