Duke Windsor
Impressionistic Cityscape Acrylic Painting, "Golden Skies No. 4"

About the Item

The Golden Skies series came about after several years of experimenting with new ways to create my urban/rural cityscape scenes in a fresh way. I was inspired to utilize gold leaf after seeing the biopic film, Klimt. In the movie, Klimt (John Malkovich) is working the “Adele Bloch-Bauer” portrait, and in the scene, he was applying gold leaf on the painting. Later while visiting the Timken Museum in Balboa Park, I viewed the collection of Russian Icons on wood panels. The reverence and visceral experience I felt from the luminance of these traditional Icon works inspired me to recreate this feeling in my work. As I continue to develop gilding techniques, I often refer back to these works for inspiration. In the art world, gilding techniques are considered as merely a decorative art. My goal is to assert gilding as a more contemporary medium. -Duke Windsor This is a one of a kind original acrylic and gold leaf painting by San Diego artist, Duke Windsor.
