1971
About the Item
Hal Frater's "Pink Sky" is a moody landscape that masterfully captures the play of light at dusk. Dominated by a majestic mountain under a vast, dusky sky, the painting is steeped in warm shades of pink and red that wash across the canvas, lending a dreamlike atmosphere to the scene. The dark silhouette of the mountain anchors the composition, while the reflections on the water's surface add a dynamic contrast to the softness of the sky. Frater's brushwork is loose and expressive, allowing the colors to blend and creating a sense of movement within the stillness of the landscape. This work evokes a quiet reflection and the serene beauty of nature, emphasizing the grandeur of the natural world as it succumbs to the tranquil blanket of night.
About the Artist:
Hal Frater was not just an artist, but a storyteller who left us on February 3, 2008, on the cusp of his 99th birthday. His fifty-year tenure as a commercial artist was a testament to his adaptability and appeal. Yet it was in his private studio where Frater’s true passion lay — painting not for clients, but for his own soul's expression. His work, always striving to capture the nuances of the human spirit, reflected his sharp observational skills.
His artistry was honed not in formal schools, but alongside his peers in spontaneous gatherings, painting from life, sharing techniques and critiques that fueled their collective growth. Influenced by the likes of Jack Levine, Raphael Soyer, John Sloan, Thomas Hart Benton, Reginald Marsh, and Phillip Reisman, Frater’s work resonated with the depth and diversity of these mentors.
The 1920s, a time of bold strides in art following the devastation of World War I and a climate ripe with political change, greatly influenced Hal Frater's creations. He thrived among the emerging discussions of Marxism in the art world, absorbing the era’s yearning for a synthesis of art, craft, and design heralded by institutions like the Bauhaus. This period's ethos of Gesamtkunstwerk — a total work of art — is an enduring echo in the legacy of Hal Frater’s diverse and reflective body of work.
An original painting, one-of-a-kind.
