circa 1960

About the Item

"Library" Mid 20th Century Precisionism Cubist Realism Modernism Architectural. Signed verso. Robert Herrmann hid his paintings from the public for over 40 years. In fact, nothing is known of his artistic life after his years of formal education in both art and art history. Herrmann’s architectural landscapes from the 50s and 60s reflect a comprehensive and deeply felt knowledge of early Precisionist School painters Charles Demuth and Charles Sheeler. Presumably, Herrmann would have been greatly admired by his contemporaries and desirable to galleries. Even so, he shunned all avenues to show his work. His precisionist work is characterized by crisp and refined industrial and urban scenes of New York, Cincinnati and Washington DC, all places he lived for significant parts of his life. The painting measures 18 x 22 inches. The framed work is 21 x 25 inches.
