About the Item

ROBERT KENNETH WHITE – “1948 WOODY” Oil on Canvas ⚜ Hand Signed Lower Right and Titled on Verso ⚜ Custom Wood Frame A VINTAGE AUTOMOTIVE PORTRAIT WITH CONTEMPORARY SPIRIT “1948 Woody” is a dynamic homage to postwar American craftsmanship, capturing the charm of the classic station wagon with expressive brushwork and a rich, textured surface. Painted by Robert Kenneth White in 2015, the work combines nostalgic subject matter with a fresh, contemporary energy. White’s painterly technique and eye for detail bring out the gleam of the wood paneling, the steel, and the distinctive design of this iconic vehicle. Presented in a custom wood frame with wide canvas liner, the painting exudes presence. The frame shows wear, including chips and minor scuffs, but the artwork itself remains in excellent condition. This large-format piece is ideal for collectors of automotive art, Americana, or contemporary realism.

Raised in Salinas, California, White’s formative years among the coastal and agricultural vistas of Monterey County shaped his appreciation for light, form, and movement. His work bridges traditional oil painting technique with a contemporary aesthetic sensibility. White’s creative approach is grounded in observation: “I don’t paint what is inside of me; I paint what I see outside of me. I’m an observer.” This focus results in compositions that balance structure and spontaneity—scenes that feel both grounded and expressive. Influenced by the likes of John Singer Sargent, Claude Monet, Norman Rockwell, and Rembrandt, White has developed a stylistic voice that is both classical and distinctly his own. His paintings have been acquired by collectors ranging from Steven Spielberg and Michael Douglas to corporate clients like Fairmont Hotels, Toyota, and The Four Seasons. His work continues to resonate with audiences for its emotional clarity and timeless appeal.
