About the Item
This painting, 'Mall Bird,' presents a black bird in an urban landscape using the humor and irony common to Robert Richter's oeuvre. The bird stands in the foreground atop the regularly patterned corbels of an urban sidewalk. In the distance, beyond a parking lot is a strip mall so common to contemporary life. Richter's rendition of the bird is ambiguous: perhaps it is a pigeon, which thrive in urban settings. At the same time, it could be any number of dark-feathered birds native to the artist's current home in Texas. This juxtaposition of nature with banal urban and suburban architecture is just the tongue-in-cheek subject that makes Richter's paintings so endearing an surprising.

Born in Milwaukee, Robert Richter has been painting from the age of eight. His unique paintings are hand carved on wood as well as hand carved frames that become an integral part of the paintings. The artist comments, “I want my paintings to be stunning from across the room, to beckon, as all good paintings should. And then close up, what a surprise!” The artist lived in New York where he painted literally everything from stage sets to mural commissions. He painted store front windows, lithographs from aluminum plates for actors, T-shirts, costumes, curtains, wall hangings, furniture and floors. His unique experiences, intellect, extraordinary color sensibility result in a stunning style with flavors of Avery, Grant Wood and Matisse, but mostly himself.

- Au Lac. Large Naive Acrylic on Board.Located in Cotignac, FRLarge Naïve acrylic on board attributed to a French artist named Le Bris as the work was bought with another painting signed by the artist. The painting is presented in a gilt wooden baton frame. Naïve art is often seen as outsider art that is by someone without formal (or little) training or degree. While this was true before the twentieth century, there are now academies for naïve art. Naïve art is now a fully recognized art genre, represented in art galleries worldwide. The characteristics of naïve art have a challenging relationship to the formal qualities of painting, especially as they tend not to respect the three rules of the perspective (such as defined by the Progressive Painters of the Renaissance): 1. Decrease of the size of objects proportionally with distance, 2. Muting of colours with distance, 3. Decrease of the precision of details with distance. The results are: Effects of perspective are geometrically erroneous (distinctive aspect of the works, like the drawing of a child...Category
