About the Item

In this painting, Robert Richter presents the viewer with a deep and vibrant field of red grass. Indeed, the term 'field' here is apt, as the large expanse of red in the painting seems to borrow from the color field paintings of the Abstract Expressionists. Mark Rothko, for example, composed his spiritual paintings of fields of pure color, looking to how those colors resonate next to one another. Here too, Richter stacks registers of green and yellow atop the red field, exploring color relationships, but also how simple abstractions are at the core of all painting. 36 x 48 inches, painting 43 x 55 inches, frame Titled, dated, signed in pencil & stamped with initial on verso Housed in a frame of the artist's design and construction 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.
