About the Item

In this painting, Robert Richter has composed a tightly-cropped image of a leafy bush, paying attention to its individual leaves and flowers. The bush becomes a landscape in and of itself, with forms that seem to become hills and valleys. Below the shrub, a row of small flowers - perhaps dandelions - scatter the foreground like tiny trees. This of course conflicts with the actual landscape that can be seen on either side of the bush, looking out to a tree-lined lake or river. This playful ambiguity between form and ground privileges faint memory over direct observation and is part of Richter's working process. 34 x 54 inches, painting 41 x 61 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.
