Dan Wuthrich
Seated Jester

About the Item

Signed lower right, 'Wuthrich', and accompanied by the original certificate of authenticity. Oil portrait of a jester dressed in black, white and emerald harlequin with bells on his collar and fool's hat, seated on a stone wall with the full moon hanging low in the coral and wine-red sky behind him. Raised in a family that supported Wuthrich's interest in the arts, Dan Wuthrich has been painting since he was eight and at eleven had artwork featured in a Wisconsin newspaper article. After high school, Wuthrich continued his fine art studies at the Layton School of Art from 1954-1959 and at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1961 taking courses in printmaking, English, speech and psychology. While maintaining his painting career, Wuthrich established a professional career as an engineer from 1965 to 1991, working for American Motors in Milwaukee and the Chrysler plant in Belvidere. Wuthrich’s art has been featured in galleries throughout Wisconsin, Illinois, Florida and Arizona. Of his art he says: “I have found that by allowing my mind to take me where it wants to go, I find myself traveling down many paths that I have not visited, or perhaps have forgotten. The subject matter, and approach to these pieces varies greatly. I have begun to realize that there may be many roads that I have not traveled. Who knows what tomorrow might bring.” Courtesy of Artist's website and Beloit Daily News

An Irish Rogue
Located in London, GB
Oil on board, signed and dated '44 lower right Image size: 15 x 19 inches (38 x 48.25 cm) Contemporary style hand made frame This portrait of an unknown man certainly captures the personality of the chosen sitter. With hat tilted to the side, eyebrow lifted and a half smile of the man's face, one gets the impression that he is finding the whole process of having his portrait painted rather amusing. Still in Ireland at this time, the sitter is likely to have been a friend of the artist, from Belfast. In 1944 there was a group exhibition in Belfast held at the textile business of William Ewart & Sons on Bedford Street. Here Smith showed his works alongside the artists Colin Middleton...
