About the Item

The landscapes and figures in Donald Saaf’s paintings are inspired, in many ways, by his own life and family. Working in oil, gouache, and collage, Saaf’s work features vibrant colors and a web of compositionally inherent lines and forms, such as those found in a stained glass window or quilted textile. The curious, simple surroundings in which his painted figures play music, read books, or sail in boats transform these seemingly familiar practices and pastimes into compelling expressions surrounding themes of family, community, environment, and mortality. Saaf celebrates nature but explores the vulnerability of the viewer’s relationship to the land, expressing a poignancy that reaches beyond the whimsical patterns and tones of the compositions. Donald Saaf is a graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and has been showing nationally for twenty years. In addition to being an important American painter, Saaf is the author of numerous award-winning children’s books.
