About the Item

A burst of pure delight in primary colors, by a notable artist who's been exhibited at many of America's most important museums. It was painted during the mid-century resurgence of cubism, and has that (now) highly sought-after mid-century feel integrated with the "classic" look of early 20th-century art. Glicenstein Romano's work has been exhibited at, and in many cases is in the collections of, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Musee Nacional de France, The Whitney, the Met, and so on. Signed lower right. Comes pre-framed in an elaborate wooden frame. 30" x 33.5" with frame. 21" x 24" without frame. Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans, with our firm guarantee. The following is information about the artist as it appears in the AskArt database: "Born in Rome, Italy, Emanuel Romano became a painter, illustrator, muralist and teacher in New York City where from 1944 to 1945 he taught at the City College of New York. One of his murals is in the Klondike Building, Welfare Island, New York. He studied in Switzerland and exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and in 1940 at the Art Institute of Chicago.

"Superimposition of Two Forms" - Contemporary Abstract Painting
By G. Campbell Lyman
Located in New Orleans, LA
Artist's Statement: "I had been making some very colorful paintings based on rings or circles that have been very well received, but my forms and brushstrokes began to tighten and feel a little restrained. So I decided to change both the forms and the strokes, and lose a lot of the color, and do something different for awhile. I stayed with simple forms as in general I am much more interested in surface and color anyway. With this painting, after I had finished the central piece, I felt it lacked gravitas due mostly to size, and so I decided to affix the canvas to an underlying canvas painted in a very flat black color, with texture to it (I actually used house paint for this, which is perfect for what I wanted). So the painting is actually a canvas attached to another, and has three-dimensionality to it. You can see in the close-ups the "strokiness" I was after. I think this painting has a sort of Rothko-ish, iconic quality to it, but without the gravitas." Recent message from a 1stDibs buyer and seasoned collector about a painting in the prior "ring" series: "Love your work. We collect colorists like Wolf Kahn and Jennifer Bartlett, whom I commissioned a piece from that is in the entrance of Mayo Clinic. We are old fans...
