About the Item

In 'Flower Dancer,' Robert Richter presents the viewer with a closely cropped image of a canna lily. Whereas many of his paintings use deep and richly saturated color, here he treats the subject more delicately using thin washes of oil on top of the carved wood panel. This use of color, along with the tall vertical format of the painting, shows how Richter draws from the compositions of Japanese woodcut prints. This is particularly fitting given the relationship between the traditional carving techniques for woodcut print blocks and the carving of the present artwork. 48 x 22 inches, painting 55.25 x 29.25 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.
