Mid-Century Still Life Oil on Canvas of Chrysanthemums in Copper Vase.

1960s

About the Item

Mid-Century still life of chrysanthemums in copper vase, oil on canvas signed R Colao bottom left. A wonderfully colourful and vibrant still life, beautifully painted in his characteristic slightly impressionistic style. A quality piece as it is a work of his, oil on canvas. American artist Rudolph Colao created his still life paintings using actual bouquets or floral landscapes for inspiration. At the age of 33, in 1960, he received the Grand Prize award at the Washington Square Art Exhibit, a show of over one thousand artists. Texture and light, as well as perspective and depth, are key features in Rudolph Colao paintings. In 1995, artist Rudolph Colao won the Rockport Art Association's Excellence in Painting award for his stunning floral still life work. He was a member of the Allied Artists of America, and taught at two different U.S. art schools (the Art Students' League of New York, and The Scottsdale Artist's School in Arizona). Articles on the artist have appeared in American Artist Magazine (March 1975), Southwest Art Magazine (March 1982), American Artist Magazine (May 1982) and Focus/Santa Fe (Aug/Sept 1988).

Located in Cotignac, FR
Large mid-century abstract expressionist oil on canvas of a still life of flowers by Belgian artist Eric Verhal. Signed and dated '65 to the bottom right and again to the reverse of the canvas. A colourful and energetic painting of a vase of flowers. Very much of its period. Angular lines reminiscent of the work of Bernard Buffet outline and crisscross luminescent fields of colour in orange, yellow, white and red. A real period piece, strong and full of energy. Eric Verhal ( born: 1938 ) : Masters of Art History and Archaelogy, State University, Ghent, Belgium. Masters of Fine Arts, Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A. In 1968, after a period of four years as a teacher at the Lycée des Garçons in Sfax, Tunisia, Verhal left for Spain and Portugal with a scholarship from the Belgian Gouverment. After this, he traveled to the U.S.A. where he taught painting and printmaking at the Washington University, St. Louis, U.S.A. In 1970 he obtained his Masters of Fine Arts degree at the same university. From 1973 up until 1999, Verhal taught history of art at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Ghent, Belgium. In the summers of 1974 till 1981, Verhal taught diffirent courses at the Portland School of Art, Maine, U.S.A. and at the University of North-Carolina, Greensboro, North-Carolina, U.S.A.
