Robert Philipp Figurative Paintings

American, 1895-1981

Robert Philipp was a portrait, figure and still-life painter. He painted celebrities, landscapes and nudes. Philipp often used his wife, Shelby Post, as a model in his paintings. His concepts and teaching methods inspired several students whom he taught at the Art Students League in New York from 1948–73 and at the National Academy of Design from 1950–75. Philipp's works are on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum in New York.

Nude Sitting

By Howard Rogers

Located in San Francisco, CA

This artwork "Sitting Nude" c.1990, is an oil painting on hardboard panel by noted American artist Howard Rogers, b.1932. It is signed at the lower right corner by the artist. The artwork (panel) size is 8.85 x 11.85 inches, framed size is 17.75 x 21 inches. Framed in original wooden gold and grey frame, with fabric liner and gold bevel. It is in excellent condition, the frame have very small minor restorations, practically invisible. About the artist: Howard Rogers wanted to be an artist for as long as he could remember. "I had no idea what an artist was when I was a kid," he laughs. "But I had a distant cousin who had gone to art school and I saw some of his drawings. They really impressed me." Born and raised in San Diego, California, Rogers now focuses on the future: "I kind of enjoy today and tomorrow and to heck with yesterday." While in high school, Rogers took some art classes and served as an apprentice sign painter, eventually becoming a journeyman. He was also a member of his high school track team, competing in the high jump, the hurdles and cross-country, as well as doing some bike racing. Following a stint in the Army, he began training for the Olympics in bike racing, trying out in 1948, 1952 and 1956. Today, "I ride a stationary bike in front of my easel three times a week." After trying out for the 1956 Olympics...
