About the Item
Sophie is an expressive and highly individualistic Post Impressionist work reminiscent of Chaim Soutine. Cottavoz isn known and celebrated for using incredibly thick paint that is as interesting to look at as his subjects. This has vivid and appealing reds and pinks. The frame is high quality custom frame with silver leafing on the front edge and a patinated cream color to the panel. Cotavoz’ portraits dazzle the viewer and reveal both the complexities of the figure and the finesse of a superb and accomplished abstraction. Sophie's jewel-like surface draws you in for closer inspection, leaving behind the portrait and heightening the abstract quality of the canvas. Very few artists have successfully employed such dynamic impasto techniques to as great an end, often applying paint thickly while abandoned narration.

- Woman, Yellow Shawl and FanLocated in Greenwich, CTAn impressive and masterful depiction of a young woman with a fan. An American artist who studied and traveled in Europe and painted this painting before his return. It has its original frame which is magnificent. The frame has been regilded in th past 10 years. Vinton was abroad in the 1880s. The sitter gazes coyly over her fan in a gesture that ladies and gentleman of fin-de-siècle Europe would have understood to mean “wait for me,” and perhaps indicating her interest in a potential suitor. Vinton embarked on several trips to Europe—to Spain in 1882 with William Merritt Chase and Robert Blum, and to several different countries in 1888 following his marriage—which provided inspiration for a renewed style and subject matter. While in Spain with Chase and Blum, the three artists visited Madrid and Toledo; there, Vinton studied the masterfully tenebrous portraits of Velázquez, an influence that can be seen in Portrait with Yellow Shawl...Category
