Stefan Knapp Enamel Painting on Steel Panel 'Untitled' 1989
By Stefan Knapp
Located in London, GB
Born in Poland in 1921, Knapp was arrested by the Russians in 1939 at the age of eighteen, and sent to a prison camp in Siberia. He was released in 1941 and then undertook an epic journey through numerous countries still at war, eventually making it to Britain, where he enrolled in the RAF and spent several years as a Spitfire pilot. The dramatic aerial perspective of the world that he experienced during this time would become highly influential in his painting. In 1947 he enrolled in London’s Central School of Arts, following which he studied at the Slade School of Art.
In 1953 Knapp discovered the remarkable luminescent qualities of jewellery enamel while attempting to fix a girlfriend’s broach that she had broken after secretly borrowing it from her father’s collection. He immediately began experimenting on sheets of copper, and before long was producing enormous panels of up to ten feet long. There was a tremendous building boom at this time both in Europe and America and Knapp envisaged buildings throughout cities being clad with vibrant enamel exteriors. In 1957 he adapted his technique to suit steel which was stronger than copper and the earliest accomplished examples of this important development were shown in an exhibition at Pierre Matisse Gallery in New York the same year. In 1958 he received his first chance to realise his dream when he was commissioned to create seventeen large murals for Heathrow Airport. Many other major commissions followed, including an enamel mural for the Seagram Building in New York, and the Alexander Corporation, New Jersey, in 1960 which was the largest mural ever created, measuring 200 x 50 feet. Knapp created these large-scale works with the vision that they would transform the meaning of the architecture and buildings they adorned. By the 1960’s Knapp had achieved international acclaim and exhibited extensively throughout the world.
The artist’s work is represented in numerous major museums of modern art, including: Museum of Fine Art, Dallas; Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Tate Gallery, London; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Hall of Fame Museum, Mexico City; Breda Museum; Katowice Museum, Poland; Royal Palace, Rabat; The Art Center, Milwaukee; San Jose Museum of Arts, U.S.A.; Holocaust Museum...

Antique, New and Vintage Decorative Art
Antique, new and vintage decorative art is crucial to personalizing your interior.
Bringing art into your home will help you create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, whether you are expecting to regularly host guests for cocktails in your living room or you are inclined to soak up some “me time” on weekends by curling up with a book in your library. After all, a room isn’t quite complete until you hang some art on the walls.
Choosing a piece of art for your interior is a matter of finding something that resonates with you. You should also consider what will work with your current decor. Keep in mind that a wide range of objects counts as decorative art — antique and vintage prints, paintings, wall-mounted sculptures and more. There is so much to choose from! And art can feel as deeply personal with the vintage posters that promoted your favorite classic films as it can with framed photographs of your loved ones.
Decorative art can set the mood for a room and will typically make for great conversation. When you find wall decor and decorations that speak to you, why not introduce them into your space? It will give you and your guests the opportunity to meaningfully engage with the art every time you see it. You can play with different styles, eras and colors. Mix and match pieces to integrate a refreshing pop of color or create a theme by dedicating a room to a color palette or certain time period. A great way to tie your layout together is to choose wall art that complements your decor and color scheme.
Folk art is an interesting category for its wide range of works across various media and the array of textures it can offer. Paper art is another versatile option because it will be easy to find a home for portraits, collages, drawings and other works in your space. With decorative paper art, you can also get creative with how you arrange your wall art. There are plenty of options that include hanging the works salon-style.
On 1stDibs, find a constantly growing collection of antique and vintage decorative art today.
