Neo-Expressionist Oil "The Beach at Santa Monica" by Dan Shube in Gold Frame

About the Item

This artwork features an oil painting of the beach of Santa Monica. The artist depicts beachgoers and colorful sunshades on a cloudy day. The overall impression is joyful, like a Sunday get-together of family and friends. Dan Shupe was born in Colorado in the late 1930s. He grew up in Venice, California, where he started sculpting early. He took many trips to Mexico and was profoundly influenced by the local folk artists. Dan moved to the East Coast in the late 1950s, where he studied with Franz Klein at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. By the 1960s, Dan began having successful shows in Philadelphia, New York, and Los Angeles. In the last decade, Dan has evolved into the leading force in the Neo-Expressionist style that is reminiscent of the 1920s and 1930s. His luscious palette is achieved through layer upon layer of pigment, then lacquered and waxed—pure colors in the Fauve tradition. Vibrant color is used sparingly, suggesting passion, humor, and an almost innocent celebration of life and freedom on edge.
