Vintage Abstract Painting by Robert Beauchamp

About the Item

Vintage Abstract Painting by Robert Beauchamp Offered is an original work on paper by Robert Beauchamp (1923 – March 1995) signed lower right. This piece was acquired by the previous owner from the New Museum in New York City. Beauchamp was an American figurative painter and arts educator. His paintings and drawings are known for depicting dramatic creatures and figures with expressionistic colors. His works are in the permanent collections of the MOMA, Met and Smithsonian to name a few. His work was described in the New York Times as being "both frightening and amusing". He was a Guggenheim Fellow and a student of Hans Hofmann. The painting is presented under glass and is framed with a painted wood and Lucite molding. Wired and ready to hang. The Smithsonian's biography of Beauchamp follows: Robert Beauchamp studied with Boardman Robinson at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center and attended Cranbrook Academy of Art before working with Abstract Expressionist Hans Hofmann. In 1953 he gave up abstract art, believing it to be too esoteric and remote from immediate life, and returned to painting the figure. Beauchamp's approach, however, was to "distort, fantasize and pile in the images ... to paint objects with the subtleties of natural forms and the subjectivity possible through abstraction." In the decades after he began exhibiting, Beauchamp received several grants, traveled to Rome on a Fulbright fellowship (1959), and held several teaching positions. A New York resident in his later years, Beauchamp exhibited regularly and painted fanciful, sometimes horrific, scenes in which "reality" provided as important a source of inspiration as did the imagination.
