Robert Richter'Apples' original oil on wood painting signed by Robert Richter2011

About the Item
In this oil on wood panel painting, Robert Richter places the viewer at the foot of a path that wraps around and beyond a small apple tree. The tree, with its ruby apples, casts a cool shadow in the foreground, the deep green of which fades into yellows as the landscape recedes into the distance. Richter's minimal use of line for the landscape suggests shrubs and growth, but the simplicity leaves the space to the imagination. The ambiguity privileges faint memory over direct observation, and is part of Richter's working process.

Born in Milwaukee, Robert Richter has been painting from the age of eight. His unique paintings are hand carved on wood as well as hand carved frames that become an integral part of the paintings. The artist comments, “I want my paintings to be stunning from across the room, to beckon, as all good paintings should. And then close up, what a surprise!” The artist lived in New York where he painted literally everything from stage sets to mural commissions. He painted store front windows, lithographs from aluminum plates for actors, T-shirts, costumes, curtains, wall hangings, furniture and floors. His unique experiences, intellect, extraordinary color sensibility result in a stunning style with flavors of Avery, Grant Wood and Matisse, but mostly himself.

- Au Lac. Large Naive Acrylic on Board.Located in Cotignac, FRLarge Naïve acrylic on board attributed to a French artist named Le Bris as the work was bought with another painting signed by the artist. The painting is presented in a gilt wooden baton frame. Naïve art is often seen as outsider art that is by someone without formal (or little) training or degree. While this was true before the twentieth century, there are now academies for naïve art. Naïve art is now a fully recognized art genre, represented in art galleries worldwide. The characteristics of naïve art have a challenging relationship to the formal qualities of painting, especially as they tend not to respect the three rules of the perspective (such as defined by the Progressive Painters of the Renaissance): 1. Decrease of the size of objects proportionally with distance, 2. Muting of colours with distance, 3. Decrease of the precision of details with distance. The results are: Effects of perspective are geometrically erroneous (distinctive aspect of the works, like the drawing of a child...Category
