Dan Shupe, American, 1935 to 2020, mixed media painting on a wood panel depicting a portrait of a lady, probably, musician, in the manner of Expressionism. Signed to the center right. Framed. Circa: 20th century. Dan Shupe was an American artist and sculptor. He was born in Colorado. 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 used sparingly, suggesting passion, humor and an almost innocent celebration of life and freedom on the edge. One of a kind artwork.
