Lot 0057: AMERICAN OIL PAINTING BOATS BY RAIMONDS STAPRANS

41 reviews

Raimonds Staprans, Latvian, American, born 1926, oil painting on canvas, Triple Boats, 1963. Signed and dated lower left. Dramed. Original paper labels of Maxwell Galleries are on the backside. Raimonds Staprans is known for Abstract imagery still life painting, sculpture. He is a painter whose still life and landscape compositions explore color and form by examining the geometry or 'architecture' of everyday objects, chairs, tables, fruit, anonymous buildings and subverting their inherent naturalism via color and flattened compositions. Rigorous geometry and a strong line are hallmarks of Staprans's painting. Though superficially associated with the paintings of Wayne Thiebaud, due to similar subject matter and a high keyed California palette, Staprans' work is more akin to the formal abstractions of painters Josef Albers and Piet Mondrian. Old Masters, American and Californian Paintings, Wall Art, Home Decor, and Collectibles. One of a kind artwork.

Overall good vintage condition. Signs of age and wear. Refer to photos. Sold As Is.
