Lot description

Dynamic and surreal, this original oil painting on wood panel by American artist Robert Beauchamp captures a dreamlike tableau of a pale, elongated nude figure striding across a dark, textured ground, accompanied by vividly rendered fantastical creatures, a bright blue simian and a fiery red birdlike form. The bold contrast of colors and expressive brushwork reveal Beauchamp's distinctive approach to figurative abstraction, blending whimsical narrative with psychological depth. Robert Beauchamp was an influential figure in the New York art scene, known for his bold and idiosyncratic paintings often populated by enigmatic characters and mythical animals. He studied at the Art Students League under Morris Kantor and was associated with the Figurative Expressionist movement. His works are held in the collections of major institutions including the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Hirshhorn Museum. This piece exemplifies his fearless use of color, gesture, and surreal composition to evoke emotion and mystery. Artist: Robert Beauchamp (American 1923-1995) Issued: c. 1990 Dimensions: 23.25"L x 19.75"H Country of Origin: USA
