Lot description

Loran Wilford (1892-1972) American, Large Oil on Canvas Impressionist Female Nude. Stylized, ethereal composition of three nude figures set against a muted green and dark blue background. Unsigned. Titled "Hair", verso. Unframed. Size: 48 x 35 3/4 in. Loran Frederick Wilford (1892–1972) was a Sarasota-based painter, illustrator, and influential art educator best known for his expressive Florida landscapes and watercolor work. Early in his career, he worked as a commercial illustrator in Kansas City and later gained national recognition through magazine illustration and gallery exhibitions across the United States. In the 1930s, he moved to Florida and became a longtime instructor at the Ringling School of Art, where he taught for decades and helped shape generations of artists. Wilford’s work often captured Florida’s light, atmosphere, and everyday life with a romantic realism that earned him a strong reputation in American art circles.
