Description
This is one of my first large paintings in a project when studying color and design with John Avakian at Mount Ida Junior College in Newton, Massachusetts. The challenge was to make an illusional work that would be seen both as an abstract work and representational piece. We learned how to simplify even the most complicated of pictures down to 3 tones and break apart the representational aspects into pure design. This process was called closure.
This painting sold at the first exhibit I showed it in at the college. It is a Saint Bernard and it's litter of puppies. A large painting using red, black and orange colors. This was during a period when optical art was still popular and being taught in art history and art schools. I do not know the whereabouts of this painting now.
This image is a scanned slide, my only remaining record as it predates the digital era for artists.
