This is a unique original painting by Roland Ginzel in a mid-century modern, minimalist style that would make a bold, yet warm, statement piece. The work is signed "Ginzel" on the verso and is stretched on a heavy wood stretcher. The minimalist style does not mean the painting is 'simple', it has great depth and texture due to complex layering.
This stunning piece was acquired during liquidation of the artist's personal collection and studio in Massachusetts during the final years prior to his death.
36.5"h x 73.5"w x 1.25"d
Roland Ginzel earned his B.F.A. at the Art Institute of Chicago (AIC) with a focus on printmaking in 1948; he married fellow AIC artist Ellen Lanyon (1926 - 2013). Ginzel worked under Mauricio Lasansky and received his M.F.A. from the University of Iowa in 1950. He studied printmaking during post-graduate studies at the Slade School of Art in London under John Buckland Wright, and also at the Academia de Belle Arti in Rome.
Ginzel returned to Chicago in 1951 and taught printmaking part time at the University of Chicago and several years later co-founded the Graphic Art Workshop, which became a hub for printmakers from all over the country. He joined the staff of the University of Illinois Chicago in 1955 and taught there until 1985. Later in his career, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Lincoln College and taught part time at the Parsons School of Design and Columbia University while splitting his time between New York City and Massachusetts.
His work was featured in the First Chicago Invitational in 1962 and has been exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and at the Whitney Biennial in New York, and throughout Europe and Japan. The University of Illinois Chicago held a retrospective of his work in 1986.
Ginzel's work is in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, Brooklyn Museum, Dallas Museum of Art, National Gallery of Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Illinois State Museum, Joslyn Museum of Art, and the University of Michigan Museum of Art.
