"Liberty" Heavy Impasto Expressionist Nude Portrait of a Lady Standing
Abstract expressionist portrait of a woman standing with one arm raised over her head by California artist Harald "Harry" Dry Schmidt (American, 1933-1979). The woman is central to the composition and is bracketed by large swirling swaths of color. The woman's feet touch the bottom edge of the canvas and her raised arm reaches the top edge, thus creating a sense of movement around her. Large areas of color blocking are accentuated by heavy texture. Detailed areas of the painting feature large ridges and the evidence of wet-on-wet painting techniques. Schmidt was an eclectic San Francisco Abstract and Outsider artist from 1960-1990.
Signed on verso " 'Liberty' Dry Schmidt 76"
