I recently acquired a collection of wonderful paintings from the 1950s by well listed artist anthony triano. For those not familiar with the artist, I have included his biography below. I have only listed a few of the works I have. This is one of my favorites of the group. Ink and watercolor on paper with the image measuring 12 1/2 x 7 1/2 inches. Signed and dated lower right corner. Excellent as created condition. Painting is taped verso at the edges into the original matte. The matte is non archival and should be replaced. It will be shipped in the matte for safety. An incredible painting that would look even better in a proper matte and frame. If you collect the artist's work or are interested in others by him check my store for the others I am offering.

For those not familiar with the artist his biography from a website that sells his work reads: "famous as a painter, sculptor, illustrator and educator, anthony triano has been one of our most versatile and prolific artists. He is noted for his unique ability to embody the essence of humanity and nature upon large canvases, in fluent terra cotta sculptures and on jewel-like surfaces with radiant monumentality. At the end of world war ii, he enrolled at the newark school of fine arts, where he studied under the gi bill and became a friend and apprentice to the great sculptor reuben nakian. This affiliation presented an early sophistication and association with pollack, dekooning, kline, charles egan and other dynamic personalities of the greatest art adventure of the 20th century. True to the legacy of this experience, triano devoted his life to the study and development of a significantly universal style. His creations are constantly evolving in such series as: each day, the wonders, heaven and earth, geo, the passions, a sound of angels, the elegance of women and the olympians. His works have been exhibited in 37 one-man shows by prominent galleries, corporations and museums, featured in numerous publications and the subject of 12 television programs. Thousands of his works are in private and public collections, including: the newark museum, the montclair art museum, the lowe museum in coral gables, the new york lithographic society, abbott laboratories, the hartford art foundation, the monmouth historical society, johnson and johnson, j.L. Hudson, house and garden magazine, seton hall university and law school, the university of alabama, william paterson university, wykeham rise, the golden lemon on st. Kitts, the library of congress and wuhan university in the people's republic of china. In 1971 triano was appointed artist-in-residence at seton hall university and became a full-time professor the following year. This position added a new dimension to his constant research, greatly increased his artistic powers and enabled him to extend his legacy to others." See less
