Paul Chidlaw Original Oil on Board Landscape with Figures
Item Details
An original abstract oil painting on board by well-listed American artist Paul Chidlaw (1900-1989), titled A Day by Lake Garda – Italy. The painting uses heavy impasto and abstraction to depict two figures walking near the famed Lake Garda in northern Italy. The scene is painted in bright shades of pink, teal, periwinkle, and red. The painting is signed in yellow paint to the lower left. Its title and dimensions are written in ink on the verso. The painting is presented in a modern deeply-set gilt frame with a hanging wire attached to the verso. Paul Chidlaw was born in Cleves, Ohio and studied at both the Cincinnati Art Academy and L’Ecole des Beaux Arts in Fontainebleau, France. He returned to Cincinnati where he then taught at the Art Academy mentoring many students. He was considered a pioneer of the Abstract movement, at the time, and he remains one of Cincinnati’s best-loved native artists. His artwork is displayed in the Cincinnati Art Museum and Xavier University. More information about the artist can be found under Related Links.
