Roland Huston Oil Portrait of Woman in Green Sweater

Item Details

An original oil on canvas painting by well-regarded Cincinnati painter Roland Huston (1936-2005). The image depicts a stunning portrait of a woman in a solid green sweater, her arms crossed over her chest. The beautifully simplified features of her face and surroundings are reminiscent of the Bay Area Figurative Movement of the 1950s. The artist masterfully combines colors and patterns to create an emotive, fascinating image. The painting is unsigned but comes directly from the artist’s estate. It is not framed, awaiting your choice of presentation. Huston was revered as both an academician and painter. He was a teacher from 1987 until 2005 and also famously studied under Paul Chidlaw at the Cincinnati Art Academy. The artist’s relationship with his teacher continued far beyond their years at the Art Academy, however. He passed away in 2005 at the age of 69 and is remembered by many as a beloved teacher, artist and friend.
