Boris Solotareff Watercolor Painting on Paper "Untitled Abstract Composition"

Item Details

A watercolor painting on paper of an abstract composition by listed American artist Boris Solotareff (1889 – 1966). Stamped by the artist’s estate to the lower left corner. Housed in a gilt frame under acrylic glass and matting. To the verso is a gallery label.

Born in Romania, Solotareff received his formal art training at the Munich Academy of the Fine Arts and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. While in Munich, Solotareff was exposed to the Munich Secession, a group of visual artists who sought to defend and promote their art against increasingly conservative views in Germany. His Munich period would impart his continual use of a sense of comfort called gemütlichkeit in his works. Solotareff would later move to the United States, where he remained longer than any other country. He was exhibited widely and often during his lifetime. Today, his works can be found in many private collections.
