Paul Chidlaw Original Mixed Media Abstract Painting on Panel
Item Details
An original abstract impasto mixed media oil painting on board with pastel by well-listed Cincinnati artist Paul Chidlaw (1900-1989). Chidlaw taught at both Our Lady of Cincinnati College (now part of Xavier University) and the Art Academy of Cincinnati from 1946 to 1963, where he was also a student from 1919 to 1923, before going on to study at L’ Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Fountainbleu, France. Chidlaw’s art is highly revered and is displayed at the Cincinnati Art Museum and Xavier University as well as many private collections. The Chidlaw Gallery at the Art Academy of Cincinnati is also named in his honor as he is still revered for being one of the first Abstract Expressionists to work in Cincinnati. This impasto painting is relative to Chidlaw’s more purely expressive works, of thick paints and colorful hues. It is signed lightly to the lower right edge, presented inside a fine carved and pierced wood frame with scrolled corners and foliate borders with a distressed gilt finish.
