John P. Stewart Oil on Canvas Titled "Aurora"
Item Details
An original signed airbrush painting titled Aurora c.1985 by listed Cincinnati artist John P. Stewart, an esteemed professor at the University of Cincinnati DAAP school. Stewart’s artworks have been featured at several museums and institutions including the Whitney Museum and the Baltimore Art Museum. The visually striking work from Stewart’s Satin Sheets series, features a nude woman lying face down on luminescent pink and blue satin fabric, her long brown hair tied up at the back and her arms stretched out in a state of repose. Stewart’s use of color in this piece is all the more stunning as the artist is color blind. The piece is signed by the artist on the back of the canvas as well as to the lower left corner of the work. Displayed in a gilded and beveled wood frame which is wired to the back. John Stewart earned a BFA from the University of Colorado and a MFA from University of California in Santa Barbara. He began his teaching career at the University of North Carolina in Greensboro, and finished his teaching career at the University of Cincinnati where he started in 1973.
