John P. Stewart Airbrush Acrylic on Canvas Titled "Satin Blue-Standing"

Item Details

An original signed acrylic airbrush painting titled Satin Blue-Standing c.1977 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, in a vertical orientation, from Stewart’s Satin Sheets series, features a woman draped in luminescent blue satin fabric, her form posed against a white wall with dramatic black cast shadow, with gray satin fabric on the floor. Stewart’s use of color in this piece is all the more stunning as the artist is color blind. The unframed piece is signed and dated by the artist on the back of the canvas. 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. His work is widely collected and exhibited with pieces in the collections of the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art among others. Additional information on the artist is included in the enclosed link.
