Paul Chidlaw Original Pastel Drawing on Paper

Item Details

An original abstracted pastel drawing on paper by well-listed American Abstract Expressionist Paul Chidlaw (Cincinnati, 1900 – 1989). The drawing depicts a composition made up of small scribbles and areas of gestural linework in shades of blue, purple, yellow, and more. The drawing is unsigned, but the artist’s estate stamp is visible to its verso. Presented without matting or framing, awaiting your choice of presentation.

Chidlaw was born in Cleves, Ohio and studied at both the Cincinnati Art Academy and L’Ecole des Beaux Arts in Fontainebleau, France. He returned to Cincinnati where he then taught at the Art Academy mentoring many students. He was considered a pioneer of the Abstract movement, at the time, and he remains one of Cincinnati’s best-loved native artists. His artwork is displayed at the Cincinnati Art Museum and Xavier University.
