Wilbur Niewald
(Missouri, 1925-2022)
Across the Kaw, circa early 1970s
Oil on canvas
39" x 48"
A vivid and abstracted landscape by the revered painter that Nelson-Atkins Director Julian Zugazagoitia dubbed "the Patriarch of the Kansas City Art World." Not only was Niewald's fruitful body of work both exciting and influential, but his career as a member of the Kansas City Art Institute faculty, begun in 1949, saw him help to prepare several generations of contemporary painters.
Signed and titled to the reverse. Presented in a walnut frame with metal sight edge, measuring 40" x 49".
Provenance: From the collection of a Fortune 500 company, acquired from the artist.
Very good / good condition. There is a stable, pronounced network of cracking to areas of the paint layer that appear to be an intentional element of the work, lending the painting a distinctive level of visual interest.
