Wilbur Niewald
(Missouri, 1925-2022)
Florence, circa late 1960s
Watercolor on paper
13 1/2" x 19" (sight)
An expressive abstract 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.
Pencil-signed to the bottom right, and titled to the reverse. Presented behind glass in a wooden frame that measures 22" x 28".
Provenance: From the collection of a Fortune 500 company, acquired from the artist.
Very good condition. Not removed from the frame.
