Who said painting isn't a team sport? Two artists of different styles
collaborate to achieve a seamlessly unified picture. Arthur M.
Fitzpatrick's photorealism of the car joins Van Kaufman's post-post
impressionist background with figures to create a quintessentially
American auto-advertising aesthetic marked by precise detail, evocative
design, and sumptuous color. The picture is visual poetry that delights
the viewer's eye, but is also a historically important style that rivals
the modern art styles pushed by major museum curators. As of today, it
is sadly left out of the fine art conversation, but with a frenzied
interest in all things popular culture, that could be changing soon. We
are looking forward to the Fitzpatrick-Kaufman tag-team artist being
front and center in the fine art canon. Initialed lower left. Board
21.88 x 21.5, Frame under plexiglass to 24.38 x 24.38, Collage
component.
Condition of the art is excellent with snappy, saturated
color. The frame is an inexpensive metal frame with some scuffs on the
plexi and nicks on the metal. The work would benefit from an appropriate
new high-end frame
