About the Item
Restaurant Afloat presents a lively maritime scene where a moored vessel, brightly festooned with colourful bunting, rests along a quiet waterway, nestled between brick industrial buildings and the fresh spring foliage of overhanging trees. The juxtaposition of the nautical and the urban is rendered with both charm and restraint, as the artist balances gritty riverside textures with the festive spirit of the boat itself.
There’s a subtle naïve quality in the simplified architectural forms and slightly exaggerated lines, offset by a confident use of bold, flat colour. A naturalistic palette of soft greens, cool blues, and warm earth tones ties the elements together, creating a harmonious interplay between human industry and seasonal renewal.
With its unpretentious style and inviting detail, the painting celebrates everyday beauty, capturing a fleeting, almost whimsical moment where maritime heritage and the rhythms of city life gently converge. Inscribed to the reverse. On board.

1972 Gestural Oil Painting Boat in Harbor Figural Abstraction Raoul Middleman
By Raoul Middleman
Located in Surfside, FL
Raoul Middleman (born 1935 in Baltimore, Maryland) is an American painter. Middleman has been a member of the Maryland Institute College of Art faculty since 1961. American University Museum at the Katzen Center has described Middleman as a "Baltimore maestro [whose] nudes are not pretty—they are sagging, dimpled, and real. His cityscapes reveal the underbelly of post-industrial rot, his narrative paintings give contemporary life to his personal obsessions. They are intelligent, messy, and utterly masterful."
From an interview with RM "I was doing abstract art. Then Roy Lichtenstein came around, and I wanted to be current. I remember Grace Hartigan said, “You’ve gotta go to New York, seize destiny by the hand.” My friend Jon Schueler took my slides up to Eleanor Ward, who had the Stable Gallery. My Pop art paintings were discovered. I moved to New York into Malcolm Morley’s old loft down on South Street. Agnes Martin was upstairs... People who interest me come from different quarters. I knew guys around Schueler, like B.H. Friedman. But I also knew the Pop world pretty well – Al Hansen, Richard Artschwager, Lichtenstein. I became friends with Raoul Hague...
